\n In the wake of recent Black Lives Matter protests, Lin-Manuel Miranda\u2019s multi-Tony-winning \u201cHamilton\u201d has fallen under scrutiny over its glorification of slave owners.<\/p>\n

Miranda, 40, took to Twitter<\/a> on Monday to respond to those critics.<\/p>\n

This wave of criticism stems from the buzzy July 3 release of the show\u2019s movie version on the streaming service Disney , more than a year ahead of schedule, bringing with it a much wider audience.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, Tracy Clayton \u2014 host of the Netflix podcast \u201cStrong Black Legends\u201d \u2014 tweeted that \u201c\u2009\u2019Hamilton\u2019 the play and the movie were given to us in two different worlds & our willingness to interrogate things in this way feels like a clear sign of change.\u201d In her thread, which earned 32,000 likes, she goes on to say that \u201c\u2009\u2019Hamilton\u2019 is a flawed play about flawed people written by an imperfect person that gave my flawed and imperfect little life a big boost when i needed it most \u2026 but i do app<\/a>reciate the change this illustrates & will be following the convo\u2019s evolution.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAppreciate you so much,\u201d Miranda tweeted on Monday morning in response to her tweet. \u201cAll the criticisms are valid. The sheer tonnage of complexities & failings of these people I couldn\u2019t get. Or wrestled with but cut. I took 6 years and fit as much as I could in a 2.5 hour musical. Did my best. It\u2019s all fair game<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The show, which quickly launched to theatrical fame after debuting in 2015, focuses on Alexander Hamilton, one of America\u2019s founding fathers who became known for promoting the abolition of the international slave trade in New York City. But, as the Daily Mail notes, Hamilton married into a New York slave-holding family and managed the sale of slaves. Separately, Hamilton \u2014 who never appeared to own slaves \u2014 did accounting for a trading company in his native Caribbean that participated in the slave trade.<\/p>\n

The show, which famously cast primarily actors of color to play white historical figures, has long been discussed as problematic. One point of criticism: His relationships with other founding fathers, like George Washington \u2014 shown as his father figure in the play \u2014 who was a slave owner.<\/p>\n

These points drove social-media users to push to cancel the show following the streaming release over the weekend. On Saturday, actor and director Michael Rapaport tweeted, \u201cIs it time to discuss canceling #hamiltonmusical? Celebrating a singing George Washington?\u201d<\/p>\n

But not all were on board.<\/p>\n

Replied one user: \u201cSorry mike . . . \u2009normally I\u2019m with you but nah don\u2019t hate on Hamilton. One of the best from [Miranda].\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
