Hollywood actress Stacey Dash has stepped forward to speak out on the controversy surrounding the Academy Awards snubbing African Americans in high-profile categories.

In a new Fox News segment, Stacey went to the extreme by saying pro-black awards shows like the BET Awards and even Black History Month should be eliminated.

“I think it’s ludicrous. We have to make up our minds. Either we want to have segregation or integration and if we don’t want segregation then we have to get rid of channels like BET and the BET Awards and the Image Awards we’re you’re only rewarded if you’re black. If it were the other way around, we would be up in arms, it’s a double standard – there shouldn’t be a Black History Month. We’re Americans. Period.” (Fox News)

Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o, who won Best Supporting Actress a couple years ago, issued a statement on the Academy Awards drama late Tuesday (January 19) night.

  1. I think she has a point tho. If America should be all about diversity than there is no room for BET or a white academy awards.

    • The part that she leaves out is that she doesn’t mention what needs to be done to get rid of BET, the BET awards, Image awards, etc. There HAS to diversity and inclusion in the regular award shows and even in schools in history class. This is where Stacy is very ignorant, because she doesn’t want to talk about HOW to solve the problem. Somebody has this broad “self hating” her black side.

      • True that but this is a very difficult topic which you cannot explain so easy. However I think she is not self hating. We blacks love to portray other blacks as self hating once they mention what is going on in the black community. Bill Cosby went through the same shit with his pound cake speech.

  2. Hmm, why didn’t she mention the Latin Grammy’s, the MTV Europe Music Awards, all of the different American Idols in different countries, the Spanish channels, Indain channels and award shows, etc. Even Jewish people have their own celebrations. I can go on, but the point is, people make their own celebrations/awards/channels because of White Anerica’s lack of inclusion of everyone else.

  3. I think do think she has a point about the awards. If America should be all about diversity than there is no room for BET or a white academy awards. But black history month should stay cause too many black people don’t know their history. Not only in America but blacks worldwide.
