Didn’t click this thread at first, assuming it was a new Tyler Perry’s movie
But when it was announced months ago, new media was created for it!

50 million in 50
20 million in Tubmens? Tubsies?
Black man becomes rich and successful without playing the victim and he’s a coon and uncle tom. Leroy sells dope to his people and get’s shoot by a cop and negroes will riot for him. Stay free black community.
I dont think people are calling him a coon/uncle tom for his success… its for his views about the proposed tubman $20 bill.
Wrong, you ninny.
Carson gets shatted on because of **what **he says… mofo was already out of his depth trying to run for president, with his sleepy-ass.
Doesn’t matter who you are, if you open your mouth to say something dumb, people are gonna (usually rightfully) thump you upside the head.
Andrew Jackson was a way better president. I don’t get it.
Can’t wait to see all the conflict that comes out of this once they’re in circulation.
This is just the first change isn’t it? I thought the treasury department is contemplating changing all paper currency (only one that is supposedly safe right now is Hamilton)
(Yes, @Plaid_Unicorn. PBS Newshour said that the Treasury was contemplating eventually changing all the other paper currency save for maybe $1, but that aside from the changing front of the $20, the only thing that the Treasury had decided upon currently was changing the backs of bills of add civil rights pioneers to them like MJK Jr. or, I think, Susan B. Anthony.)
Anyway, I’m mostly posting in here so that I repost what Dangerous J posted in the lounge in the more appropriate thread:
Besides that, there’s only other thing I wish to comment on at present:
What’s so confusing about it (other than the way you worded that first sentence, given neither Hamilton nor Tubman were president)? Andrew Jackson has always been a greatly divisive figure, largely due to what an immensely spiteful asshole of a person he was, to the point that people who otherwise might not care about stuff like this (or, unfortunately, history in general) are probably overjoyed they’re no longer going to have to see that asshole’s face on the $20. Replacing someone who was actively pro-slavery with one of the abolitionist movement’s greatest figures is just icing on the cake really, especially since the Treasury obviously wanted to do “kill two birds with one stone” by putting someone who was both black and female on the front of a bill rather than one or the other in useful “two-fer” for the crowds who care about that.
I’ll always blame his (most likely) jewish manger for this one. Hunk Of Burnin’ Love is innocent on this one.
Edit:
Didn’t realize this was in the planning for so long. I disagree with the article btw, seeing as how kids always ask about the persons on the bills, so if anything, more conversation will come from it.
Hamilton was never president, true, but Andrew Jackson sure was! (For some reason you read Jackson and thought Hamilton)
Anyways, it was a joke on people’s ignorance since presidents are often on currency, but not person on US currency has been president.
Still wish they had chosen MLK for 20’s.
If Harriet came from the Tubmans, does this make her a Tubgirl?
No, tubgirls are her followers/fans. They have a website, but I can’t remember the URL
I’ve always thought it was strange that Jackson was on the 20 dollar anyway since he destroyed the central bank. It almost seemed like a fuck you to put him on a currency he never believed in.
That adulterer and plagarist? NO SIR!! Only cads and deviants of the white persuasion.
If they went with this design I’d ask for all 20’s at the bank.
Lol that face is why so serious like Imma be looking at my 20s and she’s like nonono
“This is some white nonsense.”
(They probably would have used MJK, Jr. if they weren’t obviously going for a “two-fer” Token Minority hyper combo finish.)
After all, some people wanted a woman on the front. Other people wanted a black or at least non-white guy on the front. So why not compromise and ensure no one is happy?
Regardless, I’m still vaguely glad that Hamilton didn’t get replaced, even ignoring what asshole Jackson was, though I do have to wonder how much the runaway success of that recent play Hamilton played into the decision not to replace Hamilton. [/Hamilton]
I see. That’s what I get for being over-serious though. I definitely can see people making “that point”.
For the record, however, I didn’t misread Jackson as Hamilton there. I mentioned Hamilton (and Tubman) because of the way you ended that sentence by leaving whom you were comparing Jackson to (apparently deliberately) ambiguous since you said “way better president”. Way better president than whom? That’s what I was sniping at when I said that your sentence was “so confusing”.
Who cares? I haven’t used cash in like a zillion years.
But uh…good for black people…I guess? Probably would’ve meant more if it was done 20 or 30 years ago.
