Actress and Fox News contributor Stacey Dash does not understand why Black Entertainment Television exists.
After knocking the network for only highlighting black stars during two on-air appearances on Wednesday, the actress published a blog post on Thursday charging that BET “promotes segregation.”
“BET lies to American black people by telling them that the rest of America is racist, so stick close to your own kind,” Dash wrote on Patheos, a website focused on religion. “Anything that promotes segregation is bad!”
The initial dispute began during Dash’s Wednesday visit to “Fox and Friends,” where she dismissed the uproar over the lack of diversity among this year’s Oscars nominees.
“If we don’t want segregation, then we need to get rid of channels like BET and the BET Awards and the Image Awards where you’re only awarded if you’re black,” she said. “If it were the other way around, we would be up in arms. It’s a double standard.”
She repeated the claim during an afternoon appearance on Fox’s “Outnumbered,” where she also called for the elimination of Black History Month.
BET playfully fired back, sharing a post on Instagram of Dash appearing in the show “The Game” that ran on their network and asking for their check back.
In her blog post, Dash retorted, “I look forward to the day when people don’t self-segregate based on skin color, while loudly complaining about a segregated society.”

Didn’t Nabisco once market a vanilla Oreo cookie? If so, there is leftover stock.
She should stay by the phone. I’m sure Trump will be calling any minute.
Wiki:
She was in her 40’s before she figured out where she stood politically?
Little known fact - Segregation was started by angry white politicians who didn’t receive BET awards.
Lordy, lordy. Just what America needs is another beleaguered, self-righteous Black conservative. Not a big fan of BET, but I don’t remember the memo telling me America was racist and to self-segregate. Sheesh. Is girlfriend is trying to the Black Ann Coulter? Wonder when she is going to rally against Univision, etc. I suspect Ms. Stacy is looking for a paid gig as a conservative spoken person. Too bad she sounds so silly and uniformed.
