Say What? Gabrielle Union Slams Stacey Dash For BET Comments
Gabrielle Union didn’t have kind words to say in response to Stacey Dash’s remarks about the lack of diversity in the Oscar’s this year and why black awards show aren't such a great idea.
Stacey spoke to Fox News last week, “Either we want to have segregation or integration, and if we don’t want segregation, then we need to get rid of channels like BET and the BET Awards and the Image Awards, where you’re only awarded if you’re black. If it were the other way around, we’d be up in arms. It’s a double standard.”
The former Clueless actress added, “There shouldn’t be a Black History Month. We’re Americans, period. That’s it.”
Gabrielle was clearly offended and confused by the statements and when she was asked about the topic Gabrielle joked, “Is she like related to Dame Dash? Was she on Roc-A-Fella?” She continued, “I heard of a crazy lady once, but I don’t know what her name is.”
She then got serious, putting down Stacey for her opinions. “If you don’t see yourself reflected in mainstream awards, you tend to create your own,” she said. “Until there is no longer a need for that, I celebrate the ALMAs American Latino Media Arts Awards, the same way I celebrate the Country Music Awards, and the same way I celebrate the BET Awards and the Image Awards, which we’ll all be at in a couple of weeks. The more that we focus on inclusion and a true representation of this country, I think that crazy lady will have less to say.”
