Following weeks of protests about police brutality and racism, many activists have begun calling out the band Dixie Chicks to change their name, claiming the word Dixie harbors the epitome of white America.
The Dixie Chicks, a band composed of Natalie Maines and twin sisters Martie Maguire and Emily Strayer, is a country band that was started in 1989.
The Chicks soared to popularity until a comment by Maines about President George W. Bush in 2003 sent their career on a downward spiral from which it never fully recovered. In London for a concert, Maines told the crowd in 2003, Were ashamed that the president of the United States is from Texas.

Got nothing to do with your OP but it't the FReeper Way...
>> O this is sweet.
LOL, indeed it is!
Why aren't BLM'ers demanding that the N word be eliminated from all C-rap songs, aren't told that it is derogatory, wasn't it a term used by Da Massah's in reference to slaves?
I just can't keep up with what's racist by who because if your one color it's not but if your another it is.
Dixie Chicks!? Who is going to play at the opening of local candle stores?
Yeah, bitches, change your F’ing name!
Seconded.
Maybe . ..but they suck.
Maybe . ..but they suck.
Maybe . ..but they suck.
Maybe . ..but they suck.
You can say That again..
;^D
OK...Maybe but they suck .
How about Chick Peas.
I would hardly call Travelin’ Soldier an anti-military song. It’s a tragic young love song more than anything else. It’s unfortunate that Natalie didn’t just shut up and sing because she ruined all of their careers. All of them worked hard—years of music lessons,paying their dues—and in one minute it was destroyed,although they still make money but not the millions they could have earned. I like many of their songs and ignore the politics. You have to or you won’t be listening to a lot of music.
Good point...tragic story song.
How about “Wendy’s Women’s Singing Club and Well-done Chicken Servers”?
What about the Dixie Cups?
Iko Iko un-day
And it turn’s out there is a black blues singer who goes by Lady A, who will SUE them.
