Well.. Alexander Hamilton was a white man defending and professing white people's beliefs. He fought the Revolutionary War in his 20's. When the french stormed Bastille he was in his mid 30s, amid a total bloodbath and a sea of decapitated heads. A different world.

Although memories of such events have faded, history books and old laws have been able to preserve many of what was achieved. But today's world is so different that perhaps we took decisions under the wrong assessments back in 2010. And using Alexander Hamilton as some kind of role model may have been a mistake...

We were idealist back then. Without ever realizing that just very few politicians are idealists these days.
