Well, isn't that precisely the point? If we are to "get over" history, why would we wish to continue to lionize a guy like Jackson on the $20 bill? Putting someone on money is a compliment, an honor. It is a recognition. I'm not in favor of modern day Cherokee hating modern day whites over what Jackson did. That's "getting over" history. It is where I often part company with politically correct liberals who want to drag ancient grievances into today's disputes with silliness like reparations. But getting over history doesn't mean you simply pretend it didn't happen and leave up the statues and laurels of the bad guys. Getting over history is forgiveness not forgetfulness. Jackson shouldn't be on money. Columbus shouldn't have a day in his honor. Redskins shouldn't be the name of a football team. That's not because I wish to live in the past but because I wish to escape it and only telling the truth about it will do that. Leaving up tributes to awfulness doesn't help us advance beyond the horrors of history any more than attempts by liberals to live in the past. |

Jackson is actually staying on the money evidently, he will be on the back of the $20 instead of the front. Jackson's treatment of the Native Americans was bad by modern standards but for a man who spent a good portion of his young life fighting Native Americans, having his men killed by them, his methods were not the worst he could have done and his other contributions were significant. Here is a link about all the changes to the various bills. http://money.cnn.com/2016/04/20/news/10-bill-hamilton-20-tubman/index.html Edited by Demagogue, Apr 21 2016, 12:00 AM.

I still think that American Indians deserve a place on our currency. The entire globe at one time, were just fascinated by American Indians and the Wild West, some of us still are. American Indians would turn our currency instantly into collectors items as well as works of art. Some of our older coinage were just wonderful pieces of art, now it's all pretty mundane. I always loved the Mercury head dime and the Indian head penny. Unique and Undeniably American!!! ![]() ![]() ![]() Edited by grannyhawkins, Apr 21 2016, 09:06 PM.

George Washington is another indian fighter and slave owner on our currency...Like Andrew Jackson, his face should be removed from our currency...I suggest Al Sharpton be put the one dollar bill, although he is a famous whitey fighter..........
