Country music legend Dolly Parton spoke out in support of the Black Lives Matter movement during a recent interview with Billboard magazine.
In an article published this week, Parton, 74, said that while she hasn't participated in the protests sparked by the deadly police shooting of Minneapolis man George Floyd, she supports demonstrators' right "to make themselves known and felt and seen."
"And of course Black lives matter," she told the magazine. "Do we think our little white [expletive] are the only ones that matter? No."
Parton added that she's "not a judgmental person" and believes that "we all have a right to be exactly who we are."
In addition, she explained why she decided in 2018 to drop the word "Dixie" from the name of her dinner theaters in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, and Branson, Missouri, now known as Dolly Parton's Stampede, following criticism.

As usual, the headline is lying.
There’s a huge difference between saying “Black Lives Matter” and supporting the movement.
Since when did he get shot?
Probably along the same time Dolly started supporting BLM.
Nice empire ya got there, Ms. Parton.
*************
Dolly prolly won’t be inviting BLM activists to any of her establishments anytime soon. That would be bad for her empire and her business interests. Just saying.
Dolly was always a massive leftist
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And her rightist is pretty massive too!
Some day - in fantasy land - the lying MSM will print a pack of lies like this story, and FReepers wont kneejerk into believing it.
Sadly, today is not that day.
Senile old marxist.
Read the article. Dolly didn’t say Floyd was shot. She did not endorse the BLM movement. She is far from a moron and has always made it a policy to remain non partisan. Billboard magazine is a mouthpiece for the leftist entertainment industry and put a lot of stuff in the article that weren’t quotes. For 40 years she has quietly done more for the people of her home area than you can imagine. She came from a place where “white privilege” meant less than zero and is sitting on an empire she built worth 9 figures. What have you got?
What an silicone breasted idiot. Dolly Now supports a Marxist takeover of America, Destruction of the Nuclear family, and the Queering of our children. Just wow...
I have long thought her the epitome of the word hypocrite!
Dolly should put her money where her mouth is and invite the BLM Marxists (especially their leaders) to visit some of her business establishments that primarily cater to working class, law abiding Americans. You know, something like a special BLM day to commemorate violence, lies and the abolition of the nuclear family. Let’s she how committed she really is to supporting BLM and its radical objectives.
I think she does. It's just the lying MSM bastards took a little innocent remark and stretched it in how she supports Burning, Looting, Murder.
And clearly Dolly does not support that movement.
Bye bye Dolly.
Someone said it best: shut up and sing.
I’m not sure she can do a such a complex cost/benefit analysis like that.
**************
Smart and principled people don’t go off half cocked saying things that are contrary to their interests. People like her get caught in the moment and say what they think is convenient for their image at the time. These are ego driven people who think the world is hanging on their next word.
“deadly police shooting of Minneapolis man George Floyd,”
They just can’t help themselves, can they?
You do know why blacks get pissed at shootings? It’s because the perp doesn’t get arrested until. Weeks or months (if at all) after the fact. That white kids murderer was arrested immediately!!!!! Why have riots when justice is served in the white community. Get it?
Dolly and Alyssa Milano- Both known for their big “brains”.
They showed the video again on CBS This morning, although not a shooting, they are fanning the flames just like a good corrupt media outlet should.
She came from a place where “white privilege” meant less than zero and is sitting on an empire she built worth 9 figures. What have you got?
****************
So wealth is a measure of personal value? There are lots of people in this world with vast wealth and financial empires but you probably wouldn’t want to be friends with most of them. Wealth has a way of corrupting people and distorting their views of the world around them. Just saying.
The quote doesn’t necessarily match the first line. Supporting BLM the organization is not the same as believing “black lives matter.”
