Maya Angelou 25¢ Piece Released

[Godboy]

So what the fuck are you racist whining about.

I made no complaint. I merely let you know that she isnt the first.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

In fact, Ms Angelou is a very accomplished poet and author. With dozens of published works. I think it's appropriate to honor her with a coin.

I agree. Pretty petty to begrudge her on the coin.

Woke has become a self-perpetuating, self-fueling ideology. People adhere to and worship Woke and no longer even know why. We put Presidents on currency, not ideologists. This is not American money.

She's that awful woman whose book about a particularly disgusting kind of rape is required reading in Woke high schools. I'd have been traumatized for life if I'd had to read that ----

I will never read anything by her. She's a whites-hating racist. And the left reveres her!

 

[struth]

Part of a series on American women. How'd they pick her as the first is astonishing and so very woke.

Oh my. What a sad looking coin.

The poet Maya Angelou is the first Black woman to be featured on a U.S. quarter

The Maya Angelou design is the first quarter in the "American Women Quarters Program" — a four-year program that will feature prominent women in U.S. history.

She was a fine poet and American...I have no issue with her being honored at all....but I don't know there seems to be some that should have been honored before her...such as Harriet Tubman...but whatever....

The coin however is horrible looking, and doesn't do Ms. Angelou any justice

 

[Godboy]

I agree. Pretty petty to begrudge her on the coin.

It feels like pandering. I mean of all the women you could honor, they pick Angelou? There has to be a thousand more important women.

 

[Circe]

Sorry bro, but that ship has sailed. The first woman on a US coin was white. There are older ones than this too.

She was probably a total fake. Even as a child I was never so foolish as to believe that Helen Keller nonsense.

So the racist are mad that the first woman chosen was a black woman, now these are the same fools who turn around and bitch and moan about black folks voting Democrat.

Hey Remus, as long as Joe Biden's kids don't end up in a racial jungle with you, the DemoKKKrats like you.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

She is a writer if I remember right so she was not selected because she is black alone. What have you done? She is a world renowned author.

She is a world renowned author because she's black. She is a great author in the same way Hunter Biden is a great artist.

Wrong, but keep proving you are a racist.

 

[Missourian]

I think it's a lovely coin.

We've done similar, printed and struck interesting currency backs, for over 100 years...

THE EDUCATIONAL SERIES IS THE CONSIDERED TO BE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CURRENCY EVER CREATED BY THE UNITED STATES

In 1896, the United States released the Educational Series, an artistically inclined series of currency depicting three allegorical motifs that would become some of the most highly revered notes ever produced by our government.

Fake? How?

that's absurd.

You don't think Helen Keller was real?

Im just glad that only drug dealers and prostitutes use physical money anymore...

 

[RetiredGySgt]

Damn you racists provide ammo to the black racist on this board. Attacking something as benign as a coin depiction with racist comments.

 

[Circe]

Fake? How?

A number of people think her teacher, who wrote all that stuff, just made it up, basically. Helen Keller was deaf, blind, and dumb and it is implausible to think all that highly ornamented Victorian writing actually was written by her.

 

[Circe]

You don't think Helen Keller was real?

Never did. It was implausible on the face of it.

Oh, I believe there was a multiply-disabled girl, sure ----- I don't believe she communicated all that stuff. I think her teacher was just selling it all for money.

 

[Flash]

Filthy Woke bullshit. Just shows what a fucked up country we have become.

Damn you hate having money with a black face.

You realize you were the first person to bring up her color right?
Dont project your racism on others.
