Dixie (also known as Dixieland) is a nickname for the Southern United States, especially those states that composed the Confederate States of America. The term originally referred to the states south of the Mason–Dixon line, but now is more of a cultural reference, referring to parts of the southern United States.
Interesting dangerous minds link, Slacker. I'm not justifying Grace Slick's blackface, but her reasons are kind of classic Grace (I'm thinking of the time she got an invite to a party thrown by one of Nixon's daughters at the White House; Grace took Abbie Hoffman as her plus-one and allegedly brought a boatload of acid with her to spike the punch bowl).
1. “If you listen to the words of ‘Crown of Creation,’ think about a spade singing it. It makes a lot of sense.”
2. “Women wear makeup all the time, so why not black? Next time maybe I’ll wear green. Makeup is pretty silly anyway…”
3. “I did it because it was a trip; it’s weird to have blue eyes and a black face.”
4. “The whole thing started when I was watching TV and someone said that blacks look better on television in closeups, so I wandered around the house wearing blackface and flashing on myself in the mirror. Perhaps a bored socialite can do the same thing and go shopping in blackface and maybe pick up some bargains.”
5. “There weren’t any blacks on the show and the quota needed a little readjustment.”
Will they have to re name route 1 that is currently called the Dixie Highway all thru Florida. I was surprised that the place we vacationed in Florida didn't desegregate their schools until 1976. Black face is most certainly a bad look today, but wasn't frowned upon in the not so distant past
Love me some Natalie, love them Dixie Chicks. Any sourhern belles who can sing and play like them are fine with me, they are suuuper talented. The redneck right wing toby keith gw bush djstump repub pig vomit hating in their music makes em damn near perfect.
Change your name, why not, everybody else is doing it.
Never cared much for their version of Country-Pop anyway, and Lady Antebellum can fuck right off, they're nothing but straight-up posers.
Remember the story about when President Lincoln (the Great Emancipator) got the word of Lee's surrender of the Army of Virginia at Appomattox Court House, and was asked by the conductor of the Army Band what song he wanted to hear? He responded, "Dixie, I always liked that song."
Wonder what Levon Helm would have said about this?
>>I can't seem to keep up with everything we're supposed to be outraged by.
Just the big, meaningful, pragmatically relevant stuff...a band changing its name or the reasons for doing so probably don't qualify.
I try to only be outraged by actions and beliefs of others that do or could pose some sort of harm to other human beings life, liberty or pursuit of happiness.
If the Dixie Chicks want to make their personal statement or start their desired conversation by changing their name, I think they have that right and don't feel I'm expected to react strongly one way or the other. Certainly, though, the difference between Dixie and South should be pretty apparent, whatever you feel about that distinction.
The term "Civil War" was a dirty word at my grandma's house. It was always the "War Between the States." So I guess they could rename the Ducks v. Beavers games "The War Between the Schools."
And a big Fuck You goes out to Lady Antebellum today. Suing an African American singer who has gone by the name of Lady A for over 20 years, just cuz they want to use the name Lady A. Talk about white privilege.
Didn't realize we had so many fuckin Perry Masons around here :)
So anti-bedlam owned the name forever, an A on a contract that only them and their lawyers knew about, yet they allowed an activist blues jazz gospel singer sista to use the name for over 20 years saying nothing. And now with the degree of civil discourse we're going thu, want their A back. Ok, an even bigger Fuck You to the all white pricks.

The Dixie Dregs were way ahead of the curve on this. They dropped "Dixie" from their name about 40 years ago.
(But they were way better before they changed their name)
And I guess I'm dim, but can someone explain how "Dixie" expressly represents racism or bias?
What's next, the word South? Those of us who live in Santa Clara County will have to start referring to it as "the Low Bay"?
