In keeping with the tearing down of the statues around our nation, I would like to point out that the $1, the $20, the $50 and the $100 bills all carry pictures of people who at one time or another owned slaves. These could then be thought of as then “slave dollars.”
I suggest that these pictures be replaced with pictures of Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Tweety Bird and Sylvester respectively.
To my liberal friends in Snohomish County, I suggest we all boycott the use of these terrible reminders of slavery. Furthermore, should you currently be in possession of these bills, I suggest that you send them to me for disposal.
