    To RUclips: Why we can't write his name? Must we call him like "Sh*tler"? 😏 Don't forget the connection between Volkswagen and Hippies... And we don't need a scapegoat to solve the global problems, or stop the war.

    The word for the part of the ear and the word for tragedy do come from the same place! The word tragedy sort of translates to "goat-song" it may have some thing to do with a prize for a theater competition, or with animal sacrifice. This interview sent me down a research rabbit-hole, and I am grateful. :)

    Ming Peiffer trying her hardest to give any relatively interesting content about racism against people of colour while having no proof whatsoever about the so called prejudice she'd suffered over the years and also being a deadbeat, cocky, entitled, boring ass writter with a god complex because she worked on TV once. Wow, way to go! Ruin lots of people's work and lives because of your allegations and here I am waiting to this day about any of her interview regarding the issue she had experienced in Grand Army pre-production... I mean, where the F are the other people of colour who suffered racism on the show? Aren't they the ones who have something to actually say about it? Stfu Ming...

    Late, but I thought this talk about great. IMO, I feel like people need to understand that Hamilton is just about specific incidents in the man's life rather than an overview of colonial America and I do think it does a good job of showing The Duality of these quote-unquote sacred figures. That said, I feel like the biggest issue with America is that we are finicky whenever the past comes up that we immediately try to bury it and Hamilton somewhat suffered that last year. Only by discussing the good and the bad of the pass will we be able to move forward in a meaningful way. So rather than dog piling on Lin Miranda for not doing what we think you should have done I believe we should Instead try to create our own story and now that people like him that paved the way
