I am shocked how some people still hold it against them what Natalie said almost 20 years ago. Admittedly, I don't think that it was wise considering how many of her fans were country music fans. Linda Ronstadt was saying similar things, but appeared unscathed because her fans were different. True story- my 8th grade History teacher (a die-hard Repub and proud Mex-American like myself) walked out of a LR concert in Las Vegas when Linda started bad-mouthing George W in her concert.
Country music fans can be a patriotic bunch.
What Natalie said in 2003 stuck in their memory pretty bad because as far as country fans go, there are some things that you just don't do as an American.
Natalie may as well have taken a dump on the flag on stage.

LOL, you know nothing about me. Assume what you want, but it matters little what you think offends me or what you think my political opinions are about anything. Dixie is a fine name, and I'm keeping it. Don't like it? put me on ignore.
You can't put me into any box, I'll tell you that much.
Lol, getting pretty defensive there, i didn't assume a thing about you...unlike what you did to me. Want to keep that name , good for you. I'm a not in support of all the stupidity of name changes, logo changes etc.
Except for those who want to keep the confederacy alive in their own small, narrow minds.
Why should we erase, ignore and forget past history? The Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, British, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, etc all had colonial pasts, and conquered and oppressed people. Many of them Brown. Do we erase and forget all of their past also?
Dixie is strongly associated with the secessionist states that fought to maintain slavery and later followed practices such as segregation and peonage. Ergo it's linked to cultural racism.
This is one of the reasons I'm okay with the Dixie Chicks changing their name.

You consistently make yourself look irrelevant. If the Confederacy and Slavery still existed, you'd have a point. But since it ended 155 YEARS ago, and we've also put in place laws and policy to address all past wrongs, your statement is ridiculous and purely meant to give you some type of weird personal satisfaction to make you feel better about yourself. Stop feeling so guilty. I don't think you're as racist as you think.
I didn't know they were still around and an surprised anyone cares.
I heard their new band name is "The Karen's " Seems about right.
