The backlash from African Americans over Stacy Dash's call to get rid of BET, the BET Awards and Black History Month continues to grow.
As we previously reported, Dash appeared on Fox's "Outnumbered" Wednesday, January 20, and offered her opinion on Spike Lee and Jada Pinkett-Smith's statements that they would not be attending the 2016 Oscar Awards because of the lack of recognition for people of color.
"I think it's ridiculous," she said. "Because we have to make up our minds, 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 BET Awards and the [NAACP] Image Awards, where you are only awarded if you are black. If it were the other way around, we would be up in arms, its a double standard. Just like there shouldn't be a Black History Month. We're Americans, period. That's it"
Houston rapper Bun B responded via his Instagram page.
“You’re black,” Bun said a caption of a now deleted photo.”Hating yourself and us won’t make them love you.”
Can't wait to see if Fox News gets at me for my comments. Bringing up my lyrics and shit. They don't want it. https://t.co/Epl1zoXbu7
