I wont go so far as to say hating white people but it certainly screams political agenda with no basis in fact. It is NOT about race. Most people can't & won't & don't want to.. Think outside of the box. Poor bastards.... You can't handle the truth! (Jack Nicholson): http://youtu.be/MMzd40i8TfA/

I've seen some more of the more extreme anti-Jackson propaganda lately and I think its unfortunate, but I'm still very happy to have Tubman on our money. Extremist anti-racists are out there every day lying about the degree of 'oppression' they all experience in 21st century USA. (Oh no! Micro-aggressions! Safe spaces!) Some of these anti-racists are furious that mainstream culture is 'throwing them a bone' (so they think) in the form of Tubman on the bill. The reality is that mainstream culture just is not as racist as they think it is. I'm stoked that we've had a black president, and that even though black people make up less than 1/5 of the population and many are born in poverty, we have so many wealthy and powerful black people in the US. Every decade we move towards a less racist society, but some of these anti-racists would rather sow hatred and spread lies than be a part of the solution. Being inclusive at every reasonable opportunity should take some of the wind of their hate-filled sails.

maybe put Prince on it and make it a $19.99 dollar bill The way the media has been going on and on about him since he died, you'd think he should be on the $100 bill....

Every decade we move towards a less racist society, but some of these anti-racists would rather sow hatred and spread lies than be a part of the solution. The truly funny part is how little people know about their own history, its the aristocracies that started all this crap in the first place with their heredity laws and the way they handled debt. We ALL are still slaves today, on many levels, gvmnt imposed little does anyone realize. I have to laugh when thinking about 1984, a novel that is now SOP manual of the western world at large. Whites Were the First Slaves in America 26 Sunday May 2013 America, American Civil War, Atlantic slave trade, Confederate States of America, Indentured servant, Virginia, White, White Slaves The enslavement of Whites extended throughout the American colonies and White slave labor was a crucial factor in the economic development of the colonies. Gradually it developed into a fixed system every bit as rigid and codified as negro slavery was to become. In fact, negro slavery was efficiently established in colonial America because Black slaves were governed, organized and controlled by the structures and organization that were first used to enslave and control Whites. Black slaves were “late corners fitted into a system already developed.” (Ulrich B. Phillips, Life and Labor in the Old South, pp. 25-26). White slavery was the historic base upon which negro slavery was constructed. “…the important structures, labor ideologies and social relations necessary for slavery already had been established within indentured servitude… white servitude… in many ways came remarkably close to the ‘ideal type’ of chattel slavery which later became associated with the African experience” (Hilary McD. Beckles, White Servitude, pp. 6-7 and 71). “The practice developed and tolerated in the kidnapping of Whites laid the foundation for the kidnapping of Negroes.” (Eric Williams, From Columbus to Castro, p. 103). The official papers of the White slave trade refer to adult White slaves as “freight” and White child slaves were termed “half-freight.” Like any other commodity on the shipping inventories, White human beings were seen strictly in terms of market economics by merchants. The American colonies prospered through the use of White slaves which Virginia planter John Pory delcared in 1619 were “our principall wealth.” https://thegeneralreport.wordpress.com/2013/05/26/whites-were-the-first-slaves-in-america/ They freed no one, only changed the definitions around and enslaved everyone. [to themselves] Proof? Dont pay your taxes which pays for the national debt, a debt you had no right to vote on, no say in creating see what happens to you. The gvmnt never gives anything up once they have it, they merely paint a new smiley face on it while creating a new more stealthy way of achieving the same purpose. Which of course people get to fight over for the following 100 years only to repeat the cycle ad infinitum.
