Stating the truth is not trashing. She's on the bill because of her gender and skin color. That's sexist and racist! We do not need someone to be on there representing sexism and racism.
And this, America, and everyone else who is reading/watching, is why race relations in this country will never change.
People who embrace racist attitudes and beliefs hide behind computers and type their offensive garbage, and really reveal themselves. Yet, in public, they keep quiet and wait until they get home and cannot be seen, just so they can spew their nonsense in the dark.
Keep typing, my fellow American.
You're only proving what myself, and many others, already know.
Then the selection shouldn't be based on gender and skin color!
Also where are Asian, Latinos, Indian, Arabic and Native Americans?

Let those groups speak for themselves. You white folks don't have to pretend to be the protectors and advocates of every non-black minority in America in response to any decent recognition given to African Americans.

Damn....the hate is real.
If they don't speak for themselves, it's OK we poop on them?

Nope, things will never change....Never.
The true racism is choosing someone such as Tubman based on skin color rather than merit!
To people who got at least a halfway decent education and aren't looking to be outraged by every little thing, she represents courage, bravery, honor and dignity as a hero who stood up against the corrupt, heinous establishment of the Confederacy and helped engineer one of the biggest events in this country's history.
If you think her being black and being a woman overshadows all of that ^, then that speaks volumes to you as a person.
I thought some of you were tired of this corrupt establishment you call our government?
Can you prove otherwise? I have yet seen any rebuttal from you except for incoherent rant.
Please show me how she's chosen not because of her gender and race.
I don't see why this is a big deal...I couldn't think of a more non-partisan pick than Harriet Tubman
By non-partisan, you mean politically correct?
I highly doubt that Mrs. Tunman would want to be chosen for the name of political correctness and affirmative action!
