true racists would turn over in their graves to know that a black man was playing them.

ah yes, the old riddle. is putting harriet tubman on the 20 dollar bill based because it would make andrew jackson angry to be replaced by a black woman? or is it cringe to put harriet tubman on the currency that was used to purchase her?

the answer is actually that we should keep andrew jackson on the 20 dollar bill because he hated the federal reserve

Lol, a fair point. I think this somewhat cements this being a matter of perspective. Neither perspective is wrong or right, just different angles while everyone is still wanting whatever is worse for the slave owners, and whatever is best for the black folks. I'm open to having my opinion changed about whatever is the most just outcome.
