There are stories of the human condition that go beyond nation or race.

If modern audiences think that white folk got them like Hamilton then they need to read more. And maybe travel.

Inequities will always exist.

Bootsy Collins recounts seeing black people in Africa mistreating other black people simply because they had power.

I think the point of Hamilton, is simply this: his story is a human one, and it is uniquely important to ALL Americans (and really to all humans). Hip hop is also a human story, and it is an appropriate vehicle to incorporate into the musical and to tell his story.

That’s the only point.

No suggestion that Hamilton is somehow the greatest (hip hop) story, not at all.

But it is a great story, and to yoru point, it is a story of the human spirit. (AND the American spirit :)).
