Nope. I’m 100% sincere. I hate that fucking musical. There are plenty of good stories about Black people set in that period and it’s ridiculous that instead of telling one of them, they decided to gloss over the racist abuses of the founding fathers by casting them as people of color. The fact that the only white person in the play is King George, when England was vastly more inviting to Black people and former enslaved people, is horrific. Many former enslaved people fought on the side of the British because they were far more credible at offering them freedom.

I don’t think anyone is morally wrong for enjoying the fandom or writing fic in, I understand why some POC like it, but I hate it with every once of my being and if we are going to ban things with sympathetic portrayals of Nazis, I want the musical that sympathetically portrays anti-Black slaveholders banned too.

Speaking of shitty attempts at trying to insert minorities into history, thank god feeld didn’t win the Pulitzer. I would have rioted.

You know, knee-jerk I thought you were like my ex-friend who is offended at black Orphan Annie or black Wendy Darling because "those are white stories and just as offensive as an all-white cast of Roots would be." But after reading your post, I completely understand and agree with your stance.

I never saw Hamilton, don't like the music or care about it at all, and had never really thought about it before. Thanks for a new perspective.
