Calls have been made to 'cancel Hamilton' just days after the Broadway musical's streaming debut on Disney+, after a renewed focus on it's lead character, Founding Father Alexander Hamilton. The show, created by Lin-Manuel Miranda, portrays Hamilton as a 'young, scrappy, and hungry' immigrant and someone who was passionate about the abolition of slavery. However, in light of recent Black Lives Matter protests, the story has now come under greater scrutiny - with some pointing out that Hamilton was a slave trader.

People who don’t learn from history are condemned to repeat it.
And for cultural appropriation.
One of the big Leftist in my family is my Nephew’s wife. She is a card carrying member. When the rioters torched her company’s building she proudly said she didn’t agree with the act, but excused it because, as she said, ‘Blacks are so oppressed in this country, I can understand their anger’.
Well “Hamilton” is her favorite musical. She’s seen it live twice and was talking about watching it on Disney over the weekend. Wonder how she’ll excuse this?
I will never forget the way Mike Pence was disrespected by the cast of Hamilton a few days after being sworn in as our vice president. Proof, as if we needed it, that this “movement” has no real goal, just creates disharmony and hate.
Should be cancelled for having terrible songs
Funny I am not oppressed, oppression to me is what China is doing to their ethnic minority that is muslim in the west and African Immigrants that live in China, and I wonder how she feels about all the black own business that were destroyed.
amazing to see the Left eat their own.
Did she cry when Hillary lost?
Isn’t this the musical where white political figures are played by black
actors? If Simpsons and Family Guy are
not allowing white actors to portray
minorities, shouldn’t black/minority
actors be prohibited from playing whites?
Great moment on election night 2016 as
the “blue wall states” fell and Penn.
electoral votes put Trump up over
the top. Hamilton gave us the electoral
college! What do leftists think
about that?
I love a good Broadway show or musical. I tried...really tried to watch Hamilton. Nope.
We live in an area where Busses go to NYC to see Broadway shows. People will be afraid to go to there whenever Broadway reopens. Looks like a war zone...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Miranda is the wokest of the woke.
And when Miranda was recasting the group in NYC, the ad specifically mentioned ‘MINORITY’ actors only.
CULTURAL APPROPRIATION (not to mention racism....) AT IT’S WORST!
I say #CancelHamilton because it’s utter crap. A semi-literate POS.
It is kinda funny, these morons getting a taste of what living up to their own standards entails. Wait until they find out that their own ancestors kept slaves...
Ya, this gets me too. Lin Manuel Miranda is an outspoken liberal radical type on the issues of the day.
The liberals can eat their own sometimes.
ROFWL
A financially very successful Broadway play, loved by the Left elites, with many actor celebs using their notoriety from the play to spout their Left wing politics publicly, and now their own sheeple - the fools made into political tools - have discovered that Hamilton was a “bad guy” to whom no politically correct playwright would have given any effort to.
This is the phase of Animal Farm where the sheeple have been so well indoctrinated by their masters they can see the skeletons in their masters closets and condemn them for NOT being the pure revolutionaries they claimed to be.
And the really funny but terribly bad thing is, when these new revolutionaries take hold, they will be just as impure to their doctrines, as well as hypocritical, duplicitous and corrupt as those they now condemn. Why? When you are on the Left you can spout the Left’s doctrines and analysis as it has been indoctrinated into you, but Life shows you those doctrines are not true to reality, that reality does not bend to them, and over time, the honest ones realize they cannot bend to them either. Compromises begin to be made, and those who compromise are either condemned and exiled, or escape, or someday/somehow start charting ways to recover from the false doctrines of the Left.
David Horowitz is one such person. He began his politically activist life as a diehard Marxist in the 1960s. But he allowed reality to speak to him and his intellectual honesty made him search and analyze deeper the Marxist ideas he had followed, and he found them, on his own, to be false. Few of our Conservatives today understand the Left as well as does David Horowitz. His knowledge of them is intimate, having been part of them.
I read his autobiography “Radical Son” and he absolutely knows what he’s talking about with regards to the left.
