“As A Contemporary Woman, I Have A Sense Of Agency That They Did Not Have…If They Could Do The Impossible,

“As a contemporary woman, I have a sense of agency that they did not have…If they could do the impossible, with the resources that we have at our disposal, I think we can deal with the mentality that is resurging and reinserting itself into our culture.”

Here’s Octavia Spencer on the lasting effects of misogyny and racism in the STEM fields, the importance of education, and how she was influenced by the real-life women who inspired Hidden Figures.

OK YOUR SO SMART AND I AGREE W YOU 1000%

On the Lin/Hamilton discourse...

I’m not sure how to feel about Lin’s approach or his intentions about putting the founding fathers in a good light/essentially whitewashing history (because yes, Hamilton was an abolitionist, but he still owned slaves and Jefferson had “mistresses” but it would be more fitting to just call him a rapist). I understand that he demonstrates that they are human and complex; they’re layered and flawed; that they were racist, yet intelligent. I get that. But at the end of listening to Hamilton you’re still left with…appreciating them and kind of ignoring their faults (including myself). And their faults weren’t small…they’re major. They’re just as equal as their accomplishments because they were so horrendous that they are responsible for the exact systematic racism we see today. And Lin knows this. As a man of color and as someone who is bright and educated, he is aware of this.

So….that is where I’m lost. I have read an analysis that suggests that the history of Hamilton isn’t necessarily the driving point of the musical and what makes it ground breaking in nature- but rather it’s about its placing of people of color in the narrative. the way in how the nuances of our country suddenly become more interesting and relatable when we see ourselves reflected in the very thing white people oppressed us to not take part of (politics, human rights, overall founding of US), which is why King George is ALWAYS white. that, essentially, Hamilton is mainly about nonwhites taking back the narrative and not being the chapter 14 in the APUSH textbook that talks about culture and race, but being the entire story itself. and if that’s the case, it’s makes sense in the way how it was written, with a playful tone and appreciation for its characters. but if not…then I really question as to why Lin fails to legitimize the errors of the founding fathers more in his musical.

Regardless, I still love him of course. People will say he is “problematic” for this very reason but that’s entirely obnoxious and immature, as well as plain ignorant. Lin himself is multi-faceted and does a PLETHORA of things for civil and immigrant rights. He contributes and makes changes in the communities that he cares about, as well as be an activist for several organizations and a speaker for those who do not have the platform that he has. This is just one thing I’ve come to think about and question a bit, but that’s good. Art is powerful when it makes us question its motive for existence.
