Even if they spell her name wrong (as Stacy), commenters were nearly united Tuesday in dissing Stacey Dash — the “Clueless” actress and Fox News commentator.
Asked about the Oscars boycott by Spike Lee and Jada Pinkett Smith for lack of nominee diversity, Dash said the choice was between segregation and integration.
“If we don’t want segregation, we need to get rid of channels like BET and the BET Awards and the Image Awards,” she said. “If it was the other way around, we’d be up in arms.”
On Twitter, Dash doubled down:

Let Morgan Freeman explain why I’m right about Black History Month being ridiculous https://t.co/7pH8Y7UWxx

Dash has enraged people before. For a profanity-laced commentary on President Obama’s December address on Islamic terror, Fox suspended her without pay for two weeks.
A sampling of reaction:

The fact that Stacy Dash thinks Black History Month is only celebrated in America shows you how close minded and dumb some people can be.
