Stacey Dash is still out here doing the most and in her latest rant she comes for Jesse Williams and her arch-nemesis BET.
In a blog post, the Fox News contributor writes: “I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: BET is keeping racism and segregation alive and this past Sunday’s awards show proves it. Particularly the speech given by Grey’s Anatomy star Jesse Williams, whose tirade after receiving the 2016 BET Humanitarian Award for his Black activism was nothing short of an attack on white people.” You can clearly see that this about to be one of the most absurd arguments ever made.

Dash goes on to compare Williams to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory character Veruca Salt for demanding that Black people receive equality and freedom now, a comparison that made our eyes roll across the floor. She then calls him “the perfect example of a HOLLYWOOD plantation slave!” She used an exclamation point so she’s really in her feelings now. She accuses Williams of spewing hate and claims that his argument is invalid based on the fact that he’s standing on BET’s stage.
Dash ends her rant with a statement that makes it clear that she doesn’t know how systemic racism and oppression work. “That chip on the shoulders of people like you will weigh you down and keep you from flying free. But true freedom is never free. You have to know how to fly. If anyone is making you feel this way it’s you. Living in a psychological prison of your own making. If anyone is GHETTO-IZING anyone, it’s people like you letting the BETs and other media outlets portray us in stereotypes. “
