I like Dolly Parton. I think it is a no win question to ask do black lives matter the obvious answer is yes you do.
But I do not believe Dolly Parton is fine with people burning down police stations and the like. Dolly worked for everything she has so I doubt she aligns with free loaders and thugs.

In the current climate, making even the most-innocuous statement about "Black Lives" aligns you - in the minds of many people - with either 1) rioting thugs or 2) Trump-supporters. The dichotomy is absolute. The more differentiated and nuanced your statement, the more people you will alienate (meaning: the BLM activists will sense that you aren't fully on their side - i.e., you are the ENEMY - while at the same time rational people will perceive you as naïve and/or weak).

Regards,

All she had to say was I’d rather not get into it. Like a lot of smart business people are doing. Get woke go broke. But she’s not a smart business person.

But don’t dare make the “all lives matter’ statement. I saw someone blasting anyone that tried to compare the Cannon Hinnant killing with the gf killing. WOW! Yes, they are nutz.

Agree 100%.
