Moreover, there are other bills. I can't think of another more symbolic woman, at least off of the top of my head, for the US

Darn what a pity.

There isn't anything inherently sjw with putting her on the bill, she was an important figure.


More important than Betsy Ross or Eleanor Roosevelt? I don't think so.

393
If people think I'm being picky then this takes my spotlight.

I'm less worried about the looks as opposed to the REASONING behind it.

Even an unattractive lady (Eleanor Roosevelt) is prettier than Harriet Tubman, anyone is. It's like at a company, nobody wants to put an ugly person in charge of anything. Nobody is asking for a ten, but someone that looks presentable. Heck, if I owned a fortune 500 corporation, I'd never allow someone who was absolutely hideous to be a CEO or have any leading role.

they could've at least had a better picture

Naturally, she is hideous. I don't think there are any better pictures of her.

He probably thinks that Nick is an undercover cop.

harriet tubman is black
eleanor roosevelt and betsy ross are both white

I felt this coming from a mile away.

Off Topic / Americans choose Harriet Tubman to be on the $20 bill

Quite sad to me, couldn't there of been someone else (a women) who made more contributions to society? Eleanor Roosevelt? Betsy Ross?

Thats one picture of me and you need to look more closely. My cheak bone and my eyes resemble that of most native Americans. My grand mother and grand father were creole and they had my mom. My skin color is on the lighter side. If you were to compair my features to a pure African black decent, there would be a difference. I have a teacher who would be considered white but you cant see the hint of native american in her by her eyes and cheekbones. You just need to pay more attention to detail.

I thought this video was funny https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1zLzWtULig

I made a mistake saying that to you, but by no means was it a bad comment. I may be thinking about the wrong black person on the forums then.

399
Actually it would. Miscegenation has been a growing thing ever since the slaves came off the ships so there would be a big difference. My Ethnicity includes Black, Native American, and creole. I know lost of other people who have mixed in them

I recall seeing a picture of you, and I didn't see anything else but black in you. It could be generations back that you have Native/Creole blood. BTW, Creole's tend to have many prominent white features and light skin.

Because whites make up the largest percentage of the population there? How are you not getting this?

At most polling centers, blacks, Hispanics, and Asians are just labeled as minorities. Soon they'll be the majority, in fifteen years or less due to slowing birthrates among whites.

Our mineral resources are no longer as popular as they once were because other countries are producing them cheap, and the world is becoming less reliant on coal and oil products.

We don't have a single good media studio, with exception to the guys who created The LEGO Movie (which is still technically an American film).

Most of our products are Chinese rip-offs or American imports. Many Australian-made products are either inferior quality, or only have a digital market-place because the giant store chains won't sell their products.

I did read about the copper industry in Australia dying due to China's overproduction of the resource, would you say that from what you are witnessing, as an Australian, that your nation's economy is slowing down?

Honestly, there some white people who are afraid of black people, that's considered a form of racism because black people are no more violent that white people or any other race.

Not going to lie, that's true. When you see some people dressing like complete hoodlums  (whether they are black, white, Hispanic or Asian) and walking a certain way, there is no reason for the person not to be scared. I'd be scared too, my friend.

403
The majority percentage in the 2008 U.S. consensus states that white people are the majority in NYC. But of course, you have to bend the truth so it fits your narrative.

If Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians make up a total of nearly 5.5M people in the city, and out of 8M, only 3.5M are white, how would whites be the majority?

404
I forgot to add this in, keep in mind this would be classified as biased and subjective. However, from my experiences, if a black person were to say a bunch of crap to a white person, the chances are the white person wouldn't act as violently as the black person. This is just from what I've seen and experienced.

405
what

What?

that's not how it works when there's more than two factors
that would mean that literally everybody is a minority, which is uh, not what a minority is

Blacks, Hispanics and Asians are considered to be a minority in the US overall, while in NYC they outnumber whites. Therefore, whites are the minorities.

America is very tolerant but not everyone in america is tolerant. I have seen very small cases racism( meant not blunt) and i have meet black people who hate white people. Infact, this one ratchet ass girl was saying "I bet you wont do nothing" to every one of my white friends last week. It was actually pretty funny bc this girl is turning up for no reason and was out right disrespectful and my friends just ignored her.Not all rules are followed by everyone, sometimes these instance arn't easily traceable. Im not saying most of the time people are breaking the rules.

Also i found a really interesting article.

Well lucky for me, I've never witnessed a white tribal before. Where I live, if I were to ever talk crap to a black person from say Harlem or Bedford Stuyvesant (slum-like areas), then I'd either be beat up or shot.
