They took Auntie Dolly… and Black America is not okay. In this video, we break down the raw, emotional reactions from Black people mourning Dolly Parton after her passing at 80.

Dolly wasn’t just a country music legend — she was one of the rare white celebrities who actually showed up for the Black community with her actions, her money, and her heart.

She openly said “Of course Black lives matter.” And she did it without needing cameras or applause. This is why so many Black people are grieving her like family.
