So here me out, almost 100 years later (since 1928) they decide to remove Andrew Jackson's face from the $20 bill and replace it with Aunt Jemima's. Jokes aside I'm sure that Harriet Tubman's influence in the abolitionist movement was remarkable but come on, taking out Andrew Jackson? One of the most influential Founding Fathers of this country, one of the few presidents who had the "cojones" to stand up against the British royal family run Central Bank? Suck a duck Obama, you puppet for Your Travesty the B of England.

If you are going to present what is happening to the money you should be thorough.

Tubman is going on the front of the 20, Jackson is being moved to the back of the 20 (he's not even off the 20 entirely) along side the White House.

Further more the back of the $10 bill is changing from the Treasury building to an image of a women's suffrage march that ended at said building. 5 prominent women members of that movement will be displayed along side the image. (Lucretia Mott, Sojourner Truth, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Alice Paul and Susan B Anthony).

The back of the $5 is also changing. The Lincoln Memorial will now be the back drop for the 1939 performance of Marian Anderson.

I have no problem with these changes tbh. I don't think our money and its look was a problem but the change doesn't bother me. The only thing I'd have done differents is that back of the $20, 10 or 5 would be changed to a historical American moment. Moon landing, D-Day, Pearl Harbor, Louisiana purchase...something. I'd probably change the back of the $1 with that.

Even being thorough I find it a stupid initiative, as if there aren't any other more important issues at hand...

Fair enough but your initial post gives it far harsher treatment than simply being "stupid".

It's kinda like facebook. You know, when someone you don't like does the smallest perceived thing "wrong", you post all about it from your favorite biased news source. If you see a shot, you jump on it.

Jboogie here, as a biggoted racialist, saw a shot and took it. Don't act surprised.
 
You realize the treasury changes the money like every 10 years to curb counterfeiting?

Please expand on your accusation.
 
^ No I don't plan on doing that a-hole. You can't just throw accusations like that based on nothing.

I was aware of the less obvious things like those that you mentioned. I wasn't so sure about something as evident as changing the person who features on the bill.
 
It may not be racist (or it might be) but calling a great American hero like Harriet Tubman "Aunt Jemima" is ****ing repugnant and a disgrace. If you had any decency you'd edit your post.

Getting butt hurt about replacing a white man with a black woman on a $20 is more than enough evidence for internet.

She could be martian for what I care. You my friend are the first to bring up the racial component in this discussion, then you try to play innocent.

Look, if I offended anyone with the aunt Jemima comment I apologize, I don't find it that big of a deal and in no way I had any racialist thoughts in mind when I made such comment in the heat of the moment.
It was more about removing a figure that I admire from part of the bill than anything else.

I have to disagree. When you called her "aunt jemima" (you meant it as a joke) you brought the racial element into it. Roach merely commented on it.

My question is why would this give you a "heat of the moment" moment?

* = Can not confirm.
** = "Aunt Jemima" says otherwise
*** = No one thinks I'm Innocent, myself included.

That's your perception, I have a different one. I just saw it as a reasonable lookalike. I don't think Betty Crocker for instance would have been as fitting. Let's not all get too jumpy here.

Heat of the moment because I admit that I thought at first that it was removing Jackson entirely from the bill. And I think that featuring the Founding Fathers on the american bills is just fine. No need to stir that pot.

I don't have a problem with the change and I don't have a problem with the bolded.

Two points though:

1. Not all people on the bills are founding fathers. For example; Grant.

2. I still don't see why that gives you a "heat of the moment". To me that means at least a moderately intense emotional reaction.

As for the joke, the overall perception, I'm willing to bet, is that there is a clear racial tone to your joke. That will offend some and not others. I am not offended but I can still see it.

And with that I am done talking abot the racial joke. The money topic was much more interesting.
