Have you seen or heard Hamilton?!


Clearly OP hasn’t. I don’t think she could handle it.


OP here - I did as I replied above....my question was do you think other more ignorant people will have an issue?


Based on your OP, ignorant people do have a problem.

I do understand the message and embrace the concept 100% - just curious if there are people out there pushing back who do not understand.......


I try not to be toxic on this site but it seems like you are just being purposefully obtuse or maybe even... dumb?

Yes, original broadway cast and LOVED it and completely understand and embrace the concept - just musing on what more ignorant people - especially those who haven't seen it - how they may react.......


yeah, you're backpedaling now. That's not what your post said. Your post asked whether it contradicts what is happening now.


I am not backpedaling but you are right - I did not word my question properly ......

I don’t think so. The founding fathers are portrayed with honesty - Jefferson is the villain (and sally Hemings is in the show); Washington is acknowledged as a slave owner.
