Americans choose Harriet Tubman to be on the $20 bill

[ZombiLoin]

He had their interests at heart.

a spoils system where he awards friends with political office, the closure of the second national bank, and causing a deep recession are not the interests of the people.

jackson comes off as somebody who had his own political career in heart rather than the people's interests.

race is not culture. culture kept them wanting their land away from the americans to practice life as they did. race has nothing to do with anything as usual.

i'm starting to think you actually don't know us history.

the picture is kind of ugly
cool to see a black woman on currency though. harriet definitely deserves the spot IMO.
andrew jackson would hate to be on the $20 bill anyway, he was very opposed to having a federal bank. he also did genocide. gross

the color of their skin did not effect their thinking in wanting to continue their lives as they were, no.

have a cake nonnel

underrated post

[Ipquarx]

well first i already said i'm not going into butterfly effect bullstuff

And why's that, because it literally just proved your whole "x doesn't matter" thing wrong.

Of course you don't want to go into a discussion about a subject that completely proves your argument wrong.

also no that would not be a big change at all

You ceasing to exist is a very big change. It completely eliminates the possibility of an entire family bing created. One of your grandchildren could possibly do something so important it changes the world. But something your ancestor does in the past can prevent that from happening.

my apologies

for standing up for yourself like a pedantic BIG BOY you get TWO CULTURAL SUPREMACISM COOKIES  

it's a good thing us wonderful pure and infallible white people came across that hecka big pond to rescue the poor reddies! they obviously don't want all the wealth and societal privilege that we have, they're just LAZY. i don't know why taking away over 99% of the land they originally inhabited, and for dozens of decades forcing their kids to speak only english and go to white assimilation schools would somehow destroy the way of life they had before us WONDERFUL WHITIES came around to save their poor red hides! /s

The Republicans in the 1890's to 1920's, you know, like Theodore Roosevelt, also supported high taxes to support the economy, high wages and were astoundingly anti-corporate and broke up big businesses all the time because they felt business had too much influence. Now the GOP just kicks back to kiss corporate ass. So I guess you've never heard of ideological realignment.

The realignment which happened right around the 1960s. All the more reason not support political parties. All they do is lie, slander each others name, and make promises they can keep.

- guy trying to convince me that slavery, the egyptians, and 2 genocides that happened recently, in relation to the entire human history, don't matter

I'll give you something better.

Roman times: Jews kicked out of Israel by Romans, Romans claim the land. Rome falls apart. Jews migrate to Europe which causes centuries of hatred. Fast forward, Islam is founded and there medieval crusades in the area. That region is conquered by the Ottomans and people convert to Islam. Fast forward, WW1 happens and the Ottomans get their ass kicked. UK and France claim Ottoman territories. Riddler is ass made, uses the jews as a scape joke because of centuries of old hatred. WW2 happens, muh 6 gorrilian. Churchill and friends drunkenly draws borders and call it quits. The Allied high command knew about the death camps, but didn't do much about them. So to save faith they create the state of Israel and Jews from all over Europe and the USSR flock to the knew land. Because of Churchill's loving up the borders, the Arabs see this as threat to the sacred holy land and start several wars. This is also the cold war, a lot of those countries go the USSR for weapons. To compete with the USSR we give weapons to Israel. More wars happen. So here we are today with the latest Israeli-Palestinian drama.

I think it's more people arguing the significance of it. I don't care or am indifferent on the matter because I didn't experience it, I'm not trying to downplay how horrible the trail of tears must have been, but I'm not going to go crying about how people should recognize me for stuff my ANCESTORS went through. That's petty as forget in my opinion, and pretty low to stoop (looking at you, sjws that still bitch about slavery)

it's because the government of the USA made signed agreements with the native americans pertaining to land that were supposed to be honored, but were mostly ignored during that era.

[Harm94]

I think someone from the Reservation is more qualified to speak on the behalf of their people.
