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, “We’re ashamed that the president of the United States is from Texas.”

I wish I were in the land of cotton, where old times there are not forgotten, look away, look away look away Dixie Land.
F’em.
5.56mm
Next up: Cracker Barrel, Cracker Jacks, Oh wait, that’s white hate. I guess if you take a bunch of white stuff like bread, rice, flour, etc and go to a checkout person who’s black you could be accused of a racist attack - the way things are going now.
Ha ha ha!!!!!!
‘many activists have begun calling out the band Dixie Chicks to change their name’
who...?
Hey, they forced Lady Antebellum to change their name. This doesn’t strike me as odd.
What’s bullshit is that a majority of blacks don’t listen to country, so this is just piling on. So frustrating.
Chixie Dicks?
“We’re ashamed that the president of the United States is from Texas.”
compared to what people on this website say about Bush, that’s pretty tame...
Blatant racism is encouraged...as long as it's against White people.
Nashville libs.
Old fat ho’s?
Forced? Nah. White guilt.
Well, there’s thirteen hundred and fifty two
Commies in Nashville
Guess they’re ashamed the Chicks are
from Texas...(what Natalie said re
Dubya Bush).
Is Little Feat’s song Dixie Chicken
next?
Dixie cups?
Revealing that the protests are not against racism or injustice, but against white America.
Graceland to be razed
There’s a starbucks in the grocery store here. The coffee sux but I think I’ll order a cup just to tell them to make it black.
“Hey, they forced Lady Antebellum to change their name. “
The name change was preemptive a week before the howling reached crescendo.
Natalie at least, maybe all 3 from
Lubbock TX.
One of their songs was the anti war/military Travelin’ Soldier.
My own lyrics
ooh I’m so sick of listening to
the Dixie Chicks
They suck and they’re so boring
Listen to them you’ll soon be snoring
They like Saddam Hussein
‘Tween the three of them, you won’t find
half a brain
This headline makes me smile.
But I gotta admit. Their cover of ‘Landslide’ is perfection.
Shut up and sing.
