Yeah, and it's pretty obvious which one that is. I mean, I know you're not so stupid as to be unaware of the connotations of Aunt Jemima character.
A win for the Central Bank and it's puppet Obama

That's why I apologized after realizing that there could have been certain connotations to this character. In all honesty I wasn't even remotely thinking about them when I started this thread.
It just came up as a depiction of what it might look like once the change is implemented. I guess I am naive and simplistic enough to enjoy this kind of graphic humor without putting any more thought into it.

This explanation seems way too convenient given your history for calling people out.

Like, why'd they put a geisha on the new Korean money they made a few years ago when they could have put a "founding father" on it instead?
Same ridiculous argument, really.
Same ridiculous argument, really.
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.

I am so outraged by this. You know Andrew Jackson was the only president to get us out from under Britians bankster boot? Only two more tried and both were assassinated after the banksters tried to cripple us in wars. That was the original Cold War slash trade sanctions economic warfare. Where do you think Reagan learnt it from? His British puppet masters.
RIP Lincoln, Jackson and JFK. You are the only 3 true USA presidents. The rest are all tyrannical scumbag puppets. America needs to wake up before it is too late.

My husband thinks they should have replaced Franklin since he wasn't even a president, I disagreed.

First Andrew Jackson wasn't a founding father. He wasn't elected president until 1829, that's 53 years after the declaration of independence. Second **** Andrew Jackson, he committed genocide. Not all that surprised you have a hard on for him. Third *hear*

First point, I should have been more specific. As he may not be a founding father strictly in time he did have the same thoughts in regards to how the money should be handled. Second point, I'm truly stricken (I just learned about the Indian Removal Act), but why the bitch comment to finish your point? Third, I'll give you that one "libertian".

1) That's a distorted view of history. Some of the FF were for a national bank some were opposed.
2) Because you keep posting borderline racist rants or Jewish conspiracy theories. If you post something backwards and brain dead you can expect people to be snarky.

So you're not a racist scumbag, you're just an ignorant fool. Check. Good thing you have Jazzfanz to set you straight.
Jamezz, you do realize the Federal Reserve has nothing to do with printing our currency? It's a department of the US Treasury.
On a side note, I find it shameful that the guy who nearly collapsed the United States all together out of his extreme paranoia issues is put on any status symbol for this country. If I had it my way, I'd replace nearly every president on a bill with the face of Ben Bernanke, Paul Krugman, and the likes. I also want Bernanke put on Mount Rushmore. He is a the greatest American since Abraham Lincoln.
The Federal Reserve System is the greatest democratic invention ever. It rivals the Bill of Rights, and Mr. Bernanke (and those giving economic input like Mr. Krugman) utilized it to perfection during the great recession.

I'm reasonably confident that this issue has become dog whistle fodder for those with, shall we say, retrograde attitudes about race.
Thus complaining about this is coded language for those wanting to express more explicit angst about race issues but who feel constrained by polite society from using the language they'd prefer to use and which more accurately and clearly explains their true sentiments.
This may or may not include Jamezz.

I'm a bit hesitant to jump aboard the genocide bandwagon here. In this sense, Jackson was a product of his times. While there were people at the time with more enlightened views on Indian affairs, they were probably relatively few and not in positions to affect policy. The overall treatment of Natives by the US government from colonization to the end of the Indian wars was shameful, but, in my reading of history, not unexpected, and most people were complicit in it.
Grant, for example, pursued a fairly punitive policy against the Natives. During the Revolutionary war, Washington dispatched General Sullivan to the NorthEast where he essentially did to the Iroquois what Sherman did to the South during the Civil War.
While I do think that the argument that we can't judge people in different historical epochs by our current standards is often a copout to excuse bad behavior, I do, however, think it has validity, as far as it goes.
I am disturbed by the push by some on the left to, essentially, erase all images and symbols of morally conflicted 'great' men and women, most of whom were as well products of their times. I'm not sure where the line is, but I do think that all of the 'genocide' rhetoric now popular about Jackson as probably crossed the line. He was far, far from unique and was much more the rule than the exception for people of his time.
