In her blog, Stacey Dash, 49, wrote that BET is “keeping racism and segregation alive,” and Williams’ speech was “nothing short of an attack on white people.”
Dash included a video of Williams’ remarks and wrote, “You’ve just seen the perfect example of a Hollywood plantation slave! Sorry, Mr. Williams. But the fact that you were standing onstage at those awards tells people you really don’t know what you’re talking about. Just spewing hate and anger.”
In his remarks, Williams said that whites have had a history of “ghettoizing and demeaning our creations and stealing them.”
Dash responded:
“If anyone is GHETTO-IZING anyone, it’s people like you letting the BETs and other media outlets portray us in stereotypes.”
However, the “Clueless” actress did not mention in her diatribe that in 2009 she had a recurring role on BET’s scripted show “The Game.”
Nor did Dash mention that Fox News, where she is a contributor, and its founder, Rupert Murdoch, have been accused of keeping racism alive by perpetuating negative stereotypes of Black people.
