US country music star Dolly Parton has come out in support of Black Lives Matter, in a rare comment on politics.
She told Billboard Magazine: "Do we think our little white asses are the only ones that matter? No!"
With a broad fan base that spans the right and the left, the singer generally eschews political subjects.
Her comments come amid a nationwide reckoning on race that has impacted all of US society, including country music.
Although Ms Parton has not attended Black Lives Matter marches, she said she supported anti-racism activists' right to protest.

I wish that I had even only one-tenth her business savvy!
Regards,
I miss “Dixie.”
You obviously don't know much about Dolly. I've worked with her on tour. The woman is sharp as a tack when it comes to business, more importantly, she has an amazing team of managers who help run her many businesses. She is also one of the most down to earth mega-stars you will ever meet.
Such a uniting the nation factor that BLM harangue has become. Quite the leftist Trojan horse of division. Pay some homage to that golden idol or get ostracized and smeared by the Woke. Dont get snookered Dolly. Youre no racist and so FU BLM the idol of antagonism.
Dolly is a capitalist who’s worth $500 million.
She doesn’t want to alienate 50% of her audience.
What is your evidence she’s not a smart business person?
I used to believe all lives mattered. That was before all the BLM rioting.
Misleading headline? I think she is saying all lives matter.
That guy who shot the 5 year old in NC life doesn’t matter he cashed hid chips in when he did the Devil’s deed.
But don’t dare make the “all lives matter’ statement. I saw someone blasting anyone that tried to compare the Cannon Hinnant killing with the gf killing. WOW! Yes, they are nutz.
Wish those were brains ...
Doesn’t look that way to me.
“But I do not believe Dolly Parton is fine with people burning down police stations and the like. Dolly worked for everything she has so I doubt she aligns with free loaders and thugs.”
Agree 100%.
