re: The Library of Congress let Lizzo play a Crystal Flute Owned by James Madison

If Trump played that flute we'd be canceling him on account of sharing a mouthpiece with a dirty, evil racist, right?

A huge glob of fat

Can someone let me know how my life is negatively affected by this? I really want to be offended and outraged but I'm not getting there yet.

Wait till your 16 year old daughter/grand-daughter puts on 45 pounds and starts an OnlyFans. Then you know this should scare the shite out of you.

I can’t downvote you enough for posting that disgusting picture.

I'm a direct descendant of James Madison. He was my grandmother's great grandfather.
I have no problem with it. Like someone said, they are made to be played.

and no, I couldn't tell you a single Lizzo song and she's too fat.

“Apparently the flute had indeed been played previously, according to comments supplied above by Rob Turner. I am shocked that a precious and delicate artifact of such national importance would be trotted out for use by anyone, much less a pop figure who used the opportunity to twerk and play a couple of notes any beginner could produce. Questionable judgment on the part of the LOC guardians of our national heritage, but wonderful to have learned of the flute and it’s history. Take care.”

Well, you are a flaming liberal so…

Slavery truly is our most grievous national sin

That said, it is one we share with literally every major civilization in human history.

There is only 1 civilization that ended the practice, based on morality. It happens to be the one we're living in now. And as it turns out, the only people in power at the time (and therefore behind the move to end slavery) just so happened to be white males.

This may not seem like a big deal, but it is. The point of this stunt, and others like it, is to send the message that your national symbols and national heroes are not important. They’re a joke. They deserve to be mocked, degraded, and ridiculed, and they do it right in your face while you watch helplessly. They want you to feel demoralized.

That is the purpose of founding father James Madison’s 200 year old flute being played by an extraordinarily fat black woman with her entire bare arse hanging out, playing the flute while bent over and jiggling her arse cheeks while the crowd cheers.

People will say “she’s just playing a flute, it’s not a big deal”. No. Don’t fall for that nonsense. This stuff is a big deal. It’s another person taking a pickaxe and chipping away at our shared culture. Eventually you will wake from your stupor and wonder how we got where we are. It’s because people let these little things slide.

Here's what Lizzo actually wore at the Library of Congress when playing the flute owned by James Madison.

And here's the YouTube video of Lizzo sort of twerking (?) as she played.
