'Hamilton' Star Under Fire for 'Racist,' 'Sexist' Tweets

Hamilton actor Brandon Victor Dixon, who lectured Vice President-elect Mike Pence Friday from the Broadway stage about fears of bigotry under a Trump presidency, is under intense fire for sexually suggestive tweets some social media users have called racist and sexist.

In a March 2012 tweet, Dixon wrote, “St. Patty’s day weekend is like Christmas for black dudes who like white chicks. Happy holidays boys.”

In June 2013, Dixon responded to a Twitter user’s tweet about how professional football players used to simply play on Sundays, have casual sex, and get paid.

I am sure his Twitter line will be quite for a while until this dies down.

But he is a progressive and is also a minority so it is ok for him to make statements like that! Didn't you know? Only white people are oppressive and can be held accountable!

What's the difference between what he tweets and Donald Trump says or tweets? 🙄🙄🙄

2:10 It's because Dixon is a racist slime dirt bag that won't be held accountable for what he says because he's black. Happens every day in the taxpayers school system. He advertised for non white actors. If a white actor had advertised for non black actors he or she would have been prosecuted. Catch my drift?
