Young girls called Dixie are being bullied at schools now cause these chicks said it’s racist. Nice one chicks!!!
ReplyAs a progressive northwesterner, I disagree with them dropping “Dixie” from their name. It’s almost as if they’ve “dislocated” themselves. It’s not like they’re waving Confederate flags all over the place…
ReplyI’m with them, wasn’t a big fan of that war or that whole time…he was better than what we have now,which is pretty pitiful
ReplyI certainly respect these women for always having been vocal about what they believe. I could care less about their name change, it’s their strength and perseverance that I respect. Their music is pretty good too.
ReplyYou ruined my joke.
ReplyI used to refer to them as
The Dick Me Chicks.
P.S. Chicks is more derogatory than Dixie lol
As an outsider, a European, growing up I’ve always heard the word “Dixie” in positive connotations, along with the rebel flag in the Dukes of Hazard and the rebels down south (Hollywood depiction), the Dixie song (which is quite catchy) and so forth,..
It’s quite strange and sad to hear that the story behind this never were told in a broader way, although not surprising as the winners of the civil war wasn’t black people, as they had no say in it. They were obviously handed a compromise, an improvement though thanks to Lincoln, of which they never could bargain any further with.
ReplyBut still it’s sad to see and hear that all of these things, of which you have been told were to be good, and have associated with good, in fact wasn’t,..
“Dixi” for me is a type of baby-blue portable toilet cabin, often used by construction workers lol (I’m German), so good choice on dropping that from the name 👍
Had to google what “Dixie” actually refers to, apparently it’s a synonym for the confederacy?

ReplyLet me guess the answer: Because it’s no longer profitable to have a racist name?
ReplyI support you. Did w George W. I am suthun. BUT IT OFFENDS ME. #cruzoozes
Reply…money.
They did it for money.
ReplyThey can really be admired for staying together all these years through the adversity that they faced. Go Chicks!
ReplyIf they really understood the connotations behind the work “Dixie” all those years ago they wouldn’t have called themselves Confederate $$$. Even when they put a band together to make Dixie. Too bad most states shutdown their county fairgrounds this year. Now the $$$ Chicks don’t even have a venue anymore. There might be some truck stops in the south where they can still play live music.

ReplyFunny that she says ”Ducks”
I’ve never quit liking & buying from them, & won’t because of a name. I just love their new music! I loved when they spoke on anything. They’re so smart, & rational, & so far I’ve always agreed, including the infamous time.I can’t wait to buy the new Chicks album today!
ReplyConservatives are so easily triggered! God just for dropping dixie? These women have more courage than the entire trump supporters!
ReplyThey are super gorgeous 🙂 I love them 🙂
ReplyHow’s “the chicks” offensive?
ReplyAlways liked the Chicks, Before and After. You don’t have to be an Idiot to be Country or like Country Music, Some just make that choice. Most Country Folk I knew before the last 30 years had an attitude of “My business is Not yours and your opinion stops at my property line. Stay out of mine and I’ll stay out of yours.” After Reagan it seemed Stupid became the main course until it evolved into a Lifestyle Diet creating the Illness of Trump. In November I heard there is a Vaccine becoming available to begin the eradication as we did in the ’50s and ’60s for Polio.
