Stacey Dash Says BET ‘Lies to American Black People’ and Promotes Segregation

By Published on January 22, 2016

Stacey Dash continued to criticize BET on her website Thursday, saying the network “lies” to promote segregation.

The 49-year-old actress faced heavy backlash for suggesting the network should be abolished Wednesday on Fox & Friends, and penned a blog post in response to BET pointing out she appeared on its series The Game.

“Ever since I said this on Fox yesterday, Black Entertainment Television has been throwing shade,” Dash wrote. “Thank you for reminding me [of The Game], since most people have never heard of that show. Why? It’s on BET. Quick. Name the top shows on BET. Drawing a blank? I think I’ve made my point.”

“I look forward to the day when people don’t self-segregate based on skin color, while loudly complaining about a segregated society,” she said. “BET lies to American black people by telling them that the rest of America is racist, so stick close to your own kind. Anything that promotes segregation is bad!”

Dash made her initial remarks while discussing an Oscar boycott, calling the protest “ludicrous” and suggesting Black History Month also be abolished. Her comments didn’t sit well with The View host Whoopi Goldberg and guest host Sunny Hostin, who criticized Dash on Thursday’s show.
