Recognize these lovely ladies? The scored a HUGE smash hit back in 1964 Chapel of Love They call themselves.....wait for it....The DIXIE Cups This song still gets plenty of airplay, and these women still perform at some oldies concerts. It's usually played at a typical car show with all the other popular oldies. BTW my lovely wife is armed with a bunch of coupons and is planning to go on a shopping spree at the local Winn-DIXIE I guess we're a couple of racists.

I guess the liberals won’t like the Dixie Chicks anymore.

April 10, 1865: President Lincoln Asks the Band to Play “Dixie”

General Robert E. Lee surrendered to General Ulysses S. Grant on April 9, 1865. The next day, despite rain and mud there were some 3,000 people in the streets celebrating. Crowds serenaded President Lincoln throughout the day. “At length,” wrote a reporter for the Washington paper Daily National Intelligencer, “after persistent effort, the presence of Mr. Lincoln was secured. Three loud and hearty cheers were given, after which the President said:

‘FELLOW CITIZENS: I am very greatly rejoiced to find that an occasion has occurred so pleasurable that the people cannot restrain themselves. [Cheers.] I suppose that arrangements are being made for some sort of a formal demonstration, this, or perhaps, to-morrow night. [Cries of `We can’t wait,’ `We want it now,’ &c.] If there should be such a demonstration, I, of course, will be called upon to respond, and I shall have nothing to say if you dribble it all out of me before. [Laughter and applause.] I see you have a band of music with you. [Vocies, `We have two or three.’] I propose closing up this interview by the band performing a particular tune which I will name. Before this is done, however, I wish to mention one or two little circumstances connected with it. I have always thought `Dixie’ one of the best tunes I have ever heard. Our adversaries over the way attempted to appropriate it, but I insisted yesterday that we fairly captured it. [Applause.] I presented the question to the Attorney General, and he gave it as his legal opinion that it is our lawful prize. [Laughter and applause.] I now request the band to favor me with its performance.'”

“In accordance with the request, the band struck up `Dixie,’ and at its conclusion played `Yankee Doodle,’ the President remaining at the window mean-while. The President then said: `Now give three good hearty cheers for General Grant and all under his command.’ These were given with a will, after which Mr. Lincoln requested `three more cheers for our gallant Navy,’ which request was also readily granted. The President then disappeared from the window, amid the cheers of those below. The crowd then moved back to the War Department, and loud calls were again made for Secretary Stanton.”

Less than a week later, Lincoln was dead.

Councilman James Taylor told FOX8 that some folks find the word “offensive” and some folks are “angry” with the name. He said that as a progressive city – they need a name that “everyone can appreciate.” [...]

He went on to say he wanted to rename it the 'Douchebag Classic'

Off topic but that song “Chapel of Love” was about girls and their boyfriends going to get married . that song is hetero normative and bigoted against all the lesbian gay and trans whatever couples out there who want to go to the chapel of love. What about them?

I get evaluation looks from Black people when I describe something as Black, like a part.
They are ready to be offended even when talking about an object.

The point is, is that Blacks have been so manipulated into believing the hype
about being constant victims they fall for this crap. If they didn't there would be
no more hypersensitivity about this and people would get on with their lives.

When a liberal wants, you deny them. That way lies sanity.
Slaughtering their own sacred cows using their own tactics is also fun for the adventurous.

Example:

“Black people using the word ‘nigger’ devalues them as a people because it is a word created and popularized by white Democrat oppressors.”

Which is 100% accurate and uses their SJW terminology. They then have to argue that it is actually a good thing or they would have to admit to the truth of it. Which of course they cannot without offending other SJWs and blacks.

Why not make up a list of allegedly racist words, pass the list around, and ask everyone to use them as much as possible, no matter who may or may not be listening.

Words are just words.

Do you know how to avoid getting a Southern accent? Never drink from a Dixie-Cup.
