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?

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.

Better her then Obama. There saving his face for Rushmore.
Looking forward to they add Mao face to our money. Rushmore? Honestly, I get the significance. But does anyone go there, other than retired white people in their RV's?

I guess you guys don't know this blacks and Hispanics don't like each other normally. Maybe that is why Zimmerman had the urge to follow him.
On the other hand I like everyone especially if they work cheap. Those minorities always fighting with each other. Why can't they just be peaceful like white people? yeah because there are more whites in prison than blacks.. more whites killing each other than blacks in the United States and London. It's funny how Chicago, New York and California which are cities where whites are the minority, and crime is very high. Isn't it very difficult to buy a gun in those cities and yet gun crime among other crime is soaring LOL ya must be white problem. Let's blame Trump lmao Oak are you a Communist or something? you showed me that you don't give 1 shit about the black racists and black gangs killing and stabbing white inmates (SOME not all) who are in for crimes like shoplifting, assault etc your posts in regard to race are largely anti-White and yet you're most likely white yourself lol lol

If your speaking overall than Whites are a large plurality of the prison system and little over half of federal prison. 2. California is a state not city. Whites aren't the minority in Chicago nor NYC but pluralities. 3. Whites kill each other at the same volume as Blacks and some years more than Blacks. That's just a discussion that get dodge around alot. I don't know why.
