Hot Damn!
The Country Queen come on board the ‘Black Lives Matter’ view….
Props to ya Dolly fro saying this where you’re from…..
One hopes she gets no issues with her feeling’s down South…
Acclaimed country singer and performer Dolly Parton voiced her support for the Black Lives Matter movement in a wide-ranging interview with Billboard.
“Of course Black lives matter,” Parton told the magazine. “Do we think our little white asses are the only ones that matter? No!”
She added: “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.”
Her comments come a few years after Parton decided to remove the word “Dixie” from the name of her dinner show attraction, now known simply 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.”….

Good fot Dolly!
It’s worth noting that she has advised politics for the most part.
A sign that BLM is moving mainstream instead of only being a progressive cause.
Scott P says
Thanks for cleaning up my typos but “advised” should be “avoided”
Dolly has mostly been apolitical.
BLM is becoming less a political wedge issue and more of a commonly accepted belief.
Scott P says
Sorry for all the typos. This site us murder for mobile devices.
jamesb says

James, When are we going to create a user-friendly mobile version of this site? It is especially problematic when you have replies to replies to replies. Maybe it is time to start spending a portion of those profits you made from the porn advertisements you used to run?

Bring back those Russian women!
Democratic Socialist Dave says
I don’t think they were porn so much as appealing to sad, lonely-hearts (present company of course excluded!) with a lot of trust and hope (or hopelessness).
When a connection led to marriage, it was the Russian (or Ukrainian or Belarusian) girl’s ticket into a relatively-prosperous Western country such as the U.S., U.K., or Canada.
jamesb says
Lots of Reality shows on them trying to hook up with Americans on cable
Zreebs says
You are right Dave. I was just going out of my way not to embarrass James. But you are right. It would be more appropriate to say that James was trying to peddle comfort women than to say he was peddling porn.
jamesb says
He, he, he….
Z?
I had no connect with what ads first came up….
What about the knives?
But then ur just messing with me🤣
My Name Is Jack says
Peddler
Zreebs says
I’m harmless James. I would not deliberately hurt anyone.
jamesb says
That’s good to hear….
jamesb says
He, he, he….
Google took me out of the ad business here…
