Raven Symoné doesn't want Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill

NEW YORK, May 14 (UPI) -- Raven Symoné voiced her disapproval of the idea of putting Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill on The View Thursday morning, but her reasons have viewers confused.

"No offense to everyone that's going to be mad at me for saying this, I don't like that idea," she said to begin the segment. "I think we need to move a little bit forward. Let me just preface that I understand the history, I get it, trust me, I was taught, I was in that culture...I would've chosen Rosa Parks."

Symoné said the world's apparent issue of continually repeating history of "hating other cultures over and over again," was one of the reasons why she'd steer clear of Tubman. But would honoring the abolitionist's life's work by featuring her on U.S. currency re-incite hatred toward...slaves? The Root's Danielle C. Belton weighed in:

One way to not repeat the HORROR of SLAVERY is to talk about Harriet Tubman, superhero, modern-day Moses, spy for the Union Army, icon to those living with disabilities that you can do anything anyone else can do, and, in fact, do it better and liberate your people while you're at it.

Symoné continued: "I would have chosen someone that is closer to the progression that we're doing now...I would choose a different woman, no offense."

The That's So Raven actress didn't continue to clarify her point and no one disputed her opinion -- which she is clearly entitled to. Afterward, her co-hosts agreed together that they definitely want to see a female face on U.S. currency and moved on with applause.
