Go Harriet Tubman!

Re: Go Harriet Tubman!

Its just paper,and soon to be obsolete anyway what with digital money now. Truth be told just how many people still use paper cash.
How many sports players can dance on the head of a pin?
How many women get to run the world,or even maybe get elected to be POTUS,and are still blocked from getting anything good done for the people.?

The game has always been rigged,and it seems always will be.

Somewhere the devil is laughing because being the Father of lies,he may have even fooled himself...

Re: Go Harriet Tubman!

I am not arguing that black people aren't disadvantaged. The problems are largely due to a lack of integration, which itself is largely due to ghettos. I've gone into this a few times already, but those threads got shut down, but the gist of it is that it's much more complicated than "because racism."

Even if it was entirely due to racism (or prejudice, bigotry, etc.) the solution is still integration and education with a fair bit of criminal justice reform for good measure.

Re: Go Harriet Tubman!

The nba is almost seventy-five percent black and they have an average salary of about four million dollars.

Also, America is one of the most culturally and racially accepting places in the world.

Racism is not an American problem, it's a human problem and one that is increasingly going away as we are becoming more educated and globally connected.

Let's do some stupid math.

there are 30 teams in the NBA
Each team can have a max of 15 players
75% of those players are black.

*busts out the abacus.

30 teams with 15 players gives us 450
75% are black.
337 and half a black dude later

2014 Black males census says 21.5 MILLION

omg. You are so right. Those black people need to hush up.

Let's do some more math.
Because sports.

How many black people in tennis?
Tour de France?
Volleyball?
Gymnastics?
Golf?
swimming?

Shall I go on or do you want to go on with your silly non mathematical self?

We can. I'm hyped up on a smores frap



Also just because other countries are racists doesn't mean we aren't.

Re: Go Harriet Tubman!

If we are one of the most accepting countries in the world I guess we can quit crying about Harriet Tubman being on some paper then.

Oh no, my argument of "only white men should be on money" has been thoroughly thwarted.

Glad that's over.

What population of black americans are in official sports teams?

Re: Go Harriet Tubman!

Except for basketball teams, and most sports for that matter. It's more than ten to one in their favor for both groups there.

I mean come on now.
Stop effing up my thread with this utter nonsense.

Jews are great at making matza balls so they didn't have life as bad as we thought.
Ug.

Ever wonder WHY black americans end up trying to pursue sports teams?

Because America is racist.

I said it.

But don't put 'em on the money though!

Re: Go Harriet Tubman!

Women and black people gotta be vetted ten times harder before they go on anything.

Re: Go Harriet Tubman!

There are many many many, did I say many, because I mean many women who would have been great candidates to go on our paper money. We picked one. This doesn't mean we can't pick another. So just let her be. Where does it say us women just get one? Jesus Christ people. It's 2016.

Re: Go Harriet Tubman!

ITT: We question the woman who saved 300 slaves more than the guy who owned 300 slaves.

Or to put it another way, we question the woman who threatened slaves at gunpoint more than the man who paid off our national debt.

Plus, America is as dependent on slave labor now as it ever was. We just don't bring the slaves here anymore, and out of sight is out of mind.

Re: Go Harriet Tubman!

Personally I think Harriet Tubman was a poor choice as I think there are women who are more deserving and more relevant to today such as Rosa Parks.

10 to 1 Rosa Parks would have kissed the feet of Harriet Tubman. I mean think on that.
