"Clueless" star and FOX News Contributor Stacey Dash appeared on Wednesday's "Fox & Friends" where she discussed her thoughts about the accusations of racism in this year's Oscar nominations, arguing the easiest way to avoid situations like that is to get rid of BET, NAACP and ven Black History Month, calling their existence a double standard.
"We have to make up our minds," Dash said, according to San Jose Mercury News. "Either we want to have segregation or integration. And if we don't want segregation, then we need to get rid of channels like B.E.T. and the B.E.T. Awards and the Image Awards where you're only awarded if you're black. If it were the other way around, we would be up in arms. It's a double standard."
Since last week's release of the 88th Academy Award nominees, prominent black figures in politics and the media have been calling for a boycott of the show. Such people include filmmaker Spike Lee, actress Jada Pinkett Smith and Reverend Al Sharpton, who is leading the charge.
Dash affirmed her position when host Steve Doocy asked her to repeat what she said about BET.
"No, I don't think so, no," she said, according to the New York Daily News. "Just like there shouldn't be a Black History Month. You know? We're Americans. Period. That's it."
Doocy then asked for clarification, asking there "shouldn't be a Black History Month because there isn't a white history month?"
"Exactly. Exactly," she responded

This isn't the first time Dash has made headlines for her comments. In 2012, she famously referenced a Martin Luther King speech when she endorsed Mitt Romney over Barack Obama; and in 2011 she tweeted her support of Paula Deen, who was in the middle of a scandal for her admission during court testimony that she used the n-word decades prior to the court proceedings.
Most recently, Dash was suspended from on-air reporting on FOX after she said Obama doesn't "give a s***" about terrorism.
