I can’t adequately describe the magnitude of the horrible shit we’ve been seeing in my hospital. People are scared to seek care, whether it’s because they are afraid they will become infected during an evaluation for another problem (breast lump or bloody stools) or because they know they might have COVID but also…

Never go alone. So many easy to prevent accidents happen because people go alone. having a 4 year old does not count and is even more of a reason not to go a lone. This happens often at the lake near our house. I think we had one July 4th where someone didn’t drown and it was record. Usually we get a death before and…

I’ve heard them referred to as such on the radio for some time, so yeah.  I still stand by my assessment that ‘Find another name’ would go a lot better for them in the public eye than ‘Pay eight figures’ or ‘Sue black performer’.

Oh FFS.

I had the same reaction to the “pocket change” remark, and did a similar google search. That being said, I have to wonder how much thinking they did about this course of action. Because “We’re changing our name because of racism and then suing a black woman so we can use the name we changed it to” is quite the…

Erykah has a point. When I was dating, men ghosted me when I was nice and caring. But when I blew them off, ignored them, and overall treated them like shit, they were a lot more interested in me. I didn't enjoy that attention. 

I know it’s kinda fucking unbelievable, but I actually can believe they were oblivious to all that the word ‘antebellum’ carries with it. There are a bunch of white people who hear the word ‘antebellum’ and just picture picturesque plantations (just as beautiful estates, somehow avoiding how intrinsic slavery was to…

I heard an interview with them years ago that they came up with the name while touring a plantation and liked how “antebellum” sounded. The answer was there all along.

Apparently it is racist to suspend a body recovery search because of darkness:

On no, not Santana! How sad! I hope that she somehow turns up and this ends up as just one more bizarre Hollywood story.

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)

Let’s be honest- the majority of their fans won’t care. If anything it will solidify their support.

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

Baroness Becky?

Lady Asshole?

Win or lose the lawsuit, they are going to get (rightfully) slaughtered in the court of public opinion for this. Are they trying to kill themselves off? You’re going to file this suit in this climate?

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.
