BLM Protests Spark calls for Dixie Chicks to Change Their Name

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.”

They've tried once to take "Heart Of Dixie" off the labama license plates. Ha, Ha, it's in the state constitution.

Is Alabama's 'Heart of Dixie' License Plate Logo Racist?

Hey, they forced Lady Antebellum to change their name.

I think they did it preemptively.

BUT a blues singer, who already goes by Lady A, is upset that her name was appropriate by white folk.

No. That's too close to the name of a truly great group.

What about people named Dixie? Are they cancelled?

Please don't give these demented zealots any more ideas.

"Wherever they burn books, in the end will also burn human beings." - Heinrich Heine (A Jewish poet and essayist born in 1797 who converted to Christianity in Germany).

In our case they have destroyed and "deselected" from libraries books of other viewpoints. They are shadowbanning or demonetizing and then deleting accounts on social media of people with whom they disagree. They are decapitating and destroying statues of anyone white (including a dedicated abolitionist against slavery---didn't know who he was.)

Next....

I thought, “Man, the Babylon Bee has been really busy lately...”

I’ve always called them the “Ditsy Chicks”.

Dixie Beer. Dixie Sugar. Dixie Bell paddle boat. We might as well add in ‘south’ as well. Henceforth it will be, ‘down there’. Down There America. The Down There Pole. Down There Mississippi University. Perhaps the big 3 will promise not to make any white vehicles for a year of two. Yeah, it’s getting that stoopid.
