BET didn’t take kindly to Stacey Dash’s comment on Fox & Friends last week that, “If we don’t want segregation, then we need to get rid of channels like BET and the BET Awards…where you’re only awarded if you’re black.” Responded BET Networks chairman and CEO Debra L. Lee, “African American contributions to American culture are countless and we cannot and should not wait for anyone to acknowledge them – we have to do it ourselves and we are proud that we can do our part.” But the network had its fun, too, posting music videos over the weekend featuring Dash with hashtags including #WeStillLoveYou, #YoureOneOfUs and #EvenIfYouDontWantToBe.
