Looks like the revolution is trying to eat Lin-Manuel Miranda. He needs to make amends and produce a BLM musical.

The left eating each other because of the quick changing moral absolutes is the most entertaining part of the Hamilton experience. The music is not good.
To: C19fan
It is astonishing
They praised him and worshipped him and toasted his brilliance....but now....he must go
Yep..welcome to your party

I never understood the appeal of this kind of idiocy.
Could you imagine the outcry that we'd hear if a Hollywood studio released a movie about Martin Luther King and had some white dude like Ben Affleck or George Clooney play the lead role? LOL.

Another problem with “Hamilton”, all black cast, reverse racism.

Not true. King George was white.
I saw the show last night with my mom and son. I was pleasantly surprised that it was a pretty good play. After a while, you don't see black or white in the characters. What I liked was that they portrayed the men and women the way they probably acted, and didn't look like the formalized paintings of people that we knew growing up.

Didn’t Alexander Hamilton and the slavery issue get aired out while the play was running on Broadway? Why is the cancel culture coming for this play/movie now?

One of my favorite things is watching leftists tying themselves up in knots to work their way through the social justice algorithms that lead to their imagined utopia.
Generally hilarious.

When, VP-elect Mike Pence, came to see the Broadway performance of Hamilton on 18 November of 2016, the cast, at their curtain call, chose the cast member playing Aaron Burr, to unleash the following on the paying customer; "
We, sir - we - are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us, our planet, our children, our parents, or defend us and uphold our inalienable rights". Of course Mr Pence was magnanimous in his response, defending their RIGHT of free speech and to express their concerns.
The New York arts crowd, the LEFT, the MSM, the 'intelligentsia' et.al., on the other hand, rose up with praise for such a brave piece of performance art, a true bravura act! It was at that point that I lost all interest in 'Hamilton'!

I went an read the article. The black author is unhappy that, while Hamilton was woke enough for 2015, it’s not woke enough for 2020.
The lesson to take away? NOTHING will ever satisfy the Left, so stop bothering to try.

Saw it the other day and loved it! A new way to tell the story and has inspired me to get a couple books on Alexander Hamilton. He is one founding father I haven’t researched much.

Ron Chernow, author of “Alexander Hamilton,” advised Miranda on the historical content of the play. You might like that book.
