The Dixie Chicks drop "Dixie."
But still keep sexist "Chicks."
Apparently not woke enough.
The Dixie Chicks have officially dropped the “Dixie” from their name. The iconic country-pop trio of Natalie Maines, Emily Strayer, and Martie Maguire are now simply called “The Chicks,” changing their website URL and their Instagram handle to the new name on Thursday.
On their website, the trio only offered this statement: “We want to meet this moment.” In a press statement, they added, “A sincere and heartfelt thank you goes out to ‘The Chicks’ of [New Zealand] for their gracious gesture in allowing us to share their name. We are honored to co-exist together in the world with these exceptionally talented sisters. Chicks Rock!”

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

A great example of my beef with this moment. If folks weren't "woke" enough before, and suddenly they are because of "this moment", ok... egg on their face. My respect for black lives, as part of my respect for all lives, has not changed. If you change things now just because of the social pressure, it's time to grow a backbone or admit you were ignorant and/or racist before.
