Because diversity and..I have no valid response. The truth is because people needed something to whine about it. The truth is because she is black and a woman and they kill two of their diversity birds with one diversity stone.
it's a little insulting to compare her to a scum bag like 50 cent honestly. kind of demeaning
I said she physically resembles him. Which..she does to me and I'm certainly not alone in thinking this. What does his overall character have to do with having a physical resemblance to him?
I mean if you saw a guy walking down the street with a Hitler mustache and you pointed this out..it wouldn't mean you are saying the guy wants to wipe jews off the face of the earth, right?

in this day and age if he has a hitler mustache he is asking to be beat down
I grew one way back when i was a Specialist, as by definition its within regs for a soldier to have.
When i refused to shave it off, my NCO brought me to my 1SG and demanded i shave off the Hitler mustache.
I replied that i was a big Chaplin fan, but hey, it showed where my NCOs head was at. 🙂

Was just saying she could be bigoted too. If you feel in order to make peace with that you need to list every bad thing Andrew Jackson did then by all means have at it.
They dislike him because he was a mass-murderer.

I know right, who gives a shit about soldiers fighting a ridiculous war? It's why I piss on the graves of dead Vietnam vets whenever I get the chance.
It's why I used to have a sign saying "Thank God for Dead Soldiers" with my bud Fred (RIP) that I held up at the funerals of soldiers who died in Iraq. I mean, look at those stupid idiots, fighting a ridiculous war. **** them. 👇

Well I will give you that..Harriet is definitely not as bad as a mass murderer. Of course putting her on the same bill with a racist mass murderer is quite strange, but meh. I heard a rumor they want to take off Andrew Jackson and just put David Duke on the back of the 20. It's weird because the one picture of Duke they chose for this is him wearing blackface, it's like..whaat? People be cray cray.
Tovernmen, pronounced "Tubmin" by her people was a mentally ill schizophrenic religious nutbag who "talked and was talked to by god/satan" who did VERY little compared to the whites who started, financed, ran and eventually were martyrs for the movement and did the most important parts of the movement. Without them, none of it would be possible. Without whites deciding to stop having slaves, blacks would still be slaves.
They should be on the 20$ bill, not the beneficiaries of their heroics. Its like honoring the people superman saved instead of superman. Its bullshit and obviously SJW political correctness driven.
Entire life.
She was literally kept around because they felt sorry for her. She was later sent on suicide missions because of how expendable she was. She's a nobody.
Revisionist history only recently turned her into a hero, but she was a nobody. Her on a 20$ is a joke and will go the way of the indian nobody on the gold coin who they couldn't give away.

Well they certainly left out those parts in history class.Though perhaps it was the head injury as a child that caused these things?
Its all revisionist history propaganda.
She could have been horse kicked as a baby, but saying so and so was "kicked in the head" was a common way of trying to downplay mental illness due to the stigma of it at the time.
Well you have this from her wiki:
"Early in life, she suffered a traumatic head wound when an irate slave owner threw a heavy metal weight intending to hit another slave and hit her instead. The injury caused dizziness, pain, and spells of hypersomnia, which occurred throughout her life. She was a devout Christian and experienced strange visions and vivid dreams, which she ascribed to premonitions from God."
