<p>[QUOTE="baseball21, post: 2953139, member: 76863"]People calling everyone racist who dislike the design is why that backlash exists. Liberty has come in two colors on coins until last year, silver and gold. If someone wanted they could pretend she was whatever race they wanted, anyone who was bothered by generic desprictions for not being a certain race is allowing race to play far far to big a role in their life.</p><p><br /></p><p>Saying she looks like so and so happens with every coin. Are people racist for casting the Morgan face looks like a line backer or when they make jokes about countless other designs? All the threads I’ve read I’ve seen race injected into the discussion far more by those who feel everyone should like it. There are a lot of really bad design issues with it, not to mention the fact that coins are art and art is in the eye of the beholder.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
