Did not realize this was an issue. Just impressed by her skill and the longevity of the instrument

I'm wondering how many people screeching about this had to go to Wikipedia to find out who James Madison was.

Hahahhahahah. Racists are so god damned stupid. Jesus Christ.

So nobody’s gonna talk about what they did with flutes at Band Camp?
m4uboy
so fuckin cool! regina carter made a jazz album using paganini's violin and it's fantastic.
Jessebob42
It’s not so much knowing as it is not caring about this. She knows her skills. She’s great. Still not important news as other things. #shrug

I'm a bit outside her intended audience age range, but she was charming af on SNL and seems very talented.
Chefpnut
I just see a person playing a flute. An old flute.
SteveTheEgg
So a classically train flutist who is a popular musician was asked to demonstrate a piece of national history & ppl are mad. What a world.
d3jake
Anything to create more outrage and less thinking.
CyclopticColleague
All I kept thinking while watching the footage was, "I totally would've dropped it." And then, "Wait, I can't even play the flute!"
Hashbrown123
I could at least play Hot Cross Buns off key.
Hyzenthlay021
That's the way my nightmares go
v3rtabreaker
Did she play a song or just those few notes. I think if she played a whole song while twerking would have been better.
ElbowDeepInAJedi
Lizzo isn't my style but much respect for her musical talent across multiple genres. Go and get it!
paintingagency
She seems like an interesting and VERY talented person. I can definitely respect that.

capnadorable
Wow, I had no idea she had a talent! She can really play!
PTKrieg
Damn, if the recording sounds this nice, it must have been amazing in person.
jondru
FWIW, I'm a white male geezer--and flutist--and I think her playing this is fantastic.
TodayIsSlapANaziDay
I‘m happy that the flute is being played. That’s what they’re made for after all.
kakivara
Being the first person to play an instrument *gifted* to a slave owner (it's not "his" like he ordered it) while being black is EXACTLY the
kakivara
flex that it looks like. It wasn't a white person who played it, was it? That wasn't who did it first, was it?

Hell yes she is awesome
aIohasnackbar
The way you can tell its an own is by the types of people doing mental gymnastics to frame their outrage at this as anything but racial.
EllisHobbs
d3jake
The common term they keep floating back to is that she's been "twerking" with it.
kevlarburrito
But she didn’t…
RevengeIsIceCream
She said she did, on stage, right after she did it...
SploogeMcDuck316
Did she really or did this whole thing get even more racist
anitabieror6
so wait, james madison never played it? thats crazy i wonder how the designer felt about that back in the day. im glad its getting played
SLCtechie
I would be so nervous about dropping that. Crystal breaks so easily. She played it well though, sounds amazing!

Now now, let's not jump to conclusions. They might also be sexist.

Every time I hear Lizzo through some kind of media I learn about how she is so talented in a new way.
RelartOfGivia
I'm way impressed with Lizzo playing the flute and other wind instruments. She quite possibly was a marching band geek. Good on her.
HieronymousFlex
She's classically trained, yeah. Went to uni for it and everything.
RelartOfGivia
Impressive. My kids are in marching band, they're going to geek out about this. I'm geeking out about this.
Clockworkdancerobot
Is this the other thing the racists were upset about? They sure get upset when anyone of color participates in... anything.
brianingram
The word you're looking for is "uppity".
LaughingC
She also dared to be a woman AND body positive
palmo
Yeah, unlike OP who slut shames MTG while he produces exploitation porn
Jewdakris
How dare they...(gestures to the world)
sirava
They don't like it when the lessers act out of their place
cyrus3000
She literally did twerk with it. https://youtu.be/N3sGycWicmQ
Drunktinyoctupuswantstofight
I’ll go find my pearls to clutch shall I? Or can I borrow yours?
DocWats
Is there a reason I should care about that?
gamblingpoet
Did you know this flute existed before this happened?
butthurtnevergetsbetter
I've seen people get upset because a black man walked past, minding his own business. At a distance.
amb1021
Yikes.
AyoSis
what a beautiful instrument
RichieMuenster
Flutes’ not half bad either.
Raoul9753
a flute made of crystal? Does that even sound like a normal flute, or does the material produce some unique sound?
kholli
There's definitely a difference from a metal flute. The crystal sounds amazing.
Luthierfer
My glass slide sounds way better than my metal slide on my guitar... that's all I know.
stercusmoriturussum
There are a few videos with sound around - unfortunately all I could find on the quick had mostly talking heads telling us what we can see
AyoSis
supposedly sounds clearer than a metal flute
Throwawayheyya
Is that a fucking pun?
AyoSis
....tell me why i didn't even notice that until now omg
whatsisname
There's no such thing as a "normal" flute, as flute is a class containing tons of different types with different characteristics. If you
whatsisname
envisioning the western concert flute, this is different than those. But yes the material will produce different timbres, whether metal,

glass, wood, plastic, etc.

If people disapprove they can downvote. Pretty simple.

Downvotes. OPs a rude child on this post to boot.

I give ‘em points for making a public stand, but it’s always a little weird how they drag it over here.

Well, it is strange to do like op does and I hope op knows that. But frankly I dont judge.
Vallete
Lol, yeah, idc cus I'm not on Twitter, if he didn't post it here I'd never see it and that was funny

Kinda crazy how their shit keeps ending up on FP. Almost like we appreciate them.

He's also a misogynist producer of exploitative porn. But he dunks on easy targets and pretends to be progressive to get sales

Shaming sex work is not a good look, my friend.
palmo
I don't have a problem with sex work. I have a problem with assholes like you that exploit sex workers.

Exploit? You, um…DO know we pay consenting models, right? And that they keep coming back. That’s how this works. Holy shit. lol. ??

Also, I’ve been doing this for 20+ years. Believe me: I don’t count on Imgur for sales. ?

Be honest with ya. I simply like to share original thoughts from time to time. On a free site that awards fake and useless points.

As I write this, the top two front page posts are people who posted their own tweets. So imagine my slight confusion, if you will.

Bash on you but then they all scream they’re sick of reposts and want OC…. But I’m ngl, the Obama meme is pretty f*ckin funny tho.

Damn. You get fake points from two places. And with OC. How dare you.
