TV critic Alan Sepinwall on why we need 'Hamilton,' arriving tomorrow on Disney+, now more than ever

The version arriving on Disney+ on Friday is stupendous in many ways. It offers the original cast at the peak of their powers, with Daveed Diggs spitting out Lafayette’s rhymes of “Guns and Ships” at lightning speed, and Phillipa Soo taking Eliza Hamilton’s righteous indignation in “Burn” to an even more vocally powerful place than she does on the show’s cast album.

Even before this pandemic rolled along to utterly rewrite the world as we thought we knew it, the optimism of the Obama administration had begun to feel like it happened centuries ago. Social progress isn’t as linear as we might wish, and the last few years have featured white supremacists marching in the streets — and working in the White House — immigrant children in cages, and video after video of brazen, horrific police brutality against people of color.

It’s a four-year-old performance, but every scene, every song, every stylistic device feels acutely current. The idea of having black and brown actors play the founding fathers plays even more potently in this moment when George Floyd’s murder and its aftermath have forced us all to reckon with the racism that has been baked into the American experiment from its beginning.

Even more than in the early days of the 2016 presidential campaign, the show’s depiction of Burr as an empty suit who stands for nothing but his own advancement — whose greatest pleasure comes from campaigning for its own sake, to bask in his supporters’ adoration rather than to argue for anything that might assist them — points a glaring neon arrow towards the current holder of the job Burr tried and failed to win in the election of 1800.

Alex Hamilton's mom & wife's family owned slaves, & Hamilton engaged in the buying & selling of slaves for his in-laws & as the head of the St. Croix branch of Beekman & Cruger. He didn't propose the total abolition of slavery & supported Federalist slave-owner POTUS candidates.

You’ve gotta stay relevant; I suppose

'According to Harvard Law School Professor of History Annette Gordon-Reed, Hamilton bought and sold slaves for his in-laws.' Buying & Selling slaves is racist.... CancelHamilton

This cancelhamilton is BS! Can see that it is BS all the way in East Africa. It's not a big secret that the founding fathers were not angels. But the musical opens up a much needed conversation on America's past. To cancel prevents that.

Racist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How much did Disney pay you to write this article 🤭

Booooooooo!!!! Traitor! You ain’t liberal. CancelHamilton

So, based on ALL the comments. FACT vs FICTION should disneyplus WaltDisneyWorld re release Song of the South and not revamp Splash Mountain? How about Gone With The Wind? Serious question...

I really don't give a shit about this play or the whole 'cancel culture', but I find it hilarious that the people who want to cancel everything that offends them, are defending this liberal drivel of a play, where's the popcorn! CancelHamilton

CancelHamilton

It sucks when your own words show your ridiculousness!! CancelHamilton CancelCulture

CancelHamilton

Hamilton that cheated on his wife and left his kids and took up with another man's wife and eventually shot in a vengeance dual? Remember when your mag was close to cool and relevant? Early 80s in think

Rolling Stone still irrelevant after all these years .....

How is it we need a racist slave trader like Hamilton? The slave trader? Really? CancelHamilton racists BlackLivesMatter

No!!!! CancelHamilton

He not only owned slaves, he TRADED slaves.

We “need” slave traders? Interesting take. cancelhamilton and CancelYale

Where's his solo about his love for slave trading? Or only a white guy should be singing it so his statue could be torn down?

Jefferson started raping Sally Hemings when she was 14 years old and his slave. He was 30 years older than her. Disgusting. The play does not address many serious issues

cancelhamilton

Now the radical left and the TheDemocrats want to Cancel it. What a shame. Every democrat and progressive should be forced to watch this.

Cancel now! cancelhamilton

I’ve read a lot of reply’s and I gotta say, this vindictive attitude people have makes me sick. This left vs right bullshit needs to stop. This show was phenomenal, if you didn’t like it, move the hell on, it’s simple.

He owned slaves. Shhhhhh don’t tell anyone.

Why do we need it, though? What good does it do besides make these characters more “friendly” and when they were horrible? Is it just because the cast is diverse? Because that’s a damn low bar for what we need right now. 🙄

Rolling Stones should be cancelled for promoting a play that glorifies a slave owner

Why so we can trade black slaves?!

CANCEL HAMILTON THE SLAVE TRADER

He bought and sold slaves !!

Hypocrites!!

Give Manhattan back to the Manhatto Native Americans!

just went full on stupid:

We didn't need it before and we don't need it now.

Wow, i’m really surprised at this. Didn’t realize Rolling Stone was still a viable business or even operating any longer.

Who wants to watch this racist show where a black person plays a white character, how racist is that? Do they have to bleach that person's skin?

Legally Blonde the musical Hamilton

Bring out CancelCulture

And let me add: That makes him an asshat! All along I thought he was a dueler or something like that.

I am so offended that Hamilton owned slaves. Someone withheld that from me. Immediate and permanent cancel!

I've kinda got a think about revisionist history.

A slave trader and a slave owner? Disney you are slipping. Cancel

😂 Check your history guys. Simple little search engine search - Hamilton and slaves.

....

Last time Hamilton was mentioned, Comey posted it, then all the Democrats went to Puerto Rico, and Mueller went and traveled for a Russian Hoax.... ALERT... “Russian Hoax” activated!!!

You mean the slave owner and slave seller?! hypocrites

Based on the voice actors situation, shouldn’t the actors in this musical all be replaced with mostly old white British guys, or is their argument just a load of crap?

Uneducated ppl. R epeats O btuseness when they L acks intelligence 2 L earn basic US history & I mportant topic of this N ation,only D left & their G oofy followers R so S tupid not 2 know UShistory T hose that R silence & backs O bscenety against D N ation should b E xpel

Hamilton was a slave owner

Hamilton didn’t just own slaves. He traded in them. Hypocrites

I’m just here on ratio watch.

Hamilton owned and traded slaves. You and this show are just shitstains and neither is worth spending on.

Why does Alexander Hamilton get a pass when George Washington and Thomas Jefferson don’t?

Wait he had slaves , but go in with your show

cancelhamilton. Slaver and black actors playing white people. This is not hard, people. Stop being on the wrong side of history!!!

The slave guy?

How dare anyone participate in this play. Whites must be racist, blacks undoubtedly “Uncle Toms”. Hamilton bought & sold slaves. If you made money off of this play, give it back. It’s dirty money. If you paid to see it, shame on you for supporting something so despicable! Racist!

You don't really know anything about Hamilton, do you?

This offends me... he was a slave owner how could you talk good about him

The musical simplifies and sanitizes history, said Gordon-Reed. “The Hamilton on the stage is more palatable and attractive to modern audiences,” she said.

Really? sux

Did the Capital Steps break up or something? Is there a sudden lack of lame parody songs about government?

I think you need to get your history from somewhere other than Broadway.

So if a white guys wears black face that is wrong. If a white person wears a kimono or a sombrero at Halloween that’s cultural appropriation. Yet, the entire cast of Hamilton can be black, and that’s ok? blackprivilege LiberalLogic

Hamilton really. slaveOwner RapistInChief of blacks and that’s who you’re hanging your hat on bc it has a diverse cast in 2020? LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder Dems DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica BLMTerroristMarxists blmterorist

Slave owner.

So next they will want to ban Amazing Grace.

What a pile of trash. No thanks.

Rolling Stone please hire people who know History.

So some slave owners are cool?

CancelHamilton

FOH.

The slave owner? You're disgusting.

We need you to oust the toxic elements of your work force and learn to DO BETTER.

He openly owned and sold slaves you complete frauds. C

Hypocrisy Runs Deep. So Hamilton is an approved slave owner and the rest are not. Got it. 👌

So are you saying we need slave owners now more than ever? And if so, who do you propose be the slaves? You hate Whites so maybe them? Or Hispanics? Asians? The Irish? Though they served as slaves once already so it hardly seems fair.

Because hypocrisy knows no bounds.

Bahahahaha...you know he owned slaves...bought and sold them for others as well, I believe his wife’s parents...but yeah...GO HAMILTON😂😂

“Rules are for thee, not for me”

Slave owner.slave seller.

A musical.....right.

He owned slaves. Ban the musical immediately.

CancelHamilton

Can someone explain why all these hypocrites from RS to the cast n crew of Hamilton are screaming about 'systemic' racism n BLM while at the same time praising a production based on a SLAVE OWNER n reported rapist of black women?

Disney? The company that is changing anything that is culturally inappropriate? Guess they haven’t realized their double standard yet?

So now slave owners are cool as long as they’re popular musicals? Do I have the intersectionality right?

CancelHamilton

That show is freakin terrible! They tried to be cool and made a mockery out of something that was already as historically cool as it gets. It also relied purely on superficial meme-like rap lyrics that cannot do justice to the deep intellect of the founders.

Uhhh guys, Alexander Hamilton was only an abolitionist until it interferes with his self interests. Make no mistake he profited from the slave trade (his wife’s family was a prominent New York slaveowning family as well - the Schuylers). But put some music to it and it’s ok...smh

The slave owner? If you want to get rid of Washington and Jefferson, then why not Hamilton? Hypocrites

Ignorant tweet. Go read some history

You didn’t know he owned slaves too and sold them like others ? You epic frauds 🤮

You dont seem to know who Alexander Hamilton was.

He was a slave owner too

That false portrayal is so laughable! Hamilton would have been against BLM, instead they rewrite history for entertainment and everyone thinks it's the truth! smh

Hamilton owned slaves. This shows your agenda is full of hypocrisy. Hamilton was a white guy so under your rules this is cultural appropriation and Hamilton should only be played by a white guy. Those are the liberal rules.

Burn that play to the ground! Isn't that what you losers do to memories of slave traders..?

Because some slave owners are better than others? STFU

He owned, bought and sold slaves you idiots!

🙄He was a slave trader!

Might open a history book before writing this crap.... Huge fail LMAO.

SLAVE OWNER 😱😱😱😱😱 I guess you’ll give him a pass because Commiecrats are making money off him, right?

He bought and sold slaves for his in laws, was an elitist who looked down on immigrants and a big fan of the British monarchy. Glad that we're celebrating a racist.

You realize he was a slave owner right?

You realize he had slaves, right?🤔

Rolling Stone support slave owners and traders ,who would have tought , I demand immediate ban on these racist Left wing Fascist !

Im shocked Rolling Stone are incredible hypocrites

Call in the cancel culture. Rolling stone yours days are now numbered.

I actually loved the musical, but this thread is hilarious! And, no, no we do not need the slave owner. Hypocrites.

Wow! is supporting racist slave owners. CancelRollingStone! CancelHamilton! HamiltonOwnedSlaves!

Literally owned slaves ... liberalismisamentaldisorder LiberalHypocrisy

The actor who portrayed this slave-owning Hamilton guy must apologize and should be banned from ever acting again.

You played yourself. Like Jefferson, Washington and the rest - Hamilton owned slaves. Don’t let your wokeness get ahead of your high school history class.

Revisionist history and woke plays do not change facts. Hamilton was not outspoken against slavery, in fact way less than Jefferson and Franklin who wrote numerous articles about the immorality of slavery. Hamilton subjugated his views on slaves in favor of property ownership

Not only was the white guy Hamilton not a big help to end slavery, he facilitated the sale of slaves for his brother in law.

Hamilton, a white guy, didnt even work very hard to end slavery.

Y’all realize that the show skipped the part about him owning slaves, right?

Ackshully...Hamilton should be cancelled if the Marxist Left is applying their own rules correctly

Because of the cast, Lin Manuel Miranda and Broadway, the over-educated, leftist braindead set don’t associate Hamilton with being white.

The slave owner? How offensive.

Hamilton bought and sold slaves.

Pandering cucks.

How dare you promote slave owners!! Tear down all the Hamilton statues & paintings!!

He owned slaves. Who are the editors of rolling stone anyway? Anyone?

Hamilton was a slave owner. Drop the show

Is it because he bought and sold slaves for his in-laws? Just curious.

Hamilton traded slaves. Being WOKE obviously doesn’t mean educated.

Hamilton was a slave owner!

He was a slave owner

Rolling Store, you are complete hypocrites, he owned and traded slaves, but the “show” is so woke we have to honor it. fail clowns CancelCultureHypocrisy HamiltonFilm

Slave owner.

Why a solid history Education is needed more than ever. My 12 year old knows more accurate history.

Woke crowd apparently not aware the Hamilton bought, sold, gifted, beat and raped his slaves but, damn he’s soooo cool...Hamilton

Slave owner? You clowns have been smoking too much weed!

Because he was a slave owner?

Celebrating a slave owner who raped black women; bought & sold slaves.

We need slave owners? I thought you people were woke.

Hamilton Bought and Sold Slaves. Yet your woke hind parts are glorifying him while cancelling others? Hypocrites = Left

The Battle of Gettysburg was fought July 1–3, 1863, in and around the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, by Union and Confederate forces during the American Civil War.

So you endorse slavery, got it.

Hamilton owned slaves you unbelievable dipshits

Take your slave owner worship somewhere else

DNC Hamilton was a slaver, lol

You mean the slave owner?

Alexander Hamilton owned slaves and sold them to in-laws. Rolling Stone loves their slave owners...😖

Yes we need to celebrate the original American central banker But tear down Jefferson Fucking genius Did you get a free toy with your history education?

Hypocrisy 101 ☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️

owned and bought slaves also

Selective outrage, selective Honor. Rolling Stone is run by juveniles. Who would pay to read the drivel.

CancelHamilton sorry.

Since we are being culturally sensitive, how about replacing the entire cast with what Hamilton and his buddies actually looked like.

The slave owner?

🤡

MuhSlavery BlackLivesMatter

Shyeah, riiight. Actually its the worst musical ever written. Let's not also forget how Lin_Manuel & cast taunted Vice President Pence, who was in the audience of Hamilton Nov. 18. 2016, out of fear that same-sex marriage was going to be repealed.

It's not ethical. Black people are playing white people. I thought everyone was supposed to play their own race now?

I mean, are we all really that surprised that leftists don't know American history? They're too busy spending all their time in gender studies and being outraged at everything.

shittymagazine

Don't ask questions. Just consume product and get excited for next product. You do know that people are losing their jobs as well as much worse and your answer is hamilton.

Huh

Not only was Hamilton a slave owner, he was an elitist who believed people were too stupid to self-govern and so we needed a ruling class. Talk about ignorance by the Rolling Stone liberal rag.

Didn't he own and rape slaves? You need him now more than ever

Idiots behind this tweet

Fools

You mean the guy who owned slaves? That 'Hamilton'? You guys can't keep your narrative consistent!!!

Slave owner Hamilton?

I will never watch this production after the disgraceful way the cast treated Mike Pence.

Go read the Federalist papers. He wrote 51 of them. All of them were written to protect against what the left is doing now. And none of them were written to allow it. Your shell statement is empty inside.

You do realize he owned slaves? According to the leftwing nutjobs he needs to be removed from history.

So Hamilton, a fomer slave owner, is ok because of a black cast? Also, why can a black person play a white person but the reverse is racist? When are people going to realize the left is manipulating them.?

The Hamilton who bought & sold slaves? The Hamilton who married into a slaveholding family? That Hamilton!

Slave owner. He must be cancelled. Sorry, I don’t make up the rules.

You mean the guy who bought and sold slaves? hypocrites

We need historical “facts” now more than ever.

If you rap it, it makes it all ok

He had slaves just like every other founding father you are trying to erase from history 🤷🏻‍♂️

We need a slave trader? Why?

So you're pro slavery ? WOW. racist

Owned slaves... but that’s easily forgotten right... I mean just a lot of slaves bought and sold by him.

You mean the guy who owned slaves?

Hypocrite much?

Rolling Stone advocates for Slave Owner Alexander Hamilton, yet refuses to see the hypocrisy. But loves the revisionist history. In reality, they love selling their crap to the ignorant young people. Cancel Rolling Stone.

You mean the slave owning 'Hamilton'?

Blackwashing history

Cancel Hamilton!!!

Hamilton was a slave owner and trader. Cancel this play.

Rules are rules cancel Hamilton

We need honest unbiased journalism now more than ever

Such hypocrites.... Hamilton owned slaves... but wait because those creating this play hate America, it's okay that they celebrate a slave owner? Their history is okay (even though it's flawed) but actually history must be destroyed? Explain HamiltonMusical Disney Hypocrites

Hamilton was a slave owner, silly fa$&ots.

Isn’t that cultural appropriation? And if white people can’t play characters based on people of color, then why are people of color playing characters based upon white people?

Cultural appropriation.

Screw this!! They had a NO WHITE casting call in place!!

HYPOCRITE

Rolling Stone coming out with one loss after another.

So all these brown and black actors playing racist white people is ok and we all “need” it right now but the real people they are portraying are racist and we must destroy everything about them?

You need to do a little research on Hamilton ...

He was a slave owner !

More rich white slave owners?!?! Nah bro

The ratio

So Hamilton owned slaves. Lincoln fought to free the slaves. Massive more white people died to free the slaves than their were slaves.

It’s a hard pass. These are the same actors who were so rude and disrespectful to our Vice President!! Disgusting. We disagree with democrat president’s but never publicly tried to humiliate them.

He owned and sold Slaves! Give it a rest! hamiltonslaveowner NAACP KingJames Oprah johnlegend VanJones68 kanyewest

Hamilton owned and sold slaves and now he's a hero, I am so confused.

Hamilton owned slaves but it’s not racist bc broadway and Disney made money off it. Got it.

Who’s going to tell the people he was a slave trader?

Ratio! 😆😆🤣🤣🤣

Why is this slave owner better than the other slave owners?

I thought this was just more Racist propaganda Frauds

Nope!

Got ratio?

uh he was a slave owner.

More Hamilton's? You should do your homework. Here, I'll help with that. P.S. I learned this in HS history class. Pity it isn't taught anymore.

So much ignorance, hypocrisy and lack of self awareness in such a short tweet.

Trump is working to destroy the Satanic elite...that's why you don't like him.

Because he owned and sold slaves? Like, that shit happened but go off...

Someone tweeted that Hamilton owned slaves. Where's the outrage?

He bought and sold slaves 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Continue to pick and choose

Fick Hamilton

Get educated and unbiased for once!!!! 🙄

Nope 👎

Cats the movie is a masterpiece compared to the crap fest that is Hamilton!

We absolutely do NOT need Hamilton...but his story is a part of our history. The play is good for entertainment purposes only. Stop trying to be an activist magazine.

Shouldn’t that show be set on fire I mean, Hamilton owned slaves, soooo..... I mean, since we’re setting ALL slave owners on fire ......

So some folks have redeeming qualities? Slow to the game, RS.

Hamilton was not Puerto Rican. Couldn’t they find a caucasian to play the part? That is cultural appropriation. 😡😡

Its cultural misappropriation to have a different race portraying white presidents.

No one needs it.

A slave owner? Really?

CancelHamilton he was a slave owner and part time slave trader

roll your stone right off a cliff please

You do realize how hypocritical you sound? Hamilton owned, bought and sold slaves and even did it for friends and family....do you really think we need more of that?

Rolling stone is racist

Slave owners? Wtf?

Goofball

Hamilton was a slave owner. Support of this play speaks to the fraud that is all the racial virtue signaling of the last month. By liberal logic, there should be howls of protest and demands this show never be performed again. And the cast members should issue public apologies.

BLM is gonna cancel Hamilton, right? I mean, he bought and sold slaves!!!

Why you are a useless, irrelevant rag, not even fit for kitty litter.

Wait..so, Hamilton owned slaves. He was a serial cheater on his wife. He believed in a form of government that never took off (Federalism), but yeah, lets celebrate all that because liberals say it's ok. One rule for me, another for thee. CancelCulture

This is the left unable to keep up with their own virtue signalling, lol

This might be the most idiotic article of all time LOL

Slave owner!!

He owned slaves. Oops

Hamilton owned slaves. The left would do better if they learned to read a book.

We need Hamilton to remind us that a Democrat would rather shoot you than disagree with you.

Odd, is it because he was a slave owner? 🤔. Here I thought you didn’t like “those people”.

I thought we were canceling slave owners.

😆

Sorry hypocrites but if a statue of Abe Lincoln who freed the slaves offends you, then Hamilton has to go. Your rules, you need to live with them!

So Hamilton is a cool slave owner right?

no one in journalism today does any research.

CancelHamiltonSlaver

If white actors can't play black or minority actors on the Simpsons. Why is it ok for POC to play white historical figures Is the irony lost on everyone how asinine the cancel culture narrative is

You have the IQ of a mushroom.

Why we need a slave owner lol

Yes, glorifying a slave owner is just what we need.

Ahhhhhhhh so Hamilton is ok? Good god the hypocrisy runs rampant!!! Perhaps do a little research on him and if you still say it’s ok, then the argument against all others is now dead! Put the statues back up!!!

Obviously whoever is responsible for this article is a moron who didn’t pay attention in school or research anything. Hamilton was a slaver owner and trader

Hamilton the slave owner and trader?

You're correct in the sense we need the ElectoralCollege

We never needed this overrated racist play

Do a little research 1st rolling stones. Oh wait. Your rag is not known for research before printing. What was that story involving rapr and.........

Owned and sold slaves, is that what you need

Lmao the hypocrisy is laughable I'm guessing only certain slave owners are attacked ..and wow live streamed on Disney with direct connections to Epstein. Yeah nothing to see here 🙄

Slave owner.

So, about that whole actors only playing parts that match their own race thing...

Hamilton owned and sold slaves. CancelHamilton

Pathetic....

Why don't they song about him buying and selling slaves? You know? The TRUTH! Put some funk on that!

Nope...I want it gone. I'm offended AF

hailing a slave owner? Hillary-ous sillyliberals

You mean a slave trader? CancelHamilton

What f’ng idiots at Rolling Stone. Not a shocker though, right?

You obviously don't know Hamilton. LOL I knew there was a reason I never read your BS.

I thought actors were only allowed to play the role of their own race? what happened? Oh and as it has already been pointed out Hamilton was a slave owner/trader. Way to glorify slavery you racist.

That’s how to stop with the statues being torn down. Write a popular musical about Washington and the statues won’t go anywhere. It will be ok then.

Wait...Alexander Hamilton was hispanic?

real

The slave trader?

This article is garbage and why are you criticizing Trump for pandemics and immigrant children in cages? Those things happened under Obama too 🤦🏼‍♀️( and btw the correct term is illegal immigrants, not immigrants )

He was a slave owner too- is that your point?

Byrd! The musical! We need it now more than ever.

So rolling stone is cool with slave owners...lol

He owned slaves you rag of a magazine.. time to cancel

You mean the slave owner Hamilton?

Hamilton was an elitist who owned slaves..

How STUPID are you?

So, some slave owners and traders are ok? I'm confused.

“Hamilton” is cultural appropriation.

Hamilton was a slave owner you frauds

He owned slaves. So did Mohammad. Ouch.

Ha! Pick up a history book sometime. I love the play but are you really this ignorant?

Because he owned slaves?

Didn’t Hamilton own slaves?

Hey, remember that time when you guys wrote that story about a girl getting raped on campus and it turned out to be a total fabrication? And you guys ruined the lives of a couple of young men and it was all lies? Remember that? This is that. Hamilton was an awful man.

RIP Rolling Stone Ragazine.

Personally, I like the musical. However, rules are now that because he owned slaves so it needs to be cancelled.

This show needs to stop immediately. I am triggered because he owned and traded slaves. Also why the heck is a colored man playing a white man. Offensive to us white people.

Rolling stone tries to be woke, forgets history that Hamilton was a slave owner. Is Rollingstone condoning this now?

You're crazy Stone's!

Bought and sold slaves btw most likely a racist too

Why Rolling Stone is a Joke Part 5,482,713

The whole destroying statue/history make no sense if this is allowed to go on...

Get over it...go after dems, ccp, waslams, rinos if you wanna get rid of slavery....they specialize in it.. the civil war was NOT fought over slavery but over states keeping the rights that the north wanted to take; north succeeded; look where we are now. Get feds out of states

He owned slaves you hypocrites.

Slave trade Hamilton?

Like all people, especially those of the era, he was problematic by today's standards. But he is an important figure and his contributions are worth studying.

No, our country needs to learn and respect our actual history right now, not some stylized fiction. The Left thinks it can rewrite history from their safe spaces and destroy anyone who speaks the truth. Those who refuse to accept our history and culture will be invited to leave.

Hamilton was a slave trader ...Lincoln freed the slaves fought a war to do it against DEMOCRATS and DEMOCRATS murdered him for it .....GUESS WHO THE DEMOCRATS PRAISE ...

Slave owner

Slave owner. But you know that don’t you?

I'm old enough to remember when the radical left was trying to get his image removed from US currency.

Tisk, Tisk he wasn't black.

LMFAO!! HE 😂🤣😂 OWNED & SOLD SLAVES! 🤣😂🤣 AND HE WAS WHITE.

You left-wing lunatics he owned traded and sold slaves himself you can't even get anything right

Yea to be canceled. Wtf Hamilton owned and sold slaves.

I don't think you even know who Alexander Hamilton was. Open up a history book and get educated. If you even know what that word is.

Lack of self awareness is staggering

This...👇 & quite apart from being the original champion of a Central Bank & therefore one of the progenitors of perennial debt slavery... great guy... NOT.

He bought and sold slaves for his in-laws, and opposing slavery was never at the forefront of his agenda. But hey, we don’t live in a world that cares about truth, so carry on....

Why would we need a slave owner now? Does Rolling Stone know something the people don’t?

He bought and sold slaves.

Hamilton owned slaves!

What’s Lewis Hamilton got to do with it.

Strike the name Jefferson, Washington et al, from our history. For those named such, banish from Native American soil forever. Blacks, whites, browns, yellows are no longer welcome. I'll gi last.

Slave trader Hamilton? That one? Shirley you jest.

In this age of it not being ok for voice actors to voice cartoons of a differing ethnicity than themselves, why hasn’t “Hamilton” been called out and canceled yet?

Where's cancel culture on this🤡🧐

So he was a good slave owner?

BOYCOTT THE ROLLING STONES!! Don’t buy their music and don’t go to their concerts.

Stop the show. This fcker owned SLAVES. BLM

Yeah, and he was a gun owner — though that didn’t work out too well for him.

Well this is embarrassing, Rolling Stone didn't do any research, just assumed watching the musical Hamilton told them everything about Hamilton the person. Oooof!!! Epic Failure.

Stupid. Incredibly stupid. It's entertaining and totally inaccurate historically.

Hamiltonisoverparty

This is as idiotic as it gets.

During these troublesome times we should not be glorifying Hamilton. takeitdowndisney

It's complete and utter nonsense.

Imbeciles

The hypocrisy is sickening.

Wasn't Hamilton a slave owner?

Because slave owners are cool if it fits the narrative....you’re all so epically and hypocritically stupid.

So its okay to have minorities fill the roles of white characters? 🤨 But not vice versa? DoubleStandards Hypocrites LiberalLunacy CancelCulture

Why, are you in a need of slaves?

Dopes!! Slave owner! You guys so ignorant

He owned slaves. He needs to go!

Nah.

He was a slave owner. Cancel Hamilton, cancel the musical, the movie and everyone who participated in them.

Why are blacks playing white people? I'm not watching this racist shit.

Do you people even KNOW anything about history?

Ok. You do know he owned, bought and sold slaves, right? Maybe you idiots should actually learn history instead of trying to erase and rewrite it.

SLAVEOWNER pick up a history book already. 📖

Even though Hamilton bought & owned slaves. 🤔

Too funny how woke they are. Slave owner, but that's okay if it's a liberal rag supporting it!

Wasn't Hamilton white?

cancelhamilton

Lmao. Enough liberal whining and b.s.. Wah wah grow up.

Are you a real magazine? Do some Real Hamilton research.

He bought and sold slaves, morons.

Didn't he own slaves? Wasn't he also a slave trader? Seems like 'Hamilton' should ne canceled permanently.

Why? Because he owned slaves? Because he bought and sold human beings? Seriously why?

No thanks, CancelHamilton

You mean the guy who bought and sold slaves for his in-laws? That Hamilton?

So now you like slave owners?

I saw hamiltonchicago for the 1st time the weekend before the 2016 election. I thought we were about to elect the 1st woman president of the US...guess what? Democracy takes work! History has its eyes on you! What will you do?

Are you freaking kidding me RS?! Are your readers that ignorant about the history of Hamilton? WakeUpAmerica Trump2020NowMoreThanEver

He bought slaves for himself and others and worked at a business that used slaves as a commodity. When does his statue come down?

He owned slaves . This is racist. I demand you stop all shows

Hamilton was a slave owner. Check your history

Rename Yale

This is why no one takes the media seriously.

Didn’t Hamilton own and trade slaves?

FakeNews

Hamilton owned slaves, you frauds.

This racist show needs to be cancelled immediately. 👍🏾✌🏾

You people are nuts and stupid. Did you do a background on Hamilton?

🤡. Hamilton was a slave owner. cancelhamilton

Rolling Stone is Racist... PC Mob Attack....

Slave owner

He owned slaves. Hold on. Checking 'Liberal' playbook. Yep you have to cancel him. Sorry it's the rules. 'Insert Sad Emoji Face.'

🤦‍♂️

We need Hamilton just not shitty musicals.

Money.

All slave owners bad 🤔 or just some

Do you even know what your talking about? Hamilton owned slaves and also brokered them for Family. Your nothing but “HEADLINE” Frauds. Does any media do research anymore? Pathetic

“He bought and sold slaves for his in-laws, and opposing slavery was never at the forefront of his agenda.'

Cancel anyone named HAMILTON! Blood crimes are now considered WOKE!

Cocksuckers

Hamilton was a slave owner. Aaron Burr did nothing wrong.

Perhaps you need to put “Hamilton“ into context

Hamilton was a slave trader 🤷‍♂️

But it was hip hop Play? So that’s all good

Alexander Hamilton owned slaves you clowns.

'Corruption is the best form of Government.' - Alexander Hamilton

lmao all the whiney white men and women saying Hamilton was an awful person who owned slaves we fuckin know it's a musical babies, stop getting so pressed over a musical 😘 we need the MUSICAL now more than ever because it was a broadway breakthrough and incredibly diverse

The slave trader?

Shutdownfh JusticeForVanessaGuillen

Oh my goodness. The musical is not the history.

Hamilton owned slaves

Why?

Cancel Hamilton!!!! Hahahahaha

Hamilton owned slaves.

Hamilton also created the evillllll Electoral College. Funny, no song about that, either.

Hamilton was white and had slaves..you racist!

I made a whole vid about how this show is just NON STOP but the whole thing about the show finally being in the hands of everyone in the world is magical and will change the world hamilton

Cultural appropriation.

Shouldn’t the actors portraying the characters be culturally appropriate? Isn’t that a thing now?

Gonna need a flow chart to navigate this selective cancel culture

Do we though?

Wasn’t he a broker of slaves?

Rolling Stone has become a fucking national embarrassment

Yes, more cultural appropriations!

Hamilton, the guy who both owned and sold slaves? That Hamilton? Okay . . .

Why? Oh, let me guess. Because he was a slave trader? Am I right? Lol. FO!!

Democrats darling slave trader is totes crushing it right now.

A Slave Owner? I thought that wasn't the 'in' thing right now.

Hamilton bought and sold slaves and while we are at it, shouldn’t the character be played the same race Hamilton was?

Soooo, slave traders are good now? Emancipation statues must be eliminated, but musicals about slave traders are great. Don’t even get me started about black actors playing white historical figures, how can that be? Y’all are a bunch of twisted up fools.

Nobody needs Hamilton.

Hamilton was a slave owner stupid!!!!! is Racist LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

The slave trader?

Uh, no.

These ‘Hamilton was a slave owner’ comments from conservatives are stupid. Stop, you don’t know what you’re talking about. He’s been a conservative hero for decades and should remain one.

Derp

No founder of this country more clearly envisioned the greatness of a future empire enabled by drastic inequalities of wealth and power

❓ Dr Sir Mrs. Renselaaer has requested me to write to you concerning a negro... and you are requested if Major Jackson will part with him to purchase his remaining time for Mrs. Church and to send him on to me. Alexr. Hamilton New York Novr. 11. 1784

SlaveTrader

Bro...he sold and owned slaves.

Slave trader

Attn woke leftists: Alexander Hamilton bought & sold slaves for his in-laws. Making the cast POC & soundtrack hip-hop, apparently rewrites history enough to earn the woke blessing. The Founding Fathers were flawed men of their times. It’s still OK to honor their accomplishments!!

But.... slaves

Hamilton bought and sold slaves. Hamilton has to be canceled.

So we're condemning only some slavery?

Didn’t Hamilton buy and sell slaves, do your homework!

The slave trade is good again

BULLSHIT

Take a break from destroying statues of racist founding fathers and watch Hamilton The Movie about racist founding fathers. Please understand profits are more important than righteous indignation. You too can be hypocritical.

What are you talking about? Hamilton bought and sold slaves. In addition, the play is, if we were to apply the “rules” evenly, cultural appropriation. (I don’t believe that cultural appropriation is a problem, but I know many do.)

You don’t even know what that means. It’s not your fault. You’ve been indoctrinated rather than educated.

He bought and sold slaves....

Slave trader cancel Hamilton

HAMILTON WAS A SCUM BAG.

Hamilton was a slave owner. I guess Rolling Stone supports that.

You mean the guy who bought and sold slaves? He needs to be cancelled.

It’s culturally inappropriate.

Get a life losers.

Didnt Hamilton buy and sell slaves? Yep.

this ain't it

Hamilton the slave owner?

Hamilton was a slave owner. Besides... it’s a shit show and would NEVER watch it.

Hamilton bought and sold slaves!

So Hamilton is one of the GOOD slave traders? I'm so confused

Oh no no no don’t support Hamilton since you don’t support racism...

No. We need Burr even more.

Didn’t Hamilton buy and sell slaves?....

'Some slave owners are better than others'

Wow. Just, wow. 😂

Wait, the Hamilton that bought and sold slaves? Also, why can this be ok but the guy who voiced Cleveland has to step down?

He was an absolute legend but not for any reason you mush headed libs and Marxists would approve of.

Hamilton was a slave trader. Tear down the statues NOW and CancelHamilton

So you support slave trading? Weird.

Hamilton was a gay Puerto Rican so it’s okay if he owned a bunch of black people.

Hamilton bought and sold slaves.

Nope, he was a slave trader, he must be canceled.

So we need minority actors playing white slave owners while singing and dancing and cracking jokes?

Nope.

DELETE THIS!

Slave owner.....cancel

Hamilton bought and sold slaves

Because he bought and sold slaves?

Slave owner

The musical we really need.

Why do we need a slave owner?

Um HAMILTON OWNED SLAVES. My God, the lack of self awareness from these lefty publications these days is hilarious

I thought slave owners were canceled 😂🤣😂🤡🤡🌎🌎

He was involved in slave trade. So.

So if white actors can’t portray anything other than a white, fictional character why is it ok for POC actors to portray actual white people that existed? Sounds like hypocrisy to me.

Wow, racist much?

Absolutely not

why do you promote slavery?

It is wrong for people of color to appropriate the roles of white people.

He was a brutal slave owner. Apparently that doesn’t matter only statues who own slaves are evil. Hypocrites.

Why do we need a slaveholder now more than ever?

Next week's Rolling Stone: Why Hamilton White Supremecy Problematic Cancel

Hamilton was a racist slave trader. Delete this.

Cultural appropriation only counts for certain groups...

You mean the guy that bought and sold slaves? That Hamilton?

More slave traders

Another white slave trader/ owner? GTFOH

He was a slave trader I think so not sure this is the best take tbh

Hamilton was a slave owner. Rolling Stone loves the Confederacy! Rolling Stone hates George Floyd and loves (checks notes) 401k plans!

Hamilton was a slave owner, woke folks.

He owned slaves.

Hamilton bought and sold slaves. But don't tell the liberals and the woke their favorite broadway show should be canceled.

I really hope our society can one day get to a place where we look back at Hamilton for the really bizarre attempt to whitewash genocidal slavers that it was.

sepinwall Gtfoh

Lol Nope

🤢

No we don’t

sepinwall it's an enjoyable musical. what it absolutely is not is Important or Politics. it's an already dated emblem of how hollow and smug clinton-obama era liberalism is

sepinwall We Who is 'we'? Is 'we' an acronym for 'white enclaves' or something

I've never seen it before. Looking forward to watching it.

No 'we' don't. Overrated and overhyped.
