Subject: Dixie Carter Must Be Rolling in Her Grave
Written By: LyricBoy on 06/25/20 at 6:24 pm
In the race to see who is the most "woke", has-been musical group The Dixie Bims Chicks have changed their name to simply The Chicks. ::) Because, you know, the term "Dixie" is offensive.

Dixie Carter must be rolling in her grave. That is, if somebody hasn't already sandblasted the first name from her headstone.

Wow this is getting more and more ridiculous. I suppose Dixie cups will have to find a new name too. And a whole lot of country and southern Rock acts will be changing or disappearing. I may never see reruns of Dukes of Hazzard again.
I’m waiting to see when they decide to cancel Washington and Jefferson, replace currency and blow up half of mt Rushmore. As technically we are glorifying slave owners. But thankfully that will probably never happen as it requires actual thinking about history. The stuff people are going after is just total BS and was never a problem, they’re just looking to stir the pot.

The George Jefferson character will need to be removed from The Jefferson’s reruns too, which will be renamed The Willises.

Most people never had a problem with the names of Aunt Jemima, Lady Antebellum, or the Dixie Chicks until these people and companies started to virtue signal after the protests. This is so utterly pathetic.

I work with a “partner company” that only last year named themselves Dixie Inc. I guess they’re screwed now.
Although I am pretty sure that if anybody complains to them about the name, the complainer will be told to go pack sand.

Aunt Jemima doesn't sound bad at all. It's like I'm calling my aunt...
I don't understand what the big deal is. ::)

They can call the syrup Jemima and leave out the aunt part.

The stupidity has spread to Australia:

I guess this means that we’ll soon be seeing a ban on “Chico and the Man” reruns here in the states.
