Topic	Biden Administration to revisit plan of putting Tubman on $20...
Zeus 01/30/21 5:47:22 AM #53:	AC_Dragonfire posted... Malcolm X or MLK would be better. Nobody wants Harriet Tubman on the fucking 20$. This is just another tactic from the left to piss off the centrist and conservative people. Really just the same issue there. Unbridled9 posted... My question is; why the 20? The 1 and 5 are pretty obvious as to why they're not being changed but why not the $10 (Hamilton)? What about the $2 or the $50? I mean I guess Jefferson and Grant might be a bit disrespectful... But it seems weird that they went right for the $20. General backlash against Andrew Jackson from reactionary elements who, if appeased, would simply move their ire to another founding father until everybody was changed and then they'd start debating the merits of the new people on the money. grimhilde00 posted... Oh yes her being a symbol and HEROIC driving force for freedom from slavery is just "good deeds" and not at all significant wtf. And once you put your sound and fury aside, you're not left with much. You have countless Americans who acted heroically to save lives who also don't meet the criteria. Paul Revere, for instance, saved more lives (and not just for his midnight ride) and worked to ensure that we had an America today yet he's not on money. argonautweakend posted... The thing is, for a lot of currency history we've just had generic "lady liberty" figures on money, we've also had Susan B Anthony and Sacagawea on dollar coins and other things. People say it can't be done or shouldn't be done but it's already been done, sooooooo Overlooking that you're talking about coins in the case of SBA and Sacagawea, those were also shitty decisions. Regardless, a generic figure is more suited than randomly honoring somebody. Joe_Biden posted... she wasn't a politician though, and only those people are allowed to be on anything, didn't you know? Might as well put me on the $20 at that point. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:950081776] in Biden Admi...
