Harriet Tubman will be on the $20 bill-- $10 and $5 bills changing, too

[TheBlackParrot]

sounds like a sweet idea but i can see how this can go wrong in lots of ways

how would it go wrong? a $20 bill is still a $20 bill

Businesses will stop accepting $20 bills as it goes against their religious beliefs.

If someone doesn't accept the money I give them for a service then that's their problem and not anyone else's

i know you're joking but they're not allowed to do that

iirc "this currency will be used to pay all debts, private and public" would void that

Why her though? I know what she's done but I honestly think she doesn't really fit on the 20$ bill.

That's because the picture in the OP is a bad photoshop edit

What religious beliefs would those be? I seriously can't find a single thing she's done that would go against any reasonable or wide-held religious belief.

Black people are anti-Christian

You can look at the tenets of many fundamentalist groups and see how black people are cursed, manifestations of sin, and unworthy of God's love. Mormonism comes to mind in regards to that.

Also it was a joke so don't read too deeply into it.

[Kingdaro]

Eh. Cool, I guess.

Black people are anti-Christian

As a black person with black christian parents, can confirm.

man andrew jackson wasn't really a nice guy but he kept america together with two bullets in his body and props to that

[ultimamax]

I don't disagree with you that Andrew Jackson is a stuffty person. Believe me, I'm an enrolled Creek and my ancestors were some of the first to go on the Trail of Tears. I understand its impacts and that it was a terrible event.

It just seems really forced and white guilt-y to put Harriet Tubman on there. I'm in no way saying she is not admirable or deserving of respect, but the underground railroad was a system involving hundreds, if not thousands of people working together to coordinate the bringing of slaves to freedom. If we're going the "influential minorities" route, I'd imagine Sojourner Truth and  Red Cloud make two really good cases for being on currency.

She's probably not the best candidate but I don't think she's a bad candidate, and we agree that she's certainly better than Andrew Jackson.
