11 Responses to Civil Rights Commemorative Coin One Step Closer: Legislation Passes House



  1. Mike Budzynski says:

    Is it my imagination or is half of all the commemorative coins signed in to law lately are civil rights related? We can’t get a coin for the 100th anniversary of Scouting but we get yet another coin that will not sell.

    The Little Rock coin was an uninspiring design that pales compared to the other designs.

    Firstly their have never been one African American on a coin , you all should be ashamed , a coin honoring Marcus Garvey, Banneker, or Medger Evers has been long overdue the US mint better get it together or we might have to find a place that appreciates us.

    I’m glad that you finally decided to minting a coin in honour
    of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Other countries have done so and I’d
    like to see a coin honouring this man that has a hologram on it such
    as the hologaphic coins minted in Canada which are very beautiful.
    Regards,

    Hey Mike - check your coins - Booker T. Washington was on a commemerative Half Dollar from 1946 until 1951. The money raised for this organization was given to them and like other commemerative coins, just kind of dissapeared. Then there was a Jackie Robinson commemerative 1 dollar coin and $5 gold piece. Next there was Crispus Attucks on the Black Revolutionary War Patriots one dollar coin.

    The last thing I want to see is the US Mint producing hologram coins of colorized coins like Canada or Liberia. Canada produces so much junk that it is hard to take them seriously.

    Hey Budzy check your history !!

    I wrote “Firstly their have never been one African American on a coin ” and I am right Booker T wasnt on a curculated coin were are they, why arent they as common as a dime ? Also boy a commemerative Half Dollar is not anything to get excited about they make those about anything they are as worthless as the confederacy which I’m sure you still belive exist, and finally Booker T wasn’t Black he was mixed so now that I have taught you history yopu can now go back to and get your jr high diploma, and remember alcohol and moonshine is bad son, so I’d quit before you make another mistake by talking back to someone infenently superior to you in everyway ok boy.. OK

    There is an old saying in the numismatic world, buy the book before the coin. In your case Mike I suggest buying at least one book. My suggestion to start off your numismatic library is the Webster Dictionary. I find it humorous when I am berated by someone that is challenged by the English language. Can you borrow this book at the prison library?

    Based on your vast numismatic prowess, I suggest you remember back to the late 60’s when silver coins were switched to clad metals. When many of the Booker T Washington half dollars that were circulating, people pulled them out either as collectors items or because of the value of the silver. Then again you might have missed the whole silver coinage history of this country.

    I am amazed at the level of ignorance and hatred some people carry with them throughout their lives. Step back and realize that you have to make the best of your lot in life – so if you do know someone that is infinitely – the word is infinitely – superior, please have them email me because sir, you fell far short of the mark.

    Firstly and lastly budzy your shrewd form of nuisance and ignorance is at best disturbing, little white trash boy learn to enunciate in a manner that is both respectable and sensible when speaking to one of your superiors such as myself.

    Secondly as I stated before and I suggest sobering up so that you can fully understand “THERE HAVE NEVER BEEN ANYCOINS IN CIRCULATION OF AFRICAN AMERICANS ” let me slow it down even more so that those with IQs below 60 such as yours understand in circulation, there process of being circulated you albino redneck inbreed cave ape, such as wind circulates throughout the body of the earth. If something circulates that means it has to be in existence to “CIRCULATE” the AFRICAN AMERICAN coins in all of history were never “CIRCULATED” in the manner of normallity, meaning they were at the very best “RARE” look it up they were rare not many were made because as I stated before “NO PINK CHICKEN CARED ENOUGH TO RECOGNIZE AN AFRICAN AMERICAN” they only did that so it could appear to the rest of the world that we were lying when we said we faced discrmination, when of the surface america could not have cared less about us.

    So is that better did you learn your lesson pedo, this is why cave monkys like you are out of the white house, because your my inferior ha I have all of Africa, and now we have europe. Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.

  8. Mike says:

    Also budzy read the icemans inheritance by Michael Bradley. The book in question shows why your my inferior by honestly stating the problem with your kind, it tells how your kind was born at the bottom of the human evolution map, and how your destined to stay there forever and yes I know you were thinking it by your kind I mean whores for mothers and homosexual fathers, I know how you wan’t to be liked be the matter is your an unlikable person, and frankly I have lost interest in talking to cowardly racist pedo redneck like you, hopefully when you get back to prison in your prison cell where you belong you will have learned that I was right all along and you will finally know what a truly miserable, repulsive, spiteful, pathetic animal you are.
    bye, check mate

    p.s. Also google “Rotimi Adebari” “Jean-Léonard Touadi” and “Lincoln Alexander” so that you know what I am proffesing is truth.

  9. Budzy says:

    Touché my narrow minded friend. Tertullian wrote that “The first reaction to truth is hatred” so I must have come close to the truth?

    Your incoherent racist rant certainly proved beyond a shadow of a doubt to the world who was the better person. George Bernard Shaw stated that “Hatred is the coward’s revenge for being intimidated.” Certainly my statements could not have intimidated your soaring intellect? Based on your cleverly crafted statements I should be the one that is intimidated, surely the ability to assemble such a lofty vocabulary has left the audience speechless.

    Help me understand these brilliant assertions:

    “such as yours understand in circulation, there process of being circulated”

    “this is why cave monkys like you are out of the white house” (Monkeys has an e in it big guy)

    “because your my inferior ha I have all of Africa”(Funny - I worked and travelled throughout Africa yet we never met?)

    “little white trash boy learn to enunciate”

    “in the manner of normality”

    “how you wan’t to be liked be the matter is your an unlikable person”

    If you won’t spend your money on a dictionary or my favorite numismatic book Numismatic Art in America - Aesthetics of the United States Coinage, by Cornelius Vermeule consider the Bible – it has much to teach us all. At least click the little button with the checkmark and ABC on it before you hit the send key.

    Pent up hatred can lead only to a life sorrow and loneliness. Eric Hoffer once wrote that “Passionate hatreds can give meaning and purpose to an empty life. These people haunted by the purposelessness of their lives try to find a new content not only by dedicating themselves to a holy cause but also by nursing a fanatical grievance.”

    It must be an empty cold world where you sit surrounded by the hollow words of your racist tomes. Because I am becoming bored – sort of like playing with a newborn – fun for the first few minutes but then you realize that they soil themselves as their only means of expression, I will leave you with these words. “All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach.” Now you can get back to Mr. Bradley’s book and I a life filled with hope and promise.

    To everyone that visits this site I am sorry for budzy. budzy is an obvious racist hick, that has never achived pass jr. high school. As for me I tire in communicating with those not even close to my skill level. I am tired of proving I am right only to have a troglodyte sub-human like budzy try to rant his anger from a lack of parenting at well mannered adults such as myself, so which he can feel better about his short comings. I would be most grateful if someone with a sufficient score of knowledge instead of off biased opinions like budzy the neglected child would like to impart in a knowlegable conversation, until that time remember So oft in theological wars, The disputants, I ween, Rail on in utter ignorance
    Of what each other mean, And prate about an Elephant
    Not one of them has seen!

  11. Budzy says:

    I see the linguistic genius has graced our presence again with another incomprehensible rant about parental rearing, levels of education, and presuppositions about race - yawn. Your diatribe fell far short when you could have also thrown in some quips about genetic anomalies, interspecies relationships, and genealogical inconsistencies.

    Friedrich von Schiller said that “With stupidity the gods themselves contend in vain.” Therein lies the problem, despite my suggestions and affable nudging, you fail to heed my brilliant advise. One would believe that given six days to compose your latest rambling it would be grammatically correct or at minimum spelled properly. Or did it just take six days to read – big words and all?

    For example when you said “budzy is an obvious racist hick, that has never achived pass jr. high school.” I would write “budzy is obviously an inbred hick that was kicked out of grade school because of his inability to articulate one syllable words”. See how that rolls off of the tongue and is actually funny? Not to mention understandable.

    As for your statement “budzy the neglected child would like to impart in a knowlegable conversation, until that time”. I can not help you on this sentence because one would suppose that even you don’t know what you are saying. I will help you with one thing though it is knowledgeable – it is spelled knowledgeable.

    Mike, please stop embarrassing yourself here on this site. It is obvious you are an angry young man that blames others for your deficiencies. Plato said “Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something.” Right now I feel you are struggling just to say something.

    I will give you kudos (Mike based on your diminished vocabulary I will help you here – kudos means praise, credit, or glory for an achievement – that is a good thing) on the Saxe quote. It is true reality is based on your perspective but you need to look at both sides of the story and not relegate your experiences and relationships to just angry, bitter people as you appear to have done. It’s a big happy world Mike – get out and live the life God gave you.

    If you can’t do that then I recommend that you observe the words of Abraham Lincoln when he said “Tis better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.” Because son, at this time the readers have no doubt where you stand.

    Mehr Glück nächstes Mal!
