Today, the real "Lady A" spoke out and said she hasn't been consulted about some other group taking over her name (https://www.theblaze.com/news/lady-a...-singer-lady-a)


Some folks can't win...

The two words most commonly associated with democrats in any headline is outraged and demand. If they don't have anything to be outraged about or to make demands about, they just make something up.

That's a stretch -- maybe they decided they didn't like the name anyways.

I’m sure lots of Antebellum ladies were quite racist but the band doesn’t have to change their name.

I guess they want to.

I like their music. I don't think anyone had a problem with their name, I certainly didn't. I think they changed it on their own out of respect.

If you are at all honest, you will acknowledge that FACT.
You are perfectly well aware of how the Lost Cause romanticists use the word antebellum to describe their pretty world, where Gallantry took its last bow in the land of Cavaliers and Cotton Fields.

Don't be deliberately obtuse (well, I assume deliberately) and pretend that "it just means before war".

The band took steps to avoid being associated with that, and good on them.

Well considering democrats are the party of slavery, KKK, and Jim Crow, it’s funny to see liberals now kneejerk reacting to destroying their own part of history.

I guess you missed my point. Maybe purposely or not??? The "Context" is that the band meant nothing racist nor pro slavery by choosing that name and that is how people should construe it. To get all hot and bothered by the word "Antebellum" is beyond juvenile. It is just people looking for another excuse to be offended and with the "LOOK AT ME" culture Social Media has created, just another way to Virtue Signal.
