Rep. Steve King (R) proposes legislation to block Harriet Tubman $20 bill change

Yep. They should change it back to Grover Cleveland so he could have non-consecutive terms on the $20.
That lady was about to stand up and slap the white out of him.

Omfg..... this fucking guy
i wish she did.
Given that he mentions Christianity, I suppose he considers Jesus to have been white as well.
C'mon bro.....
But we've literally changed who's been on our currencies multiple times. The current faces are only a recent period of stability.
Nah, that still wouldn't be true.
So much utterly wrong with this post, though I'm really interested to hear you tell me how little people of color and minorities have contributed to the United States.
I don't even know how you can defend being a Republican at this point. I'm just going to assume you're a shitty person and are a racist asshole if you support the GOP unless I'm given evidence to the contrary. It seems like all the people I though were ok are coming out of their woodwork this election with coded racism but refusing to admit they're racist.
Well, it depends on what he's arguing. Steve King seems to make two distinct assertions here. The first seems to be that only white people have made contributions. The second is that white people have made more than any other people.
They are so cartoonishly evil.

I agree with the guy causing the thread derail, only US presidents should be on currency, just like how it currently is today and how it's always been.

The seats in a single fighter jet probably cost more than putting HT on the 20.
To people like Steve King, being white and being Christian are synonyms. It's why they can say Obama is Muslim so easily.
Can't believe this. If president Franklin were alive today what would he think?
Isn't this coinciding with the regularly scheduled facelift that our money routinely gets?
I've always been partial to Pres Sacagawea.

That doesn't sound like a president so whatever currency she's on probably doesn't count.
Well its not hard...actually believing in conservative ideals and being an actual Christian is a good starting point

He does realize that when he says civilization, there was more than one era or does he think this is the only era that exist? Like right guys?
At some point you have to reckon with all the bad. Have the courage of your convictions and distance yourself from that toxic party.
Ben Franklin was the best president.

Sssh. Don't apply logic to dogwhistles!
Civilization = Jewish, European*, and American history.
* - Egyptians were Europeans too.

Dude fucking check out this motherfucker's grin as soon as the other people in the panel started shouting back at him.
He enjoys being a racist piece of shit. It powers him.
Your post history is going places.
Very interesting.
Note what you actually said: You wanted to defend someone saying this before you had even heard it. Ever wonder why?

I hope they accelerate the timetable. I'd like to have a Tubman in my hand before the nation switches off paper currency pls thx.

Yes. That person probably collected all the new quarters and loved the new money designs that have been put out over the last decade but all of a sudden want gets fiscally responsible when its time to put a black face on the money.
We have what we are given and we have to make the best of it and leave it better than we found it.
Still too broad tbh. Let's make it so only US presidents who were slave owners can be on currency. So the 1, 2, 20, and 50 are safe, but we'll need to find someone new to put on the 5. Maybe Madison. And it can be worth $3.
Put it on the 20 dollar bill.

It's sad that I can imagine someone actually doing that.

You know, I think race relations in the United States are somewhat different today than what they were before. There's obviously diet racism, but misconceptions and stereotypes come out and get reinforced from people just not encountering a particularly diverse set of people in their everyday lives. It's more of a situational and/or cultural issue that makes race relations tough in modern US.
But this motherfucker, this Steve King, he's an old school racist. Not the "why can't they just get jobs?" racist, but the "these people are genetically inferior" eighteenth-century slave-owning and trading white supremacist. It's quite the sight to behold, although also quite scary that a troglodyte such as he actually holds public office and has an audience.

President Obama on the $20?
King's a birther, so he'd probably reply that Obama is not a legitimate president.
You know even if you supported them blocking the currency from being changed to having a black woman (my god the horrors /s) on it or honestly truly did think we shouldn't be spending money on it, this bill is incredibly short sighted. So basically he wants to block them from changing the currency design saying they can't spend money to do so. So when counterfeiters find ways to counterfeit the current bills (and they will) this bill will make it so they can't change the design to address that.
Personal I'm pissed Andrew Jackson is still on it.
