Nothing Burger of the Year

If you want to see an example of the Media's bias and racism...look no further than this glorious opinion piece in the Washington Post.

They claim that conservatives are having a 'hard time' dealing with the plan to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill.

This is not only false, it is the opposite of the truth:

Harriet Tubman was a registered Republican, as was everyone who opposed slavery at that time.

The Republican party was expressly founded on an anti-Slavery platform. It was the Democrats that owned slaves and supported slavery.

Harriett Tubman carried a gun and was a vocal advocate for gun rights. She believed that blacks should arm themselves for protection against Democrat slave patrols and KKK raids. She opposed the gun control measures passed by Democrats in the South intended to disarm the newly freed blacks.

Harriet Tubman risked her life to transport freed slaves out of Democrat controlled slave states to Republican controlled free states.

The man that she would ostensibly be replacing, Andrew Jackson, was a Democrat that notoriously mistreated the indigenous people, breaking treaties and sending them on the 'Trail of Tears'.

The fact that the WaPo is fantasizing that conservatives are opposed to replacing a racist Democrat with a gun-toting, freedom-loving, bad-ass Republican on the $20 bill betrays their complete lack of historical knowledge and latent racism.

They assume that we would oppose Tubman simply because of the color of her skin... because that's how *they* judge people. Which is, of course, the way racists judge people.

Shame on you, Washington Post.

Here is a summary of the timeline:

• Obama Administration 2016: Hey! Let's put Tubman on the 20!
• Federal Reserve: Ok, well, we need to do a lot of technical stuff, that will take until 2028 to accomplish that...
• Activists: Hey! The 100th Anniversary of 19th Amendment is in 2020, let's introduce the Tubman bill in 2020!
• Trump Admin: Uh, no, you can't really rush the process. There is a lot of anti-counterfeiting technical stuff.... the 2028 timeline is still the timeline.
• New York Times: Trump cancels the Tubman $20 Bill! He's a raaaaacist!!!!
• Federal Reserve: Uh, no, we have not canceled anything. This stuff just takes time.
• The Rest of the Media: Trump hates Tubman and all black people and the Fed is terrified of him!!! Systemic Racism!!!!
• Biden Administration: We are going to 'revive' a project that was never cancelled. See? We aren't racist like Orange Man Bad.

So, the bill is still in progress but the government moves very slowly. As per the usual arrangement, the media is lying, and those lies are now the generally accepted narrative.
