    I apologize but i dont see how this has to do with the topic...

    I guess the point being is the only discussion is the accusation of racism anyway of disputing it will be seen as "childish"

    While they have the right it was totally classless to do such a thing at a Broadway show. A very busy man taking a night on the town with his family, their town, to see their show, a show when advertising for actors posted white actors need not apply. Are the producers racist? Seems so.http://www.nydailynews.com/entertai...ces-fire-due-discrimination-article-1.2582555

    It sure looks like Trump has no idea of what his responsibilities really are now.....

    “In an effort to be inclusive to all races, (they) may be reaching out to non-whites,” she said.

    I must say when i first stating seeing quotes with the complete lack of logic like the above i was shocked and appalled now it seems common... What the hell happened?

    Again, I never said that Trump did not have the right to respond. Your question relies on assigning me a false position, then demanding I defend it.

    I wasnt aware that the President or President-Elect was not allowed to address what is seen as a personal attack... Do you forget already the outrage over "you lie"!? It was the talk of the media for quite awhile. Funny enough there was accusations of racism so what the heck is the difference?

    Pence should have known better than to attend a Black activist event.

    If the New Black Panthers had a stage performance, I'd not bring my family to see it.

    Don't feed minds that hate.

    While the speech itself was well thought out and well spoken I consider it inappropriate. It was neither the proper time or place. Perhaps the actors should have requested a more private setting

    Sure, after the backlash, you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube.

    I will not defend the cast for the place and time of their statement but in my opinion that is hardly nan attack. The cast was opportunistic in their taking the occasion to get the VEEP Elect's ear.

    Trump the child in an adult body reacted like a two year who was told "no" by his mommy but what can we expect from LICE-Liar In Chief Elect!

    Well, I'll pass on advice from someone who sped through neighborhoods at 100 MPH then resisted arrest.

    He also had poor financial knowledge, as he blew all his millions in short order by trying to make his own rap studio.

    A private setting would have been much more appropriate but I doubt that it would have granted. I also posted that I do not defend the timid or place of the message the cast delivered butvI do defend their right to do so as Americans.

    In front of his daughter and grandkids , so classy these self righteous lites are. Scumbags if you ask me. Then they wonder, how did Donald Trump get elected? I wonder if Mike Pence was black would he be treated so badly in front of his family ? I bet not , I also bet the media would be up in arms .

    that is just speculation on your part. As I said earlier it was the wrong time, wrong place, and just rude. For some reason actors think just because they can act, sing etc believe they hold the golden keys to wisdom and the people who are in the heartland are just ignorant rubes

    I can only imagine a Play based on a cast that was almost entirely casted as white ( and written that way) called out Obama for his political views. These people thinking this is only about free speech i think would be claiming something completely different...

    Why should they "obey" the LICE? In case you are not an American and do not understand our political system and our governmental structure let he acquaint you with our system. We are a democratic republic not a TRUMPOCITY. Hence the LICE was not elected king, emperor, dictator , or a god and neither the cast of Hamilton nor us Americans have to obey THE POS who is the POTUS Elect.

    I see it the same way as people calling for a boycott or demanding someone denounce someone/something which seems commonplace these days. To think that you would call a President-Elect "lice" even to the point of putting it in all caps and multiple times is concerning.. I thought the left was about tolerance? And not being "divisive"? How are emotions this high this far after the election?

    Pretty much goes against the message they claim they were sending.. Interesting.

    Actually that's exactly what you did. And the question still stands. Why do you feel Trump should not have the right to address the false charges? I even quoted you so you couldn't misunderstand the question.

    But it is not. At no point did I say that Trump did not have the right to say whatever he wanted. Your argument relies on a false characterization of my words.

    Democrats do have a history of attacking Republicans in theaters....just ask Abe Lincoln.
