Broadway audiences were not so much seeking a musical about hip-hop per se, but a version of hip-hop that privileged a white liberal audience by allowing them to embrace blackness on their own terms, while including enough lyricism and Obama-era hope to embrace aspirational people of color -- some of whom also see themselves reflected in this play.

Yes, Hamilton is historical fan-fiction made for an audience that hates the color of their own skin, but still has white sensibilities.

The backlash against Hamilton and other important US history is just par for the course in furthering a rootless cosmopolitan society. No people no past, just nomads and products.
