White Man Gets Moved to the Back of the Bill

The Underground Female Road
April 21, 2017
In a stunning turn of events. Dead white slavery-loving, genocide aficionado and America’s seventh president Andrew Jackson is to be bumped to the back of the $20 bill by none other than abolitionist, humanitarian, Union spy and suffragist Harriet Tubman.

Bye bye white guy.
Tubman was originally slated to replace Alexander Hamilton on the ten, but protests were registered and Hamilton is currently enjoying immense popularity. Hamilton gets to keep his spot on the front and the back of the $10 will now feature an as yet to be announced group of women suffragists. That's all well and good, but can we really afford to lose the image of a white man on our currency? Sure Jackson will remain on the twenty, but is it fair for a white man to be displaced by a black woman? What is this country coming to? Next thing you know real live black women will start wanting to be treated as equals to real live white men.
Inimitable neuro-surgeon Ben Carson felt that removing a hero who balanced the budget and not just oversaw but saw to the Trail of Tears should not be replaced by the likes of Tubman. Carson suggests instead that we put Harriet Tubman on the $3 $2 bill. The $20 is the most plentiful bill in circulation. When was the last time you saw a $2 bill? Or an intelligent quote from Dr. Ben Carson?
