Does this make a mockery of American Presidents?


Lin Manuel Miranda is an America hating communist, so it probably does.

Not sure, but it's a musical, so I'm never gonna see it anyways.

Don't know because I haven't seen it and never will. Good luck to them, but hip-hopping POC as the Founding Fathers just isn't my cup of tea.

You know i thought it was going to throw me off too, but you just learn to ignore that as it goes on. It really gets better after the intermission.

I have not seen it. After Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, I doubt this can be more of a mockery.

No, it doesn’t.

Agreed, they were represented with respect. Can’t say the same for King George though :)

He also hates our president and funded the opposing party's campaign back in 2015-16.

The fact that you have a bunch of non-white people playing historically white people is what's so mocking. It's one thing to do it to a fairy-tale or sci-fi story; it's another with people who actually existed. Imagine the outrage if someone had the nerve to cast a black Queen Elizabeth I someday. Or a black Henry VIII. The British would be furious over that!

Of Jefferson only.
