Former Sen. Jim Webb (D-VA) is not happy about former President Andrew Jackson being bumped from the front of the $20 bill.This racist asshole argued that despite, "Jackson's involvement in the events that led to the Trail of Tears, he argued that the former President was not genocidal because he raised an orphaned Native American baby as his son."
Webb joined conservatives in blasting the Treasury Department's decision to bump Jackson to the back of the bill in order to put legendary abolitionist Harriet Tubman on the front. He wrote Sunday in a Washington Post op-ed that the decision was "an indication of how far political correctness has invaded our educational system and skewed our national consciousness."
"This dismissive characterization of one of our great presidents is not occurring in a vacuum," he wrote. "Any white person whose ancestral relations trace to the American South now risks being characterized as having roots based on bigotry and undeserved privilege. Meanwhile, race relations are at their worst point in decades."
Andrew Jackson ignored a Supreme Court ruling, and sent in troops to send the Cherokee on a death march to Oklahoma.
F%$# Webb, and f%$# his Neo-Confederate bullsh%$.
