Stacey Dash has caused a major uproar over the past week for remarks she made about eliminating Black History Month in response to the Oscar’s diversity controversy. Now, the actress is demanding an apology from her haters but fellow actress Gabrielle Union has dismisses her as just plain ‘crazy.’
As we previously reported, while on Fox & Friends the Clueless star said that if African Americans want to be considered for an Academy Award then they shouldn’t exclude themselves with channels like BET and events like Black History Month.
"When I spoke out on Fox News and on my blog about the need to get rid of BET and Black History Month, all the same usual Twitter haters came out of the woodwork to troll me and say all sorts of disgusting things about me," the 49-year-old wrote in a follow-up blog post. "Well, if you're going to call me ignorant, stupid, and an Uncle Tom, you need to be intellectually honest and also call out Morgan Freeman."
Dash is referring to comments Freeman made a decade ago in an interview with 60 Minutes when he said, "You're going to relegate my history to a month? I don't want a Black History Month. Black history is American history."
After all the backlash she has gotten, Dash said that black people in America have disowned and feels she is owned an apology. However, not too many people are sympathetic to her now and that includes Gabrielle Union, who in a recent interview acted like she didn’t know who the actress Dash was only some ‘crazy lady.'
