Let's not forget that Hamilton, written by a non-black man, completely erases the narratives of any and all black people at the time, even going so far as to have Jefferson refer to the woman that he enslaved and repeatedly raped as a "lamb", and the fandom now ships them together when they aren't too busy fangirling over some of our worst presidents. The idea that a few brave white men founded the US is a super racist, sexist one anyway.

plz hey you gotta explain why hamilton is racist or you're just gonna continue to sound narrow minded and one sided (which i know you aren't which is why i want to hear your reasoning)

Ok listen this is just one side, I didn’t start this but I’ll answer this one, I really didn’t wanna have this blog become this (bc thats already my main blog) but whatever. Just one small point is that most of these people are slave owners and just bc they’re played by people of color, doesn’t make it any better, Thomas Jefferson a literal owner and rapist being portrayed as this jaunty fine funky fellow, is not good, a slave owner being portrayed as anything other than evil is not good. Anyways thats just a small part of the bigger picture but thats all im gonna say about that today
