....She is the ugliest example you could possibly think of to adorn American currency, but who cares?...

Posted by Guest (Post 1215267)

First, if you do not know of Harriett Tubman, you are extremely ignorant about American history.

Second, there IS a black man in the group of people pictured on the back of the $2 bill. Surely, you have received $2 bills as change from your visits to strip clubs.

The reason Susan Anthony coins are not popular is the size was too often confused with a quarter - and a paper dollar is much easier to use and carry.

Why the fuss at changing pictures on bills? As long as the $20 buys the same amount, I do not care whose is on it

Ah, so its important that one be good looking before your face gets put on currency. ....thanks for clearing that up. Silly me, I thought it had to do with your accomplishments or the example you set for other Americans.

I'm quite familiar with most of the "they're equal" literature, yes, I read Guns, Germs, and Steel, The Bell Curve, among others. The equality argument just doesn't hold up.

As a whole these "people" just can't make it in a modern western society. Native American Indians, most of them never made it in "white" society and they "live" like cattle on reservations. Central American Indians who they've tried to bring out of the jungles and into modern societies don't prosper. Not until several generations of mixed breeding. Blacks have never moved out of poverty and violence. Africa today has genocide and slavery. All this talk is just that...talk. SHOW me successful blacks. Show me a tribe brought out of the Amazon or New Guinea who is thriving. They're not. You're peeing on my leg and you're telling me it's raining. We've become, through isolation, different species, like Darwins finches. Each specialized and different. We refuse to admit it and work WITH it, instead, we fight our strengths and weaknesses.

There IS something to be said about Neanderthal DNA in ALL human populations except negroids. Maybe the hybrid became just a little smarter, a little more ambitious. We're as close to chimpanzee DNS as we are to non-hybrid negroid DNA. Closer in some cases. It's said "we" have between 1-5% Neanderthal DNA, we're only 2% removed from Chimps.

I'm NOT saying blacks are chimps, I'm saying there is diversity in DNA among humans. I'm saying maybe the Neanderthal DNA added something critical that "we" have and they don't.

I'm saying there are genetic differences, physiological differences, psychological differences, ALONG with the skin coloring and the myriad of other physical differences like hair, ears, nose, musculature, bones, etc. There's a reason we look and act so different. It's genetic.



OMG, that was funny as hell...

I wonder what he/she thinks they did to deserve the luck of having been born with white skin?[/QUOTE]

I know! I mean, they could have been born females in male skin, right? Or maybe they are really white female that insist that they are black or maybe a white female that swears she is half native American. Hillary is a great example of a male born in female white skin. Why don't we call Hillary "black" and then put her on the currency? Then everyone would be happy. Nope, sorry but she is too ugly also.

What was wrong with the idea of putting Booker T Washington on the bill? At least most folks know who he was and what he was famous for. And that is without the great benefit of being taught Black History when I grew up. We didn't have Black History month, Ebony magazine, Black Miss America, Jet Magazine or Black academy awards when I was young, so I guess I missed out. I was wrongly taught that we were all the same. But we did attach Soul Music to the black culture, if that means anything.

Being gay is not the norm, nor is it a choice.

At what age did you decide you were attracted to the opposite sex and not the same sex?

The same answer applies to almost all gays, they didn't make the choice.

More like when one cannot find or attract the normal opposite sex they turn to the next opportunity; or onto the next; and the next; etc.....anything that works!

Just don't try to convince the moral majority what those that do this are normal; as they are not.

The intention of opposites attract was/still is to pro create. Last I was aware there was only one normal that makes that happen!

Posted by Guest (Post 1217227)

But, they insist that animals do it also. That makes them seem so right, when they compare themselves with abnormal animals. :a20: The liberal mind is so superior...:a20:

Posted by Guest (Post 1217178)

So, you are saying that gays are mentally retarded? Are you saying that gays do not understand normal from abnormal? If they are adult and gay, do they not have a choice? Are they unable to make a choice based on normal and abnormal? Just wondering, since I am not an EXPERT. Perhaps, since you indicate that attraction to a gender is not automatic when born, that maybe it is a LEARNED attraction? I wonder when bestiality will become the fad norm. It's been allowed in Denmark for a long time. Isn't that the country that liberals proudly use as an example of a successful socialist system? Do you think that those practicing bestiality were born with that attraction or do you think it was a LEARNED attraction? Just wondering. I'm not an expert on human nature. Should we give those type of choices a special benefit and special rights also? When do you suppose that pedophiles will come forward with their demand for special consideration? Oh, so many questions and nobody has the answers.

The country is burning while Obie plays the fiddle thinking only of climate control.

Posted by Guest (Post 1217443)

You really should work on your woefully inadequate ability to comprehend written words.

I never said anything about 'mental retardation,' because if I had an argument could be put forth using your own words as proof of it.

I asked you "at what age did you decide you were attracted to the opposite sex and not the same sex" and you have purposely refused to answer a simple question.

The reason of course, to anyone with a bit of intelligence, is that you didn't make that choice...it was made for you.

While someone may feel 'icky' about same sex attraction of two consenting adults, that doesn't automatically mean it should be illegal. Heck, I personally think tattoos and drunken seniors are icky, but I'm not running around trying to get them outlawed if they really don't affect me (drunk driving being an obvious exception).

In other words, you don't have the right to force your feeling of repulsion on others, if it is between two consenting adults and doesn't affect you.

Why in the world would you think your right to not being uncomfortable, trumps other people's right to do things that really doesn't affect you and is between consenting adults?

I passed Harriet Tubman's little white house many a time over the years as it sits not too far from the lake and down the road from St. Joseph's cemetery . Also drove by William H. Seward's mansion often which sits in downtown .

Harriet Tubman was an important component of the Underground Railroad but not the leading component. And William H. Seward Secretary of State, purchaser of Alaska and founder of the Republican Party under Abraham Lincoln help guide us through the civil war.

The fact is that the 1964 Civil Rights Act was the beginning of "Black Lives Matter" only movement and has since then been fueled by misguided white guilt. I say this because people of all colors, creeds, national origins have dealt with the same issues of mistreatment since the beginning of time.

Its not fair but its the human experience and eventually decent living people say enough is enough and equilibrium takes hold. But should we go beyond that? Should balance be turned on its head? Should emotional over reach overtake logic? Should those once offended now be allowed to offend with impunity? Should only Black Lives Matter matter?

The original plan was to place a woman on the $10 bill. Alexander Hamilton is placed in higher regard than Andrew Jackson, a slave owner. And since it became a crime to display the Confederate flag and all things southern fell out of vogue, except their warm weather and lower taxes who better to display than Harriet Tubman. Consider by the way that confederate soldiers were legally American war veterans

Is it coincidence by the way that the $20 bill is the most circulated bill in America will now display a woman of color. Is it wrong?

I felt an affection for that little white house every time I passed it . A sense of pride that America and Americans would always right the wrongs, always do what was right and just in the long run.

However because of the over reach by the left on this issue of race betrays Harriet Tubman because many of us won't know if she really is on the $20 bill for her accomplishments or if its some type of atonement ? I say this because i wonder why given his great accomplishment during those civil war years Willaim H Seward was not considered or countless other American men or women who have served this nation with distinction.

In fact I wonder why not place "the unknown soldier" on this most circulated bill?

Posted by Guest (Post 1217586)

I to passed that little white house every day. I take great pride in coming from the city she chose as her home. I am also proud that they are placing her on a bill. It should not matter about the color of her skin or her gender. Honor her for the great work she did. This is not to say Jackson was not good, but maybe as the world changes we should open our eyes and change also.

She "supposedly" helped 300 slaves escape.

That is ALL she did.

Some people only see and hear what they want to. You and many others are blinded by the color of a person skin and refuse to see the person inside and the great works they did.

1. Harriet Tubman was known as the Moses of her people. ‘Go Down Moses' is a song she used to communicate her coming and going.

2. After the outbreak of the Civil War, Harriet Tubman became a soldier, spy and a nurse.

3.Harriet was successful as a nurse due to her ability to cure men of dysentery by means of native herbs.

4.She was the first woman to lead an armed expedition in the war. She guided the Combahee River Raid, consisting of 300 free African soldiers on 3 gun boats to liberate more than 700 enslaved Africans in South Carolina.

5.In her later years, Tubman worked to promote the cause of women's suffrage. Tubman travelled to New York, Boston, and Washington, D.C. to speak out in favour of women's voting rights. When the National Federation of Afro-American Women was founded in 1896, Tubman was the keynote speaker at its first meeting.

6. Harriet Tubman spent her last years in a home called the ‘Harriet Tubman Home for Aged and Indigent Negro' which she established in Auburn New York.

7. After her death, Harriet Tubman was buried in Fort Hill Cemetery in Auburn with military honors.

Harriet Tubman devoted her life towards the abolition of slavery. She is an inspiration to many for her relentless struggle for equality and civil rights. She is one of the most notable figures in the history.

I am again proud to say I am from the city she called home.
And I am very pleased I do not share the hateful and bigoted ideas of some the postings about this matter.

Yes, that sexual choice was automatic for me at an early age (I am a heterosexual). What if I was sexually attracted to my sister, would that attraction make it acceptable to the majority of people? What if I was attracted to killing the neighbor's pets, does that make it acceptable to the majority of people?



If there were a large majority of people that felt it was "icky" (maybe 96.6% of the population), you should understand that it is considered "icky", and keep that stuff to yourself, unless your goal is to have a lot of people tell you how "icky" it is...



I believe; I do have the right to express my feelings of repulsion, if I get enough support from others (maybe 96.6% of the population) we can force our feeling of repulsion on those that are repulsing us.



Why in the world would less than 4% of the population, think they have a right to make the majority of the population (96.6%) feel uncomfortable with that "icky" ****?
