Hamilton no longer woke enough

If you haven't heard, the guy behind the Hamilton musical has to be canceled now. Doesn't hate the Founders enough.

There is much today’s anti-America rioters have to object to in the hit musical. It is patriotic and aspirational. Even worse, “Hamilton” upholds 1776 over 1619 as our true founding.

I haven't seen the play myself, but the article says it basically takes the traditional civil rights view of the founding as a promissory note, rather then a scam.
