Rejecting words and actions which perpetrate, support or encourage white supremacists

What a way to frame this. There's no history of Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill to preserve. There is history of Andrew Jackson being on the $20 bill

I thought Confederate memorials were about the history of the Civil War not the memorials themselves.

the history being "he was on the bill for a number of years"?

You and Trump should get in a room with your alternative Andrew Jackson civil war histories.

i mean, it sort of is a non sequitur but it's not a bad question

What? Stop with the non-sequiturs and just answer my questions. You're being ridiculous.

What wrong with celebrating Harriet Tubman's place in history by putting her on the $20 bill?

Can somebody explain what Republicans have against Harriet Tubman? Why isn't she part of the history they want to preserve?

The Pubs of 50-100 years ago, sure. Today's Pubs, for most, I don't don't think so.

Harriet Tubman was a hero of the Civil War era. The Trump administration will likely roll back plans to put her on the $20. Republicans stand for memorials to people who fought for slavery but there is resistance to honoring Tubman for fighting slavery.

Is there any reason we can't have both on the $20? One press makes the Tubman bills, another makes the Jackson bills. Problem solved.

you know who should bed on the $20? delightful american comedian Paul Rudd:

So white money and black money?

Did you know that handsome but approachable everyman Paul Rudd went to high school with Jon Hamm?

Proud KC and Jayhawk man. Also beautiful.

This guy was a preacher and is a legend.

And his history is of being a bigot of the first order. Worse than having slaves was the way he treated his. He was even worse to Native Americans. Thousands died because of his evil.

But keep supporting him.

Yeah, of all the things to get outraged about I am surprised Andrew Jackson being on the 20 isn't top of the list. Dude was a serious scumbag.

To me that is way more offensive than some statue in Winston or wherever that people didn't even knew existed.

So white money and black money?

Yeah. Segregation of the $20.

For fuck's sake, Ph... I'm sure you'd happily take grant money in the form of any US currency, wouldn't you?

If Tubman $20s were the only ones being printed, it would still be a long time until the Jacksons go out of circulation. You wouldn't have to keep printing them to have them. You could even hoard the Jacksons if you want to celebrate Jackson's legacy.

I would march in the streets in support of this movement if we used this version of Paul Rudd:

How about this. When you are actually upset by our $20 note, send any you get my way and I'll keep them safe for you in my IRA. I'll put that son of a bitch Jackson to work.

It's called an analogy.
