I don't tolerate Communism and Antifa beating up people.

She had always kept quiet about openly talking politics, no matter what had gone on in this country. Until now. Why now? Oh yeah, the cancel culture. She's smart enough to know that even people as far up the ladder as she is can be canceled.

If Dolly loves the BLM so much I want her to prove it by coming here to Chicago next time they are in town rioting.

NO ONE wants to hear this "woke" BS and it belies the weak nature of those in the entertainment industry- they are terrified of speaking the truth, lest they be shunned by their fellow entertainers and the industry.

Instead of being "brave" and "independent", they are simply repeating the industry mantra out of conformity and fear. The "daring" and "independent rebels" are those who speak up for the truth and conservative causes.

She is an idiot. Liberals do not go to "Dolly World" and supporting idiotic liberal causes alienates 90% of her fans.

Guess we will see if Dollywood dies now? Icons have a way of being more then a Political reference they make. They are loved for what they contributed to them in their lifetimes.

How some see their politics alone defines them and in a lifetime of being revered ..... should be just now have them seen as VERMON and EVIL and FORGOTTEN says a lot of you and the America you want.

Again, Dolly was always Liberal. No one ever saw her as a ideal of Conservatism or housewife type and had a life of never concealing her surgeries and face-lifts and tucks and wig wearing.... clearly did not scream Conservative.

*** All Loved her for her, her personality and talent and still as American a ICON. known even in the world. I do not think most Conservatives will see her as to be shunned and legacy buried .... She is far too much for that. Like a lifetime vs this awful year to define one as some like you seem to believe. She is far far bigger then what the Dixie Chicks went thru in shunned.

BLM is making themselves "known and felt". They are domestic terrorists.

The premise of ther so called movement is a lie.

That being said, Dolly's words were meant to be a statement of common sense and she isn't a politician. She shouldn't have said anything, but she did. Its fine. Long live Dolly.

NO, she doesn't deserve a pass---BECAUSE BLM is anti-white, anti-blue, and anti-AMERICA!! That's a fact!

Dolly Parton is a talented singer, a successful businesswoman, and a generous philanthropist. Why she would say anything in favor of a terrorist group who hates her race, who hates her success, and gives nothing but destroys everything, I'll never know. Other posters have suggested that her words meant something else, and given the relative ambiguity of her statement, I'm willing to believe that. I just hope that someone who is as smart, ambitious, and downright good as she is, won't fall for the evil that is BLM.

I wouldn't take that quote, especially out of context, as her supporting the organization BLM.

You can support the sentiment without supporting the political agenda of the organization itself.

But that's why the organization chose that name and phrase .....

To purposely conflate the two, in order to garner more support from the blissfully ignorant.
