Robert Remini has a very good three-book biography of Jackson.

Tubman drunk knowledge

A $12 bill would have been more appropriate to release instead

Harriet Tubman broke the law in order to do what she believed was morally right.

I take that as encouragement for our camp.

Post: #105

This is merely a successful bid in trolling the majority Right in the last months of the Obama Presidency. No more and no less. It's not necessarily that Tubman isn't worth her face on money, but more that she is replacing Jackson on the $20.

Because this trolling will only accelerate political tension, regardless of other issues anyone wants to focus on, I don't care about it.

The only real issue is that Jack Lew, a high level Zionist, is facilitating it. This highlights the actual trolling, which is that a civil rights hero is being memorialized in another nation by a supporter of one of the most egregious apartheid states in the modern world. This is a case rubbing a double standard in, and rubbing hierarchy in. They are aware of the irony of Jack Lew facilitating this. There won't be a Palestinian Civil Rights activist, or tunnel builder, on Israeli money any time soon. The truth is that if Jack Lew is concerned about civil rights, then he should spend every second of his life assisting the Palestinian situation in favor of the Palestinians rather than considering who to place on the $20. The truth is that the only concern is for racial agitation in the U.S.A., not civil rights memorialization.

Tubman did brave things, but her accomplishments are nowhere near Jackson's. They just aren't. He isn't well-liked today, but the man ushered in a new era of American democracy, and none of these "progressives" would be possible today without him, hard as they may find that to believe.

If you're going to remove Jackson because he was a slave owner, then you need to remove George Washington from the $1 and quarter and Jefferson from the nickel. And if you're going to remove him because of the Indian Removal Act, you might as well just remove any pre-20th century American president because all were complicit in the depopulation and deportation of native tribes.

This was a shit test and the weak-kneed cuck leaders failed while getting to antagonize a hated out-group. Hopefully Trump gets in and reverses it.

I think that they're doing it, now, because they know that it will be politically impossible to reverse.

I have nothing but respect and admiration for Harriet Tubman. Just a basic look at her life shows you that this was someone who was more of a saint than a political figure.

I can't think of a more deserving American woman in history to be recognized by having her image on currency.

Not only this, but women need positive role models as much as men do. But do you think the average iPhone attention whore is going to change her screen-saver to a photo of Harriet Tubman? Do you think these dorks are going to really try to imitate her principles? Or are they just going to cherry-pick what they want?

See, this is the thing.

I have to admit that feminism and SJWism has created such toxic climate of hostility and hate, that even deserving women (like Harriet Tubman) are hard for men to accept without seeing some subterfuge going on.

They've hardened our hearts so much that we get defensive and suspicious even when deserving women are brought up for recognition. Maybe that's my problem to overcome, but I have to be honest.



But no big deal, it's all good.

There are no "deserving women" for something as fundamental to life itself as US greenbacks. It's a repulsive idea and will be a bitter pill to swallow.

I once wrote a post about how there is one sight that is more repulsive to me than any other, and that is one of a female judge, specifically a female US Supreme Court judge:

/thread-52147...pid1165119

Well, it turns out that there is something exactly equally repulsive -- and in fact identical in essence -- and that is a female mug on a US dollar denomination.

They should have just made a $1000 dollar bill with Dr. Dre's face on it and called it a day. I'm dead serious -- that would be a truly great addition to the pantheon that matters more than any other and sit well with all the dead presidents, gravely nodding to each other across the orders of magnitude.

But reality must be accepted, so what we'll have instead is a black-robed dyke handing her crisp Tubman to the solemn Sikh cabbie as HAGDOM scales ever greater heights of unquestioned prestige and omnipotence. So be it.

So Obama takes Andrew Jackson off the $20 bill. Andrew Jackson was so far above Obama, it's not funny. Obama is a poodle by comparison. How far down America has fallen.

Post: #114

The woman issue aside, Tubman was chosen specifically to re-ignite racial tensions as it brings up the topic of slavery again.

Elites playing divide and conquer. Same shit, different day.

Any American president up to WW2 is miles ahead of Obama, Bush, Clinton etc. When I hear people waxing on about the "genius" of Clinton or how Obama is "articulate" I have to hold back my laugh.

Go read Team of Rivals to understand real genius and what a worthy president is.

I'm Black and am neutral on this issue. There's so much bullshit on both sides of the debate. I like Tubman, but they're using her legacy for promote their sick agenda. I could make entire videos and write articles on this, but it would do me no good.

Tubman was a hell of a person and is obviously a vital piece of American history. However, Jackson was one of the best, if not THE best, President we've had and he should not be replaced. Put her on the $50, or make a new bill entirely.

Post: #118

Typical leftist historical revisionism. "Let's put Harriet Tubman on the $20! She was black and a leader.... and .... and ... black! She fought hard to end slavery!"

What goes unsaid: "... that us Democrats fought tooth and nail to keep active."

Post: #119

Nothing wrong with honoring Harriet Tubman.
But the questions that leave a bitter taste are "How? Why now? Why like this?".

You could say that putting her on the $20 bill is actually pretty racist/sexist. It's obvious that there's two reasons why she was chosen, she's black and a woman. Her actual achievements and inspiring life are a mere pretext, there's no way she would have been chosen if she was white and/or a man.
They would have just agreed on another, more politically expedient candidate.
The actual qualities of a person didn't matter in this process, only gender and race did. Things we cannot choose and have no influence on.
Tubman's life is looked upon as an example for overcoming and providing an example against this exact kind of thinking.
The liberals and leftists are starting to eat their own tail like an ouroboros.
Fact is, nobody cares that it's Tubman that's on the bill.
All the liberals care about is that it's someone who serves their political goals.
It's really not about honoring the great person depicted on the bill, it's about them and their agenda.
Sad!

Anyway, Tubman on the $20 bill is not the only thing that's going to change. Look at this:

Quote:But the broader remaking of the nation’s paper currency, which President Obama welcomed on Wednesday, may well have captured a historical moment for a multicultural, multiethnic and multiracial nation moving contentiously through the early years of a new century.
(...)
While Hamilton would remain on the $10, and Abraham Lincoln on the $5, images of women would be added to the back of both — in keeping with Mr. Lew’s intent “to bring to life” the national monuments depicted there.

The picture of the Treasury building on the back of the $10 bill would be replaced with a depiction of a 1913 march in support of women’s right to vote that ended at the building, along with portraits of five suffrage leaders: Lucretia Mott, Sojourner Truth, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Alice Paul and Susan B. Anthony, who in more recent years was on an unpopular $1 coin until minting ceased.

On the flip side of the $5 bill, the Lincoln Memorial would remain, but as the backdrop for the 1939 performance there of Marian Anderson, the African-American classical singer, after she was barred from singing at the segregated Constitution Hall nearby. Sharing space on the rear would be images of Eleanor Roosevelt, who arranged Anderson’s Lincoln Memorial performance, and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who in 1963 delivered his “I have a dream” speech from its steps.
(...)
One wild card is that Mr. Lew and President Obama have just months left in office. But Mr. Lew expressed confidence that his successors would not veto the currency makeovers.
“I don’t think somebody’s going to probably want to do that — to take the image of Harriet Tubman off of our money? To take the image of the suffragists off?” he said.
(...)
In advance of Mr. Lew’s decision, the emotion that the Treasury initiative had prompted was reflected in a letter to the Treasury secretary on Tuesday evening. More than three dozen women including actors, feminists, corporate executives and journalists objected to preliminary news reports that he was planning to renege on putting a woman on the $10 face, calling it, if true, “a major blow to the advancement of women.”
They admonished the Treasury secretary, saying: “ Could there be a better metaphor for second-class status that continues to limit our girls?”

By the way, what does it say about the current state of American society that Hamilton was only saved by a musical, of all things?

And apparently in all of American history, the only women who mattered, who suffered, who made a difference, who are worthy of being commemorated, are feminists or happened to belong to a minority. Sounds about right.

Anyway, Martin Luther King will be honored with a tiny image on the back of the $5 bill. While Tubman is admirable and inspiring, compare that to the achievements, influence and prominence in American history of Martin Luther King. Unfortunately for him and his legacy, he was male.
If he would have been a woman, his portrait would be put on the $20 bill now. But nowadays his achievements are rendered negligible due to his gender.
Pretty ironic, if you think about it.

Let's make our money look real funny so red pill men who try to use the bills in travel searching for better offshore truly feminine females will see their money REJECTED by the locals. Then be forced to stay at home and settle for being providers servicing SIF SJW militant feminists and their white knights behind ruining the USA and now ruining our currency that has been up till now trusted offshore for decades and will now look like the funny money it is.

Next, we will have to have Politically Correct Black Lives Matter bills with Oprah First Black Female Billionaire, Michelle Obama First Black First lady, B. Hussein Obama First Black POTUS, MLK First major martyred Civil Rights leader and Beyonce First Black Female Exotic Dancer to perform at the White house all on the various currencies.

The result being:

The leftards are determined to completely rewrite American history. Towards that end, they are going to remove any evidence of the true past. All the presidents will be removed from the money, statues will be taken down, streets and cities renamed, textbooks rewritten. We are talking total obliteration of our heritage. Five years from now school children will be taught that Harriet Tubman was the first president of the United States.

I wasn't aware of this, but there was actually a photograph taken of former president Andrew Jackson, a beautiful violent man.

TRUMP weighs in, ready to save the day:

http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/national-...49461.html

Quote:Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump said Thursday that abolitionist Harriet Tubman is "fantastic" but she shouldn't replace former President Andrew Jackson on the front of the $20 bill.

He cited "pure political correctness" for the Treasury Department's decision to feature the African-American abolitionist — who was born into slavery and led the Underground Railroad — instead of the nation's seventh president, a slave owner.

Speaking on NBC's "Today" show, Trump said Tubman's likeness should go on a different denomination.

"Well Andrew Jackson had a great history and I think it's very rough when you take somebody off the bill," Trump said. "Andrew Jackson had a history of tremendous success for the country."

He suggested that "maybe we do the $2 bill" or something else for Tubman.

Yeah, that's really my first thought as well. If they found a younger hotter version of Harriet Tubman, or maybe airbrushed her, then I would be all for having her face on money, of course they pick the uggo of all possible females to put on the $20 bill.

If they had put Jenna Jameson(or some other bigtime sloot) on the $1 bill, that would have at least made more sense, the strippers would make use of the $1 bills.
