So when The Greatest Showman came out and people spoke about how it made PT Barnum a good character although he was horrible in real life, people defended it by saying that it was a piece of fiction based on real historical characters, everyone shut up.
But when Hamilton, a musical with a diverse cast that was written by a puertorrican man, does basically the same thing, it glorifies slave owners and is therefore racist?
Hamilton is not only groundbreaking for its music but its diverse cast and creating a safe space in theater. People made the mistake to take this musical as an accurate representation of the founding fathers when it wasnât.
Yâall just donât like to see someone who isnât white succeed, admit it.

i love to headcanon steve as this aggressively progressive dude but like, he begged to be part of the us army,,,,,, we canât just Forget That
He joined to literally fight Nazis the fuck you on about?
Minecraft lore is deeper than i remember
he was also like 20 and the Internet didnât exist so besides the fact that fighting the Nazis was one of the few good things the military has ever done, just mayhaps Steve wasnât fully briefed on the sins of US militarism and imperialism
I love that yâall think tha white people in the army in WWII joined to fight the evils of the Nazi party and not because of nationalism. The US sent minorities back to Germany to be gassed and only got involved after Germany threatened us.
captain america was created by joe simon and jack kirby, two jewish second generation immigrants. you can argue about what the character has come to represent culturally today but itâs absolutely insensitive to erase what the character was supposed to represent for the creators at the time.
hell this is the image on jack kirbyâs wikipedia page next to the âentry into comicsâ section
it was absolutely a political statement, and one that positioned america against fascism, against antisemitism, which is more than we can say for some modern media or even the orange stain running our country
I would also like to add, he was introduced, like this, while the USA was not in the war, and was selling weapons to Germany -among other things. It was a very dangerous, very unpopular statement to make at the time. People love to do the âpunch Hitlerâ thing now, but when Captain America was first released with this cover, this was an extremely controversial statement.Â
Captain America was created in direct response to how the USA was reacting to the war at the time as a direct call to action against injustice specifically. Created by two Jewish men who were very much affected by all of this. They specifically designed him to look like he did because that was the ââAryan Idealââ as part of that statement. That is why they made him blond, blue-eyed, white, tall, and muscular. They also called him âCaptain Americaâ to implicitly tie the United States to this statement. This was a metaphor of âThe USA has to stop letting others be hurt, itâs time to step up and do somethingâ.
Itâs not only insensitive to erase that, itâs Antisemitic to call a Jewish-made character that was a political statement against antisemitism in the 1940âČs by people who were fed up with watching their loved ones die while people said they âshouldnât get involvedâ in a massive, global genocide attempt a âsymbol of military industrial complex imperialism and nationalismâ when he was made as a symbol of resistance and a call to fight fascism and antisemitism.
Has anyone mentioned yet that American fascists were so pissed about Captain America that some American Nazis showed up at the Marvel offices to âshow what Real Americans would do to Captain Americaâ. Jack Kirby literally rolled up his sleeves and would have beaten the shit out of them if they hadnât run off by the time he got to the lobby.
Like, fuck you if you refuse to accept that JEWISH AMERICANS created a character that is intended to protect Jews and other marginalized groups.
This.
Fun? I was never fun. You take that back.
You really do love him, donât you? Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Very much.

âI was helping this kid that I was mentoring and he put himself on tape for this amazing part on your show, which I was already watching. I was initially curious because the script contained one of the most important spoilers for most of us. Some of us kept punishing ourselves by watching your show to see if something terrible would happen to Joffrey. But I had that satisfaction ripped away from me when I was helping this kid tape and reading for Oberyn. As i kept reading, itâs embarrassing to admit, but i connected to it so completely that it lit this crazy fire in me. I felt instantly attached to the character so i was totally focussed on my representatives getting me the material and taping an audition.â
