Really? Can they win since the other lady was using it first? Seems pretty shady to me.

[The Iceman Cometh]

LOL - RACISTS!!!!

[Paladin2]

Totally Cultural Appropriation.

There oughta be a Law...

[lee martell]

Maybe they should call themselves ‘The Tarbabies’.

[adorno]

Country group Lady A, which dropped the word “Antebellum,” from their name because of the word's ties to slavery, has filed a lawsuit against a Black singer who has performed as Lady A for years.

Seems pretty black and white to me.

[Irenic]

Phew! The stupid burns!

[Dilbert San Diego]

How is it that they were “Lady Antebellum” and now “Lady A”, when the group is one girl and two guys????? They are misnamed in the first place.

[yesthatjallen]

They changed their name to virtue signal now they're suing a black lady because they took her name.

Do they believe people are now going to love them?

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

That’s great. A bunch of white people who don’t want to be associated with cotton-pickin’ days sue a black woman to stop her from using a name she has used to twenty years. They may have trademarked the name, but a lawsuit doesn’t make them look very good.

[VideoDoctor]

It's more than likely it's NOT trhe girls themselves filing suit but the label putting out their new album and they're trying to run over the ORIGINAL Lady A

They're really hoping that the original Lady A will accept some kind of settlement and they can move on.

By the way... if I'm not mistaken the ORIGINAL Lady A is a BLACK blues singer who has used the name for 20 years.

which dropped the word “Antebellum,” from their name because of the word's ties to slavery

Well; technically, the word is tied to war, not slavery. “Antebellum” means "before the war" and makes no allusion to slavery directly. People who make the link to slavery from the word probably do so because they have dirty minds; or at least racist, anyway.

[abigkahuna]

I know of Lady A for years up in the PNW..the gal rocks it on stage. Great soul and blues singer. Can find a set of hers at tela.sugarmegs.org I really can’t believe how the other broad gets off on thinking she can sue...what a maroon....

[Xeroes80]

I hope they lose the lawsuit. They never should have changed their name in the first place. Morons...

[Fiji Hill]

Why did they drop Antebellum from their name? The Antebellum era (1815-1861) gave us socialism, Marxism and the Democrat Party.

[Tacrolimus1mg]

I hope they lose. That’s what you get for catering to the mob.

[proud American in Canada]

Oh come on. The Lady needs to get over herself.

This other person was using that name.

[Jane Long]

Lady A-hoes.

[Newbomb Turk]

Trying to become the new Dixie Chicks huh. I can’t imagine a worse idea than going forward with this idea at this time in history. Not a single bit of good publicity for the group will come of this and they will LOSE.

[Long Jon No Silver]

Too bad Lady Ga Ga is taken. Lady Gag would be challenged by Ga Ga.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Ridiculous on many levels.

First of all, what is wrong with the word antebellum? It literally means "before the war". You could say that the 1920s and 1930s were antebellum years in America.

Second of all, this spineless so-called "country" music group is a Johnny-come-lately as far as the name goes. The black singer's use of the name predates the "country" band's use of the name.

Sniveling clueless sheeple. So "antebellum" is racist? Yeah right. Just like vanilla ice cream is "racist".
