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.

Can’t wait for this idiot to retread and defend them again.
Do they even still exist as a group for their name to be changed?
Not sure. But, I hear that THE BAND or whoever owns their crap will have to remove any trace of “The Night They Drove Ol’ Dixie Down.” Just sayin’.
I’ll stand with the Chicks this time, and against the mob.
Which will be next?
Dixie Highway
Dixie Cups
Dixie Truckers’ Home, open since 1927 in Illinois
Enough cowering to ignorant thugs.
The Ditsy Chicks.
So I go to the ghetto and down the MLK Drives and see the epitome of black America: trash, squalor and third world. Is that fair?
WTF is the epitome of white America.?
The are actually very talented.
They will fall on their knees. Not for protest reasons, but.........
The real Dixie without the chicks.

Why didn’t we think of this sooner? Dixie is obviously derogatory and racist and they maintained their ‘racist’ name for decades, even though they knew it was racist..... Shame! Shame! Shame!
I agree.Dixie Whores is far more fitting.
How about renaming the group “Has-been Chick Band Nobody Knew Was Still Around”.
The Dick Chicks
Why did they sue Sony?
First, the sisters are not twins. A simple search by the journalist would show this. Lazy.
I agree—they’re very talented and it’s unfortunate Natalie opened her fat mouth and destroyed the group.
My all-time favorite version of the national anthem at the Super Bowl is their version. Better than Whitney Houston.
