‘For them not to reach out is pure PRIVILEGE’: Lady Antebellum’s new ‘woke’ name already belongs to a black blues singer

Awkward and oopsie.

Lady Antebellum is now “Lady A” — but so is a black blues singer who’s performed music under the name for 20 years. “For them to not even reach out is pure privilege,” says the woman with the original moniker

Now wait just a cotton-picking minute here.
Seattle blues singer Lady A had just gotten off of work on Thursday when a bombardment of phone messages from friends, fans and producers came in all shouting the same thing: Her name had been stolen.
Everything in Seattle is now the "People's" or "Autonomous" or "Community." There is no more private property. Therefore, the old "Lady A" has absolutely no rights to her name. So how can she be complaining about white privilege stealing her name when she doesn't have any rights to it herself?

Our Brave New World is very confusing.

They showed weakness. Now the militant left will attack them until they no longer exist.

Gee... what a shame.

This is what happens when you put a virtue-signalling liplock on the posterior of True Assholes that hate you no matter what you do.

Enjoy the suck, Lady Antebellum.

“Lady Antebellum” appears to hate blacks and truly expects to profit using a black performer’s name.

That’s grossly racist.
