Ontopic Thoughts on the new push to basically ban the Confederate Flag

[august]

watch:


I know it's not the argument you're making, but it comes across kind of like someone is trying to validate caring superiority now compared to the past.

I see how you might think that. people care about lots of things, and have for as long as time. what people care about, especially as a collective, oftrn changes over time. people certainly care more about this particular topic than they have in the past, not least of which is because it's only in recent years that people of color have started to approach anything close to equity. in the not too distant past, society thought nothing of ignoring even survival concerns if the concerns were in regards to people of color. sundown towns still exist

I recognize that you can't judge the past by the morals of today, but that doesn't mean we can't strive to continue to be better.

you can have that conversation without his face being on the 20

it only started being on there in the 20s, it's not like he's been on there for very long in the history of our currency

that's nearly 100 years

 

[Floptical]

that could be really neat!

Exactly they could do like the Grand Canyon, Rockies, Everglades, NYC Skyline, Space Needle, Hollywood sign, etc

i had a 20 a little bit ago but i handed it and its brothers to the weed guy. jeffersons buying weed is my favorite currency troll.

 

[hydra]

that's nearly 100 years

which is still less than half as old as we are as a nation.

the ass kissing 'caring' is because it's a voting block.

Changing a face on a dollar bill, which by the way is being used less and less and less, does absolutely nothing. In 100 yrs there can be disgust about her because 'more caring' in a completely different angle that gets a new block of votes.

In fact, in 10 years, when there's no currency, one group can be shamed into 'you knew paper currency was on it's way out the same way you made black history month the shortest month of the year. . . ' But that doesn't matter. Because today, today it's worth a few votes. in 10, or 100 years, a new monster will be created to regroup the votes.

Given the popularity of the State quarters you would like this is something they would entertain.

and?

so since change will happen at some point in the future, we should never change now?

revisionist history after so much global change is silly

it's only revisionist if we try to erase what he did and that at he was on our currency. it's not like there is going to be some suppression conspiracy.

Cute generalization. If it's only symbolic change No.

Is there a ceremony for getting 'let's kiss meaningless ass' ribbons? Do those go next to participation trophies at home?

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

Symbolic change isn't important?

we should probably remove all men from currency since they were suppressing women and not allowing them to vote

 

[Ledboots]

Yes, we could have the kardashions on the bills

Bruce on the $5 and Caitlyn on the $10!
