It’s hard to get worked up over a racist Democrat autocrat (Andrew Jackson) getting tossed off of the $20 bill in favor of Harriet Tubman, 19th century heroine of the abolition movement.
That being said… is today’s historic move by President Obama’s Treasury Department a positive step forward? Or more revisionist tampering in U.S. History by a White House that excels at it?

Total disgrace. The only goal is to pander to liberals and minorities. Jackson was the most bada.ss president ever and one of my personal favorites.
I won’t stand for this. I will not accept these new bills as tender, and if I do come into possession of any of them, I’m going to start drawing things on them. Or, maybe just write “ANDREW JACKSON” across the whole thing.
Well we need to remind people that Harriet Tubman was a REPUBLICAN.
So they replaced a racist Democrat who gave us the “Trail of Tears” with a black REPUBLICAN woman who fought for the end of slavery.
Need to use this opportunity to educate people on the history of the GOP and what it TRULY stands for, which is self relience.
Let’s the government piss more money away. With all the problems going on now is this really something they should focus on??
Does have Tubman have an official portrait?
I don’t really care, anyone from that long ago…eh…as long as they put President Barry or Hillary on anything I’m fine with it. Slavery = bad, Tubman against slavery = good…don’t see the issue.
Well they went from president to criminal. You make the call.
No this is Obama pandering
She was a heroine!
It’s pointless
We’ve got much bigger problems so let’s stop making up new problems to solve and actually DEAL with our REAL problems: jobs, economy, taxes, healthcare, education, infrastructure, etc
I, for one, could not be happier that a black, gun-toting Republican woman will be appearing on the $20 bill.
Bullshit
no thanks .
Revisionism. Pc-ness has permeated every facet of society to the point of ridiculousness.
She was a badass american. If you put all the political shit aside. She definitely deserves it.
For good or bad, President Jackson is part of our history. Will we be any better by trying to sweep what he did under the rug? Will it make those that are racist see their error in their thinking? I don’t think so
It’s all politics as usual!
Can’t wait to see what will be written and drawn on these new bills 🙂
Replacing a racist with racism. Yup, sounds like liberal logic to me.
Wrong
Wrong! More ‘Fundamental Change’
Revisionist
No not a good idea
I’m always ok with recognizing important people in our nations history and this woman does deserve that however I’m not for removing people we have previously recognized this way. I prefer to leave our history in place as a record of fact and create a new item, symbol or monument for her alone. Would it be fair to remove her some day in the future for someone else?
