SJW tried To Destroy Dolly Parton ‘Dixie Stampede’
“Advertised as an ‘extraordinary dinner show … pitting North against South in a friendly and fun rivalry,’ Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede is the Lost Cause of the Confederacy meets Cirque du Soleil,” Harris wrote in her hit piece on Parton for Slate. “It’s a lily-white kitsch extravaganza that play-acts the Civil War but never once mentions slavery.”
The “smoking gun” of proof of Dolly’s supposed racism that Harris thought she had on this lighthearted venue was that audience was divided into two sides – the “north” and the “south.” When Harris checked the venue out for herself, she found that there were people of both races sitting on each side of the dinner theater, and it wasn’t racially divided as she wrongfully assumed.
In fact, her whole point in exposing little Dolly Parton and her dinner theater as a hotbed of hate backfired when the only shred of racism she “uncovered” was wood finishes on the bathroom signs. With the “Northerners” sign painted black and the “Southerners” in yellow, this was all Harris could contrive in her own twisted mind as being bigoted.
“I did at least have time to run to the bathroom—a necessity after three and a half hours of sucking down lemonade by the bootful. This seemed like it could be a nice break, but when I got there, I stumbled upon this:”
“’Southerners Only’ on a light-colored placard and ‘Northerners Only’ on a dark-colored placard,” Harris noted.
“This was, at best, horrifyingly tone-deaf, but I went in the ‘Southerners Only’ stall anyway because it was the only one open and my bladder felt ready to explode.”
However, just when Harris thought she had all the supposedly racist propaganda to take Dolly and her Dixie Stampede down, she emerged from the restroom to catch the final act of the show. If she hoped that Dolly was going to come out and don a white sheet and pointed KKK cap, she got the complete opposite.
The country singer secretly won this silent fight against her despite the subsequent slam piece on Slate that followed. Rather than looking like a racist, she proved to be just the opposite in the closing act when Dolly brought both sides together in a way that racist rioters can’t, by saying “We’re all Americans.”

Apparently, just being from the South is enough.
And, since the crazies are going after American heroes having nothing to do with the Civil War or the South, pretty soon anybody who doesn't see things their way, like Ben Carson (who's been called a white supremacist), will be a target, regardless of race.
Looks like it's time to stock up on ammo.
Aisha Harris is the same writer who thinks Santa Claus should no longer be portrayed as white. Sounds like the woman has issues upstairs.
She should have watched the show on acid. It might have been a more entertaining article.
I'm sure many of them are offended by the notion they are Americans too.
The only problem I had with the Dixie Stampede was it was expensive.
There are two big reasons why nobody will ever turn normal Americans against Dolly.
Brother played the Confederate General for years. My favorite part was the bluegrass concert beforehand. The civil war bit is, or once was, just part of the show. Mostly it's trick riding, buckboard races, camel races (at Christmas), pig races, ostrich races ....
Tightly organized, highly professional, production.
