After being asked about the controversy surrounding the lack of diversity in Oscar nominations this year, Dash said black people are just as guilty for supporting the BET Awards.
"We have to make up our minds. Either we want to have segregation or integration. And if we don't want segregation then we need to get rid of channels like BET and the BET Awards. Just like there shouldn't be a Black History Month. We're Americans, period." Dash said.
GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump showed support for Dash's comments. Later in the show, he called it an "amazing interview."
BET, the channel where Dash was featured on several episodes of its hit series The Game, responded to her criticism.Social media exploded after Dash's comments surfaced online. She became the No. 1 trending topic on Twitter and Facebook. Black Twitter had no mercy on the actress turned political commentator.
