No offense to Salmon Chase, but the bill denomination your face shows up on is not proportional (even logarithmically) to one's importance or worth as a human being

It’s a gesture that doesn’t literally cost anything but can make blacks feel appreciated and some sort of justice, a symbolic one. And yet, some people’s ego won’t allow for that. They have nothing to loose and yet their ego is freaking out.

Yes, it must be because "their ego is freaking out". Lol....

This is the "they're scared of us" trope.
