Listen: Blues Singer Lady A Slams ‘Woke’ Lady Antebellum for Taking Her Name: ‘They Thought I Was Irrelevant’
breitbart.com ^ | 7/17/2020 | Kyle Olson

The country group Lady Antebellum announced in June that it would change its name to “Lady A,” a move that upset Seattle blues singer Anita White, who has been using the name for decades.

“I began using the name back in the late ’80s,” Lady A told The Kyle Olson Show this week.

Lady Antebellum, in an attempt to shed its name’s link to slavery, simply adopted “Lady A.”

“This is what happens when privilege wants to be woke,” Lady A said, “but really doesn’t know how.”

“In your being woke, you can’t go from Lady Antebellum to Lady A and think there’s a difference,” she said.

Lady A alleged Lady Antebellum, and singer Hillary Scott, are not putting “power behind” their words after the two entities had a conversation via Zoom.

If "antebellum" meaning prewar is racist, the band should change their name to

Lady Postbellum

The blues singer asked for a $10 million shakedown and the country group told her to go pound sand.

Or maybe they should reconsider "Lady". That speaks to privilege and genderism.

They could change it to

Woke Person A

Lady A-Hole should have just kept the original name. Nobody would have noticed or cared. I guess flaunting your “wokeness” with pointless virtue-signaling was worth all the trouble and effort.

Hey, it works! My car once broke-down in a strange town. I googled “auto repair shops” and the first one that came up was AA car mechanics. I called them.

If Lady Antebellum goes to “Lady Antediluvian”, then there’s no slavery issue.
