reminder for all y'all hamilton watching mofos:
hamilton was a racist slaveowner, and casting poc as white bigots isn't the reclamation you think it is. it's a romanticized telling of a white man's plights, so none of y'all better be stanning the founding fathers AGAIN.

go and enjoy the music, but i'm telling you it's inherently problematic because of it's biased storytelling.
i.e.: luna and goyo actually SHOWED their downsides and put judgement up to viewers. hamilton has no trace of his bigotry so you are programmed to think he's good.

however, yes. i am going to watch musical; yes, i am going to listen to the music.
but i am not ignoring reality and problematic nature of this musical, and how it is rewriting the past in favor of the white man's savior complex YET AGAIN, and poc's are helping enable it.

casting poc to partake in a biased telling of a white slaveowner's life is not reclamation especially considering the fact that THEY probably don't even know THEIR OWN ancestry because of these colonizers.
people who are unable to separate actors and characters sicken me.

additional tweet since some of y'all think y'all slick:
calling out hamilton for its problematic nature and appreciating what it has done for bipoc actors in the theatre industry on broadway are not mutually exclusive events.
i can do both love, i don't get what's not clicking?

im sick and tired of y'all thinking appreciation of arts is black and white.
i can be critical of the art i consume, and still be appreciative of its impact to minority group inclusion.
but if you're too small-minded for that, get out of my page. thank you.

hamilton wasn't an abolitionist, he was complicit about washington, jefferson or madison owning slaves. he married into a family OF SLAVEOWNERS.
slavery was not the forefront, he's responsible for capitalism because financial plans were more important than black lives to him.
