So Lady Antebellum changed their name so they could be on the right side of the conversation with race and they turn around and sue Lady A, a Black Woman, who has actually been using that name for quite some time so that they can use her name? Doesn't that defeat the purpose?"Today we are sad to share that our sincere hope to join together with Anita White in unity and common purpose has ended.
Get over it.
Not good. I’m all done with them
Change to ANOTHER NAME! You started this name changing thing... she has had it for 20 years... common sense for this situation!

Now Lady Antebellum Is Suing a Black Performer Over the Name 'Lady A'Last month, the band Lady Antebellum awoke one morning, took note of the current climate, and decided to change its name to Lady A. Fine. The problem is, that name was already taken by a Black blues singer named Anita White. Rather than going back to the drawing board and finding a new name that isn’t A) just shorthand for “antebellum” or B) already in use, the band has decided its best course of action is to sue Anita White for use of the name. Black Lives Matter indeed!\n It’s so disgraceful. Ugh. Performative allyship. Let me summarize: 3 rich white people change their name to make them feel better about being white, turns out a black singer already has their new name. Now they are using their white privilege to steal the name and the black singers name is White. America can't make this up!! Lady Asshole is available.
