Not Only That! It Was Proven That The People Who Lived There Were Middle Class People, With Good Jobs

Not only that! It was proven that the people who lived there were middle class people, with good jobs and great communities. The area was even multicultural and people of different races attended school and church together, which was unheard of anywhere else in America at the time! But the upper class of Manhatten still wanted their park. VOX made a super informative video on the subject, which I recomend everyone to watch:

Seneca Village. Ever heard of it? Probably not, because now it’s known as Central Park. 200 some odd years ago, freed African American slaves FINALLY got land of their own. They built schools, churches, parks for children, and it was quite the thriving little community. Until it was bulldozed. Houses destroyed, community ripped to shreds, churches/schools demolished. To make a park. How I never learned about this ridiculous shit in school is beyond me.

You know what

People really actually say “Oh Hamilton is on par with nazi propaganda because it glorifies racist men uwu” when the entire point of the musical was to paint the racist America with an ALL POC CAST  in a MUSIC STYLE THAT WAS INVENTED BY POC created by a GODDAMN LATINO MAN WHO REGULARLY PERFORMS SAID MUSIC STYLE LITERALLY FOR A LIVING. 

Why the HELL do you think the recurring message of immigrants being the lifeblood of the nation was so prominent? Why do you think they consistently brought up racism and being against slavery, why do you think every single racist white founding father was played by a person of color? 

Like seriously, the entire reason the musical was made was for POC to see themselves on stage and to see THEMSELVES in the place of old racist white guys. The message was that America was built by immigrants and people of color. 

Both fans and people who hate this musical just completely missed the entire point, and that is a goddamn shame because it really is a good musical if you have the audacity to *gasp* understand that things are not Exactly What is On The Package? Perhaps? 

Or even perhaps actually listen to the musical instead of parroting some white person trying to grab at woke points? Maybe?

People remembered to wear their facemasks and keep their distance as much as possible, so that Norway could continue the incredible low amount of people who are sick with covid-19.

Norwegian celebrity Tinashe Williamson was moved to tears by the support. «I’m proud to be Norwegian» she said, as she protested with her daughter (10) and thousands of others in Oslo.

Heritier Victorious Kisamu (6) was the first to go down on one knee in Bergen. Soon the rest of the protestors joined him to show their support for Black Lives Matter.

“I always remember having this fight with a random dude who claimed that ‘straight white men’ were the only true innovators. His prime example for this was the computer… the computer… THE COMPUTER!!! THE COM-PU-TER!!!

Alan Turing - Gay man and ‘father of computing’ Wren operating Bombe - The code cracking computers of the 2nd world war were entirely run by women Katherine Johnson - African American NASA mathematician and ‘Human computer’ Ada Lovelace - arguably the 1st computer programmer”
