All one can conclude is why is this person being chosen over all the known heros that made America great!
The majority is going to take another one in the chops.
And who in their right (or left) mind would challenge the choice and start another race debate of national proportion.
These are the kinds of actions that should be reviewed with the fat fat congress that SUPPOSEDLY represent us.
Does somebody in the treasury owe the black movement a favor or what?
If and when they ever make the change every American should refuse to accept them and hope the bill goes the way of the Susan B. Anthony coin....in a bag on the shelf at the treasury. |
The biggest problem was the Susan B. Anthony dollar looked and felt too much like a quarter. People didn’t want them and didn’t want to use them. So within three years the U-S Treasury stopped making them.

It was not because the coin featured a woman.
Kids have been studying Harriet Tubman since at least the 80's. First she was going to go on the $10 dollar bill but the Broadway musical Hamilton made him popular again so they put Tubman on the $20 instead.
Stonewall Jackson made his fortune with slaves and was well known for fighting American Indians. So he is not too popular in some circles. When they asked the treasury why Jackson was first put on the bill they did not have an answer. That seems hard to believe, doesn't it?
Don't shoot the messenger.
Good Luck boycotting twenties.
