Stacey Dash. Remember her?
BET. Trying to forget it?
Will you will/won't after this story.
Dash, currently a contribitor to the Fox News Channel, gabbed about her thoughts about Viacom-owned network, its award ceremony franchise the BET Awards, awards shows catered to African Americans in general and Black History Month to Steve Doocy on Fox and Friends (OF COURSE).
All of what she said is found in this clip provided by DJ Akademiks.

"...where you're only awarded if you're black."
Wench...shut...the fuck...up.
Okay...listen up, little miss thing.
There's a reason we have BET and the BET Awards. It's to honor and nominate African Americans in the fields of music, sports and acting that have been largely overlooked by other networks and network awards ceremonies--even if most nominees are either overrated or largely untalented. I'm not as much a fan of them as I was in the past several years, but if anything, they haven't segregated anybody! Granted, the number of white musicians or actors that have been showcased on BET or nominated for BETAs can be counted on my hands, but they're obviously there. Hell, a couple of them even won awards! Including one last year--Sam Smith won for Best New Artist, the first Caucasian to do so. Plus, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis have won Best Group in 2012. And they're a part of the few who have also been nominated--Eminem, Justin Timberlake, Robin Thicke, Justin Bieber, Iggy Azalea and Lady Gaga.
And the Image Awards honors all actors of color; black, Asian, Indian and Latino. Even whites too have been nominated and won.
What the hell does BET, the BET Awards or the Image Awards (or any others) have anything to do with segregation? Just because these ceremonies honor and celebrate one or a few races other than white, doesn't mean it's grounds for removal from the public consciousness. In fact, speaking on the Image Awards, you're probably angry about that, because you've never been nominated for one.
(At least that's what I can think of.)
As for BET, they took this as no laughing matter and responded quickly with the best response ever, via this statement from its CEO and chairwoman Debra Lee:
"
Over 35 years ago BET was created to give African Americans and lovers of black culture a place in the television landscape where they could consistently see themselves represented and celebrated. Through our award shows and programming we have recognized incredible talent that simply does not get recognized elsewhere — from entertainment to politics to business to the arts. African American contributions to American culture are countless and we cannot and should not wait for anyone to acknowledge them — we have to do it ourselves and we are proud that we can do our part with the BET Awards, BET Honors, Black Girls Rock, Soul Train Awards, BET Hip Hop Awards, Celebration of Gospel and more!"
and this tweet from its Twitter account that really ripped her apart with this reference its series The Game--where she guest starred, that pretty much made us all respect it more.
🤔 Soooooo @REALStaceyDash can we get our check back... or nah?

(haha. burn.)
and if that wasn't, the network's website has an article detailing everything that she's done or said that ended up making her look even more like a damn fool.
And, as a bonus, here is Roland Martin from TVOne (another network catered to African Americans) also destroying her for her words, saying more than I ever thought. (And as you watch, you'll be surprised at something: dat ass.)

And back to speaking of removal, since you have a logic of certain things going a certain way, than we might as well remove the Oscars (at least this year for the white nominees conto.) and the Golden Globes and the ALMA Awards (for focusing on Latino actors), and the WWE Slammy Awards (for catering squarely on WWE Superstars), and the BAFTAs (for its inclusion of English actors) for focusing on the same group of people.
And apparently, since you've mentioned only black people. you've forgot about Asians, Latinos, Indians and many other ethnicities, who've fought just as hard as (if not more than) blacks have to recognized as equal races in America. What you're implying could sound extremely unfair to them, because they're not worth a part of this nation. And Fuck you for that!
But forget about that, we're talking about BET, right??
"...just like there is a Black History Month."
Stop. Stop. Stop right there, you fucking stupid cunt.
You know goddamn well why there is a Black History Month. To honor, celebrate and commemorate the people who fought hard and worked hard to make themselves and our race an equal entity of this nation. To recognize our race as an actual thing, and not an imaginary afterthought. And to give our future predecessors a good, safe, happy life (Including you, as shown with your career, like in Clueless and on Fox News). Sadly, we have a long way to go, as seen with the Black Lives Movement today. But you have no fucking right to say it should be removed, especially because you're saying this on a network chock full of white hosts and commentators
(and I dare you to tell me there are as many black personalities on that network as there are white there, too).
Pretty much every other day outside of February is White History Month, and it's proven in some national holidays--St. Patrick's Day, Columbus Day, Leif Erickson Day. I get that she wants BHM to be removed so that many luminaries of all races can be celebrated, but her wording left a lot (and I mean it) to be desired.
I've given Raven-Symone crap for criticizing people with "ghetto" names (Watermelondraya, anyone?), but she doesn't deserve as much wrath or hatred for what I'm about to give to her.
(I could say I understand where she's going because we as a nation have become more close-knitted in race, and that many races should be nominated for the same acting awards...but I'm not...because everything she was saying is fucking stupid.
Stacey Dash...you are a nuisance. To the African American community. To all of America. And to television commentary. Every other time you appear on television, it's always something false, something irredeemable, and something stupid about black people that seemingly shames everyone, not just the people who deserve it. And even they don't deserve it sometimes, because of how empty-headed and contrived it sounds. You act like you have everything on the topic you want to say; but when you say it, it ends up making you look like an airhead who got a career on television because of her looks. In fact, that's how 70% of everyone on Fox News got there. Everything you've said is, while your own opinion, is a horrible opinion indeed. You should never waste any time talking, but since Fox News needs people like you to stay up and running, consider yourself lucky. And it's extremely obvious that you're acting white about the ordeal, too. Being on Fox and Friends while being black could only mean you're going to say something blasphemous, biased and hypocritical, especially because you've worked on a lot media projects catered towards African American audiences, including the aforementioned The Game.
Fuck you, Steve Doocy, for leading her on with that question "Are you saying there shouldn't be a Black History Month because there isn't a white history month?". Fuck you, Fox News, because...you know, still being around.
And fuck you, Stacey Dash, for continuing to spreading shame to the black community for saying meaningless, unintelligent and hate-spreading blasphemy to make us look even more undeserving of life in America, while sitting so comfy and cozy on Fox News, getting paid to spout valued conservative bullshit looking like every other personality there. And more especially for this misinformed, incorrect statement trying to ram down a Congratulations.
Your AA card has been revoked. You're no longer one of us now. You are on your own. Goodbye, adios, Auf Wiedersehen, Arrivederci, don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya, and...pbbt.
