My incredible goodposting transcends time and space but still it cannot transform the xbone into a good console.

You know how theres always some enormously awkward catastrophe that kills whatever topical slang or move of an era, like how miley cyrus buried twerking and your dad ruined fo shizzle

Hamilton is looking to succeed where Macklemore failed, and kill rap as a popular genre for good

:aaaaaa:

Usually only racists pretend they have no racism, being completely free of racism is a fantasy.

I'm super not racist but I'm probably unconsciously still racist in a lot of ways, because I was raised in a racist society.

That song sounds like something a white person (death to all whites!) wrote to justify their racism, using oppressed minorities with Stockholm Syndrome to try to justify their bad and wrong point. :v:

(it's good)

I spent the first three months of my Hamilton exposure being annoyed by it. I slowly began paying attention to it, and noticed that there is a ton of beautiful things in it.

Try the songs. They are quite good!

"Wait for it" (could easily be a single on the radio)

"Schuyler Sisters" (70s motown(?) -- song actually starts at 20 seconds in)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZdrzOdd8Kw

"Satisfied," which is a highly creative song that features an actual performed "rewind". The singer, Angelica, is performing her wedding toast to her sister, but is actually reliving/regretting her snap judgement decision to let Eliza have Hamilton instead of keeping him for herself.

If you like these, there are about 40 other songs in the show that deliver 27000+ words in 2.5 hours. Hamilton is an amazing musical.

The Room Where It Happens is the best song and makes me feel things. Things about politics.

Whites should not be allowed to call people racist because the point of the term is to give us something to yell back at whites when the racial slurs come out (since there are no good slurs against whites because they control the langauge and society)

Two wrongs make a right. Yes, I see! It's so clear now.

Hamilton is bad

Its badness is self-evident in that every peeson I know who was surprised with it (heard it without knowing what it was) thought it was embarrassing and dumb

Is it... inauthentic... somehow? Explain.
