Media Pushes Dolly Parton to Give BLM Stance, Fires Back With Equivocal Response

Parton

Famous singer, Dolly Parton was asked about the Black Lives Matter movement in an interview with Billboard magazine.

Parton Makes Controversial BLM Remarks

Parton has not participated in any BLM marches but the Billboard called her support of the controversial movement as “unequivocal.”

“Of course Black lives matter,” Parton told the magazine. “Do we think our little white asses are the only ones that matter? No!”

When the topic delved into philosophy, Parton quipped back, “First of all, I’m not a judgmental person.”

“All these good Christian people that are supposed to be such good Christian people, the last thing we’re supposed to do is to judge one another. God is the judge, not us. I just try to be myself. I try to let everybody else be themselves,” she added.

Hollywood Star Talks Politics

74-year-old Parton usually tries to stay away from political topics but a few years ago she removed the word “Dixie” from her dinner show attraction which is known as “The Stampede.”

“There’s such a thing as innocent ignorance, and so many of us are guilty of that,” she told Billboard. “When they said ‘Dixie’ was an offensive word, I thought, ‘Well, I don’t want to offend anybody. This is a business. We’ll just call it The Stampede.’ As soon as you realize that [something] is a problem, you should fix it. Don’t be a dumbass. That’s where my heart is. I would never dream of hurting anybody on purpose.”

George Floyd died while in police custody in May, and since BLM and ANTIFA riots have been destroying parts of cities across the country.

Dems and Reps at Odds Over BLM

Democrats have continued to be staunch supporters of the movement but many Republicans have called out the extreme hypocrisy, violence and double standards related to the issue.

In November 2019, Parton went journalist Jad Abumrad’s podcast and discussed President Trump.

She said, “What I really wanted to say was, ‘If you hate the president so much, why don’t we pray for him?’”

  1. Sorry, Dolly, but if you bend and sway in every political breeze that blows, you’re the dumbass. You’re correct, they’re just words, but if you kowtow to thugs, they will only make more and more demands, because they know you’re running scared. And thugs are essentially just bullies, and bullies will pick on the weak an the scared. What other concessions are you willing to make to appease bullies?
