Popular Post snoop1130 Posted July 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 22, 2020 More music stars change their 'unacceptable' names Joey Negro will now go under his real name Dave Lee / GETTY IMAGES British dance music DJ Joey Negro is to drop his "unacceptable" stage name and instead go by his real name, Dave Lee. The move comes a day after fellow DJ The Black Madonna stopped using her own moniker, noting that it had caused "controversy, confusion, [and] pain". They are among a number of acts who have changed their names in light of the Black Lives Matter movement. Last month, US bands Lady Antebellum and Dixie Chicks renamed themselves due to links with the slavery era.

JonnyF Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Most hip hop from the 80's and 90's will need to be removed from history based on the lyrics alone. Frequent use of the N word, calling women the B word, denigrating homosexuals, glorifying misogyny, patriarchy etc. Or does the fact they are mostly black artists mean this gets a pass? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brunolem Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 There's also Whitesnake, and I won't even mention Snow White and her contempt for the dwarf minority! Color names should be cancelled altogether because they only cause pain. Why not just use adjectives such as dark, or light, and similar? Life would be so much better for everybody... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceKadet Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I think that the Bible, the Quran, and the Jewish book should all be banned, as they contain many references to slavery, and even offer advice on how to keep and treat slaves (badly). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inactiveposter Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Antebellum literally means before war. Specifically pre-Civil War in the US. It represents a time and a style, not a racial epithet. And the Dixie Chicks dropping Dixie but keeping Chicks? How feminist of them! Enough already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThailandRyan Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Time to dig up the handprints and the stars placed along Hollywood Blvd. Commemorating the success of Musicians and actors and such. If they must change there names to something acceptable then all prior mention needs to go as well. What a bunch of Snowflake, feeble minded individuals we have in this world that just can not move forward from the past and leave history with just a side note. Instead they believe they must change it all or never have fans again. What a bunch of whining sniveling babies there are. Lady Antebellum changed there name to a name already in use by a singer for over 40 years Lady A, and then threatened to sue her if she did not change her name....now that's flicking the booger down the road isn't it. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/lady-antebellum-lawsuit-lady-a_n_5f065102c5b63a72c33cbe7d?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYmluZy5jb20v&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAKBTLOnshUCk2dTg84arcl5N2Cp7K8StzypbwDcKNiDncySD8vGgYs4J8jInFpWKMMSQPaKmrOxyF2ysY9MOVtidpTBLykur3TykkQ9yZja5MzgIspRB6d52U3KLGTlAtW8dXSPyBTGKewczTwNZSP4uO-imdTYxcNWCA3lekgCb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
