BET Responds to Stacey Dash by Snark-Tweeting: ‘Can We Get Our Check Back?’

http://www.mediaite.com/online/bet-responds-to-stacey-dash-by-snark-tweeting-can-we-get-our-check-back/

Fox News’ Stacey Dash responded to #OscarsSoWhite today by saying that if people are so concerned about segregation, they should get rid of, say, BET, “where you are only awarded if you are black.”

Now, leaving aside the fact that white people have won BET awards, Dash has been getting a ton of social media blowback today. And BET ended up responding:


Soooooo @REALStaceyDash can we get our check back... or nah?

(Dash guest-starred on episodes of BET show The Game a few years back.)

Digitally blur out her face, and have her lines redubbed by a man with a heavy Eastern European accent.
