I suspect the reason they’ve never thought to change it before is that they never associated the word with slavery, and it was never brought to their attention because literally no one of consequence cared or even believed that’s why the used the term in their band name.

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?

Are the Dixie Chicks still around. Their name might offend someone. They must change it or someone will get triggered.

I guess they need to get rid of the queer book “After The Ball”.
Can’t be offensive, you know.

Well that should solve everything. Certainly by next week racism will be thing of the past as throngs of black Americans embrace country music, Nascar and ice hockey.

From this day forward I am imagining I don’t know what the A stands for.

I’m sure the eight black people in the world who listen to country music will really appreciate it.

They could have got a two-fer if they changed their name to
‘Auntie Bellum’.

25 genders are offended by the Lady part, not the antebellum part...

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

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

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.

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.
