Honestly I can't think of a white woman that is deserving, unless you open the door to singers/actresses.IggyPride00;1735876 wrote:It's been made pretty clear based on what the liberal sites are saying that white people need not apply.
It is going to be either Rosa Parks or Harriet Tubman.
But if you put a black person on the $10, is it then worth less than $10? :laugh:
And if should be Harriet Tubman. Rosa Parks was just too lazy to walk to the back of the bus, which would only serve to perpetuate stereotypes.

Just met someone who works at the Denver US Mint the other day. A bit of information, they are not allowed to put anyone on a bill/coin that is alive. The reason all the Presidential dollar coins that have gone out stopped at Reagan, it is because Carter/Clinton/Bushx2 etc are all still alive.sleeper;1736043 wrote:My guess it'll be a President's wife.
So, by law they won't put any woman currently alive on the bill.
I would think they, based on some liberal agenda, and because she well deserves it, that it would be Harriet Tubman with all the Underground Railroad work she did.

I'm aware of the rule. I'm thinking a President's wife from a significant President like Washington or Lincoln. Harriet Tubman is another favorite. Or maybe a woman who was prominent in getting the right to vote for women.jmog;1736098 wrote:Just met someone who works at the Denver US Mint the other day.

Once you float the idea it's going to be a black woman, then it HAS to be a black woman...otherwise riots.

I thought of Eleanor Roosevelt when someone mentioned a First Lady....Nancy Reagan, no. Jackie O?Old Rider;1736137 wrote:Eleanor Roosevelt, Nancy Reagan, Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman...
I just think a First Lady is a tough sell over Tubman, Parks or some famous women's rights activist. And I can't name any of the latter off the top of my head, which goes to illustrate black history, at least until fairly recently, has been a much more prominent part of curriculum than women's history.

Forget Hamilton on the $10. I would like to see Harriet Tubman, anti-slavery Republican, replace Andrew Jackson, pro-slavery Democrat, on the $20.

It seems like Sacagawea is getting the shaft with her 1 dollar coins.
There are plenty of prominent women in US history that deserve to be on the bill, black or white. I'd prefer it to be a black women, because it would be 1 less thing we would hear bitching about.

Unfortunately this. If it's a white woman, we will have to deal with the liberal media calling the US Mint a bunch of racists for not picking a black woman. I can already see it.like_that;1736145 wrote:It seems like Sacagawea is getting the shaft with her 1 dollar coins.

Ben Bernanke absolutely appalled by the idea of removing Hamilton from the $10 bill. He should be, as should everyone. I am glad he called out obama's treasury secretary Jack Lew for another boneheaded decision.
