Lizzo — she’s mononymous — is apparently some kind of rap singer. If, like me, you had never heard of her, you can see her performance on YouTube here.
That is one way to take the full measure of her idiocy. Another is to read about her here, where she thanks the pro-Hamas campus nitwits for denouncing Israel and standing up for “Palestine”: “Lizzo Thanks Pro-Palestinian Activists, Anti-Israel College Protesters While Accusing Jewish State of ‘Genocide,’” by Shiryn Ghermezian, Algemeiner, May 15, 2024:
Lizzo on Monday thanked activists who are protesting on behalf of “Palestine” and other regions in the world, and added that student-led, anti-Israel protests taking place on college and university campuses across the US are “deeply important.”
Do you think that Lizzo, with an I.Q., I’d estimate, of 85, knows where “Palestine” is? Do you think she knows what the Palestine Mandate is, or when and why the “Palestinian people” were invented? Do you think she knows when Jews were first living in Judea? Or knows who started the three wars Israel had to fight for its survival in 1948, 1967, and 1973? Do you think she knows what is in the Hamas Charter about what will happen to the Jews in present-day Israel? ? In the endlessly chanted phrase “from the river to the sea/Palestine will be free” does she know what is the “river” and what is the “sea”?
Lizzo knows nothing about any of these things; I doubt if she has heard of Mahmoud Abbas or Yahya Sinwar or even Benjamin Netanyahu. She is of the very firm opinion, however, that Israel is the aggressor and Hamas is the “resistance” movement that all right-thinking people should support. She expects us to listen to her opinion with respect. She’s a rap singer with lots of music awards, so we should listen carefully to what she has to say about the war in Gaza. She’s a classic case of the Dunning-Kruger effect, defined as “a cognitive bias in which people with limited competence in a particular domain overestimate their abilities.” Boy, does she overestimate.
The singer, whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson, said in a video message on her Instagram page that she wanted “to take a second and give a personal thank-you to all of the activists who have been working tirelessly to help the liberation and the freedom of the people who have been genocided [sic] all over the world, specifically Palestine, Sudan, and the Congo.”
Does Lizzo know who has been deliberately killing civilians in “Palestine” — that is, Israel — during the past 75 years? Does she know that in Sudan Arabs have been killing black Africans? Does she know about the hundreds of thousands of black Africans currently enslaved by Arab masters in Mali, in Mauritania, in Niger?
The About Damn Time singer said that because she “has worked closely with activists” in the past, she knows “the toll it can take on your mental and your physical [health], and it can feel thankless.”
“So if you haven’t heard today [sic], thank you,” she added. “Your work is not in vain. You have helped so many people. You have saved literal [sic] lives.”
How were those “literal lives” saved, exactly? Did those campus dopes change anything in the war in Gaza? They had fun pretending to be brave warriors screaming at the top of their lungs for the Right Side — that of Hamas — but they had no effect in Gaza. And a good thing too, because they were standing up for, chanting their support for, Hamas, the genocidal terror group.
Lizzo then went on to discuss how she pulled away from the spotlight over the last year because she was in a “deep dark depression,” battling some “mental health crises and episodes.” The singer was sued in August by three of her former dancers for allegedly creating a hostile work environment and other wrongdoings, including sexual harassment and religious and racial discrimination….
Hmm. “Sued by three of her former dancers.” “Hostile work environment and other wrongdoings.” “Sexual harassment.” “Religious and racial discrimination.” Sounds most unpleasant this Lizzo, doesn’t she? Don’t take my word for it. Take the word of three of her former dancers.
“Between the loss I experienced in my personal life and the state of the world, I had been rendered into an emotional state where I cannot process or handle anything. It was very dark,” Lizzo said in her video message. The Truth Hurts singer then explained that the efforts by activists around the world motivated her “to get my ass up [sic] and get back to who I am.”
“Get back to who I am”? Who are you, Lizzo? We already know your intellectual level. We’ve seen your command — that is, your lack of command — of English. We know three of your dancers are suing you for creating a “hostile work environment” and “sexual harassment, as well as “religious and racial discrimination,” in a case that is bound to dent your popularity. We understand just how little you know about Israel and the Palestinians. Nothing. You know nothing. And as Shakespeare said — have you heard of him, Lizzo? — “nothing will come of nothing.”
She continued on to thank the many “anti-genocide, anti-war” student-led protests taking place on college and university campuses in the US. “What these students have done and are doing is so deeply important,” she said. “I can’t even express it in one video.”
What those students did, according to Lizzo, who admits that she “can’t even express it in one video,” is “deeply important.” They marched around. They screamed at Jewish students, holding one or two briefly hostage. They chanted “from the river to the sea/Palestine will be free,” that is, a call for Israel’s destruction and for its replacement by a 23rd Arab state. They yelled “No to genocide,” aiming at Israel, but the only “genocide” has been that begun by Hamas on October 7. They took over campus buildings and refused to leave. They set up sprawling tent encampments in the middle of well-manicured college greens and refused to take them down. They felt very virtuous. They had absolutely no effect on the war in Gaza. But so what? They are still feeling great. They made a difference.
Lizzo concluded her video by mentioning the work of Operation Olive Branch, a volunteer-led grassroots aid organization that supports and helps secure aid to Palestinian families. She said she is talking to other activists and will soon share “more information on how you can help these ongoing genocides in the world, because we ain’t free until we all free.”
Yes, we all want to know, as Lizzo so eloquently puts it, how we “can help those ongoing genocides in the world,” because “we ain’t free till we all [sic] free.” This grotesque creature should offer to take in a dozen or two Palestinians, and put them up indefinitely in her house or guest house, so that she can deliver her support — room and board — to them directly. If they get bored, they can always admire her unforgettable performances here and here.
Take a look yourself. You won’t regret it.
SC says
Lizzo stood up and the world tilted. Lizzo only influences on one thing. Gravity.
somehistory says
I think I would ‘regret it.’
I had never heard of her. The guy at Ole Miss called the fat Black woman by that term (I thought maybe it had some connection to a lizard, but couldn’t guess what that might be).
Genocide is the deliberate killing of an entire people, nation, group, etc. for whatever reasons the people committing it may have.
So, how do people who have been “genocided” get “freedom” and be ‘liberated’?
If the group, nation, people, have all been murdered, there can be no liberation or freedom, because they are all dead.
One thing: she mentioned Sudan and the Congo. What would she say if she came to realize that the murders….the “genocides” in Sudan and the Congo are being caused by mozlums? The same kind of people….mozlums….who are claiming that the Jews are “genociding” them.
And if she came to know all of what she claims to know, would she care? Would she care about the Truth? I have serious doubts.
PRCS says
Lizzo only influences on one thing.
Unfortunately, she also influences many young “skulls full of mush” voters. You know: our future leaders
Hugh Fitzgerald says
I spoke to Robert Spencer on the phone and told him that I’d just written a piece about Lizzo, and asked him if he had ever heard of her.He immediately replied that yes, she was very well known, and then he added that she had played a flute once owned by James Madison, that was held in the Library of Congress. Lizzo had peremptorily requested it, and at once it was brought over, he said, no questions asked, for her playing pleasure. Apparently she claimed at her that she was the first person to ever play the 200-year-old crystal flute, a gift to Madison from the French flute-maker Claude Laurent. He also told me — his total recall kicking in — that she had said at her performance “Bitch, I’m scared.”
This happens a lot with Robert. He knows a whole lot about a great many things. It’s frightening.
somehistory says
Mr. Spencer writes a lot of books. He could write one about all of the random things he knows and his reactions to those things that matter.
And he’s still so young in years. Just imagine how much he can still find out and inform others.
James Lincoln says
To your point, somehistory, so glad that Robert Spencer survived his near-death experience.
He came pretty close.
God bless him.
somehistory says
Yes, James, he obviously had that “blessing.”
we all certainly need the Truth about islam and the goals, tricks, deceptions, and methods mozlums use to defeat good and freedom. Mr. Spencer performs a valuable service for that Truth.
Ray Jarman says
Somehistory & James Lincoln,
Of all places to be poisoned, Iceland. Having worked in Reykjavik several times and when Islandic Airlines offered a layover, I would always take it. Then I read about Robert Spencer’s poisoning and I found it so difficult to believe. Regarding Lizzo, she has the talent of a mouse trying to outsmart a cat in an isolated room. Maybe someone can apprise me of how someone with no talent is able to make the kind of money that she has with absolutely no talent. I can remember that to be on stage one had to posses talent such as Etta James, Gogi Grant, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holliday and Patty Page but today this talentless buffoon is paid so much money and yet has zero talent. It makes me want to scream.
James Lincoln says
Ray,
Crazy as it seems, some people will pay good money to see the “unusual”.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
You can keep trying to convince us that you’re not him. It won’t work ?
Crusader64 says
Another so Called Anti American citizen who supports terrorism should be deported to Palestine to join her comrades in arms Then she will change her tune. Begging for America to rescue her.
Crown says
I’m envisioning a dream couple: Lizzo and Michael Moore.
We’re talking about a power couple with astounding intellectual heft. Or some kind of heft. Together, they would tip the moral scales of the universe.
Amazing thought, eh?
Any of you lost your lunch, yet?
Jim Harmon says
I didn’t lose it – she stole it
࿗Infidel࿘ says
My dream couple was always Michael Moore and Rosie O’Donnell. Each of them would have gravity of their own ?
tgusa says
That’s pretty heavy Infidel.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9nkzaOPP6g
Don’t bring me down, no no no. They should all stop eating, for the planet and all that!
࿗Infidel࿘ says
I thought that they were both planets in their own right ?
Siddi Nasrani says
Lizzo should be called Hippo.
tgusa says
You can’t fix stupid. She would never go over there and join the fight. They dont have an all you can eat buffet.
If she shared her food intake with they hungry of the world she could do a lot of good.
somehistory says
The white coat on her tongue says she’s sick.
tgusa says
I didn’t look. Sorry you brought that up. Yuk.
somehistory says
Sorry. Didn’t mean to make you ralph.
WPM says
Either sick or she just inhaled a half gallon of vanilla ice cream before tooting on a over 200 year old American heirloom ,this is where our country is heading ?
tim gallagher says
Just another know nothing airhead. It shouldn’t matter and there have been plenty of overweight singers over years such as Mama Cass, Aretha Franklin, etc, but I honestly can’t get over how grotesquely overweight this woman is. I’ve seen her on TV a couple of times (never listened to her sing) and think, how the hell does anyone get so morbidly obese as she is. Her doctor must be regularly telling her, lose plenty of weight, or you will be dead in 5 years, 10 years max.
somehistory says
Tim, I have to agree. Why so-called celebrities believe they know things and are better judges of right and wrong than people who are not well-known, makes no sense, but seems to be part of the way things are expected to be in this current time.
Mama Cass and Aretha had talent. Cass had a lot of health problems due to her weight and it contributed to her death.
This woman doesn’t appear to be someone who I would wish to hear. Not based on her weight, but the expression on her face and the words she has had to say about the gaza situation.
WPM says
Cass with her weight problem dress to appear dignify on stage ,and used her great singing talent ,not shock value of Lizzo 300 pound squeezed into a pole dancers dress 5 sizes too small for her. She adds negative value doing a ugly sad mating dance of the 3am strip club. These are the people trying to lecture us on appeasing and compiling to terrorist to make the world a better place? I would not take there advice on what type of coffee to buy at the supermarket.
somehistory says
All true. I can’ imagine why she would be allowed to use something so valuable when she obviously has no respect, for herself, nor for others.
James Lincoln says
WPM,
Yes, Mama Cass was very talented – with a wonderful voice.
Lizzo, not so much.
tim gallagher says
Yes, somehistory, of course rap music is not anything i would ever waste my time listening to, so I haven’t bothered to listen to lizzo. I saw her recently on a TV show here in Australia and, as i said, I just thought how truly grotesquely overweight she was and WPM is right, jamming her body into the types of outfits she wears is downright weird. Mama Cass had a lovely voice and I heard a man out here on the radio giving a bit of a rundown on her life and she sounded like a pleasant person which is always a good thing to hear. I agree with you, WPM, I would not give a damn about any advice Lizzo would give on any subject under the Sun including what coffee to buy.
somehistory says
thanks, Tim. I agree about rap…it’s a waste of time; and also, very annoying and irritating. and they play it so very loud.
When I drove a school bus, I was on the streets most of the day and so many had rap going in their cars; the cars would be jumping with the loud bass and it came right in through the bus windows. It tired me out.
From what I have heard and read, Mama Cass Elliot was a very nice person, and very talented.
carpediadem says
There are more intelligent people who believe in Hamas and aid and abet islamic terrorism, why not her?
tim gallagher says
That’s true, carpediadem. I don’t have the time of day for any of these scum who support hamas. I loathe them. After the atrocities that hamas committed, in my opinion, you truly have to be a complete degenerate, totally lacking in morality, to support hamas.
WPM says
There where real “intelligent” people running things in western Europe and America (Russia was sitting it out with a non-aggressive pack with Hitler till he invaded Poland then Russia voiding that pack )who said Hitler was not too bad and the rest of the west must “tolerate ” him and not judge the Germans in 1931 -1933 .Fools think that Islam would ever be pacified if you just give them a half of loaf ,they want the whole loaf and the hand that if offering it chopped off. Fools forget that it is not just Jews they want to exterminate (which is bad enough and should give pause to anyone knowing a little about history) , they are just first on the Islamic menu .911 in America ,and various terror attacks in Europe, the Americas, Asia , and Africa over the last 30 years seem to have taught us little as non-Moslems who appease to Islam wants will face being erased .
Transmaster says
Lizzo is a member of the human subspecies Adipem porcum Americanus. She and the unlimited all you can eat shrimp at Red Lobster is why they are going bankrupt.
tgusa says
It is not just Red Lobster. The list of Lizzo bankrupted restaurants goes on and on. I have noticed that we here in the USA have some of the fattest privileged and deranged nuisances on the planet. Is there a correlation between all that? I wonder. How much carbon, how many cow farts does that one spew over a day, a week, a year? All the while contributing to climate change, and you cant even eat her afterward.
Danny says
Drop that FAT COW off in gaza and give her a mic and start drawing attention. They’d have to use a parachute to tailor make her muslim garb.
OLD GUY says
Just another idiot with a microphone. Stop supporting her and maybe she’ll lose some weight.
Scotsman48 says
It is indeed a sad sad day when the youth of America are looking up to a morbidly obese person in skimpy outfits while making noises from her fat mouth and waddling about the stage.
Is this the Role Model for young black American girls and do they have the Poster on their Bedroom wall of this.. thing…
In days pass nobody would pay any attention to such a greedy obese pig that eats more in one day than an entire average African family in Africa does in a month..
American society at large has really gone downhill since the days of actual musicians from Frank Sinatra, Etta James, Lady Day, Jim Hendrix, B.B. King Janis Joplin, Elvis and so many others.
End times indeed.
