The Dixie Chicks have changed their name in response to the Black Lives Matter movement

Amid calls for the removal of Confederate symbols and nostalgia prompted by the Black Lives Matter movement, the notoriously liberal country music trio formerly known as the Dixie Chicks have finally decided that “Dixie” had to die.Now simply the Chicks, bandmates Natalie Maines, Emily Strayer and Martie Maguire, who have sold some 33 million albums worldwide, were widely ostracised by the country music community after they spoke out against President George W.

Earlier this month, Lady Antebellum made that call when they told fans that they shall henceforth be called Lady A — with no indication as to what the “A” stands for if not “Antebellum.” But the band was accused of opportunism and ignorance because a Seattle-based blues artist, Lady A, has performed under the name for over 20 years.

Seriously pathetic 😡😡😡

Wow I love your music and values ladies

Why

What fools!

All these trifling gestures mean absolutely nothing to the lives of the people that are in real need of help. Its just corporations and celebrities trying to cover their own arses before the EVERYTHING OFFENDS US brigade target them next.

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Who cares what they do.

Really! How far are we going to go? Why not just not abolish all white society. First I was shocked over what has happened and sorry, but now things are going ridiculous. Changing lollies names. How much are we prepared to give up & change?

Why not just the chooks!

These ladies are fantastic in Concert if you ever get a chance to see them. Don’t care what they call themselves!

How about irrelevant

How is it these bands are now thinking their names might be offensive? What changed between conception and now? If these people really had empathy, the names would have been offensive from day one. Get the feeling loss of fan base & revenue is what’s concerning them, not names.

No longer chicks

😮

Sad

Isn't Chicks a gender based insult under this cancel culture Shitfuckery?

Who cares ?

Is the new name WGAFF ...what's Grand Master Flash and Adam Ant up to now?

Now known as ' The Large Iron Cooking Pot Used By Soldiers Chicks ' The World has gone mad !

Chick's who are dicks

Congratulations to thechicks for showing the sensitivity and courage needed in this day and age.

Trying to stay relvelant

I threw out my copies of their albums years ago when they went woke

That’s the end of them !!

So what will they call themselves when the inevitable chickens' lives matter movement starts?

Can someone please explain why is Dixie racist? We have Dixie cups, thats icecream in tiny tubs.I know a woman called Dixie what will she do

Well 'The Chicks' sounds like a pack of drunk slags. Well it does

So stunning and brave. 👏👏👏

Ridiculous.

Oh I had no idea🤔I think racism is more about intent, not the name😳

Dicksy?

Oh, yet more victims of racism and culture cancelling. Leftism is a mental disorder.

🤦🏽

🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

How stupid

Who cares . Nobody has heard of these wenches in years.

An alternate name ' The Bush Pigs'

Pathetic ! !

how about we have a new album coming at and we need the publicity.

However the new name change may offend vegans, feminists, animal activists.

🤮🤮

Should have changed to the Pixie Chicks - play some decent music for once

🤦‍♂️

They the White Chicks now.

And ‘The Chicks’ is not offensive?

I can imagine they may now just fade away.

I wish i was in Dixie, away away!! 💕💕💕 They are crazy!! 🤪🤪🤪🤣

Why is this statue still standing?.

The dumbass’s has a better ring to it then the chicks.

This is going to far ....... ALL LIVES MATTER .....race , colour and religion has nothing to do with it .....

Let’s give this thing the very best chance to get up, by locating it in a part of the country where it’s incredibly difficult to persuade people to work. compassion? The missing element of our covid strategy is the use of masks. Hong Kong has had 9 deaths, in a State that is densely populated & with minimal shutdowns. They even have had Chinese Tourists visit. If MASKS are so bad, why do Nurses/Doctors wear them?
