In an
interview on TV show “Fox and Friends”,U.S presidential candidate, Donald Trump
has expressed his opinion on about celebrities boycotting the 2016 Oscars over
the lack of black nominees..
Trump,
along side Stacey Dash, shared his opinion on when both guests had been asked
about their thoughts on celebrities boycotting the Oscar awards because the
blacks had not been nominated for 2 years in a row.
“I
think it’s a tough situation. I think it’s really sad, I saw somebody on your
show today say, ‘Well, what do we do with BET?
He
then mentioned Fox News contributor Stacey Dash’s earlier comments on the show
“The
whites don’t get any nominations, and I thought it was an amazing interview,
actually. I’ve never even thought of it from that standpoint.”
“I saw
someone on your show today saying, ‘Well, what do we do with BET, Black
Entertainment?’ Right?”
“The
whites don’t get any nominations.”
“And I
thought it was an amazing interview actually. I never even thought of it from
that standpoint,”
Stacey
Dash, had called out Black Entertainment Television (BET) during the interview
for giving awards to mostly black people. Speaking during the interview, she
said:
“I
think it’s ludicrous, because we have to make up our minds.
“Either
we want to have segregation or integration. If we don’t want segregation, then
we need to get rid of channels like BET and the BET Awards and the Image
Awards, where you’re only awarded if you’re black. If it were the other way
around, we would be up in arms. It’s a double standard.”
