Check the history book. Here's what ALEXANDER HAMILTON actually looked like.
Compare it to that asshole doing his rap shit. Isn't that offensive?
What next, a Jamaican pretending to be Charles Dickens? A Somali pirate as Long John Silver? A re-write of "Wuthering Heights" where it's a pair of black drag queens?
You probably know that "HAMILTON," the "hip hop" musical, is the hottest ticket on Broadway. The Big Bammer himself, O'Bummer went to see it. Somehow, American history has to be hipped up and tricked up and, for anyone to care about it, given BEATS.
BOOM DA BOOM BOOM. Actually, the only boom in Alexander Hamilton's life was the BANG when he was shot dead by Aaron Burr.
Isn't there something condescending and obnoxious about not allowing an historical figure to be presented as he really was?
The news today is that Hillary Clinton wants the lead actor to sing at the Democratic National Convention. Yeah, she wants the Nigga and Latino vote, and that would be THAT guy, strutting around pretending to be Hamilton With a Tan.
To Hillary Clinton, it's a natural: get minorities to vote. As in, "See, niggas and spics, here are your own, whooping and dancing and strutting as they re-write the story of Alexander Hamilton! American history is fun! Be a part of it NOW!"
Was it that long ago that Dick Shawn got laughs by pretending to be a hip Adolf Hitler in "The Producers?" Would it now be far-fetched to actually see a pro-Hitler musical on Broadway with some guy doing a hipster impression of him?
IF I'M BEING HONEST, I'm feeling like an old fogey, grumbling about "HAMILTON." It's like years ago when good Christians were appalled that Jesus Christ was now a "SUPERSTAR."
Back then, the answer was, "Come on, Dude, be glad that young people are embracing a crazy religion that insists God impregnated a Jewess and created a Messiah he let die."
Now, the answer is: "Come on, Dude, be glad that this "hip hop" musical wasn't about gangstas and ho's but has thuggish looking assholes wearing arcane costumes and impersonating white people."
Alexander Hamilton didn't look like a half-breed from the Dominican Republic. He didn't even have a beard. His friends were more likely to be slave owners than be BLACK.
The good news is that with the white birth rate shrinking all over the world, if there's ANY interest at all in history, it will be happily re-written to almost be parody. You can imagine Kanye deciding he can be Abe Lincoln, or that Jay-Z and Beyonce could be John F. Kennedy and Jackie.
In the U.K., it might be Lenny Henry starring as Disraeli, the Black Jew-Jew. Take poetic license in having him wear a baseball cap backward, with his pants around his thighs. Find some Jamaican chick to play Queen Elizabeth.
Better yet, King Edward conquers his stutter by suddenly bursting out with a set of rap lyrics, delivered while stripping down to gold studs on his pierced nipples and leather underwear designed by Kanye West:
"Yo, I got bling, and I am the king, and here's the thing, it's a message I bring: Hitler's a shitler, he just don't fitler, no not one bitler, and I ain't bitter 'cause I ain't a quitter, I am a hit sir, I conquered my stutter, so gimme some butter, and let me be an up da butt her, as I celebrate bein' great and changin' fate by da way I preach and screech and teach ya...DA KING'S SPEECH!"
It's ALL good, YO.
