The hypersensitive and politically correct culture that is currently handicapping the nation has taken its next victim: country music group Lady Antebellum, which announced on Thursday that for the first time in the fourteen years they’ve been a band that the word “antebellum” might offend people. The term “antebellum” is typically used as a reference to the pre-Civil War American South, during which there was still slavery.

The term “antebellum” seems to be used innocuously in reference to the pre-Civil War United States as a whole, or cultural things like architecture, cuisine, and others. Will “antebellum” be shunned as a term from now on or is America’s entire antebellum history so tainted that we can longer acknowledge it?

So will "postbellum," referring to the period 1865-1898 (or 1917) also be shunned?

I think to be fair that 1 or all 3 should be replaced by people who are black and change the music to rap.

[Stravinsky]

It’s gone well beyond political correctness at this point.

So, as musicians Antebellum reminded them of the music of the south. Now time to erase those memories and shit on the south. I’m hopeful they go the same route as the Dicks see Chicks. Dustbin

Their use of the word “antebellum” had nothing to do with slavery, however. “We named our band after the southern ‘antebellum’ style home where we took our first photos,” the band explains on their website. “As musicians, it reminded us of all the music born in the south that influenced us…Southern Rock, Blues, R&B, Gospel and of course Country.

I always wondered about that, and there's the answer, which should be good enough for anyone, except for the ignorant tantrum throwers who call the shots now. Good job at caving in, former Lady Antebellum.

I wonder what Confederate Railroad is going to do?

When they go after Stone Mountain and The Cyclorama this old 64 year old women will take to the street. When they kill me they can bury me in the ground of the old slave houses I played in as a kid.

That’s good to hear that Staten Island is doing OK. My ancestors lived there in 1661 as part of the 1st permanent settlement. Staten Island has been through a lot. Those settlers would be ticked off at the crap going on now.

How did we get from a shutdown country with massive unemployment to instantly worrying about the name of a base or band?

Trump needs to ignore this partisan noise and stay on the offense with issues the voters care about.

It’s Latin.

Ante -”before”
bellum -”war”

Just like:

Para -”For”
bellum -”war”

as in: 9mm parabellum

Call them liberal “cave-in” pussies.

[usafa92]

They were quite possibly the worst country conert I had ever been to. But what I really want to know, is if they will be refunding all the milions they’ve made on merch with “Lady Antebellum” plastered all over.

[House Atreides]

Call them liberal “cave-in” pussies.
**************************************
They succumbed to cultural blackmail.

Oh, darn....what have I done. I’ve used the b-word. Please forgive me. What can I do to atone for that sin?

[dfwgator]

Call them “The Brees”

[gathersnomoss]

Lady Meat Flaps....

[Chewbarkah]

It’s pathetic for them to bow down to the cultural Maoists. (Or is this an attempt to be “relevant” and get free publicity?) The Lady Antebellum name is so shallow that who could possibly care?

[Dawgreg]

Snowflake idiots.

And the equally idiotic that give in to their madness!

[windsorknot]

Just how “country” are they? So much of modern “country” music is pathetic.

Where will it stop?

What about this ?
