Rye Miles #13621 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 So they changed their name to Lady A..........Antebellum is a apparently a reference to life in the south before the civil war........... thoughts?? https://www.cbsnews.com/video/lady-antebellum-changes-band-name-over-connection-to-slavery/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Hangtree Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I couldn't care less. Never listened to them anyway. I only listen to OLD Country Music. The new stuff is nothing but pop/rap, not country in my opinion. Think I'll go plug in a Merle Haggard cd. Maybe Alabama will just have to change their name to "A", since I'm sure the name Alabama would have to be considered racist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South-Eye Ned Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 In order to be sufficiently “commercial” you have to clean up your image to be less offensive to a broader audience and sell more product. It’s about increasing or maintaining revenue. It’s an antiseptic business decision devoid of value other than the bottom line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South-Eye Ned Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I met a fellow businessman, whose name was Bob Lee. Further in the conversation, he eventually admitted that his full name was Robert E. Lee, and he quietly indicated he can’t use his full name for business purposes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is used by historians to refer to the pre-Civil War timeframe. So, "antebellum South" refers to the southern US during the slavery period. That much is fact. But I hardly believe they are glorifying slavery with the name. That said, I couldn't care less what they call themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoken D Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Now they go and take the title name that a Black Woman Singer already has. They keep messing up.

Chili Ron Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Howdy, That is a LATIN term. It existed thousands of years before the Civil war. The Brothers war. Which was about way more than slavery.

Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 They could call themselves "Lady Postbellum" For crying in a bucket...when will this lunacy subside? It's getting so you can't say anything, because it might "offend" someone! There is an old saying..."if you look for the evil in man, you shall surely find it." I suppose someone will say that the use of the word "man" is sexist!!! No matter what...someone(s), somewhere, will find something to complain about Some people see things everywhere they look, even when it is not there, and never has been. I guess my plans to open a oriental restaurant, and call it "Rotsa Ruck", is out of the question now!!!! It won't be long before they censor the last scene of the Christmas movie, with Ralphie, and his family, celebrating at the oriental restaurant. Gee-Whizzy. W.K.

Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 We better all buy that movie now, before some P.C. moron, leftist, Hollywood, television exec, bans it.!!! I'm as serious as a heart attack....this one is destined for the chopping block, or else, to have this part of the movie removed. This movie is doomed anyway. It is set around Christmas; it has no other people groups represented, except the oriental restaurant employees, which are "shown in a bad light"; it's main theme is acquiring a Red Ryder BB gun (oh goodness, laying the foundation for a mass shooter, in the future) Oh, Red Ryder was "white, and had a child companion called "Little Beaver" which shows disrespect to Native Ameicans; it shows Ralphie being punished (heaven forbid we "torture" our children like that!!!) by having to hold a bar of soap in his mouth, as punishment for saying a cuss word; by having the bullies get their come-uppance, and "encouraging" fist fighting; by showing a kid getting his tongue stuck on a frozen flag pole (putting bad ideas in our children's minds); for having a flag pole that flies the American flag; for referring to a child as "orphan" (as in the Orphan Annie de-coding ring). We need to refer to them in a more positive light as a "parent challenged adolescent", and never an "orphan". Heck....thinking about this, I can now see a total ban, and destroying of the movie, It is full of awful things that the P.C. crowd can't tolerate...which means they have made the decision that you can't tolerate it either!!!! It's enough to make you want to wolf in your Wheaties!!! Oops...the gluten free crowd will object to the word "Wheaties"!!! See what I mean! W.K.
