OneUnitedBank decided to release a visa debit card that features an image of abolitionist Harriet Tubman doing what looks like the Wakanda Forever salute from the MCU's Black Panther movie.

The bank, which is black-owned, took to social media to announce the limited edition card and called it "a symbol of Black empowerment."

"We have the power to place Harriet Tubman on a global payment device in celebration of Black History Month," Teri Williams, President & COO of OneUnited Bank, said of the release. "This symbol of Black empowerment in 2020 will pave the way for the Harriet Tubman design on the $20 bill." The image that's featured on the card is from Addonis Parker's "The Conqueror" painting.

Needless to say, people on social ripped the card to shreds with criticisms and jokes. Check out some reactions below.
