Black people speak for themselves, and you still get mad. And when we sat around and took it in the shorts while trembling in fear, white folks still kicked us in the ass.
Let those groups speak for themselves. They don't need your voice....especially because it's disingenuous anyway. You're only invoking them because you don't want a black woman on the money.
Oh, i most certainly believe that, and it's not because you have a debit card either.
Where did you get the idea that I would get mad at black people? I am merely saying the selection should be merit based not gender or race based. That is wrong?
Was she not selected because of AA? Show me your proof.

Why would i show you proof? Why would i even bother with something like that?
If she was selected because of AA (an absurdity considering that she's been dead forever), then so what? Why the butthurtery?
Just spend the damn twenty bucks and find something else to inflame your outrage.
We should just have a picture of a tree or something. Anything else and somebody says they are offended. Come to think of it, how about a big middle finger and make the PC crowd deal with that!
Sounds great, but it needs to be a manly tree, maybe a mighty oak or something, with a stout limb suitable for lynching, and the bill needs to be printed in red as a symbol of watering it with the blood of patriots. None of those namby-pamby Bradford pears or weeping willows or anything. Also, the background should be the Realtree camo pattern. The treasury could charge a fee for advertising.
On the other hand, a squash would work just as well, and would represent the educational level of millions who never studied their history. As long as it spends like it should, I'm good.
It's time we honored people other than white males on our money. Why can't we get to a point where every American gets recognized in this small way? Why must it always be white presidents?
Yes, Tubman was chosen because she's a black female, but also because of her contribution. There's nothing wrong with that. Women and blacks have been oppressed for too long. Give us a little slack.
I have no opinion on the matter. I kind of feel that only presidents should be on money, but I suppose they have already put non-presidents on some coins. If we want to put a non-president on a bill, then she is a good choice.
Ben Franklin has been on the hundred dollar bill since 1929. We have a non-president precedent.
What about great ( not that too many were great, most were a holes) industrialists in US history. If US currency is all about finance, business and banking, which it most certainly is, and if that same finance, business and banking now runs the government, which it most certainly does, why not have the great business leaders have their faces on currency? That makes way more sense than random politically correct minor historical figures. JP Morgan, John Rockefeller, Dale Carnegie, Henry Ford, etc.
A little girl chose her. Yep sounds about right in modern America.
I wonder how she feels about a 6'3" dude in a wig taking a dump in the next stall over.
Strange.
What does one have to do with the other??
Or did the word 'fair' that she used already cause you to recognize her as a dirty filthy librullll at 10 years old?
I suppose reading the word 'fair' made you burp out a little pent up hatred, huh?
