The Vanishing Caucasian is not a new phenomenon. It's been going on for a long time in Hollywood product. Sort of like the Netflix series with the black guy who is supposed to be British nobility. I think the name of the show is Riverton or something like that. My wife did not appreciate it when I told her that the show was real history and the black guy was actually the Duke of Ellington.

And now there is some black girl on another cable channel who is supposed to be Anne Boleyn. Just as believable. But actual Puerto Ricans need to be Puerto Rican gang members in West Side Story.

Take your bride to see Hamilton on Broadway!

Make sure she knows that Alexander Hamilton (the most influential pro Federalist) owned slaves.

“...the black guy was actually the Duke of Ellington.”

Sure it wasn’t the Count of Basie?
