Jared Miller on how Hamilton the musical glorifies fatherlessness in the black community

Another problem with Hamilton the musical is that it glorifies fatherlessness instead of pointing to the obvious detriments it has had on society and the black community. Alexander Hamilton’s father abandoned him and his family at a young age as the man was a bigamist and fled to escape prosecution.

‘Hamilton’, through the statistically unlikely success of its muse, seems to portray fatherlessness (something exceeding 77 percent in black communities) as an advantage or an inspiration that can lead to a revolution rather than a negative cultural trend that has caused significant suffering for communities it affects the greatest. 

BLM and Antifa members clearly believe in this kind of revolution as members often have ‘Hamilton’ songs and quotes plastered across their social media pages as they tear down statues of our founders and vandalize crosses in graveyards and church buildings.

Micah Curtis on Antifa

One of my biggest issues since the death of George Floyd and the beginning of the riots has been the complete and total lack of honesty when it comes to Antifa. This is not just a group of people that dislikes far-right politics. Their name stands for anti-fascist action, but it is intellectually dishonest to look at what they are doing and think this has anything to do with fighting fascism. Their goal is revolution, and it’s likely that if you were to ask them if they think that Pol Pot did anything wrong, their answer would be no.
