More to the point, why is her physical attractiveness relevant to whether she deserves to be recognized for her accomplishments? None of the men on our currency are particularly good-looking either.

Nope I'll never forgive, I'll hold this against her forever.

Tell us all what you think makes a man "good-looking", Adam. After all, you prefer men over women so I'm sure you'd know lol. So I take it you wouldn't be interested in having a little anal fun with Washington, Lincoln, Grant, Jackson, or Franklin if they were still alive then? 😛

You seem quite interested in who a gay man finds attractive and what he does with men he finds attractive.
Do you at least have a flash light for reading in the closet?

And Washington & co are pretty hot compared to that mess tbh.

So very true, but people will look for any reason to object to someone that they don't like, despite not even knowing the person. Perhaps it's a cultural thing?

So then that's exactly what should happen. She fought for people that were held captive like phucking animals, are you kidding right now? I'm not playing here. Jewish people went through 5 to 7 years of hell during the Holocaust, and they have shrines raised in the honor of their dead, while Black people went through over 300yrs of captivity as if they were someone's phucking Pitt Bull and are still going through it today, and you're actually asking why? You know what? Place yourself in the shoes of the people that were raped, forced to work, lynched, mutilated, divided, and all of the other shit that you've decided to either not give a shit about, or did not realize, and then perhaps you might see why the phuck she should be placed on currency. Christopher phucking Columbus was given major kudos for being an evil piece of shit, only to later be seen for what he really was. An embarrassment. And you question why she should be given proper respect? You ought to think carefully about your next words.

I give two shits what she did. She doesn't deserve to be on our currency, *nobody* does.
But we sure as hell shouldn't change it from one person to the next for some virtue signaling bullshit, and you know that's exactly what this is. She's black, she's a woman...her accomplishments are secondary to that fact.
So No: we should not give in to virtue signaling. Folk can carry around a picture of her in their pockets if they need a picture of her on them at all times so badly.
