Harriet Tubman to replace Andrew Jackson on the front of the $20

[~primetime~]

The announcement is expected to come later Wednesday from Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, who will also reveal that a montage of leaders from the women's suffrage movement will be added to the back of the $10. A Treasury official confirmed to CNN that Tubman's portrait will appear on the $20.

The redesigned $10 bill is expected to enter circulation by 2020, though it's unclear what the $20's time frame is.

The women pictured on the back of the $10 will be the first to appear on U.S. paper currency in more than 100 years.

So my best guess is the new $20 bills will be worth about $10 :lol

[Doomsday Dallas]

Saw this earlier and thought it was a joke...

Can't believe it's true.

Yea, the irony here is that money is slavery.

[senelcoolidge]

I have absolutely nothing against Harriet Tubman whatsoever. Blacks today should look to her example and not rely on the government. But why now? It reeks of racist pc social justice.

[Doomsday Dallas]

Actually... I'm a little upset about this.

What's wrong with MLK?

[Nick Young]

WTF:facepalm :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

If they want a black person so badly, why not Dr. Martin Luther King Jr or George Washington Carver the genius botanist?

Do the people putting suffragettes on the back of the design understand that the original American suffragettes were racists who hated black people?

Her famous quotes


Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.
I freed a thousand slaves I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves.
I grew up like a neglected weed - ignorant of liberty, having no experience of it.

[Megabox!]

:rockon: :dancin

[Nick Young]

At the same time, Harriet Tubman does embody the American dream. She came from nothing and made herself in to something through sheer will and determination and saved thousands of lives in the process. She's the original Oprah.

She's a better American than Andrew Jackson IMO.

The racist suffragettes on the back though-can't say I support this.

black woman gets chosen over a black man ..

black man takes yet another L

[Jailblazers7]

Why was Jackson even on a bill in the first place? Dude was a psycho and there were plenty of other presidents to choose from

[Thorpesaurous]

I actually remember reading about this last year. IIRC, it's in honor of some anniversary of the women's suffrage movement. There were a bunch of women being considered, and they were put in a public poll somewhere. The weird thing was that Tubman didn't actually win the poll if my memory serves. I vaguely recall her being a close second to Eleanor Roosevelt. But even then they had announced Tubman as being the choice.

There were no men being considered.

And I believe the change is a limited time run.

Not to mention he took on and destroyed the national bank that now honours him :oldlol:.

Though it is laughable that someone like Tubman should be on such a widely used bill, while the likes of James Madison is languishing on the $5000, and Thomas Jefferson on the $2.

Clearly more pc bullshit. Nothing to do with merit, everything to do with sex and skin-colour; it actually bespeaks a mentality of racist thinking, disguised behind a veil of supposedly good intentions.

I would agree that Jefferson and Madison are both much more deserving.

Jackson's history of killing the bank is incredible. Changed the course of the nation for many years. He also nearly gets assassinated for it and then goes and beats the guy who tried to kill him with his cane. Alpha savage :oldlol:

Nothing against Tubman, but these men mentioned above have achievements that will never be replicated in magnitude.

Orange as fck

this is when we had gold/silver backing up the money

[Duderonomy]

Wrong again. :facepalm Jackson was the Bill Russell of Presidents

He did the following

-Lead the way so that all Americans can vote, and not only landowners
- Still the only President in history to pay off the national debt
- Defeated the Banking cartels
- Led the victory in the War of 1812

- Almost beat his assassin to death with his cane, the crowd around him had to pull Jackson off of the assassin

- Once, Jackson was ordered to remove some Indians from some land in Florida..... and instead, Jackson simply attacked Florida and defeated the Spanish garrison and handed it over to the US Government.


Another nickname of Jackson was, "Old Hickory"..... a nickname given to him by the soldiers under Jackson's command, because Jackson was as tough as hickory.

Jackson was an amazing American.


Ironically enough he was strongly against central banking.

[Nick Young]

I've seen enough. What a time to be alive :rockon:

At least put some iconic figures people have even heard of.

Whereas you are doing... what exactly?

Mocking people over the internetz for questioning the frivolous alteration of a well-established tradition which serves no prupose, accomplishes nothing, and is clearly an ideologically driven measure? (i.e. the work of fanatics)

Looks like you arrogantly assume you're always 'fighting the good fight'--which, in basic terms, means forcing your politco-religious beliefs down the throats of other people, regardless of the costs, and then calling anyone who dares to question them an idiot or bigot or whatever (heretic).

Fanatics gonna fanatic :hammerhead: .

The funny thing about the orthodox, is that they don't even realise that's what they are: they usually assume themselves to be rebels, so end up trying to swim with and against the tide. The truth is that orthodoxy changes, but human nature doesn't; so people take up rather orthodox opinions thinking them rebellious because they're incongruent with the orthodoxies of the past, which is of course what they're rebelling against (they don't call us the ahistorical age for nuttin); and you truly are the epitomisation of the orthodoxy of the modern West; you're basically a conventional wisdom robot, at war with the past, hating everything that made him what he is.

"oh, how evil of you to want to deport Mexicans, and what about my cheap blueberries goddamit, you goddam racist...****ing redneck hicks need to die...science says more equality is better for everyone...you're an evil ignorant racist if you think otherwise; have some goddam compassion for the poor...but **** American workers...I don't want $10 blueberries, or have to look after my kids when i find someone willing to have them with me, or not have a cheap cleaner, and be able to eat out 3-4 days a week...**** you, you uncompassionate and unscientific asshole!!!"

"education and money solves all problems!"

That is your entire mentality in a nutshell. It's the mentality of a hypocrite and a conceited fool.

Almost none of those are Federal Reserve notes btw. Only Cleveland and Jackson have been on the 20 since it started printing them. The only other major note to have a change was the 10, which changed from Jackson to Hamilton.

None of the notes have been changed since 1928, and most haven't been changed since the establishment of the Federal Reserve in 1914. Googling old notes is not relevant to the discussion at hand--you gonna get some of the old Continentals up on google images now and pretend that's the same thing too?

Jackson was definitely a remarkable character, though he had an incredibly volatile temperament. Man fought something like 10 duels in his time, and was said to be filled with so much lead as a result that you could hear him rattling as he walked by.

Who gives a shit? Evidently you do. Why is it so difficult for you to realise that if you want to change something, then it is you who has to give a sensible reason as to why that thing should be changed? You can't just support the wholesale change of something, and then accuse everyone who disagrees with you of caring about something trivial and unimportant. The people who are changing it are evidently the ones who care the most, and who have an agenda to pursue, and who have to provide a valid reason and justification for their actions.

As far as I can see, the only reason you, or the other pc cheerleaders on this site can give for changing the $20 bill is that it will upset the people you don't like. About 5 people have said exactly that, and provided no other justification; that is the definition of sadism, and it's disgusting how you, and others like you, need to sadistically goad other people just because they don't share your political opinions. There's no doubt in my mind that you clowns, if you were ever landed with a large amount of power, would ship all the "evil reactionaries" off to camps so you can watch them suffer, while sipping champagne brought to you by your Mexican servant, in this all-wonderful, borderless world, without national identities, without history, without purpose, and without meaning.

But yeah, keep fighting the "fight" of studying plant life--what a career, what a purpose :oldlol:.

Dresta removed it from the quote.
Did you not read my post or something? I explicitly said the $20 bill has been changed once in the Federal Reserve era, and that was in 1928, from Cleveland to Jackson; and it matters because it clearly makes a difference if one central bank is issuing the notes rather than a bunch of them.

Now the central bank is making political statements and trying to curry favour by doing so. These clowns ought to stick to their prerogative, but they become more and more politicised by the day. This is a problem for an institution which is supposedly "independent" and whose whole value comes from being independent (something it has long ceased to be anyway, this is just the icing on the cake).

Idk being on the 5k is pretty bad ass. I wish we still printed those. I'd probably say Eisenhower should be on a bill. War hero and a badass president.

I saw Duedronomy listed Jacksons accomplishments which is nice but the guy was still an incorrigible dickhead.

You don't reward someone just because they had an unfortunate circumstance, you reward them when they're willing to risk torture and death to save others.
