Waka Flocka shared his feelings on Stacey Dash’s assertion that black people no longer need dedicated institutions such as BET and the Image Awards.
In a video commentary found on MobyPicture.com, the BSM defends the Clueless actress, stating:
“I can say Stacey Dash is wrong and she’s right. But how she said it, she couldn’t break down what she was trying to explain. But honestly, I always felt like that. We got BET. BET is for black people. [Does that mean] MTV’s for white people? Think about it. Why the fuck do we have black history month but only in February. How can the people that took our history give us our history, but only for one month?”
A number of Hip Hop’s most noteworthy have reacted to Stacey Dash’s statement during Fox & Friends this week. Bun B referred to Dash as the #BiggestCoonInTheRoom. During an interview with Dr. Boyce Watkins, her cousin, Dame Dash said “It really isn’t the best thing to hear ‘Dash’ associated with cooning,”

what has the world come to she waka flocka is the voice of reason
I thought he was an idiot at first but the past few years I’ve come to realize he’s actually intelligent. I don’t always agree with what he says but he when he speaks he usually presents sound reason.
The white media is only giving Stacy Dash a platform cause this b*tch thinks she’s get there acceptance by tearing us down. It’s disgraceful, pathetic and embarrassing. F*ck that B*tch. However, I’m trying 2 understand what Waka is saying., but, does he know BET is white owned? We don’t control that. We don’t control the media and the images, the ideas and the subliminal brainwashing that occurs. Now., I don’t now if Waka understands the origins of Black History Month. But, this isn’t something that wasn’t given to us. We started this. We started this 2 take away the power of them teaching our kids their sanitized version of HIStory, as apposed to us teaching our kids our story. The true story of how great of a people we are. Some of us complain that its the shortest month of the year., I don’t know how that came about., but f*ck it., everyday, every month, every year is Black History Month in my household.
Waka already said he was educated looong time ago. He jus knew what would sell. cmon now. and he’s 100 on the nose. How Stacy said it was butt as wrong, BUT she makes a valid point. Y are we celebrating our culture for only one month? and the shortest month at that? BUT i do not agree with her B.E.T comment. if it was not for B.E.T, we would never get any type of recognition for our work. We get that on BET. MTV is no where near as racist as the Oscar but it has its moment. Wout BET or Black History month, we would never have any type of recognition. So i disagree with her on there. Plus, Eminem, Iggy and other whites won on BET awards so shes wrong again. Waka dead on tho.
It’s hard to believe how short some people’s memory’s are. I remember the early days of music video. MTV WOULD NOT play black artist. At took a threat from Colombia Records for them to even play Michael Jackson’s videos. Now we are suppose to dump BET because of a few gains. That’s laughable.
Isnt BET owned by white folks now?
Stacy is wrong as hell. The point she was making wasn’t that black history shouldn’t be limited to a month it was that we shouldn’t celebrate it at all. We as a ppl have to think. We haven’t even had the right to vote for 100 years yet. We still have plenty of obstacles in the way and I kno that the playing ground isn’t level between black and white. Dat bitch drank the kool aid. Most of the ppl in power at Fox news are die hard traditional super conservatives. They are just glad to have a pretty nigga in the house again.. peace
Stacey Dash is completely right you stupid niggas are retarded. BET is controlled by white people and only dumbs down black people who watch it. Black history month is retarded because blacks are found all throughout (Africa is the cradle of modern civilization) history you dont need a special month. Thats like giving a retard special classes it puts them on a lower level.
“Thats like giving a retard special classes it puts them on a lower level.” You nailed it! These dudes is retarded. They learn the low frequency of their selves. Don’t wanna go back to Egypt, don’t wanna question their Pastor, don’t wanna see themselves as when we were self governed. So they complain about the HOW they’re being governed. Stock. Holm. Syndrome.
When Kanye was complaining about Nike, niggas was asking why don’t you do your own shit independently. But when muhafuckas start boycotting the Oscars, a white institution just like Nike, muhafuckas is like “Yeah, blacks need more nominations”. BULLSHIT. Blacks needs to distribute they own movies and say fuck the Oscars and never go back. That’s what I got out of Stacey’s comment. And I agree. Stop begging and protesting and govern yourselves Stockholm Syndrome having muhafuckas. And Black History Month is some fuck shit like all these movies Oprah and them be doing that act like our History starting at/after slavery. We were Pharoahs but y’all wanna be Kings?! Dumb ass Stockholm Syndrome having muhafuckas. Keep begging and praying for handouts. Mic Drop
Its hard to take this marble mouth, dumbass nigga seriously. He lacks the intelligence to speak on issues such as these and should shut his fucking mouth.
But he didn’t say anything wrong. Our history was taken , then given back but only for a month it makes sense. He is a rapper and has a bad image but their actually really smart.
The reason we celebrate black history month is because Frederick Douglas birthday is in February learned that from Paul Mooney.
I have a few questions. Who do some of you think Black History Month was given to us by white people??? Why don’t some of you use black history month to find out the origins of the organizations and holidays that you question before blurting out ignorance. Understand that the people who organized movements and created entities for your community are the very reason why you have visibility and access to many of the platforms you enjoy today. So now y’all feel like y’all good now and these black based organizations are embarrassing to you now- FOH with your uneducated asses.
