Stacey Dash Fires Back at BET



Earlier this week actress Stacey Dash called for the end of Black networks like BET claiming they promote segregation [click here if you missed that].

After BET called her out reminding Stacey of her appearance on the BET show The Game Stacey fires back...

Stacey writes on her personal blog,
Well, here’s the thing. Thank you for reminding me, 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’m thankful for all of the acting jobs I’ve had. But I look forward to the day when people don’t self-segregate based on skin color, while loudly complaining about a segregated society...
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!
And they’re absolutely mortified that someone like me — an independent-thinking black woman — dares call their bluff.
