Harriet Tubman Will Replace Andrew Jackson on the $20

[Aglaopheme]

It would be more like $12.00 because she's a black woman.

 

[nerfhearder]

But it isn't now. Hamilton and Franklin were never president.

Interesting. She figured prominently in my elementary school history course, way back in the mid-60s.

Mine too. Read a book, watched a movie or two. And not just one grade. I remember her coming up several times over the years. Still sort of a minor figure but I'm surprised people don't know her.

See, I was gonna say something like that but figured I'd catch too much shit for it.

I was merely opining.

I was probably absent from school that day.

Fuck that was Jefferson. Stupid J's ruined my joke. Never freaking mind.

Congrats, you earned it.

Mostly cus I've been waiting to use that for a while.

I don't think HT would be impressed, this is a new low in stupid, political ideas.

How so?

Going to be interesting to see how long this misbegotten idea lasts. As long as the SBA or Saca?

Ishmael

Probably infinitely longer. The problem with the SBA (don't they still make those just in limited amounts?) and the Sacajawea were they were to similar in size and texture to quarters making it tough to tell them apart in your pocket for the SBA and annoying for some machines with the Saca. This is a bill, you have to look at them to tell them apart to begin with. I imagine most people who are capable of earning twenty bucks can see the 20 in the corners and discern readily the bill. Additionally with how frequently the bills are altered to prevent counterfeiting it's not like the 20 from 2000 looks much like the 20 from 2010. Bigger picture, then color so atleast two designs in that gap maybe more that I'm forgetting offhand.

Why? It's a fact that the pay gap is larger for African American women than it is for white women.

Miles will be along shortly to inform you that that is categorically unpossible.

Because people are stupid.

Excellent. I've not had my fill of morons today.

Because people are stupid.

I was going to ask you if you knew that was the case or not. I'll keep to myself which way I was leaning.

Damnit.

You could have been leaning towards people not being stupid? That's just a little naive aint it?

 

[doubleover]

They should put Tubman where she belongs.

On the EBT card.

Case in point.

That's not at all what I meant.

 

[LadyVer]

I'm wondering what it would be like if this situation were reversed. For hundreds of years, only women have been on paper money, and then for some weird reason, it's decided that men should be put on the $20. Who would be the finalists? Who would be the remaining finalist? And then come the women discussing the merits of which man was chosen.

Then me knowing people are stupid. I figured that out a while back. Been a good 10 years at least.

 

[Aglaopheme]

Oh Lordy.....

Cite? Last I heard African American women actually do really well. Though that might be by comparison to African American men specifically not to white males.

Literally unfathomable as it requires a complete rewriting of all of known history. You may as well ask what if Native American colonized Europe with Aborigine Slaves what would World War II have been over.

No way does any woman give up anything to a man, especially if said women are already in power. Simply wouldn't happen.

I'm an old, racist alt used by one of the chickenshit regulars.

We know.

Oh Lordy.....

Another thing I learned a long time ago was that I can't read minds.

Of course it will. LJ has it worked out.

Step 1: Deny women Vitamin D
Step 2: Women die without children
Step 3: ? ? ? ? ?
Step 4: World Domination

It's easy. First get a gun, press it to the skull containing said mind. Pull the trigger. Then check the splatter. It's really no different from casting bones or reading intestines.

Or in a pinch there is a 98.42% chance that mind was thinking "Ohshitohshitohshit."
