    Just spreading knowledge when I can.

    That was one of your worst excuse ever for posting something.

    I am actually disappointed with you.

    Did the Second Act kick you in the gut or was it just me?

    Since you don't know how to bookmark I figured this would be something you would be comfortable with?

    https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2016/10/correcting-hamilton/

    excerpt:

    Historian Annette Gordon-Reed would like to make clear that she likes “Hamilton,” the Broadway hip-hop musical phenomenon about Alexander Hamilton, which audiences and critics have adored and some scholars and writers have scorned.

    But she would like to make clearer that she found the show problematic in its portrayals of Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, the Founding Fathers, and the issue of slavery. The musical is based on Ron Chernow’s biography of Hamilton, who in Chernow’s view has been the most underrated and misunderstood of the Founding Fathers.

    “A Broadway show is not a documentary,” said Gordon-Reed, a history professor in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences who also holds the Charles Warren Professorship of American Legal History at Harvard Law School and the Carol K. Pforzheimer Professorship at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study.

    “Artists have the right to create,” she added, speaking last week at a student-sponsored event about the musical, “but historians have the right to critique.”

    And so she did.

    Just keep trying to hype the idea the left is against Hamilton. Do you have a point in all of it? Nobody here has spoken against it or is outraged by the show. But you seem fixated with the idea about finding opinions about about some people that supposedly have issues with it.

    So is there a point you are trying to make?

    "Historians irked by musical 'Hamilton' escalate their duel":

    https://www.ctvnews.ca/entertainmen...usical-hamilton-escalate-their-duel-1.4282874

    excerpt:

    Reed, who has not seen "Hamilton" but read it, criticizes the musical as just the latest piece of entertainment that is sympathetic to slave owners. "I say this is a successor to 'Gone With the Wind,"' he said. "But at least in 'Gone With the Wind,' Hattie McDaniel had a speaking part."

    So do you have a point? I'm asking for a second time.
