Whether while watching live or via the glorious viral internet reactions, we all felt the awkward pain and frustration of Stacey Dash’s appearance at the Oscar’s this past Sunday evening. After still being thoroughly confused and rightfully irritated by Ms. Dash’s existence, I’ve decided it’s due time for me to compile a list of kickass ladies who can help this crazy woman check herself before she further wrecks herself.

1. Maxine Shaw 

   

   Max was without a doubt the OG feminist and always had sassy words of wisdom for the crew, making her biting wit a prime weapon against nonsense.

2. Sofia
   

   

   All her life she had to fight, but she’ll kill anyone dead before they get rid of black history month.

3. Denise Huxtable
   

   

   With her bohemian smarts and thirst for justice, this Huxtable is leading the charge against foolish ignorance.

4. Bernadine Harris
   

   

   Angela Bassett alone could have made this list, but we’ll let this gif speak for itself.

5. Cookie Lyon
   

   

   One look from this ruthless woman and you’ll be KO-ed faster than a game of Mortal Kombat — SLAY, COOKIE, SLAY!

6. Rochelle
   

   

   With the undeniable power of black motherhood she could strike the fear of god into any unsuspecting human being.

7. Celie
   

   

   Though incredibly soft-spoken and misguided throughout most of The Color Purple, no one can deny the deeply satisfying strength she gains by the end of the film — you tell ’em girl.

8. Clair Huxtable
   

   

   She had her entire family (and audiences watching at home) in the palm of her hand — forever our favorite mom that we would never even think of crossing.

9. Khadijah James
   

   

   Homegirl always knew what was up. She was more often than not the hearty laugh and voice of reason we so desperately needed.

10. Annalise Keating
    

    

    With the wave of a gun and some elaborate genius plan she would have Stacey in line quicker than she could say BET.
