This Lady Antabellum thing is crazy bc

1) No one told y’all to change your name— we just want to end systemic racism

2) Why didn’t you and your team RESEARCH the name to make sure it was clear

3) You’re erasing a Black woman and SUEING her instead of finding a new name?!?
Got damn I was SUCH a huge fan of @ladya I loved their music but fuck them. You’re erasing a Black woman bc you HAVE to have that name?!? That’s racist !!!

Find a new name god damn!
And that’s the performative bull shit Black women are talking about. Fuck your black squares and your name changes — ARE YOU AMPLYING US OR SMOTHERING US?!?
White people like @ladya will weaponize lawyers and police against powerless Black people and still call themselves allys. Fuck outta here.
