I have a problem with the folks at BET absolutely freaking out when other institutions don’t match up to what they think is best. I don’t have a problem with black people having their own space. My problem goes back to the notion that every area of life needs to break down exactly according to demographic ratios except in those areas in which black people have decided they want to have their own space. What’s next? Awarding $1 million to the guy sitting in his pajamas on the couch watching Survivor? Giving a blue ribbon to the kid who stayed home from field day? Giving a Nobel Peace Prize to a President who escalated wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? No, that would be unreasonable. Oscars are awarded to the actors and actresses who excel… not the audience. Hill doesn’t understand what an Oscar is. That might be hard for the people at BET to understand, especially after I read this quote from a BET exec about the Oscars: “It would be great if the Oscar nominees represented even closely the percentage of moviegoers who are of different ethnicities, but they don’t,” said Stephen Hill.

But I look forward to the day when people don’t self-segregate based on skin color, while loudly complaining about a segregated society. I’m thankful for all of the acting jobs I’ve had. Drawing a blank? I think I’ve made my point. Thank you for reminding me, since most people have never heard of that show. BET asked Stacey if they could get their check back since she forgot she had appeared on ‘The Game.’ Dash has now fired back at BET for the network’s criticism of her.

Everyone from BET, Roland Martin, her own cousin Dame Dash and many more have roasted her and pointed out much of the hypocrisy found in her statements. Stacey Dash has been under attack all week long for her comments made on Fox News about ending BET, Black History Month, and the BET Awards.
