“It’s Time”—For Affirmative-Action Currency To Symbolize Affirmative-Action Post-America

“It’s time”–for a woman on American currency, and why not? America is no longer a nation of heroes, but a collection of victims. Now even the currency of the Affirmative Action Nation is catching up with the reality that today’s hollow empire is nothing the Founding Fathers would recognize.

A campaign to put a woman, any woman, on the $20 bill received new traction when Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) [who kicked <Scott Brown - Neocon> in the nuts last election] filed legislation for a “citizen’s panel” to recommend a replacement for the current bill’s celebration of President Andrew Jackson.

...

But neither Jordan nor Sanger made the final cut. The four candidates to replace Jackson on the $20 bill:

Eleanor Roosevelt

Roosevelt, like future President Hillary Clinton, is important chiefly because she married a powerful man and overlooked his infidelities. Her naïve (at best) globalism aside, her domestic policies would today be regarded as retrograde or perhaps even offensive because her old-fashioned liberalism would have little room for critical theory.

Rosa Parks

Rosa Parks, far from being the “tired old lady” of public school mythology, was a Leftist activist who served as the front person for a radical political agenda. The substantive results of this agenda can be seen in the shattered ruins of once-proud American cities like Birmingham, Selma, or Parks’ native Montgomery, where the Southern Poverty Law Center, housed in the notorious “Poverty Palace,” is one of the few thriving businesses. Parks herself moved to Detroit, another destroyed city–where she herself would eventually be robbed and beaten by a black man [Rosa Parks robbed and beaten, New York Times, August 30, 1994].

Wilma Mankiller

Like most people, you are probably wondering, “Who the heck is Wilma Mankiller?” Although she was no doubt really nominated because of her last name, Mankiller was the first female chief of the Cherokee Nation. Like most great minority leaders, she was half-white. Aside from creating some “programs” and being a woman, she was chiefly noted for expelling the black “Cherokee freedmen” from the tribe because they lacked Indian blood. [The Cherokee nation must be free to expel black freedmen, by James MacKay, The Guardian, September 17, 2011]

Harriet Tubman

Harriet Tubman was an escaped slave who guided other blacks north on the Underground Railroad. She was also an enthusiastic conspirator with John Brown, who referred to her as “General Tubman,” assisted in his plot to raid and murder Southern families, and referred to him as a martyr after his execution. [Harriet Tubman, Biography, Accessed April 19, 2015]

Let's face it, very few have any idea about what Jackson was well known for back when at this point. He was a huge fighter against the US having a central bank. Tho, those that know any mainstream revisionist history about him knows only that he was an Indian fighter to some extent. Thus, the former is why the jerkoffs on top want to severe him from our culture w/o most knowing anything about him. It's not like I detest any of these women for their roles in history but this just doesn't sit well - as none of them deserve to be the face of our currency...or do they at this point?

I always have liked redesign's on bills.  Normally it is for security reasons, and they add some features.

But I think it would be interesting to maybe have a bill that rotates on who's on it.  You could put it out for a year or so then switch.  With this you could honor many of history's great people.   Also would create a neat collection in my opinion having a rotating person.

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

As long as they retain their sense of humor on the back I don't give a damn who's on the front:




sig spam anywhere and self-moderated threads on the pol&soc board are for losers.

I rather like the idea of Rosa Parks. She's a great symbol of peaceful civil disobedience and standing up to injustice, which stands in stark contrast to Jackson's violent and forced relocation of thousands of indians.
