VIDEO | Sobilik või mitte? Popstaar Lizzo haaras pihku 200 aasta vanuse ajaloolise flöödi ja mängis seda

Nimelt on lauljatar praegu USAs oma kontsertturneed läbi viimas ja astus läbi ka pealinnast Washingtonist. Seal külastas ta kongressi, kus tal avanes võimalus teha midagi ajaloolist.

Nimelt usaldati talle kätte 200 aasta vanune kristallist flööt, mis kuulus kunagisele USA presidendile James Madisonile. Tegemist oli kingitusega, mille president sai 1813 aastal ja seni hoiti seda kongressi raamatukogus.

Hearing @lizzo play some of the Library's priceless antique instruments on Monday was such a gift, and we were honored and happy to help her share that gift with her concert audience Tuesday night. Here is some more behind-the-scenes footage of her Library tour. #LizzoAtLOC pic.twitter.com/OQc4K3YXBg

Kuigi Lizzot teatakse peamiselt kui poplauljat, on ta ühtlasi klassikalise väljaõppega flöödimängija, nii et ajaloolise instrumendi mängimine tuli talle mängleva kergusega.

Here is a clip of Lizzo playing a 200-year-old flute in the library of congress. A beautiful performance from a well-trained musician. The outrage from certain people is just a symptom of their ideology.

See kaunis muusikaline hetk varjutati aga kiirelt kurjade inimeste poolt, kes Lizzo flöödimängu kiirelt hukka mõistsid. Paljud uskusid, et tegemist oli ajaloo teotamisega ja et ta poleks kunagi tohtinud flööti mängidagi. 

Republicans spiral after Lizzo made history when she performed with a 200-year-old flute once owned by US president James Madison at the Washington D.C. stop of her ‘The Special Tour.’

The flute was gifted to Madison in 1813 and has been maintained by the Library of Congress. pic.twitter.com/LueNHcsmxE

If all we had seen was the clip of Lizzo playing the flute in the halls of the Library of Congress while wearing a semi-modest outfit, everyone would have shrugged. But that's not the clip everyone championed as groundbreaking: it was the clip where she bragged about twerking.

Õnneks leidus ka neid, kes lauljatari kaitsma asusid, viidates tõsiasjale, et tõenäoliselt mõisteti tema tegu hukka vaid sellepoolest, et ta on mustanahaline.

If you wouldn’t have a problem with Taylor Swift playing Ben Franklin’s piano, you shouldn’t have a problem with Lizzo playing James Madison’s flute.

If you do have a problem, stop and think about why that is.

Lizzo is such an interesting person for right wing content creators to moralize about because she’s so squeaky clean. She makes catchy songs about positivity and plays the flute. There’s no plausible deniability that they hate her for any other reason than being black and fat.
