    Explain why I only hear "But Blacks sold Blacks into slavery" or "The civil war was not about slavery but 'state's rights' " only from right wing conservatives?

    My rich black friends agree, the $20 has become too urbanized.

    All the racist wingnuts moved from the democratic party to the republican party when LBJ decided that blacks should be able to go to the same schools as whites. A lot of these same type of people are now calling themselves independent and tea partiers.

    A duck is still duck regardless of what party they are in.

    I'm not terribly interested in changing the portraits on bills just because the historiography of the subjects change. But, I think we've been too staid with our money and we should perhaps have a constant rotation of people going through there. Maybe a slow rotation -- every 10 of 20 years -- if change is really so disruptive, or maybe even a fast rotation like postage stamps if you can make a bill in which identification doesn't rely on the portrait.

    Lol at lumping independents and tea partiers with racists.

    What happened to all the communists? Many of them now call themselves Democrats

    You still haven't explained why all the Confederacy apologists today are overwhelmingly right wing conservatives.

    bigtexx will have to carry around a lot of small bills and will just have to avoid ATM's I guess.

    I'm not saying the Tea Party is about racism, but that is where a lot of racists have gone.

    Actually I'm a big fan of Harriet Tubman's work.

    So your attempted dig has fallen flat.
