In a recent Saturday Night Live sketch featuring Lin-Manuel Miranda as Alexander Hamilton, the cultural and political landscape of America was humorously dissected. While portraying Hamilton, Miranda emphasized the importance of liberty and nation-building in a rap, reflecting the show's signature blend of music and humor. The sketch took a satirical turn with James Austin Johnson's Donald Trump interrupting Miranda, joking about the current political climate, D.E.I., and workplace diversity. This juxtaposition of Hamilton's ideals with modern political commentary highlighted stark contrasts in perceptions of race, leadership, and historical narratives.
"I say our lives matter not if we lose them in the cause of liberty. What matters is the nation we build."
"In America, all men are created equal, America not England; we're doing the sequel, And we will have leaders, but know one thing: In America, we will never have a king."
"We're doing it very whitely. D.E.I. is over, adding: Workplaces must go back to looking like the TV show The Office."
