The $100 gold collectible coin is part of a series that will ‘‘depict an allegorical Liberty in a variety of contemporary forms-including designs representing Asian-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, and Indian-Americans among others — to reflect the cultural and ethnic diversity of the United States,’’

I don't have a problem with it because they're doing all the races. However I do have a slight issue with them going with the black woman first.

Blacks are put too highly on pedestool, they don't always need to be placed first.

If it was going to be just a black lady liberty then I would have to argue that they need to change the name of the "symbol"

I have a problem with it because it is yet another instance of our government being race conscious where it is not supposed to be a consideration at all.

Pure SJW bullshit. They could have picked a historically relevant person, or at least a pretty one, but they just put a random black woman on there with cornrows and big lips to drive the point home.

At least the Sacajawea coin was artistic. This is just pandering. It will not sell well.

I think that is their aim so that they can claim racism again with the coin not selling.

You are probably right. There is nothing more the left enjoys than a reason to whine.

The Sacagawea coin was/is an ugly piece of shit. That coin pissed me off to no end because they had a choice that would have been much more beautiful and still of the same subject. I cannot find any images of it now, but I remember seeing the finalists when they were still having the design competition for it. There was one which had a really pretty woman in profile looking up as though in pride and with inspiration. It fit well with some of the best of our beautiful historical coins. Instead they went with an ugly fat looking bitch with a baby on her back looking over her shoulder at us. Wtf is that shit?

I remember the concept art too, there were much better versions. At least they used a historical figure. If only they were smart enough to make it a differnt size than a quarter...

Lady Liberty is a white woman for the precise reason that she represents enlightened eurpoean values, which only come from white people. Any attempt to co-opt her image is a treasonous repudiation of civilization.

Fair enough, let me ask this though: wouldn't that mean whites couldn't portray themselves in native americans with their feather headdresses?

Not on Indian currency. They wouldn't allow it.

The word "couldn't" is an odd choice. It suffices that the symbol falls flat when divorced from the ethnicity it is born of.

White people will never have the proper appreciation of the barbaric shamanism of the native american tribes. Not because white people never had barbaric shamanism, but because they had a different kind.

Keep in mind that in this example, publicly funded forces would select to dress a White person up as a native and then say that it is an appropriate representation of native peoples, and suggest others use it as well. Don't think you're going to see that anywhere.

They are not appropriating; they are erasing. The enlightenment values that descend from euopean history are from one source only, the white civilization.
