Lizzo Talks Artists' Power & Intersectionality Within BLM Movement on Black Visions Collective's Instagram Live
Billboard ^ | June 5, 2020 | Heran Mamo

Posted on 06/06/2020 7:19:49 AM PDT by ConservativeInPA

Lizzo hopped on Instagram Live with Black Visions Collective, a Minnesota-based, Black-led organization that empowers Black queer and transgender people, on Friday (June 5) to talk about pushing the Black Lives Matter movement forward.

Although she's been taking it to the streets of Los Angeles, Calif. with other celebrities outside of Mayor Eric Garcetti's house over the weekend ("It was so inspiring to see the black joy," she mused), a part of Lizzo's heart remains in Minneapolis. "I knew Minneapolis would always be a part of the revolution!" she exclaimed before Omeoga and her shouted in tandem, "Prince always knew!"

"Artists who have this position need to make sure it’s in the music, it’s in the movies, it’s being discussed in the board rooms…. The system is broken, but the system is actually working just fine. We need to break the system."

I posted this so you see can the mind of a truly demented person. She has huge popularity. There is a video at the bottom of the article. Fast forward to 2m 16sec to see Lizzo. The first 2:16 are spent waiting for her to come online. (These people can't do anything right)

>>, a Minnesota-based, Black-led organization that empowers Black queer and transgender people,

Because Little Richard and RuPaul never made a name for themselves?

Enough of public dollars going to such crap

Let the marketplace decide

Put your money where your mouth is and do it yourself.

I don’t want to be subjected to a heavy stream of Leftist propaganda in every inch of the media. That’s all it is. Brow beating, forcing people to “agree” or face a verbal and physical beat down.

I don’t have a shameful past to atone for like that Democrat governor in Virginia who appeared in a horrific staged photo in either blackface or a klansman costume in his yearbook.

If the good muslims don’t need to speak out against or identify the radical jihadists and Islamonazis in their midst then why must I apologize for things I have not done or risk life and limb to be a sacrificial scapegoat marching in an antifa riot pre-game march?

Prince wasn’t a part of her revolution.

Where did he promote militancy?
Where did he promote Marxism?

Prince was a capitalist who controlled his own work and fought the internet hard to keep his works from being pirated/shared. He died with thousands of songs in the locked vault and they had to cut the door open to exploit his legacy.

The sad thing is the marketplace has decided. Lizzo makes millions and people eat up every incoherent word she speaks.

Note the standards some people have. Fat is good and beautiful. (Your body is God's Temple.) Music is great. (It's unoriginal, over produced, synthesized, electronic crap.) Speech is relevant. (It's pure Marxism.) Sexuality is whatever is the flavor of the day. (It's an abomination.) Looting and arson is peaceful protesting. (Just plain illegal.)

If she wanted to do something to improve the lives of the black community she might try being more like Michelle Obama and discouraging bad diets and poor lifestyle choices. “Let’s Move”.

Eat more kale.

Nice to see everyone out and about letting us know what they are all about. Bold when they think they have the power behind them. Wait
