Jan 20, 2016

Actress Stacey Dash was trending again on Twitter after an appearance Wednesday morning on Fox & Friends.

Dash, the actress best known for her role in the movie "Clueless," has been a contributor on the show. She was recently suspended from the network for comments she made in reference to President Obama.

This time, host Steve Doocy asked Dash for her opinion on some actors in Hollywood (and Rev. Al Sharpton) calling for a boycott of the Oscars due to a lack of diversity.

Dash said Oscar viewers and Americans have to decide if they want segregation or integration. And if we choose segregations, then we need to get rid of things like Black Entertainment Television (BET) and Black History Month.
