Re: US: Violent clashes Charlottesville
It's not just Statues that are now being talked about. I saw somewhere, it was suggested yesterday, perhaps in jest to blow up Mount Rushmore, because it contains faces of former Presidents and slave owners.
Today, I have seen talk about boycotting the use of $1.00, $20.00, $50.00, & $100.00 bills, as they have images of slave owners on them.
$1 Washington - slave owner
$2 Jefferson - slave owner
$5 Lincoln - did not necessarily agree with slavery, but didn't agree that blacks were equal
$10 Hamilton - slave owner
$20 Jackson - slave owner
$50 Grant - slave owner
$100 Franklin - affiliation with slave trade.
Then I saw someone else sarcastically write underneath the above:
I'm here to help, I really am. What I need everyone that agrees with the destruction of historical property to do is send me all your currency so I can dispose of it for you. No need to carry these evil people in your pocket that cause your life so much trauma and tears. Don't be a hypocrite, send me the money. It's evil!!!!
-Thank you and your [sic] welcome!!!!
