Stacey Dash: “We Shouldn’t Have A Black History Month”

Wait, huh? Rewind. Stacey Dash said what?

In response to Jada Pinkett Smith and Spike Lee boycotting the Oscars due to it’s lack of diversity for the second year in a row, Stacey Dash appeared on ‘Fox and Friends‘ to discuss her perspective.

The actress and political commentator stated today on Outnumbered Fox News,

“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 NAACP Image Awards  where you’re only awarded if you’re black, if it were the other way around, we would be up in arms. It’s a double standard.”

The former ‘House Arrest‘ actress has been receiving major backlash because of her statement, particularly from American rapper, Bun-B, aka Bernard Freeman. Freeman took to his Instagram to post this picture and caption in response to Stacey’s comments saying,

“For everyone that didn’t know that looks don’t mean a goddamn thing if the inside of you is ugly as fuck here’s your proof. Her black skin drives her crazy. And as hard as she tries to separate herself from the black community, she doesn’t even realize her token role as a pawn in their game. You’re black. Hating yourself and us won’t make them love you. The best you’ll ever here is “You’re not like the rest of them” and if that works for you then cool. #TheBiggestCoonInTheRoom “

Tatum was going against actress, and wife, Jenna Dewan-Tatum in this episode’s battle and the former backup dancer for Janet Jackson did not disappoint. Dewan performed her very own dance routine to Ginuwine’s Pony, all while mouthing every word. As good as her performance was, it was simply no match for what hubby, Channing, had in store.

After a commercial break, Beyonce’s Who Run The World began ringing throughout the arena and strutting, as fiercely as ever, onto the stage was a blonde wig wearing Channing Tatum, who began popping and grinding to every beat throughout the single. But, just when the audience thought the show couldn’t get any better, out came the Queen-Bey herself, and the duo began performing together.
