So no white actors can portray animals in the lion king. But all white historical figures must only be played by non white actors in Hamilton? (Other than the “baddie” king who is white)

When I read that they were having auditions for Hamilton but no whites were welcome, I decided then and there that I would never spend one dime of my money on it.
To ban someone because of race is against the 1964 civil rights law. A law that was filibustered by the Democrats and only passed because of Rep support, something that is conveniently forgotten by the left.
The man who filibustered it was a Democrat senator and KKK member Robert Byrd. He was rewarded for his efforts by the Democrats by being elected Senate Majority leader and later Minority Leader. God bless the Democrats, hypocrites all.
Please, get history correct. Byrd was kkk at one time and called it an terrible mistake. Shortly after the law passed, the Dem party decided to become the leader in civil rights, the R party in segregation. Byrd went to the right side of history. The Southern Dems became Republicans and have been among the worst of society for decades.
“As a young man in West Virginia, Byrd recruited members to a local KKK chapter and was elected to the post of “exalted cyclops” according to his 2005 autobiography. Later, in 1964, when Byrd had become a Democratic U.S. senator, he stalled and opposed major civil rights legislation.”
I’d say Byrd was among the worst of society when it counted most.
As I have mentioned previously, Byrd was not merely a member of the KKK, but founder of the West Virginia chapter, and served as its highest ranking official.
The very same. Billy Clinton eulogized Bobbie also. He thought Bob was just peachy. If history is to be a guide, the Dem/Soc Party is not the feminist party nor the party that fought for the rights of minorities.
It is the tyranny party that fights against freedom of speech. If they are the party of the black man or woman, how come they support the burning of our cities by Marxist thugs but say nothing about the tens of thousands of black people murdered over the last twenty years in the inner cities?
I do feel obligated to recall that while Bobby Byrd was quite the Klansman in his younger days, at the end of his life, as US Senator from W VA,, he was one of the (few) voices decrying the trashing of constitutional liberties by the GW Bush administration. Quite prophetic, really, given where we are now.
Yes, bobby b did filibuster the 1964 Civil Rights Act, but the bobby b I'm talking about was roughly 2004-2008,when he did voice loud concerns over the direction of the national security state, at a time when that was not common. In many ways, Byrd eearily predicted the mess we are in now.
Not defending the guy, just pointing this fact out. My memory is that Senator Byrd was best known for loving coal and bringing home the federal pork to West Virginia.

Hey, you can't say that! I don't care how true it is!
And Hilary's self-described mentor. But, you know, he "changed" so all good. Imagine if Trump had ever had one photograph taken with, say, SC Senator Strom Thurmond...
This feels like a throw-away but gets more to the point: not only are non-leftists blacklisted in the industry, but we are blacklisted even from attempting to enjoy art. DEI is KKK 2.0

Same here. Bravo!
There are other reasons not to spend one dime of your money on "Hamilton."
Like the fact that it is not particularly _good_. 😀
Actually, it is excellent. But it was a meritocracy, they people they hired were amazing.
Ditto, have no desire to see it.
I did pay to see ACB's Drum Dances on their website. Worth it!!!

If he is such a left wing saint, why did he filibuster the 1964 civil rights bill?
From AP :

You mean Joe Biden's good buddy, Bobby Byrd? The one he had such nice things to say about at his funeral?

If he was such a changed man, how come he filibustered the1964 civil rights bill. Gosh a Democrat criticizing a Republican President. That's unusual.
Byrd was a typical politically motivated politician, nothing more, a rather vile one in my opinion.

He was called the Prince of Pork. I don't think he had an altruistic bone in his body. He was a typical self serving, opportunistic politician.

Watch the hated Fox News on this. Democrats hate this because they hate the truth. Watch the video to the end. It is both shocking and disgusting.

Of course, that law doesn’t apply under DEI. I wonder whether any lawsuits will make it to the Supreme Court?
Never understood that. I didnt really "get" the point of the whole musical in the first place. So I never bothered to try to go.
The book by Ron Chernow was excellent.
What? You didn't want to fork over $300 (or more) per ticket for farce? Or to get booed like Pence.
