So the word Antebellum is bigoted?


Hate speech.

Here is a thought: Since English itself is the language of the original slave owners, should it be considered the preeminent hate language, and speaking it is considered Hate Speech?

We should shed Hate Speech in its basic form and all learn Swahili.

My wife doesn't curse much at all. But when she does, I have to admit it's a turn on.

The only appropriate name change would be to shorten it to La-a


I'm partial to them changing their name to:

Complete bullshite.

One group starts running their collective mouths and companies start knuckling under.


This is as bad as Jessie Jacking extorting money out of GM to keep him from telling his sheep not to buy GM.

Of course it is, and you're lying to yourself if you say that dress, speech, architecture, culture, etc., hasn't been celebrated in the south for decades.

Like I said, I think the name change is stupid, but sometimes words have more context to them than just their dictionary definition.

Jesus dude...

Dixieland Delight by Alabama okay with you?

It has the word dixie in it... One of my all time favorite songs and bands.

Guess, according to you, they need to rewrite it and rerecord it?

Just shut up, don't answer me. I don't even want to talk to you about this.

So dressing and a particular accent and a style of architecture are inherently problematic because of slavery?

Well shite, is our entire founding problematic because of it?

That's how this works, right?

I think the name change is dumb, but I'm not going to pretend it's just a completely innocent word either.

IOW, if anything remotely references Southern culture, it's not innocent? That about cover it?

It's the backbone to their movement

Discredit and dismantle and rely on the spineless to pave the way for it

I'll bet you a thousand dollars if you pulled everyone of them aside alone none of them know what antebellum really means. I'll bet 90% of the posters on td don't know without looking it up. 1000 bucks says the vast majority think the denotation is limited to the South or America or even the 1800s. hint there have been ante bellums for thousands of years, even long before those were words.

That’s only a problem because a lot of people are stupid and have no ability to deal with nuance.
