In a new interview with Billboard, Dolly Parton gives the best quote about why Black lives matter, and why ego shouldn't play into tackling racism.
“I understand people having to make themselves known and felt and seen,” she said. “And of course Black lives matter. Do we think our little White asses are the only ones that matter? No!”
And there you have it. Honestly, what more needs to be said? A “blue” life isn’t a thing because you can’t remove Black skin at the end of a work day. And white people do not have a monopoly on existence. But Dolly didn’t stop there — she also shared details on why she decided to rename a Civil War-themed dinner attraction at Dollywood, her theme park in Tennessee and Missouri. Two years ago, she changed the name of the attraction from the “Dixie Stampede” to “The Stampede” after she became aware that the term “Dixie” has painful, Confederate roots.
“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.” –
