Harriet Tubman, an avid abolitionist, a staunch suffragist, a helper in emancipating human beings held as chattel, appearing on the $20 bill does no harm to America. In fact, it recognizes certain things about American history that need to be remembered, not as a condemnation of the present or future, but as a reminder of the past. Plus, she stood for freedom, fought for equal treatment, and labored to see human beings find emancipation.

lol...


If I were you I would just print off a picture of ole Harriet, cut the face out, grab a $20 dollar bill and tape it over the face of Andrew Jackson...Wala, now we're cookin with gas.

You can take it to the grocery store, pull it out of your wallet, flash it around and dazzle every checkout clerk in the store...You could be a hero and HuffPost would be all over you.

There's your instant fix to the whole problem Geraldo, since you seem to be the only one worried about it to begin with.

Harriet Tubman sought the emancipation of human beings being held as chattel. Harriet Tubman worked to get the vote for her gender. America will not crumble, nor change, nor spiral into a devil's hell because Harriet Tubman is on a $20 bill. Period.

Well La-T-Da!!

I would think that by now that you should be able to tell that nobody really gives a rat's patooty . Perhaps ole Harriet should have fought this gallant campaign towards her ancestors fellow tribesmen for rounding up their own brothers and sisters and selling them for a few trinkets first...How come you do-gooder crusaders never tell that part of the story?

The economy is in shambles, North Korea is threatening nuclear war, heath insurance is in crisis, rioting is going on in the streets, hurricanes have and are continuing to ravish the south, and then here you have some ignorant liberal ding a ling going on about how we need to change the $20 bill for no reason at all other than "hey we need this black chick on a piece of money"...Why? "Well because she's black, that's why"....Yep, that's really something that we need to drop all this other unimportant stuff for and immediately take action on this really urgent and important piece of legislation...And your thick skull still can not fathom how somebody like Donald Trump was elected president..


I'll tell you exactly why Donald Trump was elected president, Geraldo...It's because of ding a lings like you that the American people have grown sick and tired of..


Here gitback, like this one.

Harriet Tubman believed that the idea that human beings could be bought and sold as livestock, and worked like livestock, was evil.

Harriet Tubman believed that denying a woman the right to vote violated basic principles of value and dignity.

Harriet Tubman's image on the $20 bill is not connected to North Korea. Harriet Tubman's image on the $20 bill is not tangential to North Korea. Harriet Tubman is the topic of this thread. Posters should remain on topic and engage in no tomfoolery at all. Any and all name calling is certainly not fun, but is rather to be taken seriously. It must be taken personally. Harriet Tubman's image on the $20 bill is no threat to America, no sweat to Donald Trump, no fret to the economy.

[Bob Seger]

Well goody for her...I anxiously await the Spielberg blockbuster film and I hope to live long enough to see her image on Mt. Rushmore with those other cool dudes......NOT

I'm sure that you've noticed that nobody else cares either.

Cassius Clay also aligned himself with Islamic hate groups, lets put that coward on the 50 cent piece while we are at it too.

Personally I think this deserves some off the wall "woman at the well" attachment to it...Do spew more useless jibberish, Geraldo. Do spew.

...Pins and needles, my boy, pins and needles.

Harriet Tubman, of course, is the topic of this thread: her image on a $20 bill specifically. Of course, no matter where one falls on the political spectrum, one must remain on topic, with as much concentration and focus as Harriet Tubman put into standing up against slavery, against unequal treatment, against injustice. Cassius Clay, for example, courageous as he was, is not the topic of this thread.

[Bob Seger]

Oh, I'm on topic because it's all related...You just cant stand that I am and it is. It defeats your hack narrative. It deeply disturbs you that common sense plays a part in all of this jibberish...

Ooops excuse me, a liberal would not be familiar with any of that.

The record on Harriet Tubman is steeped in folk lore and exaggerations. Andrew Jackson on the other hand, whose image she would replace but only at the behest of the outlaw administration with whom you are so enamored and whose contempt for white men was epic, is a Founding Father. Period.

True enough Bob. Sombrero proves a point about all libs though, and that is the dogged manner in which all libs cling to the ridiculous. No argument can dissuade them, when bested as they always are when confronted by logic and fact, they fade off for a few days and reemerge the triumphant debater after the dust settles.

When one lives in La-La Land all truth is subjective anyway, so why ever admit defeat? Like a soap opera, it's the same old superficial baloney day after day.

[TheRealThing]

^^ And while I'm on the subject, the same holds true at the national level. If you will recall, the Obla-Blah-Blah administration held to their propagandist absurdities until the detractors were too exasperated to continue the fight and the sheeple were placidly bought off. It's amazing to hear the Republican Speaker and the Senate Leader current parroting of Obama by-lines. Time for a :flush:

Andrew Jackson is not a founding father. Founding fathers were the men who led us to independence in the Revolution and helped establish the US. Andrew Jackson at 9 years old did not declare independence nor at 20 years old helped write the constitution.

He did however help decimate the Native American population with his Indian Removal Act appealing to southerners scared of anyone or anything different like yourself. So it's easy to see why he's a hero to people like you.

Of course, the subject being Harriet Tubman, who indeed was an abolitionist, a suffragist, a worker in the Underground Railroad, the only reasonable response to unreasonable supremacism is to go on down to Pine Mountain Grill and grab a steak dinner, using a $20 bill.

Harriet Tubman was not a conspiracist, nor a supremacist. This is why her image will be on the $20 bill. Her logic was that human beings ought not be bought and sold and driven like cattle. Her reasoning was that women were equal and should have the right to vote. Her premise was that getting slaves to freedom was just. The folklore of the nobility of the southern gentleman, the grace of the Southern belle? Harriet Tubman did not perceive it that way. Where the oppressor sees culture, the oppressed see suffering and injustice. This thread is about Harriet Tubman and her image on the $20 bill.

Who argued "northerners" were exempt from "steeped in sin at birth"? As did Harriet Tubman, I worship Christ. I doubt the Trail of Tears was a great time for "do unto others." It is not "folklore" to state that Harriet Tubman exhibited far more "do unto others" integrity than did Andrew Jackson. UNLESS, the alt right and white "history" books do a bit of revisionist figuring.

Elvis Presley hated racism and bigotry.

Elvis Presley bridged the gap of black music and made it acceptable to play on the mainstream airwaves.

Elvis Presley in his youth lived under the railroad.

Elvis Presley had many black friends.

Elvis Presley sang songs that many listeners thought were coming from a black singer.

Elvis Presley had back up singers in his band called the sweet inspirations that were all black.

Elvis Presley gave to many black charities.


I personally think that you are going for the wrong cat to be on the $20 bill...When you think about it that $20 spot should belong to The King of Rock n Roll...

Makes just about as much sense to put someone as the face of US Currency as what you are saying.

How about picking someone who tried to abolish the slavery that the Scotch/Irish had to endure? Nah, that wouldn't fit your narrative....And you in a million years would never bring it up or even discuss that. Why? Because you are a full fledged racist, is why.

Harriet Tubman believed viewing human beings as chattel to be bought, sold, forced into labor was evil. Harriet Tubman believed women should have the right to vote, same as men. Harriet Tubman worked to get enslaved human beings to freedom. The United States will suffer no damage from her image appearing on the $20 bill. Harriet Tubman is the subject of this thread. Elvis was an entertainer who sprang from Mississippi. He is not the topic of this thread. Pathetic subterfuge for supremacism is sad.

Yeah, the Scotch/Irish. It intends to reveal just exactly what it means just what it means to reveal...Bondage...I noticed you brush that to the side though. How about the Jew being the slave of the Egyptians? That better? All means the same except it doesn't fit into your racist narrative.

As previously stated, I am on topic....It is being used as a parallel example of the absurdity of what you are suggesting just to get someone's picture on a dollar bill....So just knock this new found stigma your into today...Just another one of the revolving repetitions that is similar to that of a scratched 45 of Hound Dog.

Founding fathers are men who organized against tyranny, fought the revolution, and wrote the founding documents of our country. Find me a "record" that calls Andrew Jackson a Founding Father since it's so easy to determine. Historians have always referred to the founding fathers as actual "founders" of the country. Not 9 year olds that had nothing to do with it.

Seriously, find me one credible source that refers to Andrew Jackson as a founding father, or any source that says founding fathers were guys who were Presidents in the 1830's. Go.

I don't have a favorite. If I was forced to pick one that wiped out the Northern tribes, I'd have to go with chickenpox or measles. Maybe the British after the Treaty of Paris since they are the ones that ceded most land to the new Americans without their permission. Not sure. Tough decision.

Yet again, Harriet Tubman believed that human beings should not be enslaved, held as chattel, bought and sold as cattle.

Why is that controversial? Threatening? Once again, perhaps only an alt white-right southerner would analogize Elvis and Harriet Tubman. To further remain on topic, placing Harriet Tubman's face on a $20 bill will have little impact on America, and will buy the same amount of gas.

Casually mentioning Harriet Tubman throughout your post is not remaining on topic.

I am warning you guys, stay on topic or the thread is closed.

Continue the childish and ridiculous banter and the entire political thread could be in jeopardy.
