Now wait a mo !

I thought she made a lot of good points. Based on comments I've read on other news sites for the same thing many agree with me. BET is an ongoing example of blacks not wanting to live by the same rules they want non-blacks to live by.

What we're going to see for sure now is a quota system with the oscars where each year a token black person, irrespective of skill, will be given an oscar or at the very least a nomination just so that we don't get more race complaints. Based on media coverage of all the race cards you'd almost forget there is another minority even larger in population than blacks in the US.

[smilesammich 10,727]

this.

Finally, how many times have you heard someone say some version of this: "Where is/why can't we have a 'White History Month?'"

This is harsh, but it must be said. We don't believe that anyone allowed to use the stove alone is actually that obtuse. This is only the kind of thing that a person can say after first deciding to willfully ignore or embrace half-truths and falsehoods concocted to distract or even displace the well-documented reasons that black organizations and institutions exist. And, you also have to be willing to ignore what they do and who they serve now. Further, to believe that white history, white contributions to the arts or anything else are ever neglected, rejected or omitted wholesale in any setting in the United States requires all of the same.

White Americans are the group with the longest and richest history of race-related violence, racial exclusion enforced by violence and intimidation and -- even as of today -- allowing all manner of major and essential social structures and services to remain substantially separate and unequal. White Americans have benefited from this system and still do today. Some more than others, to be sure, but, that's the truth. And, maintaining these distances and benefits typically rank among the goals of those who seek to create exclusively white institutions, organizations and places today.

To put this really simply, the NAACP and the KKK are not the same. Black History Month and a white nationalist celebrations are quite different. They don't do the same things. They don't have the same goals, and they have not shaped America in the same ways. To pretend that such a thing is even close to true is to tell oneself a mighty set of mind-warping lies. It insults the bravery of the men and women -- black and white, Latino, Asian and Native American -- who did the work to secure hard-won bits of equality. It ultimately gives those who engage in this line of thinking cover to avoid truths about this country's racial past and present. But that does not make it accurate.

Dash's claims that the existence of Black History Month and things like BET, the BET Awards and the NAACP Image Awards are what impede American progress toward racial oneness lie somewhere between that school of thought and what her defenders will no doubt say is genuine hope. They will claim that Dash was expressing a sincere and well-intentioned wish that black culture, black art, black history, black life will take a place at the table with every other venerated, researched and carefully documented American thing. They will insist that, on its face, there is nothing at all wrong with that.

They will insist that should be a goal in a pluralistic and democratic society. They will ignore what is and talk about what should be. They will pretend that if black, Latino and Asian Americans just stopped talking about race and ethnicity and shuttered every institution and organization created to recognize, accept, educate, employ or empower them when no one else would, racism itself would somehow magically disappear.

Yes, for those who agree with Dash, racism will dissipate via the ultra-reliable route of denial.

What we can say about Dash -- an actress best known for co-starring in the 1995 movie "Clueless," a spin-off TV show and playing the female lead in a series of films and television shows marketed primarily to black audiences -- is that she picked a mighty odd place to dive deep, given her own career history. Dash's acting resume (click the link above) includes a multi-episode arc on a show called The Game. One of those episodes ran on BET after the show switched networks and BET essentially rescued it from cancellation.

The inaccurate information and false equivalencies she dispatched in that Fox News interview rest on Dash's shoulders. She said them. But Fox also began making Dash a network regular, providing social and political commentary after the actress declared herself a Mitt Romney voter in 2012, was attacked for it online and later made some disparaging comments about President Obama. That appears to be about the sum total of Dash's commentator credentials.

Yep. Clueless indeed.

She does not realize that by her reasoning she is against any type of support or recognition of any group that wants to celebrate their heritage or achievements. Minorities, women, gays, etc.

Even if we take race out of the equation does she realize (as a woman herself) what women fought for (and is still fighting for) in history to the point to where she is able to have a voice in a STILL male dominated media industry.

Her argument has as much strength as wet toilet paper.

[Transborderwife 4,666]

BET and the new one Centric make me kind of laugh. Mostly because for a long time it was the only place that I could catch my reruns of Fresh Prince or Family Matters. Some of their programming is zzzzzzzz but as a very white female I enjoy it from time to time. Not your point I know, but still.

[Ebunoluwa 6,136]

The Oscars don't need a black token, there is plenty of good talent there, but rather she is a clueless token used by FOX so the white

establishment can cheer on the status quo and say see, here we have a token who sees it our way.

Anyone who does not get the many layers of depth regarding why there is minority support such as BET,

needs their reality meter checked. It is the basics of understanding minorities. The basics.

BET has absolutely nothing to do with

blacks not wanting to live by the same rules as whites, they do in fact but as we see they are still oppressed, that's the point of BET.

When there are more or should I say any recognized and rewarded black actors, BET will fade, not that it should.

Get pushed and bullied around, oppressed and ignored and you will seek out other venues, I guarantee you will no longer sit at the door

waiting for a morsel to drop your way, no you will make it happen, that is BET. Period.

Anyone who does not see this needs a very intrinsic black history education to reach a platform of understanding the dynamics involved.

Top fluff won't do it, dig deeper, peel the layers.

No worries, from now on there will always be at least one black person that gets a nomination so that people can avoid being called out - they will just add it as part of the criteria. Many people will of course think (but never say) "Is that the best person or just the best black person?"
