I was one of those who contacted the United States Treasury to leave Hamilton alone and get rid of Jackson, and I also supported Harriet Tubman as his replacement. Jackson, the founder of the modern Democratic Party, was known as a slaver, a racist, a warmonger and a general bully who was responsible for the Trail of Tears that forced Native Americans to march from the southeast United States to what is now Oklahoma, causing about 10,000 Native deaths. Harriet Tubman, on the other hand, was an escaped slave who saved the lives of over a hundred slaves by risking her own and despite a lifelong injury from a beating; she was an abolitionist and encouraged President Abraham Lincoln to abolish slavery; worked as a cook and a nurse for the Union Army during the Civil War; pushed for the right for women to vote; and was a Christian active in the AME church. If anyone deserves to be on the $20 bill, it's her.

We don't need to start changing our money to make lame political statements, which all this is. In addition to what I said above about some eventually pushing for some gay or transgender on a bill, how long before people want Washington or Jefferson off bills and coins because they owned slaves? It's stupid all the way around. All changes to our money have been political statements. Always has been. Before we had Lincoln on our pennies we had Native Americans. Before Jefferson was on our nickels we had buffaloes. Before Franklin Roosevelt was on our dimes it was lady liberty. It's a normal process and it's not new. But are these changes really necessary? Virtually nobody was asking for them. And, as I said, where will it end?
Mods should mind their own business and leave poster's profile signatures alone.

I hear they're going to put Trayvon Martin's face on bags of Skittles starting in June. Trayvon Martin really was a victim. He was just walking and was followed by a nobody with a gun because he was black. I know this for a lot of reasons. What happen to Martin happen to me when I was a kid and I am not black. Martin saw the guy following him and got pissed. So they probably exchanged words and got into a fight. Martin pushed the nobody down his head hit the curb. Martin was not going to kill him. But the nobody was losing, and he had a gun. I can tell you this from experience as well you got a gun and your getting hurt you will use your gun. That is how Trayvon got dead. After the cops came and saw that the nobodies face was all fucked up. They assumed that the nobody was fighting for his life. Bull shit they also found the back of his head cut. Get hit in the back of your head hard your face and eyes go black. Later when they checked out the nobody's face they found no actually damage to his face. But they got pictures of his face right after. You can believe that or not. I am pretty sure how that went down that night.

So if someone is following you that gives you justification to attack them, knock them to the ground and start smashing their head into concrete ?
Sorry bud, real life isn't Grand Theft Auto, doing things like that will likely get you shot or arrested. His head hit the concrete by accident. But you never had that happen to you too bad.
