Donald Trump cheered on Stacey Dash who went on an Oscar-black-boycott rant on Fox News, saying "if we don't want segregation, then we need to get rid of channels like BET" and there shouldn't be Black History Month.
The network's cultural analysis contributor made her comments Monday on the morning show "Fox & Friends" while weighing on African-Americans like Spike Lee and Jada Pinkett Smith who say they will boycott the Academy Awards for its lack of diversity in major acting categories. Dash called their protests "ludicrous," said People magazine.
"Either we want to have segregation or integration," said Dash. "And if we don't want segregation, then we need to get rid of channels like BET and the BET Awards and the (NAACP) Image Awards, where you're only awarded if youâre black. If it were the other way around, we would be up in arms. It's a double standard."
"I don't think (there should be a BET). Just like there shouldn't be a Black History Month. You know? We're Americans. Period. That's it."
Republican presidential frontrunner Trump chimed in later on "Fox & Friends," noted Deadline.com.
"I saw somebody on your show today saying, 'Well, what do we do with BET?' The whites don't get any nominations. I thought it was an amazing interview, actually. I'd never even thought about it from that standpoint," said Trump, noted Deadline.com.

What was she weighing on them?
I picked up this stupid error just by skimming, and this piece seems as though it’s written by an 8-year-old. A person who is too incompetent or too lazy to proofread should not write for a living.
Just making it clear those were Stacey Dash's words, not Donald Trump's. He apparently promotes the spirit behind them, of not continuing to stir the race-pandering pot.
