If they wanted to use an important African-American historical figure, then why didn't they use Frederick Douglass?
Look at him! He'd look good on a dollar bill!
That and he was way more interesting than Harriet Tubman!
Black people don't know who he is. They don't even know who Tubman was or anything she did.
The furthest back they can think is MLK

This didn't start with blacks, it started with whiny women.

Because black + woman gives more SJW points than black + man.

>Frederick Douglass
Hell yeah faggot! Finally someone else thought of this!
This is a great idea. Which is why the Feds will never allow it.
Maybe we can make a template? Print this gents face out in just the right size to tape over Tubbytubb on the new bills?
>>71598757
Agreed. When they first suggested Tubman a while back i wondered the same thing.

If they wanted someone who did a lot for the abolitionist cause, they would put John Brown on it, not Tubman. Even Frederick Douglass would agree on this.

Based nigger.

Because Douglass actually provided material contribution to the cause of abolition.
He was to quote Django Unchained that "one nigger in 10,000" whose intellect impressed even proslavery supporters.
He pretty much invented the "le smart black man" meme
He even managed to be fucking white women before it was cool.
Pic related this was his 2nd wife
Tubman smuggled a couple hundred slaves into Canada and all of a sudden that makes her the prominent figure in abolitionism.

Yeah but that's the whole point.
They don't want someone with individual accomplishments. In their minds, that's actually a *BAD* thing. They want someone to be an empty symbol of their 'identity' not an individual with accomplishments being honored for their accomplishments.
Tubman is perfect for this, since she's a black female and was relatively bland and unknown other than that. A perfect symbol for identity politics, a perfect slap in the face to our old culture of individual virtue.
