Americans: is this an issue for you?

The US Mint has struck a gold coin in honor of its 225 year anniversary, featuring Lady Liberty in the standard $100 face value. Here it is:

Unusual about this coin is that Lady Liberty is portrayed by the US Mint as a black woman.
Americans, is this an issue for you? A lot of people were quite upset with this for various reasons.
Vote, and discuss.

I dont see any black Woman ova heeaahh mhmm mm mm
-------------------- its that bitter-sweet-sour, electric-smooth-twang. everything you ever have, are. or will feel along with every emotion, joy, hate, love, fear or aspiration burning down your nerves and into the fabric of your place in this existence at ten thousand degrees above and below zero will you find yourself wondering if you've been dead or alive this whole time. being born over and over only to die over and over hoping the wheel stops in the same place it started when you spun it, and when it finally does and you can step back and take a nice deep breath you realize how beautiful life is, remember, wake up to the most beautiful day of your life every single day, its just the way.

I voted "I'm NOT an American" because it's not my archetype so its an American matter, but I think its a good idea, personally. Liberty, in my view, has no race, so its OK to give it many faces.

The Lady Liberty archetype is older than it's American iteration. Goes back to the Egyptian goddess Isis that I'm aware of, and probably further back than that.

Right, but you asked if it was an issue for me. Doesn't bother me that mythological symbols older than most nations today gets a remix.
It's a little different for instance from making a coin where there is a black man and you call him George Washington.

To deny that people of different races have different facial features is willful ignorance, though I suppose it could be mistaken. Judging her race by her facial features and not the color of her skin does not make Asante racist for being able to tell though.

Give me a break. She has African facial features and African style braided hair.
Apart from the mint's stated intent, ANYONE can tell her ethnicity.

The portrayal is not an an issue at all.
I am not a fan of the "IN GOD WE TRUST" part. That would be an issue, if I were to have an issue with that coin.

Given the history of the US, putting a black women on a coin labeled "Liberty" pretty much insults every African American. Only a white guy would come up with this. I can imagine black people being seriously offended by this.

there was a thread on it here, already, when it was first announced. the controversy was that there needed to be a black woman on there at all.
if i remember correctly, the first suggestion for the minting was Harriet Tubman- which was, again, part of the controversy. she was to replace Andrew Jackson on some US bill.
did that end up happening, or was that idea scrapped, only to be nudged into this new coin?
i can't be sure. but this is what appears to be the case.

Was there controversy on this? Racial controversy? Who is lady liberty? Was she white?
I think black are part of a group that has gained much from America's dominance and freedoms
I see nothing wrong with this except the part about trying to make it controversial, aka race baiting

Only thing I don't like is the star headband. Could have been made a little smaller.
And why did they make it a gold coin? Why not silver? Isn't that more traditional for liberty coins?
The Sacagawea coin was gold. Maybe the US mint is racist and only printing colored people on colored coins.

http://time.com/4301417/alexander-hamilton-harriet-tubman-20-bill-10-bill-controversy/
it's not important, it's a coin....
but if it's a bill, and it's the first time the media (ie, the shroomery, also) hears tell of a black woman being 'foisted' into our concern, for the fact of her replacing Jackson on a 10$ bill, then it's a bigger deal slightly.
but hey, change is good. i guess i shouldn't complain (but how people cannot see the flip-flopping is...typical. one moment it's controversial, the next it's not, because it suits a narrative. LOL)

there already was a controversy, when Harriet Tubman was proposed to replace Andrew Jackson on the 10$ bill.

how much of that coin is actually gold? the price of gold is lot more than 100$ an ounce.

Coins like that sell for more than the face value. It would contain one troy ounce of gold, and probably some copper too for hardness.

Thats probably because Andrew Jackson was a president and Tubman is on a syrup bottle

that's missing the point.
there was already a controversy. that's the point. lady liberty replacing some other person, that's pretty much the same instance as switching one famous figure with another. you're saying it was because of Tubman's station as a marketing gimmick, is what made it controversial? i'd say it has to do with the fact that people thought her history wasn't prevalent enough to replace the old guy on a bill whom was there long enough, and given that who is on the bill is fucking unimportant crap, it shouldn't matter replacing him...but giving away the spot on the bill to a black woman to appease people's "sensibilities" = evil play of the race card to "win" the spot over the old coot that was there before.
people make a big controversy about stupid shit...but they make even bigger controversy over this particular breed of stupid shit.
so why? and how is that previous (& controversial) event any different from this one? why was that previous event controversial at all?
these are the questions one's gotta ask themselves when they think that replacing some old person with some other old person, on a bill, is so fucking important to people, when simply switching some people out for someone else is essentially the norm when it comes to societal boondoggles being given a human name & face.

I feel bad for countries who have nothing better to do than imagine divisive controversies here where none exist.
How many people of color are on European currencies? The answer is we don't care, because America.

so what you and asante are saying are that you want to try and make something racist where there is nothing racist. I personally would love to see jackson removed from the $20, he was a warmongering democrat asshat that called for and was responsible for a genocide on the indian people and needs to be properly vilified along with the likes of hitler, stalin, pol pot and many others. it doesnt matter to me if harriet tubman or the zebra from the fruit stripes gum package is then placed on the bill as long as jackson is removed

Im Ok with it, i voted.
it does look a bit odd, especially that weird starry headband. When i think of Lady Liberty as the Statue of Liberty (obviously), since its the biggest visual symbol.
Im all for a more racial diverse Lady Liberty.
But that starry headband is tacky.
