If that's truly your position, then you'll have to admit that a powerful case could be made for any one of many hundreds, if not thousands of great American gone by to replace all of those depicted on US currency.
It follows then, given the politically correct ridiculousness with which America finds herself presently beset, that IF Jackson is replaced with Tubman, we may well be opening the floodgates of controversy all over again. I mean, the Founders though great men of tremendous insight, were nonetheless imperfect. And you know as well as I do that if success is achieved in this case it will be open season on the rest. And BTW, the whole argument was made by an Administration which was unabashedly and proactively biased against white people, not to mention the huge cost attached to it for the taxpayer at a time when it can in no way be justified.
No, this has nothing much to do with Harriet's wealth of, or lack of merit. This is just another spoke in the wheel of 'the transformation' as envisioned by and initiated by one Barack Obama. It's a completely uncalled for foot-in-the-door, in order to rewrite and redefine history. Just as in the case of the repeal of DADT, a PC argument that resulted in the immediate deterioration of our military state of readiness and a huge outlay of tax dollars.
MLK's dream was for black people to be judged by the content of their character. Well, the bus had just pulled into that station for a precious few seconds when the opportunists put the goalposts on wheels. Like I said, it will never stop.
