the play hamilton is being cancelled because hamilton was a slave owner (https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/a33261974/hamilton-canceled-explained-lin-manual-miranda/). we are in the midst of a slippery slope that silences even legitimate opinions just like the arrest of UP cebu protesters. my solution to this problem is society should come to an agreement that nobody is perfect and it should be ok to honor people for their achievements and at the same time condemn their mistakes. i think Black Lives Matter would agree with me because i'm sure they won't take down martin luther king's statues even if he subjugated women (https://www.businessinsider.com/fbi-tapes-allege-mlk-watched-rape-2019-5). it should be ok to vote for biden even if he is a rapist, or vote for trump even if he is a heavyweight misogynist, or vote for duterte even if he said he fingered his maid. we should also not demolish jose rizal's monument in luneta or remove noli me tangere from the school curriculum just because he was a playboy. we should not stop attending mass just because the church leaders tolerated the pedophilia problem for too long. here is a good article that supports my opinion - https://www.tolerance.org/magazine/sexism-in-the-civil-rights-movement-a-discussion-guide. facebook has already given me a warning for my hate speech so i hope this post won't cancel my account. but if my account gets cancelled at least i'm with good company because hamilton is a brilliant play. future cebuanos will rename marcelo fernan bridge because justice fernan ate innocent cows even if we already have plant based alternatives.
i know the solution i'm proposing will hurt some feelings and annoy the hell out of people but i'm confident because many times in my life i have solved problems that nobody else can solve. i'm not a smart person but i have the BALLS to do the NECESSARY EVIL. when i was in high school (UP cebu) a baby cow used go in our room and disrupt our class. somebody had to drag the calf all the way across the soccer field but the calf will always come back. miss madz dela cerna told me it's my turn to drag that damn calf out of the classroom. when nobody was looking i labtik the BALLS of the calf very hard the calf ran away so fast and never came back. problem solved !!! and my facebook will soon be cancelled because i just offended animal rights activists and a billion hindus.
when solving a problem, think outside the box, like the man who once said "let the one without sin be the first to cast the stone". here are my "outside the box" perspectives to the anti-terror law and arrest of UP cebu protesters - https://www.facebook.com/ian.crystal.90/posts/10163886836090321, and the tu-ob controversy - https://www.facebook.com/ian.crystal.90/posts/10163821602640321
