Harriet Tubman? Nigga, that's one UGLY $20 bill

I apologize in advance.

BUT my initial reaction is: Do you want somebody THAT UGLY on a $20 bill?

HEY, I have to USE that fucking bill. Why don't you tuck that bitch on a $50? Or a $100? I do NOT want to see HARRIET FUCKING TUBMAN on my $20 bill.

They're gonna have to do some fancy re-touching to make Tubman look good.

She's uglier than Eleanor Roosevelt. She's in the top right of this picture.

Some countries, the same fucking twat is on everything. She's on the coins. She's on the postage stamps.

In America, there seem to be a half-dozen new commemorative stamps every fucking month. Aside from Washington (dollar bills and quarters) and Lincoln (fiver and the penny) it's usually some different dead president or historical figure on the coins and paper money. Not that most Millennials could tell you who they are. On a segment of Jimmy Kimmel's late night show, he interviewed idiots in the street, offering prizes IF they could name who was on the currency. Most couldn't make it from penny to nickel to dime to quarter (Lincoln, Jefferson, Roosevelt, Washington).

ANYWAY, NOW what? Gotta have a BLACK WOMAN on the twenty?

Really, this is becoming a very bad and boring joke. It's enabling a lot of lazy grumpy niggas to a sense of entitlement.

This politically correct shit began a few years ago. SOMEBODY said get WHITEY off the $10.

Changes to American currency happen, but usually for a good reason. JFK got his brains blown out: so they replaced Ben Franklin on the half-dollar (aka the 50 cent piece) with him. When the dollar coin was resurrected (coin machines unable to deal with easy-to-copy dollar bills) Susan B. Anthony was chosen. Later the coin was redesigned and re-colored and a new face, Sacagawea was put on on it...an obscure Native American twat. It still flopped.

As soon as it was announced that wussy America would have to honor somebody BLACK AND FEMALE on paper currency, the question was...WHO. Now we know. HARRIET TUBMAN.

IF I'M BEING HONEST, the first time I heard of her, was through the evocative Smokey Robinson song. She was not major enough to be in the history books. OK, she helped slaves via the "underground railroad" get from the redneck South to the wonderful North. So?

America is already paying a huge price for those few decades of slavery. Its reputation around the world is as much "they were mean to blacks" as Germany was "mean to Jews." Except Jews were outright exterminated and were hounded from ALL of Germany. The blacks were made slaves in only a portion of America and the rest of America was willing to go to war to stop it. But does anyone remember that? No. It's "America is racist. What an awful country. They should give the blacks all the welfare they want."

So, great, here's Tubman's face bugging out from the $20 reminding everyone that there was slavery for a few decades in a stupid part of the country. That goes a long way toward healing. NOT AT ALL.

An irony here is that Alexander Hamilton was saved by...blacks. The "hip hop" musical about Hamilton mentions that Alex was a founding father who was against slavery. So instead of Hamilton on the $10, the government went after Andrew Jackson on the $20.

Jackson? He owned slaves. The prick. Who is going to stand up for Andrew Jackson? NOBODY likes Andrew Jackson except some people down in New Orleans, I guess. They remember it was "Old Hickory" who fought "the bloody British" during the 1812 war. Or, "the bloomin' British" depending on what version of the "Battle of New Orleans" you own.

Andrew Jackson is not "Stonewall" Jackson, the confederate general. But these days, who cares. Fuck him.

I really don't think any country is well served when everything comes down to appeasing one ethnic group, whether it's Muslims in Great Britain or blacks in America. Doesn't it tend to make that group snottier? More self-entitled? More spoiled and demanding?

There are plenty of great Americans who aren't on currency like Thomas Edison. Inventing electric light, recordings, movies...is nothing compared to helping some slaves get from the South to the North. Too bad Thomas. Nope. All anyone cares about is paying out-of-proportion homage to somebody because she's BLACK and has a TWAT.

Store scene:

"I'd like to buy that camera." "OK, it'll cost you five Tubmans." "Thanks. Here you go." "Wait a minute, you're WHITE. Were your ancestors slave owners?" "Huh?" "Nevermind...white people get waited on all the time. They've been first for centuries. Instead, I'm waiting on THIS BLACK WOMAN..." "Hey...about that camera..." "Sorry, this is the 21st Century where everyone's equal. NOT A LOT!"
