It's all a bit fucking weird, really.
Considering the flute's original owner was a huge slave enthusiast, for somebody such as Lizzo who has been so outspoken previously in support of equal rights to hold up the flute and regard it as some kind of valuable relic of American history seems somewhat morally ambiguous.
But it is a fucking crystal flute, though! So I suppose that totally overrides any ethically questionable history surrounding the piece. Plus, I'm sure none of those 'bitches' in the audience are really that concerned about the provenance surrounding the instrument. Or perhaps I've totally misread the crowd and they're actually just screaming at the thought of the flute having the power to raise James Madison's vengeful, slave hungry corpse from the dead.
