4) On being advised that they are basically stealing a black woman’s name, Band say they will work it out but that apparently does not include paying her money that is likely pocket change to a band this successful (feels like the reparations debate tbh)

On point three - it feels like their ‘new’ name is akin to adding a winky face emoji on the end

The Chicks just turned their back on 30 years of branding, and won’t lose a dime, because their product speaks for itself.

Was Lady Karen already taken?

I mean, let’s look at this series of events:

I had hope that they’d...woke up. The Chicks just turned their back on 30 years of branding, and won’t lose a dime, because their product speaks for itself. This group should be ashamed.

You mean a band of white folks with Grammys and a lot of money legally bullying a Black woman into changing her performance moniker ISN’T racial justice?

Has it occurred to you that black women can disagree with other black women?

I think anything that keeps Breonna’s murder alive in peoples’ minds is a good thing. So you don’t really like memes. That’s fine, you’re not the only one. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t a powerful vehicle that certain generations have come to prefer. I think anyone who thinks things have gotten too meme-y would do…

Yep yep. That’s why I say that you’ll never hear a grocery store owner complain about food stamp users. It’s a stimulus every month.

This. People making 250k+ aren't spending money like poor people do.

We shouldn’t punish responsible people because of the irresponsible people. The extra $600 might make people lazy, but who really gives a fuck? It’s money they are guaranteed because of how fucked the country is. I’d rather my fellow citizens be ok than so desperate that they have to put a gun in my face so they can…

one thing to remember is almost ALL of this, and the previous $1200 stimulus went right back into the local economy. not too many people hoarded or invested it, which is what happens when the well-off get their tax cut.

My husband is currently on unemployment and receiving the extra $600 per week and we don’t “need” it per se, but we are saving it in case we do.
