Grievance trifecta: black homosexual liberal

by pretending our founding fathers weren’t white, Hamilton embraces a revisionist version of ethnic and racial history.’
Why would ANYONE attend such a moronic event, let alone a Vice President elect?
I put it to you that it isn’t “pretending our founding fathers weren’t white” so much as constructing a fantasy world (which is what you expect to see in theater, isn’t it?) in which blacks can fully identify with the founding fathers.

Which sounds like something to be applauded. I like the concept, a lot.

As far as lecturing a member of the audience is concerned, well - that is stepping out of character while in the theater, something an actor should avoid unless the script calls for it, as in a farce.

It’s a black cast?

Now I understand why it’s all the rage on the liberal circuit.

I said it was gauche, but the Pences are not snowflakes and incidents like this show the true colors of the left, so let the show go on. Americans will decide whether or not to patronize such idiocy.

I found the Hamilton incident outrageous and tasteless in the extreme, but you are right. I think the antics of the left over the past few years (judges forcing "gay marriage" on everyone, "gender fluidity" and disrespect of the national anthem, etc) may have pushed people to the breaking point and elected Trump. Four years of the left's bullshit will probably just alienate more people. This will help offset the young snowflakes who will become eligible to vote in four years.

I think the number of snowflakes out there is great exaggerated for two reasons - 1) the DBM wants us to believe that there are many more disgruntled yutes than there actually are and 2) the right wing media wants to publicize it because they know that sane people are thinking, WTH is wrong with those leftists.

The more disturbing aspect of this whole debacle is the reaction of academia. They look like fools with all the therapy dog, coloring and play-doh zones and safe space crap. Just like the Mizzou BLM tipping point which cost them dearly in enrollments, the ridiculous coddling of adults is going to be seen as weak and misguided.

My Gen X son comments, "we're the ones who will be hiring these crybabies and we're not impressed."

Actually they DID “lure him into a duel” - and Pence skewered them, as his cordial, flattering and deferential remarks drew the stark contrast needed to put their obnoxious whining fully on display for all sensible folks to observe for themselves.

Can’t disagree with that — let the free market decide.

Think I’ll write a play about black slave holders of Hispanic slaves, about how they love the Demorat Party and are all in the BBK (Black Brothers Clan), about how they lynched poor Hispanic slaves. What do you think?

Snivelers. One and all. Snivelers.

I wonder if they will be alive when old enough to understand what they did? Our monetary retaliation in response.

Boycott “Hamilton” for 8 years minimum. I am sure Soros will keep it “alive” at some level or another.

Once again, actors commit assassination in a theater. (This time it was character assassination.)

Judging by the rage on their FB page and the people who are demanding ticket refunds, I’m thinking it was an ill-planned rant.

Times have changed.

They better learn to keep up.

Hamilton was the grandfather of modern conservatism, I don’t think he would like this play or the politics of it’s cast members.

From what I saw many of the cast members didn’t seem to know what was going on.

I think we should bring back dueling.

How about 200 yards, rifles with open sights?
