No, I like Harriet Tubman. You just need the right picture of her.

Look at that trigger discipline. Rowr.

 

First American female to lead troops into battle.

 

Or if you want to stick to portraits:

Harriet ALWAYS had a gun on her, and usually a sword. She was special forces combat veteran, and general bad ass. She's Rambo's Rambo.

 

Picture #3 - She knows Chuck Norris. She's legit.

 

Our Founding Fathers and early war heroes will all be PC'd out of existence.

Harriet Tubman is a founding mother of modern America. Like the other founders she defied an anti-freedom establishment and fought to bring freedom to the people she led. Tubman's efforts helped lead to changes in government that made life better for all of us.

 

While I don't think we should be replacing Presidents who are on bills, she's not horrible.

While I think the claim that she was the first to lead troops in battle is bogus, it's not because she didn't. I think there are others before her. She certainly contributed to the Civil War effort in numerous ways.

Heck there were women involved in the first battles of the revolutionary war.

 

No way they'll use a photo of her with an evil gun.

 

I don't disagree with the change, but feel that others deserve the recognition more. If we are addressing past sins, it was Andrew Jackson who was responsible for the "trail of Tears" Let s put a Cherokee Chief on the $20 bill. Also there are many other better choice than Harriet Tubman, much more influential in speaking out against Slavery, Why not Frederick Douglass? Or how about Thurgood Marshall, the first black Supreme Court Justice. Better Choices by far

 

Why not replace Andrew Jackson with Will Rodgers.

Everyone like the Roping Fool.

 

Thurgood Marshall was not a 2A supporter.

Douglass didn't nearly do as much as Tubman, he was a statesman who fought with words, Tubman fought with everything she had. She was the ideal American, a true freedom fighter.

It took this change to wake people up, it's interesting how the tone within the SB threads has changed from the very first post about Tubman. Initially it was the typical SB hate and racism, the attacking of her without knowing who she was. As people were forced to look at who she was, many have seen that she is an amazing person and held dear to the ideals that many of us do.

WTF!?!?!!!!!

 

What was obamatollah smoking when he picked her for the 20? A gun toting battle leader.

 

While I see her as a fine choice given her contributions to American history, I do see this change as nothing more than an appeasement to the left and intended to be further inflammatory in dividing the left and right. It's a political move, nothing more.

 

I'm more ok with Tubman on the 20 (but only if they use that photograph of her) than the proposed changes to the $5.

What message is the US Treasury sending if they have a slave on the front and a slave owner in back of her?

Will the new $5 bill also feature a bullet hole in it?

Why indeed?

What reason could foreigners have for concerning themselves with US politics or social issues?

Because US politics have a direct impact on us.

 

This is all feel good BS. They should just leave the paper money alone and have a rotating face on the dollar coin. Sacagawea had her time, Tub man can have hers and in a few years move on to another notable historic American. That would also help the currency because collectors would want them all.

Tubman was a second amendment supporter.
Those who would would make you a slave ALWAYS want you disarmed.

When asked about his choice, Obama said,
"Cause Morgan Freeman's already in everything ELSE."

 

I'm glad others knew this! She was a huge supporter of the 2nd Amendment. Good reminder to America that the sort of folks who favor gun control are typically white elites.

Thank you Pres. Obama.

 

I oppose the change based only on one fact: the reason for the change. Tubman is an important historical figure, and she deserves it, but the reason she was chosen was:

Primarily, because she was a woman.

Secondarily, because she was black.

Thirdly, her place in history is significant in a way that promotes a modern day race-based victimhood complex.

While it's true that she was a God-fearing, gun-toting, Evangelistic Christian Republican, that had nothing to do with it, and those making the change will not allow any particular mention or portrayal as such on the currency template they will choose.

On the other hand, I think Jackson's removal was a long time coming. He's not the only president whose bad behavior should preclude him from being on currency, but he's definitely one of the top offenders.

 

It was said on the news that Jackson was being moved to the back of the twenty. Not quite sure what to think about that. I'm also wondering if "In God We Trust" will be removed from the back of the bill while they're at it..

 

Federal law requires "IN GOD WE TRUST" to be printed on every form of currency the US treasury issues.

 

Is it still worth $20?

 

It'll get you a pair of $10s

 

I greatly admire Harriet Tubman, but I also would have preferred this change to have been made under a different president and at a time other than during a presidential campaign. It diminishes her, because it gives the appearance of pandering.

 

Did you know that Jackson went after the big banks and members of congress for their corrupt ways? This video is quite interesting and seems to suggest that the change to Tubman is a way to lessen Jackson's contribution to the US.

Frankly, it turns my stomach that the images of ANY of our "Founding Fathers" are displayed on FEDERAL RESERVE NOTES.

 

Jackson did to the natives the exact same thing they did to each other and the earlier civilizations that inhabited this continent. The natives raped and tortured white women and children. They weren't the noble savages depicted in Hollywood. They were combatants in a brutal two way fight and they lost. Demonizing the victors is a display of ignorance and naivete.

 

Come on. To replace Jackson? What a joke.

OK, if we must have a change, how about this woman? She'd look great on a twenty.

snip

I was kinda thinking of Trumps wife on a 20.

 

I have no problems with the change. But the portrait they're planning to use is hardly impressive.

 

Bonnie of Bonnie and Clyde? A murdering thieving wretch?



I was all in favor of taking Jackson off the $20. Now I hear they aren't actually taking him off the $20, but moving him to the back of the bill. I should have known this government couldn't possibly get this right.

Jackson's face on a Federal Reserve Note is ongoing insult to the man who made it his life's mission to destroy the central bank of the US.

 

Who cares who's on the twenty, our dollar is collapsing anyways and soon won't be worth the paper its printed on.

 

The concept is to replace a person that owned slaves, with a person that freed slaves.

 

And that's a stupid concept. This country was built by white men who owned slaves. That really annoys SJWs so they make meaningless moves like this.
