Stacey Dash and Jesse Williams will not be spending the 4th of July together. On Sunday, Williams was awarded the BET Humanitarian Award and the star took the stage where he delivered an epic speech, which moved the audience to its feet.
For an entire week, Williams has been trending on Twitter, Facebook, and some have even started a petition asking for a national holiday to be named after him. The words were so powerful that it pushed The Color Purple‘s author Alice Walker to pen a poem about Williams.
However, not everyone liked the acceptance speech, Clueless actress and FOX News pundit Stacey Dash took to her blog where she shared a lengthy post entitled “You’ve just seen the perfect example of a HOLLYWOOD plantation slave!” in which she slammed Williams. Dash wrote:
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.
She added:
Particularly the speech given by Grey’s Anatomy star Jesse Williams, whose tirade after receiving the 2016 BET Humanitarian Award for his black activism was nothing short of an attack on white people. What he said was straight out of the Black Lives Matter playbook, reminding the audience that police do “not kill white people” and in fact, prefer pulling “a drive by on a 12-year-old kid [Tamir Rice] and then going home to make a sandwich.”
Dash’s post has gone viral, and thousands have flocked to her site to insult her. However, few are praising her for pointing out to the fact that black people should stop blaming the white man for their failures.
