Despite a hype performance from Beyoncé and Kendrick Lamar, Jesse Williams was easily the most talked about person at the BET Awards after his powerful speech on cultural appropriation and the Black Lives Matter movement.
However, not everyone was a fan and Stacey Dash (who apparently doesn’t really like awards show speeches at all) had some words for the Grey’s Anatomy actor. "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," Dash, who appeared in numerous videos which aired on BET, wrote in a blog post titled "Racist speech at BET Awards attacked white people."
Ever the voice of reason, the Clueless actress had just as much of a problem with where he made his speech in addition to what he said in it. "You’ve just seen the perfect example of a HOLLYWOOD plantation slave! Sorry, Mr Williams. But the fact that you were standing on that stage at THOSE awards tells people you really don’t know what your talking about. Just spewing hate and anger," she continued.
The 49-year-old took issue with Williams supposedly "spewing hate and anger" despite previously saying that trans people should just pee in the bushes if they can’t find a bathroom and calling for an end to Black History Month because there isn't a "White History Month."
Dash, who also pointed out that his "cognitive dissidents" (or as it's actually spelled: dissonance) has him "getting it from THAT BYSTANDER," ended her rant by writing, "If anyone is GHETTO-IZING anyone, it’s people like you letting the BETs and other media outlets portray us in stereotypes."
