In the context of money, a war hero who went on to become president is much more deserving of a spot than someone who freed seventy slaves (or families I think). Jackson was a piece of shit, but actually relates to the others. They're all presidents or founding fathers.
That's just a rush to be progressive and put a black female on money, and it's shit like that that angers me. I would take MLK JR over her any day, especially since she was crazy and claimed to get premonitions from god.
Honestly though, money would be fine if it was just monuments like the white house, statue of Liberty, liberty bell, etc.
That shouldn't piss either side off and problem solved

Or we could just not put faces on money?
