I think the issue is being addressed to mention all minorities, Asians, black, hispanic, Middle Eastern, native Americans etc. This is a white man's world and we want diversity for all.
One of the things that bug me about the BET & the boycott of the Oscars. Is that somehow black = diversity. What about the Asians? The Chinese, Korean, Japanese, etc. They make up a huge population I the earth, and mostly get cast for stereotypical roles of broken English with accents that aren't even authentic & demasculinizing men! The Latinos/Hispanics? Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Guatemalans, Brazilians, Nicaraguans, etc. The Indigenous? People of Middle East/Arab decent? Also the people who come from specifically the huge continent of Africa? Nigerians, Egyptians, etc? There is a lack of diversity in Hollywood. But you can't cry over one thing without realizing the whole picture. Plus the bigger political issues about Current Systematic oppression towards minorities.
I'm black. Why should we fight for Hispanics, Asians or other minorities? We have fought for our rights alone in America since our ancestors were enslaved and forced to be here against their will. We have no obligation to fight for other minorities. If Hispanics, Asians etc want more accurate portrayals of themselves in Hollywood they need to SPEAK UP. Being submissive and content with being portrayed in a negative light by a racist media is idiotic, and I fully support my fellow black people participating in this boycott.
+Janelle Allen you mean the desire to keep yourselves separated from the rest of humanity, by focusing only on you, instead of the entire human race? And here is some truth about your history... you guys started slavery, and current;y blacks are the biggest proponents of bringing back segregation... Yeah... truth sucks doesn't it, racist?
I think you missed the point. There are special awards for black people. Just like how there was separate water fountains during the time of segregation. The BET awards emphasize the segregation.
Jae Paul It's only in February because Dr. Carter G. Woodson made it that way and it's in February to honor of Frederick Douglas' Birthday. It's not telling Black people to only recognize your history in February.
It's just funny that she says get rid of Bet and because they have been supplying her with work over the years which enabled her to have this position on Fox News, otherwise she would have behind in 1995. Maybe she really is clueless...
It's a call to action based on relevant proposed topics. She has a head on her shoulders she isn't some programmed work mule. I'm glad there are people out there who will still stand for their opinions and not puke out lies for a pay check.
+Ariana Smith She didnt really say "Get Rid of BET" you missed her point in saying if you wanted true equality and if your upset thinking its all white etc then you have to get rid of BET. and to not use a double standard.
She's speaking on segregation. Saying a channel is Black entertainment is segregation. It's good to create black owned & operated TV shows movies & music but to suggest that these things are only for a select group of people is a form of segregation. Also to have a black history month is insulting. Black history should be taught along side of the rest of American history. To say it's anything less than American history should not be tolerated.
Sam Smith is a white man, he won a BET award recently. I believe Justin Timberlake and Justin Bieber even won but that I'm not too sure of. Tori Kelly performed at the BET Awards.Iggy Azalea was nominated and performed. And BET is a white owned company. To simply just look at the name and make judgements is ludicrous. And there is a White entertainment television. It's called ABC Family.
+Desi Wenzell 3 out of 16 leading actor winners have been black men since 2000 that's 18.75% If anything black men are over represented where's your noise about Korean Chinese or Latino actors ...
I really wish things didn't have to be like this where we have black channels, black magazines, black awards shows, but guess what? It is, because I'm a black girl and I like makeup, I like hair and I like beauty things and I can't just go to the store and pick up any random magazine like Glamour, teen vogue, seventeen ect and expect there to be some tips on makeup for my skin, or good tips for curly natural hair because all the big magazine brands (most of the time) praise white girls everyday, that is societys standard of beauty. So in my opinion it isnt segregation that we have our own channels, and awards shows and ect, as lonh as society keeps praising everyone else but blacks thats how its gonna be.
There is nothing wrong with promoting things based on culture. In other countries the opposite trend is true. For example, you don't see many white folks being promoted in Asian magazines or media. You don't find products specifically for white folks, or black folks. Because the majority are Asian. That doesn't stop some black or white folks from making it in the Asian media. Just as black folks can make it in any area they choose, in America. You can certainly keep your culture and the products you need. Just don't cry if white folks want their own, for their own as well. If "Black Pride" is OK, then so is "White Pride". But, in America, "White Pride" is automatically demonized as "racist". As would a specifically White media outlet be. While in general, "Black Pride" is encouraged.
Partially, though she did feel the need to add, "as society keeps praising everyone else but blacks that's how its gonna be." Which is not really true. If anything, especially these days the opposite might even be true. And like I said, if White folks do add the word "White" or "for whites" or anything of the sort, there is a problem. I say let everyone have their own, create their own and be proud of their own. There is nothing wrong with it. But let it be for everyone. Sometimes one group is going to be represented more than others. People trying to sell stuff will often promote to the biggest market. It's just a matter of demographics, which was my point.
Im white & I agree. I guess I was fortunate to have 2 parents that raised me with awareness that black ppl had been thru hell, and used so they earned the right and privilege to have their own voices through the solidarity with their brotheren. If I'm wrong, you can cyber-slap me.
A few white or at least Jewish folks have. Which then begs the question, why call it BET? Black folks also win Country music awards. But country music awards are not called "White". To me, it pretty much solidifies Stacy's case.
Meanwhile the BET AWARDS GAVE nominations to Justin Timberlake, Justin Beiber, Lady Gaga, and SAM SMITH ACTUALLY WON..but didn't even show up! LOL. Blacks need to stop being sooo inclusive when no one is trying to include you in their awards
+Bahia82 stacey is just pointing out what we all already knew about women: they LOVE to have their cake and eat it too (maybe that's why they also getting fatter and fatter in this country). Women are constantly bitching about how life is unfair, meanwhile they want to play both sides of the fence depending on which is giving them better benefits at the time. Time to expose this hypocritical feminist attitude: Manhood 101. c o m TIME TO WAKE UP THE HYPOCRITES!
thatnickuh Now? It's always been owned by white people, everything is this country is owned by white people, directly or indirectly. What is mainstream television? America is 70% white, 12% black, the masses are white. To say bet is for a better portrayal of blacks in the main stream is to say so blacks look better infront of whites, which bet does nothing but degrade black people too.
+Ben S Exactly. She makes a good point, though I find it unfortunate that she's on fox, one of the most biased news channels ever. It's White = Black, not White < Black. Same thing goes for the all feminists that want alimony. It used to be Men = Women, now they want Men < Women.
TO ALL WHO DON'T KNOW: Every group of people has organizations, businesses, schools, neighborhoods, and associations that either affirm them, or protect them. These include White people such Irish, Italians, Polish, Germans, Russians, etc..There are predominantly Gay, Latino, Chinese, and Arabic neighborhoods across the nation. There are Catholic, Mormon, Women's, and Jewish colleges. The list goes on. There are t.v. channels for Gays, Armenians, Arabs, Italians, Latinos, Koreans, and South Asians. So Ms. Dash is WRONG on many counts. She is misleading in her implication that Blacks are the only people practicing self affirmation. She is also wrong in saying that BET and the NAACP are practicing discrimination. Many non Blacks are awarded and employed by both organizations. On the contrary, it is the mostly White organizations that discriminated against non Whites. I don't believe in calling people degrading names. I don't approve of what has been said about Ms. Dash over the internet. She has the right to her own opinions. But according to what SHE said, her opinion is based upon false information, and flawd reasoning.
Just my thoughts but I believe the reason BET became a thing was because there was no representation of the black community that was given the credit and awards they deserved, simply because the color of their skin took their spot away from even being in the running. Take the spotlight away from a strong group of people and they will start their own spotlight. The problem is that the spotlight was always on these elite group of people, when is the time gonna come.
This is the first and probably only time I will ever SORT OF agree with her. Honestly, I don't think Jada would've said anything if her husband had been nominated. The Oscars are supposed to be about talent, not race. Would they be complaining if it was all black nominees?
Yeah I agree with the fact that well most actors are white (in the US). So it would only make sense that they own the majority of screen. Hence a white person has a bigger chance of winning an Oscar. It only comments sense. As to her bet and black history month comment it makes her statement clouded by the now offended viewers.
+heidos7 If the Oscars would have been all black? Holy fuck the tears would be flowing uncontrollably. It would be like Hurricane Katrina flooding the entire country not just New Orleans. The massive amount of tears would probably cause a Tsunami worse the the 2011 one. I imagine Hawaii and Australia would be engulfed in the Tearnami.
+heidos7 You got to love how it has gone so far this racism bullshit that Will Smith blames not winning an award on being black! It's like an old SNL Eddie Murphy skit.
Josh Mendes 1/2 true…Heard of the Transcontinental Railroad? World War II? Asians have contributed but to the extent that America had to est. exclusion acts to prevent any more of them from coming.
***** Blacks and whites go hand and hand the 2 sides of the same coin when whites came they came or might I say dragged.. in a literal sense Its a shame because really if they all got along in entirety we could all attain enlightenment as a species
Well... since you are going to get rid of BET then get rid of the Country Music Awards, Grammy Awards, Latin Awards, Asian-American Awards, Rock Awards, etc.... But Oscars it is suppose to be for everyone...and everyone should be included.
Notice that none of the awards you have mentioned, include the word "White". Any sort of "White" awards would not even be allowed in America. Darius Rucker won the New Artist of the Year award at the CMA's for his "Learn to Live" solo album, BTW. Google "black country singers" and be amazed at who they are. And guess what, a whole lot of White folks buy their albums! a few white folks, mostly Jews have won BET awards, of course. But then why call it BET? Maybe it should be called "Urban Contemporary", or something like that? Why specify "Black", especially if they will Award white folks? Doesn't make sense. As for black Oscar winners, black folks have been winning awards going back as far as 1940 with Hattie McDaniel. Sidney Poitier, Isaac Hayes, Louis Gossett, Jr.,Irene Cara, Prince, Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman, even the rap group Three 6 Mafia and many others have won. So yeah, everyone actually is included. But they win because they deserve it. They do not need to win just because they are black.
While stealing all the knowledge and resources from people of color, whether its the resources in Africa, the mathematical knowledge/resources in India, or even the Blues for Rock and Roll? I would say you dont deserve shit, but you're white and you will steal every month anyway!
***** are you really insinuating that whites didnt steal america from the native americans, massacring all of them after making "peace" with them? Are you implying whites didnt go to Africa to steal their diamonds and actual human beings? They didn't go to India to force indians there to give them every single piece of mineral or resource their land had? Jesus you really are clueless.
Quagmire97 ahh not cultured I see? Those words were spoke by a man named Dave Chappelle who was a very very racist man. I feel like the sarcasm is gonna fly right over your head again like it did in my original comment...
+Billy Madison so does BET if you actually took the time to watch it. They have even given awards to white people many times, which is why her shitty argument holds no water.
No one is forcing you to watch and they are not demanding to be nominated for their acting jobs . So what is your issue . English speaking channels can be seen in Spanish speaking countries , so what ?
+Igabella Solamente si latinos son igualmente desvergunzados a los negros y incisten en pendejadas que no tienen merito. Now you should be able to read that if you're really a latino
I applaud her for speaking the truth about the Real racism in America, which is predominantly derived from the liberally minded black community that feels that even if an actor didn't deserve an award, he/she should still deserve one because he/she is black...
+MrRedpaul84 Agreed. People have gone from "it's racist because he/she didn't win this or that because of their race" to "it's only right that he/she wins this or that *because* of their race!"
Dumbasses like you have zero clue. Probably would be the same piece of shit complaining in the 40s about how petty it is for blacks to want to drink from the same fountain.
I refuse to get caught up in the petty problems of millionaires. They're squabbling over little golden statues while the rest of us are blinding ourselves more and more by hatred, bigotry, and unnecessary drama. At the end of the day, they'll whine about this now and then vacation in the French Rivera together later, happy as clams.
See she would have one hell of an argument about BET and BET award shows "IF" she actually watched them... Because if she did, she would know that's there are plenty of white people that attend and are awarded at them awards... She started off with a point that went left.... She also forgot to include that she should NOT be allowed on to work on a predominately white syndicated TV network..."if that were the case". For her to even say "make up our minds" as if we are the masterminds behind this division astounds me. Back to the drawing board Staci.
She was simply making a point. Her point is, either we're for, or against racial segregation. If we're against it, then we shouldn't do it ourselves. I agree with her. But I think this situation specifically has been taken to the extreme. Just because blacks aren't nominated this year, doesn't mean that they're separating from people of color.
+Urhiness415 ... If we're supposed to have an open dialogue between the races, then here's our chance. I'm a white, 39 year old, heterosexual male. Do you support the idea of so many networks on TV, that openly declare and dedicate their programming for black people? If you do, (and I ask this without sarcasm,) would you be okay with a network called "CAT." (Caucasian American Television.)
But she's of color my friend should we broadcast it to cnn maybe ? Need a Asian Mexican Indian to agree with them as well, oh right she's an American like she said fuck color.
+i am Jon :O they don't do it with just black people. Fox always manages to find the one person who has a different opinion compared to the certain group of people that said person is a part of. Almost like they need to use that person to push whatever agenda they are running that day. Example: Bringing a Mexican on air who supports Donald Trump.
I personally don't feel that she was saying that there should be no black recognition I take it as she was saying that if we do not want separation then the Oscars should not only focus on whites and BET should not focus on only blacks she is absolutely right if we continue to put separation then we will continue to have separation
People are clearly missing the point of what she's saying. You're absolutely right. At the end of the day, if Black people were making Oscar worthy films, this whole debate wouldn't even be taking place.
It's not really about the oscars that ticked people off its just the fact that she said that there shouldn't be a black history month which we obviously do need because we need to look at the black achievements and the black culture that schools don't teach as often. And the fact that she's obviously a hypocrite because she's worked for BET, if you didn't stand for what they stood for than why did work for them.
Everyone go see Beast of No Nation and tell me that Idris Elba did not have the talent to get nominated for an Oscar and tell me race doesn't matter when he clearly had the best performance of 2015 winning several BAFTA Awards
Google should be your new best friend! At least 6 Hispanic channels on cable, Hispanic Heritage Month, Hispanic Heritage Awards etc. You're either under a rock or being sarcastic. I hope for the latter!
Mo Woodruff i meant on film imbecile, tv and film are different one is one tv and the other is on the big screen and clearly i was talking about the big screen
Wills movie wasn't good enough to get an Oscar. End of story. There doesn't need to be segregation in an award show, there needs to be honesty. 12 years a slave won an Oscar in 2014.. Why? Because it was good. The end.
I think you need to research why African Americans were forced to set up platforms outside of the mainstream ones where their achievements could be acknowledged.
We were told that we're ugly, we were told we're dumb, we were forced to endure extreme measures of racism & put up with segregation. So I celebrate Black History Month. ✊🏿
Stacey Dash is so far removed from reality. The reason why BET was created was to showcase African-American music and other formats that is African-American based and the reason why was because MTV (at the time which was the main music television show) was not featuring African-American videos, thus BET. The reason why Black History month was created was to remind African-Americans and other americans alike our contribution to society. African-Americans contribution is so much richer than what the mass media want to portray which was mainly slaves and maids. African-Americans was inventors and creators to a lot of things that we use today such as the broom, stop light, cell phone but it is never recognized. We wouldn't need a BET, Centric, NAACP, DOVE and other facets that accentuate to African-Americans if we treated as equal like Americans should! If African-Americans were treated as equal we would've not needed Civil Rights movements, civil rights workers who was fighting for African-Americans to be treated as equal to their counterparts, we wouldn't need Black Lives Matters movement to remind police officers and law makers that African-American lives matters. We have to be constantly reminded that we are not equal as our fellow Americans thus we have to constantly create formats and resources that accentuate African-Americans that retain the dignity of African-Americans for African-Americans. As you notice, African-Americans were snubbed by the Academy Why? Because the roles were not subsuviant or showing African-Americans in a negative light. The reason why White Americans don't need a White History Month is because the culture, currency, laws have all been centered around Whites, supported by Whites so why does their need to be a stamp for Whites when they have embedded their signature? Stacey you need to think about what you say before you say it. Why Fox loves you because you are what they love: a person that has no clue about their culture.
Tom Ryan hey dude you ever heard of the id channel? They got hours of white true crime stories give it a watch some time you might have a change of thought
+Christina Bennett Well, at any rate, BET was not demonstrating or setting a good example by showcasing ALL types of music by including Black music to various others. Regardless of who is more or less privileged, by only supporting your own clan, how could you get upset at another race for doing that exact same thing? BE the change that you want in the world. If you want White people to go out of their way to help/support/include Black people and other races, then as Black people, we should set an example by helping/supporting/including Whites and other races in the dealings of Black people as well. There always comes that point where someone needs to be that bigger man/woman. Expecting someone else to do something that you are not willing to do is silly.
She has a point. Morgan Freeman has said similar things. Look it up. It's just because she's associated with FOX News, people are looking down on her. Yes, in order to move forward, there should be a way to talk about the past without violence. In Australia, there's a national Sorry Day to apologize to the aboriginals whose lives were taken and other terrible things by white settlers.
I understand what Stacey Dash is trying to say but I disagree. Black history month, BET awards, etc. is a good way of black people uplifting one another. Too often I see a lot black people trying to bring each other down
suprmekai5 Maybe so, but what I can see is that the Oscars are somewhat one sided. I mean honestly, look at what movies and people get them. Matpat did a great video on it, I suggest you watch it.
My teacher literally said "save all of the questions about black history, for black history month," honestly. Its not like we arent black for the other 11 months of the year, and they gave us the shortest month of the year. How is it a double standard when the other 11 months of the year actually ARE white history month.
I'm sorry but I kinda agree with Stacy. I hate that everything like BET shouldn't highlight black people sooooo much like OMG why do we as black people feel like we are owed something so much. If there was a tv network for just white people and they announced it was "WHITE ONLY!" They would burn that network to the ground. It's a double standard FORREAL. Like omg everyone is EQUAL ... Leave it as that. There's no black there's no white. We're all human being and children of God he doesn't treat us different so we should treat each other different
Lightitupp1 I don't feel guilty.I just think it makes sense that black people would need their own exclusive conduits given how they have been excluded historically in our country. There is no evidence for that being the case with the oscars but that is why things like black history month exist.
Obi, Obi, Obi... Africans didn't make it racial... Europeans did...please get the knowledge so you can at least analyze without emotions... tsk, tsk, tsk
+obi being that direct lineage is required for someone to a persons "ancestor". "Everyone's" ancestor were not slaves and slavemasters. There are people who come from lineage that wasnt involved in slavery at all.
The oscars are not racist. The movie's that are nominated are picked by a group of individuals who vote on the best movies, actors, cinematography and ect. A good portion of these people are of Africa decent, also if I'm not mistaken the chairman ( basically a CEO) of the Oscars is black. The reason that no black actors were nominated is because there were no actors that deserved a nomination. Sure people argue creed but Mike Jordan was not that good of an actor in the film. All of the emotional scenes were mostly carried by Sylvester Stallone who is more experienced. If an experienced actor like Stallone was not in the movie Jordan might have gotten a nomination. Then there was straight out of Compton which personally is one of my fave movies about musicians but was really just a one sided depiction of the events surrounding NWA and company. The acting was sub par except for the person who played Dre and ice cube. So, yes there were some decent movies featuring black people but
+FunnymanHU4life The Oscars are not racist, they love black movies. Didn't 12 Years A Slave win Best Picture 2 years ago along with a black actress? Didn't Precious get numerous nods? Didn't Crash (the movie about racism) win Best Picture? what about Selma?
+badgalbynes If you pay attention to the description of each movie you just mentioned than you are more blind than I thought. Jesus. Can you name a black movie or actor/actress that has been nominated or won an Oscar that was not in the role of a slave,criminal,crooked cop, civil rights...etc if you can name me five...no...THREE ACTORS/ACTRESS or particularly black movies that are excluded from that genre. I will see you as not another white person blind of a minorities everyday reality
+Dab along,Smoke along. Stay Medicated I am Black and I never watch BET. I flipped passed it and watched a little of the show Mowry Twin but I couldn't watch the whole show. My parents wouldn't even allow me to watch it when I was younger. From the things I seen from it in the pass I can understand why. But, I could have swore B.E.T. had Sam Smith, Robin Thicke, Eminem, French Montana, Kim K, and others at their award show.
Appreciate black history month, without it the whites like me would not hear of the heroines and heroes who inspired not only black people but other minorities (who fyi don't have a month). No joke lol school talked about it a lot when i was young. That one month can teach a thousand people.
You realize the point of BET is because black people weren't being represented in Hollywood so they made their own thing. White people still get nominated also
The channel name Bet stands for Black Entertainment Television that's why. All these other channels and awards on Tv are 99% white. why can't we have our own channel since y'all wanna take over all other channels 🤔. Hmmm I wonder.
I agree with her honesty, no latin tv, no asian tv, black to be excepted let's take more pride in ourselves instead of excluding ourselves from everyone else
I understand what she's saying, but she just didn't elaborate on her ideas so it comes off as ignorant. I think Black History month is extremely important and it needs to be a part of our culture, but I could do without BET honestly.
+Flavio Rocha You make some good points but, as a white guy, I have a little hesitation about walking through some neighborhoods in L.A. I think the point she was making is that purposeful segregation makes integration impossible. The real message should be one of personal responsibility. Is it harder for people of color to overcome the historical components at play? Yes. But will that change take place from the outside in? Never. It has to come from the inside out.
***** Totally agree with you, but I was just trying to explain why Black History month exists and not White History month. But yes, regardless of the social impact of our history, I totally believe in the individual overcoming any and all obstacles thrown at them, regardless of what it is.
+Flavio Rocha White history is everyday. Black people know more about white people than their own race. That is because as little kids we were inundated with white history and everything else white. We need BET, Centric, and every award show that celebrates the achievements of black people. The Oscars just proved that point. Btw, watch the movie Beast of No Nation with Idris Elba and tell be that movie didn't deserve a nomination.
Good for her for being one of the few blacks out there that are fair and not racist. The backlash from the black community, although predictable, speaks more about how racist and entitled they've become over the past 7 yrs. GOOD FOR YOU STACEY!!!
If what she’s saying is true “, I agree with her 100%. Blacks should be celebrating their history 24/7 - 365 days a year just like EVERYONE ELSE. This little woman has a lotta guts and I really admire her strength. Great Job.
+edward diaz That is a cultural holiday and most places don't take the day off for something like that. Btw, I have no idea when black history month even is, because it has no significance whatsoever besides that name.
This year there were no Oscar worthy black actors this year. The ones I saw suggested were: Human torch kid Will smith in a movie about concussions Ideas Elba in some movie that was very unpopular Then the guy who played E in straight outta Compton Do any of those deserve an award for best anything? Lol What happen to other races as well?
+ImmortalSD I really havent watched any of those movies but Straight of outta Compton and I do feel like the guy who portrayed Easy E should have won something or even nominated.
+ImmortalSD Im trying to understand both views but at the same time I will refuse to listen to dumbass stacy dash on this matter. She sounds bitter as hell about something that runs deeper than this whole oscar thing.
***** I feel you're pain sir I have many who are friends and act that way. Facts don't matter so I don't know what well wake up the masses and trust libtard whites are just as bad.
I actually agree with Stacey Dash about getting rid of BET. There are some good programs on there that should be on mainstream TV. But a lot of the shows on there contribute to all of stereotypes about us.
No American History has got 10 months out of the year. It should be all 12. As if blacks need only a month to go celebrate our history. POC history is American history, period point blank. Enough with the self-segregation.
+FireNinjaPrincess Don't forget to include February! Every month is white history month, even February that's supposed to be "black history month". This is the white man's world unfortunately.
Brendan Feeley I watched a lot of her videos searching for mistakes and reasons to hate her. She speaks her mind and though its harsh its the truth. I like her way of viewing things.
+Brendan Feeley i dont dislike her i just think she is missing the purpose of BET and the BET awards. Also from my understanding she is missing the point of black history month. i dont get how anyone can say black people can be seen as people who play the victim when they are literally being victimised in front of our eyes and protesting, having their own awards because they arent being represented AT ALL and having their own network is not playing the victim its taking control and doing for yourself something that obviously know one else is going to do for you. Black history month is not a double standard it represent the struggle of black people in the past, what ever stuggles or accomplishments white people have had is being represented EVERY other month. If black people wanting to talk about how they use to be lynched, beatin, whipped, discriminated against and now held at gun point for selling Cd's is playing the victim well then i guess the term better start being embraced because there is probably going to be a lot more talk about it. it is 2016 and black people are still having their firsts(first black president) thats kind of a shame. no one can say that not one black person has done something honorable enough for the oscars in those years. And she was quick to say there should be no BET but she made sure she said it after they gave her that check though.lol.
That's because those award shows are in Spanish and Portuguese and award those who make content in those languages. It's not exclusive and doesnt turn anyone away or look down on anyone just because they're not of Latino decent (ex. Il Volo, Italian singing group who made a Spanish album won a Latin Music Award). Because it's in a language that isn't English, it wouldn't interest Americans anyway. It's also very mixed race/culture so someone saying they can't get a Latin award because of their race or background is a little silly.
***** BET and NAACP awards are not exclusive... And I have never seen anyone looked down upon or turned away. I support Naacp/Bet/Latin Grammys and Latin Billboard award shows because they cater to people mostly get overlooked.
+Mathieu Maddox oh I know they aren't exclusive. Many non-black artist have won awards but people just assume they're exclusive because 99% of the awards go to black artists and creators. (which is the same problem with the Oscars except with white people.) I can only give my opinion on BET but what I think is, it's in English and it's American but the problem people have with it lies in the name. Black Entertainment television. No other racial background in the US has a tv channel/tv shows/movies/award shows with its main foundation based on or around their race or ethnicity in the English language on basic cable tv. Not Latinos, Asians, Arabs, Indigenous. White people don't even have a channel named after their whiteness. Only black people have this plus 5 sister channels. People see it as separation from other races. Which, I'm assuming, is why they have a problem with it.
You must never heard of telemundo? Whites dominate tv what more do they need. If Asians, Arabs and any other race culture or whatever had their own channel I wouldnt care or pretend to be mad about it like most people under this video. I would watch and be entertained.
So freedom of speech is ok only if you agree with the smiths of the world, what a bunch of hypocrites. Hey Jada and will Smith I think I'm going to start boycotting your movies, do think you would be as successful as you are without a white audience.
dee will It is the National Basketball Association, the highest level professional basketball league in the United States. 76% of the players are black although only 12.5% of the U.S. population is black. There is obviously racial discrimination going on. ;)
This sort of reminds me of that black lives matter crap because when this situation is over with they're going to find every tiny little detail that apparently is racist and then argue about it.
It breaks my heart of the ignorance in the world now a days. I never had understood racism how can you hate someone just because of a race I know this may not have anything to do with the video I just feel like if everyone just didn't just see race. If you saw past race I feel like you would have a better life. Also, I'm a Christian if you aren't that's fine, but from my standpoint there is not a black section or white section or Asian section etc;. in Heaven anyways racism is a form of hate, and hate won't get you into the gates of heaven read the bible only the righteous get into heaven, and people who just have hate people with a deep feeling aren't righteous in my book now I'm not gonna argue with anyone cause I believe what I believe. I just hope if you have hate in your heart based upon someone's race let it go, and you'll see just how much easier life is without worrying about race! Have a wonderful day
People can categorize humans as Whites, Blacks, Asians, Latino, or whatever they want. If I were to say someone was black it doesn't mean I have anything against them! People may think that if we were to call someone a black it implies that they are a thug or you should be scared of them or some shit I have no fucking idea about. It's just stereotypical to hear or say stuff like that, which I agree shouldn't be the case for any race.The point is this: race. color, ethnicity, gender, or sexuality can all be drawn back to one thing. We are all humans, and we should all be treated like one. Period.
+Just an Average Commenter Also, what I have noticed is when a white police officer goes to pull the trigger on a black man, people pay more attention to that rather than when a black man kills another black man. It is just pathetic. What I see is one HUMAN killing another HUMAN both ways. We need to defend each other. Not just our color.
I agree with the awards part. She has a great point. You can't get mad at the Oscars when black people have a bunch of award ceremonies where only black people are nominated. It IS a double standard
+Yvonne R. Grant When people like you and this bigot Janis , have to go through the same amount of affliction ...as the above mentioned !!! Then , and ONLY then ...can it ceast !!
There is a reason there is a black history month. I remember being in elementary school and being so excited for February because we actually were taught things about black history for a change. From this exposure I was able to learn more on my own later on. It made me excited, proud of my background. It made me proud to be an American, to see how we fought for our rights.The reason why there isn't a white history month is because most of what my class learned 11.5 months of the year was European/White American History. Thats why I respect National Hispanic Heritage month as well. Even though we come from different backgrounds we still are Americans, and therefore have our own slices of American history. Thats important to share and cherish it.
Abolishing BET is hardly the remedy for segregation. Equality and diversity seem like more sensible choices. And the lack of in mainstream media is reason those channels are necessary. This chic really is clueless!!
People are not getting the point. She isn't saying "get rid off BET", she's saying we need to make up our minds: either we have segregation or we don't. Which if we aren't going to be segregated, then YES, BET couldn't rightly exist. People just like to hear what they want because they are so uncomfortable talking about racial issues. Dash is a smart woman and I think she is 100% correct. Al Sharpton, on the other hand, is the biggest racist who ever lived.
+obi I assume you're talking about blacks not segregating themselves? They don't. While there is interaction between the races, the different races tend to interact with each other. Haven't you ever noticed in school that the Asian kids usually hang out with other Asians, and the same goes for blacks, latinos, and whites? It's natural to gravitate towards and want to work/interact with those who look like you and have similar backgrounds. Racism plays a role in the segregation because it created the idea that some races are inferior or superior to others and that keeps groups from being able to interact fully because superior groups think less of others.
Yet the Asian actors are just eating rice by the corner I suppose. It's all about black & white. Smh.
+JoshPalerLin we don't agree with that either
+JoshPalerLin Says the scam artist
I think the issue is being addressed to mention all minorities, Asians, black, hispanic, Middle Eastern, native Americans etc. This is a white man's world and we want diversity for all.
one step at a time, johnny karate
See this guy gets it
One of the things that bug me about the BET & the boycott of the Oscars. Is that somehow black = diversity. What about the Asians? The Chinese, Korean, Japanese, etc. They make up a huge population I the earth, and mostly get cast for stereotypical roles of broken English with accents that aren't even authentic & demasculinizing men! The Latinos/Hispanics? Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Guatemalans, Brazilians, Nicaraguans, etc. The Indigenous? People of Middle East/Arab decent? Also the people who come from specifically the huge continent of Africa? Nigerians, Egyptians, etc? There is a lack of diversity in Hollywood. But you can't cry over one thing without realizing the whole picture. Plus the bigger political issues about Current Systematic oppression towards minorities.
Name some asian actors
+Kami Evans Jackie Chan?
Tyrus Humphrey He's retired tho
***** Yeah that's true
I'm black. Why should we fight for Hispanics, Asians or other minorities? We have fought for our rights alone in America since our ancestors were enslaved and forced to be here against their will. We have no obligation to fight for other minorities. If Hispanics, Asians etc want more accurate portrayals of themselves in Hollywood they need to SPEAK UP. Being submissive and content with being portrayed in a negative light by a racist media is idiotic, and I fully support my fellow black people participating in this boycott.
I find it funny how she received more attention from this interview than her entire career. lol
dam
Clueless
that was a good one
Emile Griffith shut up
jasmen Holmes lol she does!
BET and Black History month doesn't promote segregation. It shows our progress after segregation ended.
Plus ppl forget the reason why we have BET. We have it cause MTV in the 80s didn't show black ppl
+Janelle Allen you mean the desire to keep yourselves separated from the rest of humanity, by focusing only on you, instead of the entire human race? And here is some truth about your history... you guys started slavery, and current;y blacks are the biggest proponents of bringing back segregation... Yeah... truth sucks doesn't it, racist?
I think you missed the point. There are special awards for black people. Just like how there was separate water fountains during the time of segregation. The BET awards emphasize the segregation.
+Jacob Straut Fool, BET is White-Owned!
Jae Paul
It's only in February because Dr. Carter G. Woodson made it that way and it's in February to honor of Frederick Douglas' Birthday. It's not telling Black people to only recognize your history in February.
It's just funny that she says get rid of Bet and because they have been supplying her with work over the years which enabled her to have this position on Fox News, otherwise she would have behind in 1995. Maybe she really is clueless...
Maybe you're racist
It's a call to action based on relevant proposed topics. She has a head on her shoulders she isn't some programmed work mule. I'm glad there are people out there who will still stand for their opinions and not puke out lies for a pay check.
+ArtieLangeXM Not dumb. Just ignorant.
+Ariana Smith She didnt really say "Get Rid of BET" you missed her point in saying if you wanted true equality and if your upset thinking its all white etc then you have to get rid of BET. and to not use a double standard.
She's speaking on segregation. Saying a channel is Black entertainment is segregation. It's good to create black owned & operated TV shows movies & music but to suggest that these things are only for a select group of people is a form of segregation. Also to have a black history month is insulting. Black history should be taught along side of the rest of American history. To say it's anything less than American history should not be tolerated.
Sam Smith is a white man, he won a BET award recently. I believe Justin Timberlake and Justin Bieber even won but that I'm not too sure of. Tori Kelly performed at the BET Awards.Iggy Azalea was nominated and performed. And BET is a white owned company. To simply just look at the name and make judgements is ludicrous. And there is a White entertainment television. It's called ABC Family.
+CKL EVERYTHING since 2000, 10 out of 80 (12.5%) of Oscar nominees for best actor have been black men
+Desi Wenzell 3 out of 16 leading actor winners have been black men since 2000 that's 18.75% If anything black men are over represented where's your noise about Korean Chinese or Latino actors ...
Black people fucks with Justin timberlake hard af
+CKL EVERYTHING Exactly. Not to mention Dakota Fanning, Angelina Jolie and Sandra Bullock have been nominated for NAACP Image awards.
It's actually called Freeform and it's a young adult channel not exclusive to whites
I really wish things didn't have to be like this where we have black channels, black magazines, black awards shows, but guess what? It is, because I'm a black girl and I like makeup, I like hair and I like beauty things and I can't just go to the store and pick up any random magazine like Glamour, teen vogue, seventeen ect and expect there to be some tips on makeup for my skin, or good tips for curly natural hair because all the big magazine brands (most of the time) praise white girls everyday, that is societys standard of beauty. So in my opinion it isnt segregation that we have our own channels, and awards shows and ect, as lonh as society keeps praising everyone else but blacks thats how its gonna be.
Sydney Davison true
There is nothing wrong with promoting things based on culture. In other countries the opposite trend is true. For example, you don't see many white folks being promoted in Asian magazines or media. You don't find products specifically for white folks, or black folks. Because the majority are Asian. That doesn't stop some black or white folks from making it in the Asian media. Just as black folks can make it in any area they choose, in America. You can certainly keep your culture and the products you need. Just don't cry if white folks want their own, for their own as well. If "Black Pride" is OK, then so is "White Pride". But, in America, "White Pride" is automatically demonized as "racist". As would a specifically White media outlet be. While in general, "Black Pride" is encouraged.
Partially, though she did feel the need to add, "as society keeps praising everyone else but blacks that's how its gonna be." Which is not really true. If anything, especially these days the opposite might even be true. And like I said, if White folks do add the word "White" or "for whites" or anything of the sort, there is a problem. I say let everyone have their own, create their own and be proud of their own. There is nothing wrong with it. But let it be for everyone. Sometimes one group is going to be represented more than others. People trying to sell stuff will often promote to the biggest market. It's just a matter of demographics, which was my point.
Im white & I agree. I guess I was fortunate to have 2 parents that raised me with awareness that black ppl had been thru hell, and used so they earned the right and privilege to have their own voices through the solidarity with their brotheren. If I'm wrong, you can cyber-slap me.
Exactly were different we need to show what's for our different selves so that includes having separate things
but didn't Sam smith win a BET award? ? 😞
nina he diiiid😊😆aww I remember thaat🤣 I think he performed too
A few white or at least Jewish folks have. Which then begs the question, why call it BET? Black folks also win Country music awards. But country music awards are not called "White". To me, it pretty much solidifies Stacy's case.
He only won because his genre of music is R&B, not because anything else. R&B only belongs to black people...not any other race.
Matthew mathers??
Nina he won a BET award because of R&B songs
Meanwhile the BET AWARDS GAVE nominations to Justin Timberlake, Justin Beiber, Lady Gaga, and SAM SMITH ACTUALLY WON..but didn't even show up! LOL. Blacks need to stop being sooo inclusive when no one is trying to include you in their awards
So have the oscars but still more black people have won just like in the oscars more whites win.
+Bahia82 stacey is just pointing out what we all already knew about women: they LOVE to have their cake and eat it too (maybe that's why they also getting fatter and fatter in this country). Women are constantly bitching about how life is unfair, meanwhile they want to play both sides of the fence depending on which is giving them better benefits at the time. Time to expose this hypocritical feminist attitude: Manhood 101. c o m
TIME TO WAKE UP THE HYPOCRITES!
thatnickuh Now? It's always been owned by white people, everything is this country is owned by white people, directly or indirectly.
What is mainstream television? America is 70% white, 12% black, the masses are white.
To say bet is for a better portrayal of blacks in the main stream is to say so blacks look better infront of whites, which bet does nothing but degrade black people too.
+Bahia82 bwoy..! lol
+Bahia82 justin bieber has never won an award from bet stop lying and most people dont show up
I vote on the quality of their work, not by the color of their skin.
This comment, however short it is, is exemplary of how everyone in the works should think.
+ZeroWolf51 *world
+Ben S Exactly. She makes a good point, though I find it unfortunate that she's on fox, one of the most biased news channels ever. It's White = Black, not White < Black. Same thing goes for the all feminists that want alimony. It used to be Men = Women, now they want Men < Women.
so why didn't creed and straight out of compton get nominations? star wars?
a lot of movies nominated I haven't even heard of. at least a few
+Jessica Jessicas Opinions are not always shared, though that is surprising.
Stacy Dash has more Balls then the rest of Hollywood Elites to actually speak her own truth regardless. Good for her and much respect!!
tru
Tye Seeley she is not wrong.
Carlos Mexicano I agree Carlos, Huge respect for her courage.
TO ALL WHO DON'T KNOW: Every group of people has organizations, businesses, schools, neighborhoods, and associations that either affirm them, or protect them. These include White people such Irish, Italians, Polish, Germans, Russians, etc..There are predominantly Gay, Latino, Chinese, and Arabic neighborhoods across the nation. There are Catholic, Mormon, Women's, and Jewish colleges. The list goes on. There are t.v. channels for Gays, Armenians, Arabs, Italians, Latinos, Koreans, and South Asians. So Ms. Dash is WRONG on many counts. She is misleading in her implication that Blacks are the only people practicing self affirmation. She is also wrong in saying that BET and the NAACP are practicing discrimination. Many non Blacks are awarded and employed by both organizations. On the contrary, it is the mostly White organizations that discriminated against non Whites.
I don't believe in calling people degrading names. I don't approve of what has been said about Ms. Dash over the internet. She has the right to her own opinions. But according to what SHE said, her opinion is based upon false information, and flawd reasoning.
correction: flawed.
This why she in jail now 😂😂😂
Malaysia Collins
Girl, make room, I wanna jump on this petty 🚂
Did you see, she put “white” as her race on her arrest papers? 🤦🏽♂️😂😂
Just my thoughts but I believe the reason BET became a thing was because there was no representation of the black community that was given the credit and awards they deserved, simply because the color of their skin took their spot away from even being in the running. Take the spotlight away from a strong group of people and they will start their own spotlight. The problem is that the spotlight was always on these elite group of people, when is the time gonna come.
Correct.
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for this 💯
Yea Hollywood is run by liberals, finally the truth comes out, liberals are the real racists
absolutely correct. MTV was in existence yet they only played videos of white artist.
This is the first and probably only time I will ever SORT OF agree with her. Honestly, I don't think Jada would've said anything if her husband had been nominated. The Oscars are supposed to be about talent, not race. Would they be complaining if it was all black nominees?
Yeah I agree with the fact that well most actors are white (in the US). So it would only make sense that they own the majority of screen. Hence a white person has a bigger chance of winning an Oscar. It only comments sense. As to her bet and black history month comment it makes her statement clouded by the now offended viewers.
No we white people wouldn't cause we aren't whining bitches like other races
Luke Matthews
Have you not seen South Park? "they our jobs". Not to mention most sjws/feminist are white. Everyone whines.
+heidos7
If the Oscars would have been all black? Holy fuck the tears would be flowing uncontrollably. It would be like Hurricane Katrina flooding the entire country not just New Orleans. The massive amount of tears would probably cause a Tsunami worse the the 2011 one. I imagine Hawaii and Australia would be engulfed in the Tearnami.
+heidos7 You got to love how it has gone so far this racism bullshit that Will Smith blames not winning an award on being black! It's like an old SNL Eddie Murphy skit.
Black history… white history… and no one mentions Asian history month.
Asians haven't contributed to the origins of america due to not been her as long as white And black people so that's why
Josh Mendes 1/2 true…Heard of the Transcontinental Railroad? World War II?
Asians have contributed but to the extent that America had to est. exclusion acts to prevent any more of them from coming.
*****
Blacks and whites go hand and hand the 2 sides of the same coin when whites came they came or might I say dragged.. in a literal sense
Its a shame because really if they all got along in entirety we could all attain enlightenment as a species
I don't think there should be a month dedicated to a race. It will neglect others ethnic groups.
I've been saying this cor a while. Asian people rarely get talked about but they don't complain like black folks do.
Well... since you are going to get rid of BET then get rid of the Country Music Awards, Grammy Awards, Latin Awards, Asian-American Awards, Rock Awards, etc....
But Oscars it is suppose to be for everyone...and everyone should be included.
Notice that none of the awards you have mentioned, include the word "White". Any sort of "White" awards would not even be allowed in America. Darius Rucker won the New Artist of the Year award at the CMA's for his "Learn to Live" solo album, BTW. Google "black country singers" and be amazed at who they are. And guess what, a whole lot of White folks buy their albums! a few white folks, mostly Jews have won BET awards, of course. But then why call it BET? Maybe it should be called "Urban Contemporary", or something like that? Why specify "Black", especially if they will Award white folks? Doesn't make sense. As for black Oscar winners, black folks have been winning awards going back as far as 1940 with Hattie McDaniel. Sidney Poitier, Isaac Hayes, Louis Gossett, Jr.,Irene Cara, Prince, Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman, even the rap group Three 6 Mafia and many others have won. So yeah, everyone actually is included. But they win because they deserve it. They do not need to win just because they are black.
Everyone should be included if they could act.
Yeah, that was her point. Good job. You got it.
Ajiah Ci No black actors brought It! plain and simple
CMA are only majority white not all white.
White history month?There is 12 of them pick one
While stealing all the knowledge and resources from people of color, whether its the resources in Africa, the mathematical knowledge/resources in India, or even the Blues for Rock and Roll?
I would say you dont deserve shit, but you're white and you will steal every month anyway!
epicXmedia15
pretty sad you think being racist is a good retort
*****
are you really insinuating that whites didnt steal america from the native americans, massacring all of them after making "peace" with them? Are you implying whites didnt go to Africa to steal their diamonds and actual human beings? They didn't go to India to force indians there to give them every single piece of mineral or resource their land had?
Jesus you really are clueless.
***** yet at the end of it all, they were all conquered by whites and their countries mainly face turmoil to this day because of that.
Quagmire97 ahh not cultured I see? Those words were spoke by a man named Dave Chappelle who was a very very racist man. I feel like the sarcasm is gonna fly right over your head again like it did in my original comment...
According to Al and Jada's thinking, should all races other than blacks boycott the NBA until a white player gets MVP?

So Stacey should Latinos get rid of telemundo as well?
Latino is not a race though, they can be of any race white, black, asian, native American or mixed race
***** I know but telemundo and Univision have some racially diverse shows
+Billy Madison so does BET if you actually took the time to watch it. They have even given awards to white people many times, which is why her shitty argument holds no water.
No one is forcing you to watch and they are not demanding to be nominated for their acting jobs . So what is your issue . English speaking channels can be seen in Spanish speaking countries , so what ?
+Igabella Solamente si latinos son igualmente desvergunzados a los negros y incisten en pendejadas que no tienen merito. Now you should be able to read that if you're really a latino
I applaud her for speaking the truth about the Real racism in America, which is predominantly derived from the liberally minded black community that feels that even if an actor didn't deserve an award, he/she should still deserve one because he/she is black...
I'm a democrat, and even I agree with you.
+MrRedpaul84 Great job generalizing all black people and missing the point, moron.
+MrRedpaul84 Agreed. People have gone from "it's racist because he/she didn't win this or that because of their race" to "it's only right that he/she wins this or that *because* of their race!"
You are a moron.
Dumbasses like you have zero clue. Probably would be the same piece of shit complaining in the 40s about how petty it is for blacks to want to drink from the same fountain.
I refuse to get caught up in the petty problems of millionaires. They're squabbling over little golden statues while the rest of us are blinding ourselves more and more by hatred, bigotry, and unnecessary drama. At the end of the day, they'll whine about this now and then vacation in the French Rivera together later, happy as clams.
Well said. I can’t believe people idolize celebrities
@@Straightjacket154 🤦♀💯
she look DANG good for 50!!👍
Yasha Jackson but she sure DANG stupid :)
She aged though when/ was younger fine as he..!!!!!
See she would have one hell of an argument about BET and BET award shows "IF" she actually watched them...
Because if she did, she would know that's there are plenty of white people that attend and are awarded at them awards... She started off with a point that went left.... She also forgot to include that she should NOT be allowed on to work on a predominately white syndicated TV network..."if that were the case". For her to even say "make up our minds" as if we are the masterminds behind this division astounds me. Back to the drawing board Staci.
And people, just like her who've never watched the bet awards, will eat her bullshit up too.
She was simply making a point. Her point is, either we're for, or against racial segregation.
If we're against it, then we shouldn't do it ourselves.
I agree with her.
But I think this situation specifically has been taken to the extreme. Just because blacks aren't nominated this year, doesn't mean that they're separating from people of color.
+santanaoutlaw EXACTLY! Morgan Freeman also made a statement like this in an interview once.
+santanaoutlaw Spot on!

If you do, (and I ask this without sarcasm,) would you be okay with a network called "CAT." (Caucasian American Television.)
Oh god... Fox goes out of their way to get these BS political commentators!!! Such a propaganda channel. Fair and Balanced my ass!

But she's of color my friend should we broadcast it to cnn maybe ? Need a Asian Mexican Indian to agree with them as well, oh right she's an American like she said fuck color.
👏
+i am Jon :O they don't do it with just black people. Fox always manages to find the one person who has a different opinion compared to the certain group of people that said person is a part of.
Almost like they need to use that person to push whatever agenda they are running that day.

+Nafir Alvarez I did too but, ohhhh welll .
I personally don't feel that she was saying that there should be no black recognition I take it as she was saying that if we do not want separation then the Oscars should not only focus on whites and BET should not focus on only blacks
she is absolutely right if we continue to put separation then we will continue to have separation
People are clearly missing the point of what she's saying. You're absolutely right. At the end of the day, if Black people were making Oscar worthy films, this whole debate wouldn't even be taking place.
+candie black From the African American side I think bet etc is needed because they are not getting enough recognition within America.
+MrJTYoung7 black people don't get enough opportunity fuck you talking bout? All these decades and not even 10 blacks at least nominated FOH
Naw sista girl. Take what she said LITERALLY!
It's not really about the oscars that ticked people off its just the fact that she said that there shouldn't be a black history month which we obviously do need because we need to look at the black achievements and the black culture that schools don't teach as often. And the fact that she's obviously a hypocrite because she's worked for BET, if you didn't stand for what they stood for than why did work for them.
Everyone go see Beast of No Nation and tell me that Idris Elba did not have the talent to get nominated for an Oscar and tell me race doesn't matter when he clearly had the best performance of 2015 winning several BAFTA Awards
I'm black. And I definitely agree with her. One min we want special treatment. Next we want equal treatment. Which one is it.
IDGAF. she is cute as Hell! were the Hispanics at the academy awards? the Asians? :O
Hispanics outnumber blacks by 10 million in the U.S but there are more black films than Hispanic films now this is racism
Google should be your new best friend! At least 6 Hispanic channels on cable, Hispanic Heritage Month, Hispanic Heritage Awards etc. You're either under a rock or being sarcastic. I hope for the latter!

I kind of agree with her, I don't get why we would start using a process where we would set a race quota if we're all aiming for equality.
I think you need to research why African Americans were forced to set up platforms outside of the mainstream ones where their achievements could be acknowledged.
Frida Oshun Doesn’t change the point that race quotas are a ridiculous idea. But I see where you’re coming from.
We were told that we're ugly, we were told we're dumb, we were forced to endure extreme measures of racism & put up with segregation. So I celebrate Black History Month. ✊🏿
Stacey Dash is so far removed from reality. The reason why BET was created was to showcase African-American music and other formats that is African-American based and the reason why was because MTV (at the time which was the main music television show) was not featuring African-American videos, thus BET. The reason why Black History month was created was to remind African-Americans and other americans alike our contribution to society. African-Americans contribution is so much richer than what the mass media want to portray which was mainly slaves and maids. African-Americans was inventors and creators to a lot of things that we use today such as the broom, stop light, cell phone but it is never recognized. We wouldn't need a BET, Centric, NAACP, DOVE and other facets that accentuate to African-Americans if we treated as equal like Americans should! If African-Americans were treated as equal we would've not needed Civil Rights movements, civil rights workers who was fighting for African-Americans to be treated as equal to their counterparts, we wouldn't need Black Lives Matters movement to remind police officers and law makers that African-American lives matters. We have to be constantly reminded that we are not equal as our fellow Americans thus we have to constantly create formats and resources that accentuate African-Americans that retain the dignity of African-Americans for African-Americans. As you notice, African-Americans were snubbed by the Academy Why? Because the roles were not subsuviant or showing African-Americans in a negative light. The reason why White Americans don't need a White History Month is because the culture, currency, laws have all been centered around Whites, supported by Whites so why does their need to be a stamp for Whites when they have embedded their signature? Stacey you need to think about what you say before you say it. Why Fox loves you because you are what they love: a person that has no clue about their culture.
You do know that BET was created a year BEFORE MTV right?
Tom Ryan hey dude you ever heard of the id channel? They got hours of white true crime stories give it a watch some time you might have a change of thought
Koontah Kentay How does that disprove the fact i provided?
Tom Ryan because all of those stories are not included in the statistics you goof!
+Christina Bennett Well, at any rate, BET was not demonstrating or setting a good example by showcasing ALL types of music by including Black music to various others. Regardless of who is more or less privileged, by only supporting your own clan, how could you get upset at another race for doing that exact same thing? BE the change that you want in the world. If you want White people to go out of their way to help/support/include Black people and other races, then as Black people, we should set an example by helping/supporting/including Whites and other races in the dealings of Black people as well. There always comes that point where someone needs to be that bigger man/woman. Expecting someone else to do something that you are not willing to do is silly.
This girl will definitely get her "Black Wake Up" call. And when she does, let's see how diplomatic she then is.

She has a point. Morgan Freeman has said similar things. Look it up. It's just because she's associated with FOX News, people are looking down on her. Yes, in order to move forward, there should be a way to talk about the past without violence. In Australia, there's a national Sorry Day to apologize to the aboriginals whose lives were taken and other terrible things by white settlers.
I understand what Stacey Dash is trying to say but I disagree. Black history month, BET awards, etc. is a good way of black people uplifting one another. Too often I see a lot black people trying to bring each other down
Well said Stacy, well said!
+Mark Jones yup well said by the clueless girl.
+suprmekai5 Well said by the clueless guy.
Matthew O'Connor only clueless guys will congratulate clueless girls like you did.
+suprmekai5 That hillary-beast tell you to say that? Or was it the president? All you lefties walk in lock step.
suprmekai5 Maybe so, but what I can see is that the Oscars are somewhat one sided. I mean honestly, look at what movies and people get them. Matpat did a great video on it, I suggest you watch it.
She's right bet awards and Oscar awards create segregation. Why not have one with all nationalities
lmfao there are sooo many awards shows created for everyone that has talent so..m
My teacher literally said "save all of the questions about black history, for black history month," honestly. Its not like we arent black for the other 11 months of the year, and they gave us the shortest month of the year. How is it a double standard when the other 11 months of the year actually ARE white history month.
I'm sorry but I kinda agree with Stacy. I hate that everything like BET shouldn't highlight black people sooooo much like OMG why do we as black people feel like we are owed something so much. If there was a tv network for just white people and they announced it was "WHITE ONLY!" They would burn that network to the ground. It's a double standard FORREAL. Like omg everyone is EQUAL ... Leave it as that. There's no black there's no white. We're all human being and children of God he doesn't treat us different so we should treat each other different
Isn't white history month pretty much every month other than black history month?
+ziah Reid well no shit its a white country
Lightitupp1 I don't feel guilty.I just think it makes sense that black people would need their own exclusive conduits given how they have been excluded historically in our country. There is no evidence for that being the case with the oscars but that is why things like black history month exist.
Stfu thats why no one knows about so called "white history month" no one cares about it
Oh this lady is so lost... has she ever read her history?
+obi The ignorance lol
+obi Wow do you work for fox also?
Obi, Obi, Obi... Africans didn't make it racial... Europeans did...please get the knowledge so you can at least analyze without emotions... tsk, tsk, tsk
+obi being that direct lineage is required for someone to a persons "ancestor". "Everyone's" ancestor were not slaves and slavemasters. There are people who come from lineage that wasnt involved in slavery at all.
It's called self hatred.
She is entitled to her own opinion & to a certain degree I agree with her!
She’s beautiful and smart. Damn shame most people don’t see it clearly as she does.
🤣🤣🤣
ummmm but back to things that really matter.... What about that water supply ✌👀🍺
exactly💯👉🏆🚮
+Jebediah Hargrave rite after ppl are sick😕😕😕
+PlusFab Metoo Fuck the water supply, Millionaires complaining about not getting more millions is what really matters.... smh
+Papa Georgio Damn right. Fuck the poor, and the middle class who's paying for the poor to do nothing. Only rich lives matter.
+Papa Georgio right and that's really 😢
Stacy Dash- the oldest sellout to date
+Meshiaxbby nah, Morgan Freeman said pretty much the same thing but no one complained
if people are gonna be asking for any new history months we should get a Hispanic history month for my hard working Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, ect.
Why are they bringing race into it? If someone earns an Oscar, does it matter if they are black or not??? NO!!! It's stupid
Need to add one more thing, Oscar are not important anyway :) the films they do alone is the celebration of their talents
The oscars are not racist. The movie's that are nominated are picked by a group of individuals who vote on the best movies, actors, cinematography and ect. A good portion of these people are of Africa decent, also if I'm not mistaken the chairman ( basically a CEO) of the Oscars is black. The reason that no black actors were nominated is because there were no actors that deserved a nomination. Sure people argue creed but Mike Jordan was not that good of an actor in the film. All of the emotional scenes were mostly carried by Sylvester Stallone who is more experienced. If an experienced actor like Stallone was not in the movie Jordan might have gotten a nomination. Then there was straight out of Compton which personally is one of my fave movies about musicians but was really just a one sided depiction of the events surrounding NWA and company. The acting was sub par except for the person who played Dre and ice cube. So, yes there were some decent movies featuring black people but
They just don't stack up to movies like the Revenant. Also if you read all of this no super hero movie should win an Oscar.
+FunnymanHU4life The Oscars are not racist, they love black movies. Didn't 12 Years A Slave win Best Picture 2 years ago along with a black actress? Didn't Precious get numerous nods? Didn't Crash (the movie about racism) win Best Picture? what about Selma?
+badgalbynes If you pay attention to the description of each movie you just mentioned than you are more blind than I thought. Jesus. Can you name a black movie or actor/actress that has been nominated or won an Oscar that was not in the role of a slave,criminal,crooked cop, civil rights...etc if you can name me five...no...THREE ACTORS/ACTRESS or particularly black movies that are excluded from that genre. I will see you as not another white person blind of a minorities everyday reality
people are just turning a small thing into a huge thing.
and not only African Americans watch BET.
+RAY AND FAMILY Only black people are allowed to watch bet.
I'm white but I only watch BET when the fresh prince of bel air is on
haha right !
Someone is using their head I see. Humans have become to mello dramatic its not a huge issue calm down.
+Dab along,Smoke along. Stay Medicated I am Black and I never watch BET. I flipped passed it and watched a little of the show Mowry Twin but I couldn't watch the whole show. My parents wouldn't even allow me to watch it when I was younger. From the things I seen from it in the pass I can understand why.
But, I could have swore B.E.T. had Sam Smith, Robin Thicke, Eminem, French Montana, Kim K, and others at their award show.
Appreciate black history month, without it the whites like me would not hear of the heroines and heroes who inspired not only black people but other minorities (who fyi don't have a month). No joke lol school talked about it a lot when i was young. That one month can teach a thousand people.
Stacey raised very important questions.
How many white people were nominated for a BET award?
You realize the point of BET is because black people weren't being represented in Hollywood so they made their own thing. White people still get nominated also
Actually quite a lot including Justin timberlake and lady Gaga and more. Sam smith basically won the entire award show one year.
+Idk Alslston Actually, Macklemore and Eminem have won BET awards.
Yung Nike Sock but what if there was a White Entertainment Awards? Would it be racist?
The channel name Bet stands for Black Entertainment Television that's why. All these other channels and awards on Tv are 99% white. why can't we have our own channel since y'all wanna take over all other channels 🤔. Hmmm I wonder.
I agree we should have a white entertainment channel
it already exist everywhere
Wait...
Were CMT, ABC, NBC, TBS, and FOX suddenly taken off the air?
dumb
+doctamic That's basic television you moron....
+Denzel Banks rename any station and put white in it and see if it doesn't cause a problem. That's the point, moron. Double standards.
She's 100% right. This is logical, objective thinking. She's WAY smarter than I thought. She's extremely intelligent and wise.
I agree with her honesty, no latin tv, no asian tv, black to be excepted let's take more pride in ourselves instead of excluding ourselves from everyone else
She is spot on. You can't have it both ways. You can't have BET and Latin awards and then complain about the Oscars.
But it's been so one sided for so long where doing you find balance???
I understand what she's saying, but she just didn't elaborate on her ideas so it comes off as ignorant. I think Black History month is extremely important and it needs to be a part of our culture, but I could do without BET honestly.
yes, but every month, not one month out of a year..... celebrate all Americans year round, All Americans!!!
+Flavio Rocha You make some good points but, as a white guy, I have a little hesitation about walking through some neighborhoods in L.A.
I think the point she was making is that purposeful segregation makes integration impossible.
The real message should be one of personal responsibility. Is it harder for people of color to overcome the historical components at play? Yes. But will that change take place from the outside in? Never. It has to come from the inside out.
***** Totally agree with you, but I was just trying to explain why Black History month exists and not White History month. But yes, regardless of the social impact of our history, I totally believe in the individual overcoming any and all obstacles thrown at them, regardless of what it is.
Right on Flavio
+Flavio Rocha White history is everyday. Black people know more about white people than their own race. That is because as little kids we were inundated with white history and everything else white. We need BET, Centric, and every award show that celebrates the achievements of black people. The Oscars just proved that point. Btw, watch the movie Beast of No Nation with Idris Elba and tell be that movie didn't deserve a nomination.
Good for her for being one of the few blacks out there that are fair and not racist. The backlash from the black community, although predictable, speaks more about how racist and entitled they've become over the past 7 yrs. GOOD FOR YOU STACEY!!!
If what she’s saying is true “,
I agree with her 100%.
Blacks should be celebrating their history 24/7 - 365 days a year just like EVERYONE ELSE.
This little woman has a lotta guts and I really admire her strength.
Great Job.
Where's Asian history month or middle eastern history month
+kulvir brar There's Asian Lunar New Year. It's recently being celebrated and kids don't go to school on that day in the U.S.
+edward diaz that's only true in some places, but the majority of the school districts keep schools open on February 8 ):
It's called 9/11 and Free Panda Express Day
+edward diaz That is a cultural holiday and most places don't take the day off for something like that. Btw, I have no idea when black history month even is, because it has no significance whatsoever besides that name.
+kulvir brar May is Asian American history month and "middle eastern" isn't a race.
This year there were no Oscar worthy black actors this year. The ones I saw suggested were:
Human torch kid
Will smith in a movie about concussions
Ideas Elba in some movie that was very unpopular
Then the guy who played E in straight outta Compton
Do any of those deserve an award for best anything? Lol
What happen to other races as well?
+ImmortalSD I really havent watched any of those movies but Straight of outta Compton and I do feel like the guy who portrayed Easy E should have won something or even nominated.
+Valerie Williams or John boyega
+Valerie Williams or John boyega
+Valerie Williams Yea he could have been nominated, I feel that even if he was we would still hear that there is only a single nominee.
+ImmortalSD Im trying to understand both views but at the same time I will refuse to listen to dumbass stacy dash on this matter. She sounds bitter as hell about something that runs deeper than this whole oscar thing.
Stacey Dash speaks truth, there is a double standard, we are "Americans".
Damn she's still clueless
Ohhhh people hate logic and common sense.
Especially blacks unfortunately
***** I feel you're pain sir I have many who are friends and act that way. Facts don't matter so I don't know what well wake up the masses and trust libtard whites are just as bad.
+ZKronicMon Common sense isn't as common as the name implies, lol
Jessika Whitlock Fully agree!
Looks like Stacey Dash really is... *puts on sunglasses*Clueless
YYYYYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHH
She's almost on point where Black exclusivity goes. There should not NEED to be a Black history month or Black whatever.
If I was an actor, I would rather be overlooked because of my race than be nominated because of my race.
I actually agree with Stacey Dash about getting rid of BET. There are some good programs on there that should be on mainstream TV. But a lot of the shows on there contribute to all of stereotypes about us.
*the
There is a white history month..s..they're called January ,March April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, and December
+FireNinjaPrincess October is Latino History month.
+La Femme Italienne ah I see, sorry fam, they still got 10 months out of the year still tho
No American History has got 10 months out of the year. It should be all 12. As if blacks need only a month to go celebrate our history. POC history is American history, period point blank. Enough with the self-segregation.
+FireNinjaPrincess Don't forget to include February! Every month is white history month, even February that's supposed to be "black history month". This is the white man's world unfortunately.
Yes so why should blacks only get one? Shouldn't they get all 12 as well?
By the way the Oscar telecast was the lowest since 2007.
Why do people hate Stacey Dash again?
Brendan Feeley honestly I like her reasoning.
+Rachel Mwangi I agree with you too. My comment was aimed at everyone who has bashed this woman and tried to make her life a living hell.
Brendan Feeley I watched a lot of her videos searching for mistakes and reasons to hate her. She speaks her mind and though its harsh its the truth. I like her way of viewing things.
+Brendan Feeley i dont dislike her i just think she is missing the purpose of BET and the BET awards. Also from my understanding she is missing the point of black history month. i dont get how anyone can say black people can be seen as people who play the victim when they are literally being victimised in front of our eyes and protesting, having their own awards because they arent being represented AT ALL and having their own network is not playing the victim its taking control and doing for yourself something that obviously know one else is going to do for you. Black history month is not a double standard it represent the struggle of black people in the past, what ever stuggles or accomplishments white people have had is being represented EVERY other month. If black people wanting to talk about how they use to be lynched, beatin, whipped, discriminated against and now held at gun point for selling Cd's is playing the victim well then i guess the term better start being embraced because there is probably going to be a lot more talk about it. it is 2016 and black people are still having their firsts(first black president) thats kind of a shame. no one can say that not one black person has done something honorable enough for the oscars in those years. And she was quick to say there should be no BET but she made sure she said it after they gave her that check though.lol.
***** thats irrelevant but ok
Well said Stacy finally someone that makes sense! Either we're divided or we're not!
People always say there should be no BET and NAACP awards but never say anything about Latin Grammys and Billboard Latin Music Awards.
Different language. That's why nobody is complaining.
That's because those award shows are in Spanish and Portuguese and award those who make content in those languages. It's not exclusive and doesnt turn anyone away or look down on anyone just because they're not of Latino decent (ex. Il Volo, Italian singing group who made a Spanish album won a Latin Music Award). Because it's in a language that isn't English, it wouldn't interest Americans anyway. It's also very mixed race/culture so someone saying they can't get a Latin award because of their race or background is a little silly.
***** BET and NAACP awards are not exclusive... And I have never seen anyone looked down upon or turned away. I support Naacp/Bet/Latin Grammys and Latin Billboard award shows because they cater to people mostly get overlooked.
+Mathieu Maddox oh I know they aren't exclusive. Many non-black artist have won awards but people just assume they're exclusive because 99% of the awards go to black artists and creators. (which is the same problem with the Oscars except with white people.)
I can only give my opinion on BET but what I think is, it's in English and it's American but the problem people have with it lies in the name. Black Entertainment television. No other racial background in the US has a tv channel/tv shows/movies/award shows with its main foundation based on or around their race or ethnicity in the English language on basic cable tv. Not Latinos, Asians, Arabs, Indigenous. White people don't even have a channel named after their whiteness. Only black people have this plus 5 sister channels. People see it as separation from other races. Which, I'm assuming, is why they have a problem with it.
You must never heard of telemundo? Whites dominate tv what more do they need. If Asians, Arabs and any other race culture or whatever had their own channel I wouldnt care or pretend to be mad about it like most people under this video. I would watch and be entertained.
This woman is just unbelievable. Now she is sacked from Fox, she will be regretting what she said about BET
So freedom of speech is ok only if you agree with the smiths of the world, what a bunch of hypocrites.
Hey Jada and will Smith I think I'm going to start boycotting your movies, do think you would be as successful as you are without a white audience.
Boycott the NBA.
+HooptieHamburger i heard something about the nba can you fill me in hooptie,,,,thanks
dee will
It is the National Basketball Association, the highest level professional basketball league in the United States. 76% of the players are black although only 12.5% of the U.S. population is black. There is obviously racial discrimination going on. ;)
+HooptieHamburger LOL
This sort of reminds me of that black lives matter crap because when this situation is over with they're going to find every tiny little detail that apparently is racist and then argue about it.
Yea. Black lives matter is so crap. Especially cuz they're actually voicing their opinions about relevant issues but of course it's apparently crap.
Go to bed
It breaks my heart of the ignorance in the world now a days. I never had understood racism how can you hate someone just because of a race I know this may not have anything to do with the video I just feel like if everyone just didn't just see race. If you saw past race I feel like you would have a better life. Also, I'm a Christian if you aren't that's fine, but from my standpoint there is not a black section or white section or Asian section etc;. in Heaven anyways racism is a form of hate, and hate won't get you into the gates of heaven read the bible only the righteous get into heaven, and people who just have hate people with a deep feeling aren't righteous in my book now I'm not gonna argue with anyone cause I believe what I believe. I just hope if you have hate in your heart based upon someone's race let it go, and you'll see just how much easier life is without worrying about race! Have a wonderful day
That's right
Stacey s attitude is refreshing
She's as beautiful as she is intelligent.
+Joel George so she must be really ugly then lol
+angelsface200 truth
+angelsface200 if you think she's ugly, there's something wrong with you.
+El Cuñado You clearly didn't understand what she meant smh...idiots
+PandasDontShare I understand what she meant. but she still said that Stacey is physically unattractive. which is just flat out untrue
People can categorize humans as Whites, Blacks, Asians, Latino, or whatever they want. If I were to say someone was black it doesn't mean I have anything against them! People may think that if we were to call someone a black it implies that they are a thug or you should be scared of them or some shit I have no fucking idea about. It's just stereotypical to hear or say stuff like that, which I agree shouldn't be the case for any race.The point is this: race. color, ethnicity, gender, or sexuality can all be drawn back to one thing. We are all humans, and we should all be treated like one. Period.
+Just an Average Commenter Also, what I have noticed is when a white police officer goes to pull the trigger on a black man, people pay more attention to that rather than when a black man kills another black man. It is just pathetic. What I see is one HUMAN killing another HUMAN both ways. We need to defend each other. Not just our color.
stacey should have a problem with the simple fact that they are asking her thoughts solely based on her being black.
I agree with the awards part. She has a great point. You can't get mad at the Oscars when black people have a bunch of award ceremonies where only black people are nominated. It IS a double standard
Lowl Color doesn't matter
Yes it does and many of us black people are reminded of that our whole lives
+Janis I totally agree with you, Every group feels insulted and disrespected. WHEN are we going to stop the MADNESS
Oh my god, its gill gill!
+Yvonne R. Grant When people like you and this bigot Janis , have to go through the same amount of affliction ...as the above mentioned !!! Then , and ONLY then ...can it ceast !!
Color doesn't matter unless you're black in America.
There is a reason there is a black history month. I remember being in elementary school and being so excited for February because we actually were taught things about black history for a change. From this exposure I was able to learn more on my own later on. It made me excited, proud of my background. It made me proud to be an American, to see how we fought for our rights.The reason why there isn't a white history month is because most of what my class learned 11.5 months of the year was European/White American History. Thats why I respect National Hispanic Heritage month as well. Even though we come from different backgrounds we still are Americans, and therefore have our own slices of American history. Thats important to share and cherish it.
Exactly!
Stacey Dash is so right people have to much anger in their hearts. 👏👏👏
Abolishing BET is hardly the remedy for segregation. Equality and diversity seem like more sensible choices. And the lack of in mainstream media is reason those channels are necessary. This chic really is clueless!!
People are not getting the point. She isn't saying "get rid off BET", she's saying we need to make up our minds: either we have segregation or we don't. Which if we aren't going to be segregated, then YES, BET couldn't rightly exist. People just like to hear what they want because they are so uncomfortable talking about racial issues. Dash is a smart woman and I think she is 100% correct. Al Sharpton, on the other hand, is the biggest racist who ever lived.
She literally said there shouldn't be a bet ....
+obi I assume you're talking about blacks not segregating themselves? They don't. While there is interaction between the races, the different races tend to interact with each other. Haven't you ever noticed in school that the Asian kids usually hang out with other Asians, and the same goes for blacks, latinos, and whites? It's natural to gravitate towards and want to work/interact with those who look like you and have similar backgrounds. Racism plays a role in the segregation because it created the idea that some races are inferior or superior to others and that keeps groups from being able to interact fully because superior groups think less of others.
You win an Oscar because of you're talent, not your ethnicity
She's right , people just taking it the wrong way
SPEAK STACEY, TELL THE TRUTH, SHAME THEM DEVILS, BEINGS, AND EVIL HUMANS
