I want to see Ms. Harriet Tubman on that bill! She was truly an amazing woman.
What a lovely gesture to improve the status of blacks.
@European American its undeniable that she is an integral part of American history. Many people that have been set aside need to be considered. This shouldn’t be a contest.
You know nothing about African American history if you want her on the $20 bill
@European American yea that Mic Geronimo album was 🔥
yawn….. you have probably just learnt about her.
you’re so woke now
I really don’t understand why changing your bills is such a big deal. I’m Canadian we change our bills every few years as part of our anti counterfeit measures plus it lets us feature different parts of our history and culture.
Trump main support is from white men, and white nationalist that are racist and a lot of overtly racists people that would damage his support to put a black woman on $20 bill!
kombijr that was probably the most delusional thing I’ve heard all week 😂
andrew winkenwerder delusional how? I’m breathing, working, enjoying my life. Couldn’t say the same for people in other countries.
kombijr can’t say the same for a lot of people in your country never mind other countries. How many years did it take to get Flint Michigan water again?
@A Koehler I’m Canadian and you’re correct. Liberals here are dumber then yours.
“Tell me what has become of my rights
Am I invisible because you ignore me?
Your proclamation promised me free liberty, now
I’m tired of bein’ the victim of shame
They’re throwing me in a class with a bad name
I can’t believe this is the land from which I came
You know I do really hate to say it
The government don’t want to see
But if Roosevelt was livin’
He wouldn’t let this be, no, no
Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Situation, speculation
Everybody litigation
Beat me, bash me
You can never trash me
Hit me, kick me
You can never get me
All I want to say is that
They don’t really care about us
All I want to say is that
They don’t really care about us
Some things in life they just don’t want to see
But if Martin Luther was livin’
He wouldn’t let this be, no, no”
notice 2 names inthe lyrics?…… this is why they turned on him
get WQKE
Love this song 💕
All I wanna say is that they don’t really care about us!
I can’t help whenever I see Mnuchin to see Stephen Colbert’s impression of Mnuchin! 🤣
Try John Oliver 🙂
Shawn Corbin The racist is taking a ‘leave of absence’ and waiting for this to blow over.
@T. R. Campbell Just for curiosity, when did he do the skit?
@Evert Vandenberghe I love John Oliver!
The left is like watching Clueless Part Duex, the remake of the reboot, directors cut
This cnn lady is very pretty and I love her story telling we need more please I need her name ….
Laura Coates ☝️
I agree!! She needs her OWN show … she’s very well spoken and straight to the point
She is a beautiful Queen 👑
Simple: Trump thinks Harriet was a thug….He thinks Jackson was a “fine” person.
@slactweak
HAS ANYONE REALLY BEEN OFFENDED FOR THE LAST 60 YEARS THAT THEY COULDN’T STAND TO WALK BY OR DRIVE BY A MONUMENT WITHOUT BECOMING ILL OR WANTING TO REMOVE IT BECAUSE IT WAS UPSETTING THEM? I HAVEN’T HEARD ANYONE ON THE NEWS EVER COMPLAIN ABOUT THEM.
WHY NOW?
WHERE HAVE ALL THESE PEOPLE BEEN OVER THE YEARS THAT ARE OFFENDED WITH AUNT JEMIMA AND UNCLE BEN? SERIOUSLY?
BLM is a trained Marxists group. Check their donation page. The money goes to the Democrats campaign fund.
DEMOCRATS = COMMUNISM
RESEARCH THE NEW WORLD ORDER.
I cant believe people believe anything the left media says
Watch Angela Stanton on The breakfast club maybe you learn something!
Damn that’s a stupid comment. Guess what idiot; Harriet was a REPUBLICAN. a CHRISTIAN, and she carried guns. She hated her Democrat slave masters
@Titus Matthews Freedom from Democrat slave owners. All of the first African Americans elected to the House and the Senate etc were Republicans.
Why would you put HT on the reverse side of the bill to AJ? Take AJ off altogether.
@Brett M why is it that no one questions the reparations for the Jewish people (they got Israel… cough… Palestine) and it’s not enough for them. But blacks were enslaved for 400 years and YOU’RE the one that’s angry? Let’s take away your culture and see how it affects you
@Brett M Why is you channel deleteing any comment that disagrees as fast as they are posted ?
@Verdi’s 23rd Opera Un Ballo in Maschera Opera Fiat money creates Modern Economies.
Brett is just mad people are coming for that racist and worthless piece of paper 😂😂😂 it’s more likely that the change will happen when Trump loses. let’s see 🤷🏾♂️
@Karl Young THANK YOU. Finally someone else sees the significant difference. The Holocaust was horrible, but a decade of death barely holds a candle to 400 years of oppression.
Put her on one side and an native America on the other side. People who actually built America with their Bear hands.
@RellyR510 She’s one of the greatest Americans if you are talking too thousand or so. That isn’t great enough to be on money.
@Thomas Johnson No. Mostly Americans.
yup Americans voted for HARRIET. Plus 2020 is the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower settler ship of pilgrims crashing here into thousand Native Nations whose homeland was negatively impacted.
@Mick E Mostly Americans with European ancestry.
EileenMc
Wahhhhhh!!!! 😭
You need to hide in your safe space for the next 4 years you soy boy
1:30 dam right its their land so everyone else is an immigrant
Nope. The land is owned by American settlers either purchased it through war. That’s life. Deal with it
No doubt about the fact that the white man’s heritage is his exploits and oppression over other humans underscored by slavery.
If the West are so bad, why does slavery still exist in Africa and the Middle East? do explain? 🤣 you have no come back to facts!

@Goochrider
G’day,
OK, here goes…
12,300 years ago in Gobekli Tepe, Turkey, a Midden began when Hunter-Gatherers were feeding Stonemasons carving & erecting huge Monoliths in a Circle, Grains & Seeds & Bones from the Midden show that for the first 30 years, everything going in the Midden was wild-harvested, DNA Analysis showing some Grains & Seeds came from 300 to 500 miles away on opposite sides of the City.
After 30 years, the first Hybrid Strain of Grain appeared in the Midden…, by 300 years ALL the Grains in the Midden were Hybrid Strains ; and 400 years after that the City had been abandoned, surrounded by the first Desert to have been created by the Broadacre Aggrokult of Harvest Everything-ism.
The Diaspora spawned by the Refugees fleeing Gobekli Tepe spread out, and by 7,000 years ago there were “proto Cities” with up to a thousand people growing Crops, keeping domesticated Animals & with wheeled Carts…, and then from the South end of the Caucusus a tribe of Horsemilk-drinkers called the Yamnayans appeared, and within 1,000 years they’d conquered from Spain’s Atlantic Coast to China’s Pacific Beaches, from Scotland & Norway to Delhi & Hong Kong…
It was so fast that 100 years after Stonehenge was built there were no British Y-Chromosomes left within the British Isles, the Yamnayans killed ALL the British Males and used the British women as Slaves or Wives.
All this is Peer-Reviewed Archaeology, from New Scientist magazine.
Meanwhile, here in Oz the oldest Campsite yet found is 76,000 years old and 46,000 years ago most of the Tribes which were here when Captain Cook arrived had already come here and were occupying the same Towris (Countries/Language-Areas)…, two Ice Ages came & went, and the Australians stayed put and adapted.
12,000 years ago was when the Rainbow Serpent Theology appeared, devoted to making a Religion out of caring for the Environment…, which – because it worked, spread accross the entire Continent, even including Tasmania.
Also, from New Scientist Magazine.
Oz was about the Last place on Earth to fall to the Harvest Everything-ists, they who created the Global Vile Age, by feeding the Ecology of the Biosphere to their Sacred EcoGnomic Growth.
And, now, between Anthropogenic Global Warming, Resource Depletion, Overharvesting, Mass Species Extinction, & Habitat Destruction – all conducted to satisfy Market Demands…, and the Bat-Eaters’ Lament Virus…; it appears that the Global Industrial-Scale Fossil-Fooled Broadacre AggroKult of Harvest Everything-ism is literally about to imminenently disappear clear up it’s own Cloacca…!
So, Yay Team Gaia Hypothesis !
Such is Life,
Have a good one…
Stay safe.
;-p
Ciao !
yawn….. like you have even bothered to learn about Harriet Tubman
Lol apparently you didnt study history, history goes back more than 500 years. Open a book and keep an open mind.
Andrew Jackson hated paper currency and would have not wanted to be on the $20 bill anyway
EXACTLY!!!!! EDUCATED PERSON!!!! Andrew Jackson is probably APPALLED that he is on a worthless, fiat money Federal Reserve NOTE at all!!! He was president when we RETIRED the National Debt and he was the President who kicked the butt of the National Bank (set up by Rothschild agent Alexander Hamilton) and it s then leader Nicholas BIDDLE–take him off the bill because it would have offended HIM is the best reason!
“After all… money. talks.”
*groan*
and bullsh!t walks.
when people have so much privilege that even the slightest thought of equality feels like oppression
@Devourer Of death Listen up, Systemic Racism. People like you are the reason for affirmative action. ; )
@Seth Wilsoncroft democratic socialism really has worked everywhere!
@Dragon1717 keep telling yourself that. maybe today you will learn that the world doesnt revolve around you, maybe you wont.
@Anon 26 That’s a wonderful privilege to have!
Who has privilege?
Andrew Jackson was nicknamed “Indian Killer” by some Natives and “Sharp Knife” by others.
@citizenxgen how about giving them back the land that was stolen?
@John Stone you on that meth
@John Stone Neanderthal lies
@Datsun Crown ya actually every native tribe from Canada to Brazil mention it in their history. Nice try though. Keep drinking the coolaid
@Karl Young https://www.ancient-origins.net/myths-legends/ancient-race-white-giants-described-native-legends-many-tribes-005774
I think Martin Luther King should be on one of those bills
Basic rules I learned as a kid, “sharing is caring.”
Then why am I deleted each time I try to dissagree ??
@TOMAS because your not caring e-

@Don Townsend And the MSM are the purveyors of Orwell’s dystopia.
Trump is so pro military.

The war on drugs has always been a racist lie.
Jackson was not a traitor and he and all the Confederates have done more for this nation then the entirety of black america in 200 years 😂
“… I think it’s very rough when you take somebody off the bill.” It’s okay Trump, Jackson won’t feel a thing.
If they ever put Trump on money it would be a nickel because he’s not worth a dime.
@Alex M – And never the penny because Trump is unable to think!
“I have freed thousands of slaves. I could have freed thousands more if they only knew they were slaves.” Harriet Tubman.
cole eason 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Listening to the left is like watching Clueless Part Duex, the remake of the reboot, directors cut
Harriet Tubman did not say that bullshit!
@cole eason sooo Europeans were here first? 🤔 What’s your point pale face?
That’s an illogical statement. So she is the moral authority on whose a “slave”? Strange how they have been so opressed yet never returned to Africa. Wonder why..
I thank God for people like Harriet Tubman!!
