Will Winn-Dixie need to change their name? Will the south become offensive and need to be renamed the lower north? Stupid, silly, asinine people showing their rear-ends. I laugh at them but they certainly are annoying.
The song “Dixie” was written by a black man, before the Civil War.
As of today they are the Yankee Chicks. :^D
“Councilman James Taylor told FOX8 that some folks find the word offensive and some folks are angry with the name.”
You got a name, now you need an address. If conservatives in this community are too cowardly to take on this left wing fascist, then you all deserve to wear the chains.
I have posted on the power of political correctness that is going on in England. Many young girls were exploited and raped by Pakistani men who had them in prostitution rings. This went on for twenty years and though it was reported to child services and the police nothing was done about it because everyone was scared of being called Islamophobic. Political correctness is extremely dangerous, it is the modern day equivalent of the Salem With Trials.
I was aware of the Rotherham rape scandal, as well as the grumblings of another city with the exact same problem.
Police wouldn’t profile Pakistani Muslim men who groomed 10-14 year old white girls, raped at least 1400, fathered at least a hundred interracial kids as proof, got at least 2 dads arrested for trying to save their daughters, saw teachers and social workers sent to diversity training for pointing out the problem and police who blamed victims and classified it as consensual to avoid being called racist for having only Pakistani muslims targeted in an investigation.
What a coincidence! I had a job on a Dixie St. this afternoon and it just popped into my head for a second, “Wonder who’s offended by that street sign...”
The President of the United States said, “Its not whether or not its polite to say ‘nigger’ in public”.
So I dont understand what all the hub-bub is all about.
Your right to not be offended retreated in defeat to England in 1783.
Wow, you can see that the insanity comes from the top down. The people who were trying to do the right thing were intimidated by their bosses and their bosses’ bosses. The ruling class is insane in any western country and it is always about political correctness.
Works for me!
I am so sick of this!

Well, remember, I wasn’t around in the ‘50s and ‘60s, but I’ve heard of WLAC (it became a talk radio station later, broadcasting Rush Limbaugh, et al).
It’s still there today, turns 90 years old next year (November 2016).

Dixie State University is located in St George UT. It has the name to honor history wherein cotton was grown there during civil war times. Some PC, uninformed, racist student complained a couple years ago that the name was racist. He was a black student apparently brought there on a scholarship. This created considerable turmoil in the community. However, large contributors to the school threatened to withdraw support. The student shut up (and apparently left the school). The school remains Dixie State University. One must stand-up to these PC idiots.
Alabama License Plate Historian Recounts 'Heart of Dixie' History
The constitution of Alabama states that the term "Heart Of Dixie" must be on all Alabama vehicle plates.(It's been made so small that you can hardly read it now)
