    Personally, I'd like to see more variety in our currency.  There have been many deserving people from the 20th century that go unrepresented 

    Instead of doing away with Jackson, why not have 2 or 3 bills.  Jackson, Tubman and....idk, Reagan.

    throw in a bill (any denomination will do) for Edison, FDR and other American icons

    I don't like the new $20, it just seems like a FU to any white males in the country, even though we had nothing to do with their situation.

    If you're not sure if you should be offended or pissed off, make sure you double down on the anger.

    Gotta disagree Mac.  Not sure how changing a picture on currency is derogatory toward white males.

    I think Beck or Limbaugh or Colter said this was something to be upset about so...

    The origin of the ink, used to record history, is derived from the blood of the oppressed. That same ink is used to print the dollar.

    You also had nothing to do with the founding of the country, anything remotely remarkable in our collective history, or the changing of the $20 bill.  Did I miss the part where this somehow impacts you or was done to you?

    Thread reminds me of that saying - "opinions are like a$$holes - everyone's an a$$hole!"

    What - that's not the saying?
    I usually say" opinions are like a$$holes - most people have one. " (Google" imperforate anus").

    If we were a smart country, we wouldn't put portraits on the currency, and avoid all the drama.  
    And get rid of "In God We Trust."  Ain't nobody got time for that!
    Hey now...if the Founding Fathers didn't want "In God We Trust" on our currency they wouldn't have put it on it.

    Oh...wait...
    Stop dad gum it tryin' ta edjukate peeple wif IRONY, doggunit!

    "In God we trust" first appeared on U.S. coins in 1864[3] and has appeared on paper currency since 1957
