The all-female group has a history of making revolutionary statements with their brand.

The fallout from the comment was so severe that their group name became a verb, back before being “canceled” was a thing, you could be “Dixie Chicked.”

One important note is that The Dixie Chicks’ name was not just derived from being from The South.

In a recent article, right before the announcement of the name change Variety writer, Jeremy Helligar, said the word Dixie “is the epitome of white America, a celebration of a Southern tradition that is indivisible from Black slaves and those grand plantations where they were forced to toil for free.”
