Highlights from the Lin Manuel Miranda NPR interview. He was not taking any shit (and was flawless doing so):

Interviewer: The other performers are Kendrick Lamar, The Weeknd, Lady Gaga. How does your music fit into that mix?

LMM: Well, it’s music….

~

Interviewer: Hip-hop isn’t the standard Broadway music. And you’ve incorporated this nearly all-minority cast rapping, hip-hopping. This is about guys who wore powdered wigs. They wrote the federalist papers. How does it work, why does it work?

LMM: The casting is not ‘minority.’ Your piece is going to be dated in about five years when we’re the majority. So you might want to say ‘people of color.’

Good lord they can’t even pronounce his name right 😒

Interviewer: How significant is it to you that it is such a popular show? The Oscars have been running with a hashtag, #OscarsSoWhite. But that doesn’t seem true for the Grammys. What does that mean to you?

LMM: “First of all, I’m thrilled to be in a season so extraordinary and diverse as this one. ‘On Your Feet!,’ ‘Allegiance,’ ‘Shuffle Along,’ ‘The Color Purple.’ It’s been an extraordinary year for diversity on Broadway. But that being said, it’s all an accident of timing. Last year’s Tonys were just as white as this year’s Oscars are. It’s three theater owners and 40-something theaters and that’s all a combination of luck and what’s ready and what’s in the pipeline. So don’t pat yourselves on the backs too hard, Broadway. It’s all about what comes in a given year and I’m really excited we’re part of this season.”

Jesus he just shut them completely down

It would not be unfair to say he

People shit on clicktivism or online social justice shit a lot but here’s the thing:

I’ve been on this garbage website for three years as of this month and I can say with absolute certainty that a lot of what I now know about intersectionality and gender and race and class and ableism can be directly traced to this website. It’s because tumblr (and Twitter to a lesser extent because of the character limit) is a really accessible way to see mini essays explaining shit to me from tons of different perspectives.

Like you get these really digestible posts that clearly spell out either theoretical concepts or their practical applications. And I sure as shit don’t get that in school or in my daily interactions.

I feel like people shit on clicktivism because they think it stops there – with me reading stuff on a screen. But it doesn’t because I for one take the knowledge I gain here and transfer it into the world at large: my interactions with my friends and family, my conduct in the classroom, and the entertainment media I consume.

Real-world revolution has never once just fallen out of the sky, guys. It always starts with an exchange of ideas. Tumblr and platforms like it facilitate that exchange.

So like don’t ever let anyone tell you that you’re less of an activist because you started learning shit from social media. Social media is a gift to activism.

And how many major events would have gone unnoticed and unreported if not for people spreading it on social media???
