They were likely afraid of getting sued but still, that's a good pre-emptive move

Reply to Man Arrested in Miami for Role in January 6 Insurrection at U.S. Capitol by -Ima-Phat-Cookie-Ho-
>Federal investigators wrote they identified the man from a YouTube video where he was at times carrying a Confederate flag - and at one point, investigators wrote he sprayed a Capitol police officer with mace.
If he had been a person of colour, he would have been handled "very differently"...like President Obama agrees and the Head of Capitol Security agrees
"very differently" = shot dead

I take it more as marketing than being Woke
Many venues and labels wouldn't want to deal with the social backlash of booking them
Would be a hard sell
Similar to just change the band name

>On June 25, 2020, the band announced that To Better Days would be their final release under the name Slaves, on a Facebook statement, the band wrote,
As obstinate supporters of the BLM movement, we cannot continue to tie our music and our positive message to a word associated with such negative weight and hurt.[31]

She's likely telling that same story and having a laugh at you (in a good way) being embarrassed since she likely knew the band...
I, as a person of color, had someone say that, to motivate me, they were going to whip me...
Awkward eye moment
They said "I cannot believe I said that"
They didn't mean it in a racial manner just like you didn't

That tracks
>"Someone once wrote on our Facebook wall, ‘Nobody but African-Americans have a right to use the word slaves.’"
That's BS

I would really like to know which "Well-regulated militia" this woman belonged to, was going to belong to, had belonged to that warranted her having a weapon.
/me settling back and getting ready for the following false arguments
-
The 2A says the right to bear arms shall not be infringed - despite the fact that they are in fact legally infringed all the time
-
"well-regulated" means in working order, not actual regulations
-
a militia means "all the people"
-
something equally stupid
