I never like people on any currency.
It should only be historic landmarks in the country that are on currency.
Examples would be, Mount Rushmore, Empire state bldg, St Louis archway, Old Faithful, Diamond head etc, and be much more colorful instead of green, which in itself would make it harder to counterfeit.

I'm not the only that feels this way. What about shopkeeps who won't want the new Tubby PC money?
Whoever wanted to foment more discord between Whites and Blacks, they came up with an effective idea here I'll admit that. This has the potential to turn even the most mundane, pedestrian actions like buying milk from a corner store or, getting cash back from groceries into a potential fight.
It will inevitably become a case of accept the Tubby or be called a racist., and I'm just at the point where I wanna throw in the towel and say, "F--k it. I'm a racist."
Did you know in NYC, that senior public school staff (Assistant Principals up to District Superintedents) have to undergo mandatory classes that teach how to "keep your innate, evil whitness in check."?
"Those of Caucasian, European heritage are genetically more prone to feelings of entitlement and superiority as is evidenced by their vast multitude of historical atrocities. And, while this block of instruction can't fully purge the white mentality from all those present, it should at least serve as enough of a check on your natural reflexes to maintain socially acceptable behavior."
Really.
I wish this was made up.
Subsititute ANY race in the above description and, that official (Richard Carranza), while they might avoid criminal charges, would effectively be instantly and irreversibly removed from the American workforce.
...so are White people actually gonna do anything about it? No, they'll just continue to take it claiming "silent majority" or "nation of laws" or whatever when really they're driving themselves extinct by:
Under-Representing, Under-Reproducing, Over-Apologizing, and Over-Medicating themselves out of existence ...using Tubby 20s all the while...
Though, I do think that the concept of slavery is completely unjustigiable, that what Frederick Douglas, Harriet Tubman and the Tuskegee Airmen (to name a few) have done many honorable things worth the highest level of praise and, that the idea that moral or intellectual quality can be assessed by epidermal melanin percentage (aka skin color) is one of the dumbest ideas ever conceived...
...none of this will assuage my anger at all this anti-White PC bulls--t shoved down our throats until we vomit, barf, spew and, hurl forth the stinking, vitriolic chunks of hatred formed from being told steadily and increasingly over the past 20 years that pale European skin is responsible for every societal ill that does or has ever existed.
if you are going to do Harriet Tubman, you might as well do Oprah instead
Harriet Tubman is a very minor character in US history and is not deserving at all to be on US currency. If one wanted someone involved in the liberation of slaves, use Frederick Douglas, as he had a huge impact on the anti-slavery movement.
In 2016, Trump complained that having Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill was political correctness, wanting to keep Andrew Jackson on it. He said if she had to be on money, she should be on the $2 bill, which is no longer produced.
Today Mnuchin announced that Harriet Tubman was no going to even be a possibility under a Trump presidency; the soonest would be 2028.

I agree with that.....it's not necessary to change it at all, but it seems we are headed toward doing that. So I just thought it would be nice to kick around some names of women who have contributed to our country.
What about Julia Ward Howe? She wrote the Battle Hymn of the Republic and was also an early suffragette.
So you think Harriet Tubman didn't contribute?
AFAIK, Howe never risked her life for a single soul.
