Stacey Dash has been getting blasted non-stop by angry Black fans on social media all week long after she made embarrassing comments blasting the Black entertainment community on Fox News. Since then, everyone from Dash’s own cousin, Dame Dash, to BET has hurled a barrage of shade at Dash for her comments. Now, Dash has fired back at BET for their criticism of her.
As previously reported, Dash was speaking on Fox News about the backlash over the Oscars’ lack of nominations for Black actors for the second year in a row.
“We have to make up our minds. Either we want to have segregation or integration. If we don’t want segregation, then we need to get rid of channels like BET and the BET Awards and the [NAACP] Image Awards, where you are only awarded if you are black. If it were the other way around we would be up in arms. It’s a double standard. Just like there shouldn’t be a Black History Month. You know, we’re Americans, period. That’s it,” Dash said.
After her comments went viral, BET and the network’s president of music programming, Stephen G. Hill, blasted Dash on Instagram for her comments.
Well, Dash didn’t take too kindly to BET’s shade and she responded by blasting the network in a new blog post on her website. Read Dash’s lengthy response, after the cut.
