A gun toting black Republican & $20

A gun toting, law breaking black Republican woman will be gracing the new twenty dollar bill.

Yes, Harriet Tubman will be the new face staring at us from our wallets.

She was a law breaking woman. She liberated herself from slavery and worked tirelessly to lead others away from a wretched life style and economic system that needed to be ended. She broke laws that mandated that run away slaves be returned to their masters. Heck – she helped slaves run away from their masters.

She was a gun-toting law breaker too. Probably not the type of person that the NRA wants to put as the friendly face of gun ownership today. After all, the NRA supports the use of guns for self defense and putting an end to crimes. I'm not sure how many lives she ended or how many people she wounded. But from what I understand from history, she knew how to use a gun to put an end to unjust laws that violated peoples' rights. Specifically Black peoples' rights. And she put an end to crime – the crime of slavery.

She was black. A descendant of African slaves – she did what capitalists say that the poor should do – stand up for themselves and work their way out of the wretched situation that they are in. Well, she did that and helped others. Herman Cain and Dr Ben Carson should be proud.

She was a woman. A strong woman. With attitude. Probably make Carly Fiorina and Hillary Clinton shake in their high heeled shoes. Certainly not a pushover, according to the wanted posters.

She was a Republican. And the Republican Party should be boasting about this fact. Yes, she was a part of the party that worked to put an end to slavery and would agree with the Black Lives Matter movement today.

But the Republican Party of that time was founded by and controlled by liberals and reformers. They were abolitionists, people who worked for womens suffrage, socialists, communists, and other left leaning types that wanted to change the system and not for the 1% (or less) of that time period. They were more for the 99%. (That is until the 1% took them over in the 1890's.)

So, are we going to hear support for this from the Republicans?

Probably not.

Doesn't fir their version of history.

Or in this case – herstory.
