Everyone and their Uncle Spike are sounding off this week about the lack of diversity at this year’s Academy Awards. Jada Pinkett Smith led the charge, calling for a boycott of the show. Now, actress and Fox News contributor, Stacey Dash says the real boycott should be of Black networks and award shows.
“We need to get rid of channels like BET, and the BET Awards and the Image Awards, where you’re only awarded if you’re Black. If it were the only way around we would be up in arms.”
Watch her statements:
