    It's going to be ugly. I mean if you can get away with all kinds of shit in a message board or on Twitter imagine the shit people will put on money knowing it's going to be passed around more than a Karadashian at an LA County Jail conjugal visit.

    Gotta be honest abbott, I don't think all that many people walk around all day dreaming up ways to deface currency with black people on it.

    Have you ever read FB messages? Comment sections following newspaper article? People will bring up race and bigotry and prejudice at every opportunity. This will be yyyyuuuuuuuge. Americans are the best racists, Evah.

    Americans had the good sense to call out concentration camps, Reservations. As a Jewish person, I would rarely discount the depth that is German anti-Semitism. But given the treatment of American Indians, blacks in America, pre-civil war and post civil war, The Klan, Japanese Interment Camps, and every immigrant group since the Puritans, no one beats American racism.

    Except for Indians by virtue of reservations and blacks, most immigrant groups and Judeo-Christian religions find acceptance in America after a period time. No one does assimilation better than Americans.

    Meanwhile, Ben "Carry the Trump Water" Carson lamented that Jackson might be kicked off the $20 and recommended Tubman be allocated to the seldom used $2 bill. That guy's a gift.

    They did. It was called "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson" and was on Broadway a few years ago. I liked it, but it didn't last too long.

    That's exactly what they're doing!

    Tubman gets the front, Jackson gets the back of the bill.

    It is time for Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln to stop double dipping. You can be on a bill or coin, but it shouldn't be both.
