Denzel Washington and Viola Davis stars in the movie Fences. The movie is nominated for an Academy Award.
For the Oscars, it's going to be a tad bit diverse. After two consecutive years of all-White nominees, the Academy Awards has decided to get things right.
The Academy nominated 10 black actors and filmmakers. It also has six-African American themed films, an Indian adventure, and Pacific Islander-themed movie.
Name recognition goes to Barry Jenkins, who scored a nomination for Moonlight. Ava DuVernay's 13th was nominated for her documentary as well as Raoul Peck's I Am Not Your Negro and OJ: Made In America from Ezra Edelman.
The black themed movies for Best Picture include Moonlight, Fences and Hidden Figures.
Denzel Washington, Octavia Spencer, Viola Davis, Ruth Negga, Mahershala Ali, and Naomie Harris were nominated for an Oscar.
Birth of Nation was snubbed. Nate Parker's hit movie was scarred by allegations of rape being brought to light.
Hollywood is trying to make strives in diversity. Of course, during the 2014-15 session, #OscarsSoWhite became a lightening rod in the entertainment industry. Many actors of color denounced the awards for not advocating diversity.
Well one face I don't have to look forward to seeing is the aging Black conservative agitator who once was a man's fantasy girl. The political agitator and actress Stacey Dash got fired out the cannon.
Dash, George Will, Cal Thomas and Ed Roĺlins were loaded into a cannon and fired out of it.
The folks over at the Trump supporting Fox News Channel decided that these agitators will not have their contracts renewed. Their services are no longer needed at Fox.
Dash, 50 caused a great deal of controversy during her three years at the network. She had said some foul shit about Jay-Z, Beyonce, former president Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Prince, Jesse Williams, Jada Pinkett Smith and Colin Kaepernick.
She was a huge supporter of the fuhrer.
They hired a white extremist named Nigel Farage as a contributor to the network.
Black Twitter is enjoying every moment of this. They say that karma came a bit this beeyotch in the ass.
Remember former Fox president Roger Ailes said that she was the "black girl"
Dash was best known for being in the movie and television series Clueless. Also had a role in Mo' Money and was a video vixen in Rick Ross, Kanye West and The Game music videos.
Dash is officially a washed up celebrity for those who didn't know. And her politics are like Sarah Palin, tired and played out.
The Jesse Williams speech had touched a nerve. The conservatives are outraged over his fiery speech on how Black Lives are marginalized by the media. He said his passionate speech on BET.
As you know, BET is the network that seems to get the ire of conservatives. The network has mostly Black themed shows and it drives conservatives crazy. One in particular is a former actress turned conservative agitator.
Once again, Stacey Dash comes into the conversation.
She has the audacity to call Williams a "plantation slave".
Now she and many righties are calling for him to fired out the cannon. There's a petition on Change.org to have him fired from Grey's Anatomy, a hit medical drama on ABC.
Dash who is best known for being in the movie and television series Clueless joined Fox News in 2014 to host Outnumbered as a cultural analysis.
"Sorry Mr. Williams. But the fact that you were standing on that stage at those awards tells people you really don't know what (you're) talking about. Just spewing hate and anger", said Dash on her blog.
"Because you, my man, are just like everyone else hustling to get money."
Here's the kicker.
"But your cognitive dissidents has you getting it from THAT BYSTANDER whom YOU DON'T NEED. Yes, BLACK ENTERTAINMENT TELEVISION is WHITE OWNED
Get over yourself and get on with it.
Dash was a fixture on BET. Now a fixture on Fox News, she acts like an idiot.
That chip on the shoulders of people like you will weigh you down and keep you from flying free. But true freedom is never free. You have to know how to fly. If anyone is making you feel this way its you. Living in a psychological prison of your own making. If anyone is GHETTO-IZING anyone, it's people like you letting the BETs and other media outlets portray us in stereotypes.
So here's another thing. The agitator deflects towards Williams race. He is born of an African American father and White mother. She claims that he has no right to speak cause his mother is White.
When conservatives try to deflect from the passionate issues of #BlackLivesMatter, they often bring up gun violence in the Black community.
What's next for Stacey Dash? Maybe the washed up celebrity can be Softball Hannity's fill-in radio host. Maybe she'll have her own show on Fox News.
Hell, maybe she should get her a book deal trashing President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton because she thinks they are assholes who can't say "radical Islam" or act more patriotic like her.
Too late! She already did. She wrote a book. The book "There Goes My Social Life: From Clueless to Conservative". In some of the book, she aims at fellow conservative, transgender activist and former athlete Caitlyn Jenner, for using Donald Trump's restroom without being shunned.
The sky's the limit for a woman whose star faded in the 1990s.
Name one movie besides Clueless, Stacey Dash being featured in.
You can't.
I mean no one wants her anymore now that she's came out the closet a raging conservative.
Or maybe the fact that she's two quarters.
The 50-year old agitator was on Entertainment Tonight giving her two cents on the North Carolina law that bans transgender Americans from using the restroom of their identified gender.
She puts it in one word, "YUCK"!
"It's tyranny by the minority," Dash said. "Why do I have to suffer because you can't decide what you wanna be that day? It's your body! So, it's your decision, right? We all make choices!"
When Nischelle Turner asked Dash on how this affects her life in a way, Dash responded in her condescending fashion.
"Ok, then go [to the bathroom] in the bushes. I don't know what to tell you, but I'm not gonna put my child's life at risk because you want to change a law. So that you can be comfortable with your beliefs which means I have to change my beliefs and my rights? No."
Dash is piece of shit. She needs to flushed down the toilet. Her ass is through and it's a damn shame that this once beautiful actress is now an old fart who cashes in on her celebrity.
Medical doctor who acted a fool while riding with Uber got fired out the cannon.
Worldwide condemnation came full circle today. The 28-year old 5' foot 100 lbs. medical doctor from Miami, Florida got fired out the cannon after she embarrassed herself and her hospital. Anjali Ramkissoon was placed in the freezer after a video surfaced showing her acting a fool towards an Uber driver.
The now famous video shows Ramkissoon hopping into an Uber driver's vehicle. The driver told her that she wasn't his pickup. The woman highly intoxicated went on a furious rampage.
She would knee him in the family jewels. He would push her to the ground. She quickly got up and hopped into the ride. Ramkissoon would eventually get the man's keys, phone and flyers.
She would literally destroy everything in his car before exiting and heading down the road.
The law was dispatched to the location. The person who was the actual rider filmed it and shared it online.
Pretty stupid. Doctor's social media antics cost her job.
It went through 6.5 million hits.
It lead to Ramkissoon giving an apology and reimbursement to the driver.
But the damage was done. She was widely condemned by the public for being a classless jerk. A privileged spoiled brat. She would get death threats and ridicule online.
Ramkissoon had shut down her social media. Uber terminated her contract for LIFE.
Now she won't be working Jackson Health Systems. She will have the right to appeal the decision.
The most infamous thing said by Ramkissoon was what led to her cannon firing.
So far she announced that she is in treatment for alcohol addiction and is hoping that the ugly memory of this event is put behind her.
No disrespect to Chris Rock, I choose to not watch the 88th Academy Awards show. I am not interested in that stuff. I don't find no interest in watching entertainers show off their dresses, their new relationships, their new baby bumps or the social media buzzing about what happened.
I tend to be very reclusive when it comes to the social media and what people do. I get jealous of people bragging about their successes. Hollywood is a part of that.
Many others who struggle to get acting roles are often shunned because of their race, gender, sexuality, religion, nationality, political and disability. Some say it's the talent that judges you!
But given that some of the most critically acclaimed movies being shunned, I figured that I wouldn't watch this regardless. Even if a Black comic who addresses racial issues hosted it, I find no interest in awards shows. I just going to summarize it and give an honest take to what happened.
The country's most notorious racial agitator splashed this on his conservative Criagslist today.
Chris Rock's performance at the Academy Awards was good. I mean it was brutally honest. It opened up a discussion to why no person of color being nominated for an Oscar for a second time in a row.
The comedian's monologue and skits were so funny and yes really straight to the point.
The junk food media was talking about it all morning. They were picking apart every skit. They had praised Rock for being upfront about the Academy Awards being inclusive.
He took on #OscarsSoWhite.
He took jabs at fellow comedians such as Kevin Hart.
He took jabs at Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. The Smiths were boycotting the event after Jada took to the internet to protest the nomination. She and Spike Lee became the most visible faces of the #OscarsSoWhite controversy.
Leonardo DiCaprio won an Academy Award for the first time.
"What happened this year? People went nuts. Spike [Lee] got mad. Jada went mad. Will [Smith] went mad. Everyone went mad!" Rock said about all the celebs wanting to protest the Oscars. "Jada said she's not coming. I was like, ‘isn't she on TV show?' Jada's gonna boycott the Oscars? Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna's panties. I wasn't invited!"
People gasped and laughed at the joke. But when Rock when back to monologue, he sympathizes with Jada and Spike Lee's grievance.
"Her man Will was not nominated for Concussion. I get it. You get mad. It's not fair that Will was this good and didn't get nominated. You're right," he said. "It's also not fair that Will was paid $20 million for Wild Wild West!"
Chris opened his monologue with a jab at the montage that played at the beginning of the show, featuring all the movies the Academy is celebrating during the show.
"I counted at least 15 black people in that montage!" he laughed. "Well, I'm here at the Academy Awards, otherwise known as the White Peoples Choice Awards."
"You realize if they nominated hosts, I wouldn't even get this job. Y'all be watching Neil Patrick Harris right now….I thought about quitting. I thought about it real hard. But I realized, they're going to have the Oscars anyway. They're not going to cancel the Oscars because I quit," Rock reasoned. "And the last thing I need is to lose another job to Kevin Hart!"
Rock was also quick to point out that a lack of diversity among nominees has always been a problem, long before this year's Oscars.
"Why this Oscars? It's the 88th Academy Awards, which means this whole 'no black nominee' has happened like 71 other times. You gotta figure it happened in the ‘50s, in the ‘60s...and black people didn't protest. You know why? Because black people had real things to protest at the time. Too busy being raped and lynched to care about who won Best Cinematographer. You know, when your grandmother is swinging from a tree, it's hard to care about Best Documentary Foreign Short."
"This year, things are going to be a little different at the Oscars," he promised. "This year in the In Memoriam package, it's just going to be black people who were shot by the cops on their way to the movies."
He also had a pretty easy solution for getting more nominations for black actors.
"If you want black people every year at the Oscars, just have black categories, like 'Best Black Friend.' And the winner for the 18th year in a row is Wanda Sykes!" Rock quipped, before finally turning serious. "What I'm trying to say is, it's not about boycotting. We want opportunity. We want the black actors to get the same opportunities as white actors. That's it! Not just once."
Chris Rock brought on Girl Scouts to sell cookies to some of the entertainers. That drew high the biggest applause of the night.
Well I heard that Leonard DeCaprio finally got his Oscar for the performance in The Reverent. From the days of being a teen actor, Leo has dreamed that day would come. He was nominated over five times and never earned an Oscar for them. Today, he is finally an award winner.
Leo's is a devoted environmentalist who believes that the time is now to get things done about climate change. And yes, he devoted his Oscar to those who struggled for this opportunity.
Vice President Joe Biden was there in attendance. He had an opportunity to introduce Grammy award winning/Oscar nominated singer/actress Lady Gaga.
Vice President Joe Biden gives message to America about sexual abuse.
Biden was pressing the audience to address sexual abuse on college campuses. This was a prime issue among the vice president and President Barack Obama.
“Despite significant progress over the last few years, too many woman and men on and off college campuses are still victims of sexual abuse,” the Veep told industry power players and the tens of millions watching on TV. “Tonight, I’m asking you to join millions of Americans including me, President Obama, the thousands of students I’ve met on college campuses and the artists here tonight to take the pledge.”
“The pledge says I will intervene in situations where consent has not or can not be given,” Biden said. “Let’s change the culture, we must and we can change the culture.”
Lady Gaga’s performance of the performance of Best Original Song nominee “Til It Happens To You” from the documentary The Hunting Ground.
Whoopi Goldberg was mistaken for Oprah Winfrey by Total Beauty.
She performed the song with victims of sexual and child abuse.
Total Beauty did the digital dash. Of course, they couldn't tell the difference between Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey.
Goldberg is an Oscar award winning actress who is the host of The View. The beauty brand company noticed that Whoopi is heavily tattooed. They expressed surprise that the person who they thought was in the photo, talk show host and actress Oprah Winfrey, had tattoos.
They said: “We had no idea @Oprah was #tatted and we love it.”
Social media went brutal on Total Beauty. The Independent reports that the hashtag “ThatsNotOprah” quickly went viral.
The mix-up prompted anger and frustration on twitter, with one user saying: “Are you fucking kidding me?!? The ONE black woman at the #Oscars and you fuck it up.”
Many people also took to social media to jokingly post pictures of white actors and deliberately name them incorrectly.
Total Beauty quickly went to social media to apologize for the error.
We’d like to apologize to Oprah and Whoopi, as well as everyone we’ve offended. It was our error, and there are no excuses. We’re sorry.
Goldberg will likely address this controversy on The View as well as her former friend who turned into a conservative agitator.
Washed up actress Stacey Dash puts her two cents into the Chris Rock performance. The actress who is also political commentator came onto stage shocking many in the audience. People didn't even recognize her. She was a part of the Rock skit for "minority outreach".
"I cannot wait to help my people out," Dash announced to a baffled audience. "Happy Black History Month!"
The reaction, both in the live audience where even Oscar nominated/Grammy award winning singer The Weeknd was like "What the fuck!"
While many panned her for even showing up, Dash basically laughed it off. "When they added ME to increase the diversity, I'm sure many Black people rolled their eyes. I'm not 'Black enough', they say. But guess what? I've heard that all my life. I would rather be a free thinking Black than a cookie cutter Black who thinks and votes---just like all my friends".
Well here's a clue for the "Clueless". Dash, you're the cookie cutter and you're baked!
Anyway when the Nielsen ratings come out, we'll find out if the viewership is high or low!
ABC's comedy black-ish takes on police brutality and #BlackLivesMatter
Anthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross star in the hit comedy black-ish. The show deals with a Black father who trying to bring his suburbanite children into the Black experience.
Tonight's episode is taking on police brutality, racial profiling and #BlackLivesMatter.
I'm giving my honest opinion of the episode and revealing spoilers.
Andre (Anderson) and Rainbow (Tracee Ellis Ross) explain the experience of being profiled by law enforcement to their four children. Dre, Pops (played by Laurence Fishburne) and Ruby (played by Jennifer Lewis) are trying to let the children know that justice system failed Black America.
Jack and Diane (played by Miles Brown and Marsai Martin) are concerned about how they're probably going to be killed by the police.
They get into a huge argument into Bow's feelings towards police.
They become preppers for a pending riot after a grand jury decided to not indict an officer who shot and killed an unarmed Black citizen. They get into an argument over the negative press coverage of the unarmed Black citizen. They also noted the feeling when Black America felt that electing Barack Obama was the beginning of a new era in race relations. Dre explains that even with a Black president, things aren't getting any better.
Dre explains to Bow when he sees Obama's opponents treat less than his title as President of the United States, he sees racism at its worst.
There was a fight between Zoey (played by Yara Shahidi) and Andre, Jr. (played by Marcus Scribner). Junior wanted to join the protesters and Zoey warned him to not go because the rioters could end up hurting him.
Dre explains the "gray zone" between what's good and what's bad in the country. Dre and Bow believe that there's a need for change and even though they don't agree on everything, they have hope and strength to change policy.
The characters make reference to the most recent deadly encounters of unarmed Black citizens.
Don Lemon of CNN and Black activist Ta-Nehisi Coates were featured guests on the show.
It's a controversial episode and it's certainly going to attract conservative outrage and reaction from police unions. Some of the police unions threaten boycotting entertainers who criticize law enforcement.
Anderson along with his executive producers Kenya Burris and Yvette Lee Bower are expecting a backlash from conservatives and police unions.
The creator and star of the hit ABC comedy black-ish went there. Anthony Anderson is the star, co-executive producer of the Kenya Burris show about a Black upscale father trying to get his suburbanite children hip to the "Black experience".
Anderson took a shot at his former friend in the entertainment industry after she made some stupid ass comments last month. And the actress clapped back at him.
Washed up actress and political agitator Stacey Dash once again stirred the pot of shit and cause another controversy.
There's a movie that's going to have a White actor play the role of Michael Jackson, sparking outrage among entertainment industry. British actor Joseph Fiennes. The movie (Elizabeth, Michael & Marlon) is facing harsh scrutiny.
Dash on the other hand, applauded the notion of a White guy playing the iconic pop star. By the way, Michael Jackson is Black and he's always identified himself as such. Although his antics were much tabloid sensation, Michael had a legacy and people respected it. Some will always judge him as a molester of children and a wack-a-doodle.
But his own children will judge him as a great father and a humanitarian to the world.
Most of Black America views Stacey Dash as "clueless".
Anderson had enough of Dash acting "clueless". So at the NAACP Image Awards, Anderson clapped at her. “Everybody give a round of applause for Stacey Dash,” the host joked on Friday. “What the hell is she doing? Doesn't she know that the Fox network is using her? She's just an Ann Coulter dipped in butterscotch.”
“Baby, don't let 'em use you,” he continued. “Come back to the black people and get back to work on some of those beautiful C-movies that you used to do!”
Anderson also made several pointed jokes about the diversity in the audience, a not-so-thinly veiled reference to the #OscarsSoWhite controversy.
“Look at all of these beautiful shades of people in the audience. Hollywood needs to know that this is what diversity is supposed to look like,” he said during his opening monologue. “I love seeing all these faces; black people working.”
“Everybody keeps saying it’s a comeback,” he added. “But hell, don't call it a comeback — we've been here for years.”
He also addressed Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, who made waves when they announced a boycott of the Oscars.
“Will and Jada are in the audience tonight,” Anderson quipped. “Hell, they better be here after all this ish they started.”
As for Dash, she shot back at Anderson on Twitter on Friday night, saying, “Well it’s funny how woman who weighs 105 wet! Can get grown a– men to act like llittle girls! Haha.”
Well it's funny how woman who weighs 105 wet!
Can get grown ass men to act like llittle girls! Haha
Actor Nate Parker directs and produces a movie based on the life of rebellion leader Nat Turner. The Birth of A Nation is coming to theaters and it's already getting praise. Given the situation surrounding the Oscars and the lack of diversity in the entertainment industry, many see this movie as a perfect timing.
The movie was not inspired by the KKK-theme movie produced by D.W. Griffith.
Parker who plays the role of slave-turned Baptist leader Nat Turner. Turner lead a revolt across Virginia killing White slave owners and led many slaves to the North. The Southampton revolt (known as the Nat Turner Rebellion) in August 1831. Led by Nat Turner, rebel slaves killed anywhere from 55 to 65 people, the highest number of fatalities caused by any slave uprising in the Southern United States. The rebellion was put down within a few days, but Turner survived in hiding for more than two months afterwards. The rebellion was effectively suppressed at Belmont Plantation on the morning of August 23, 1831.
There was widespread fear in the aftermath of the rebellion, and White militias organized in retaliation against the slaves. The state executed 56 slaves accused of being part of the rebellion. In the frenzy, many non-participant slaves were punished. At least 100 African Americans, and possibly up to 200, were murdered by militias and mobs in the area. Across the South, state legislatures passed new laws prohibiting education of slaves and free black people, restricting rights of assembly and other civil rights for free black people, and requiring white ministers to be present at all worship services.
Turner eluded capture by hiding in the woods until October 30, when he was discovered by a farmer named Benjamin Phipps, where he was hiding in a hole covered with fence rails. While awaiting his trial, Turner confessed his knowledge of the rebellion to attorney Thomas Ruffin Gray.
Nate Parker plays the role of Nat Turner, the rebellion leader of the Southampton massacre.
On November 5, 1831, he was tried for "conspiring to rebel and making insurrection", convicted and sentenced to death. Turner was hanged on November 11 in Jerusalem, Virginia. His body was flayed, beheaded and quartered. Turner received no formal burial; his headless remains were either buried unmarked or kept for scientific use. His skull is said to have passed through many hands, last being reported in the collection of a planned civil rights museum for Gary, Indiana, despite calls for its burial.
In the aftermath of the insurrection there were 45 slaves, including Turner, and five free blacks tried for insurrection and related crimes in Southampton. Of the 45 slaves tried, 15 were acquitted. Of the 30 convicted, 18 were hanged, while 12 were sold out of state. Of the five free blacks tried for participation in the insurrection, one was hanged, while the others were acquitted.
Soon after Turner's execution, Thomas Ruffin Gray took it upon himself to publish The Confessions of Nat Turner, derived partly from research done while Turner was in hiding and partly from jailhouse conversations with Turner before trial. This work is considered the primary historical document regarding Nat Turner.
The film The Birth of a Nation will be released to select theaters. The 2016 film uses the same title as "the title of D.W. Griffith's 1915 KKK propaganda film in a very purposeful way", said The Hollywood Reporter. Nate Parker said his film had the same title "ironically, but very much by design".
It's gotten praise for the graphic and historical take on Turner's rebellion. It is written, produced, and directed by Nate Parker, who also stars as Nat Turner. Parker wrote the screenplay and petitioned financiers to invest in the film. It ultimately had a $10 million production budget and was filmed in the U.S. state of Georgia in May 2015. Along with Parker, the film features Armie Hammer, Aja Naomi King, Jackie Earle Haley, Penelope Ann Miller, and Gabrielle Union.
The film premiered in competition at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival on January 25, 2016. Fox Searchlight Pictures bought worldwide rights to the film in a $17.5 million deal, the largest deal at the film festival to date.
Cable network strikes back at washed up celebrity Stacey Dash
Stacey Dash getting hammered by Black entertainers. The washed up actress who appeared on that right wing network to blast a cable network that caters to Black culture.
BET got a taste of the venom Dash delivered a week ago. She went on that right wing network to say that Black America should eliminate Black History Month, BET and the NAACP Image Awards.
Dash believes that these awards are solely handed to Black entertainers and not White ones.
Of course, she got that wrong. BET fired back at her for that one. They even said that she's one to talk. Her ass appeared on the BET comedy-drama The Game.
BET devoted Jams to her. They played every video of her with the hashtag #NeverForget,
Videos that featured Stacey Dash included Memphis rapper MJG "That Girl", Carl Thomas' "Emotional", Kanye West's "All Falls Down", and Rick Ross' "Super High".
I am guessing BET is playing "Moving", "Mo Money", "Clueless" and Renaissance Man. These were movies Dash appeared in.
Rick Ross and Stacey Dash on the set of his music video.
Dash got slammed by her cousin Dame Dash, the former CEO of Roc-A-Fella Records. He says his cousin is doing "world class coonary"
She blasted Jada Pinkett Smith and Spike Lee for boycotting the Oscars after they failed to nominate Black entertainers. Jada's husband Will Smith was snubbed in his role in Concussion.
Many agitators in the junk food media claim that Jada and Will's Overbrook Entertainment doesn't do enough for the Black community. They claim that now "they want to take action after it affects them".
For the record, Jada and Will have donated $$$$$$$$$$$ to charity and invested in working in the communities they've grown up in. Will grew up in Philadelphia and Jada grew up in Baltimore.
As usual the concern troll nonsense that drives attention from reality. Out of 2,900 awards being handed out, only 31 Black winners of the Academy Awards.
That's a real problem that needs to be solved.
Now that it's gotten attention, many of the detractors are working overtime to discredit #OscarsSoWhite and #BlackLivesMatter.
Dash lit up a shit storm from many in the Black community.
Out of the freezer after a two week thaw, washed up actress turned political agitator Stacey Dash once again appears on the right wing network to throw shade on Black America.
She turns 49 this week. And for her birthday, she wants Black America to stop whining about grievances.
Dash is a commentator on Outnumbered.
On the right wing network Dash went on to slam Jada Pinkett Smith and Spike Lee for advocating a boycott on the Oscars.
"I think it’s ludicrous. 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 [NAACP] 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 […] Just like there shouldn't be a Black History Month. We're American, that's it."
Once a Democrat, Dash found love with a perennial loser by the name of Mitt Romney.
She faced some major heat from her fans when she announced she coming out as a proud Republican.
BET fired back at her. They posted on their official social media pages slamming the washed up actress for being like I've said, "Clueless".
BET then responded with the below tweet, writing, “Soooooo @REALStaceyDash can we get our check back… or nah? #Remember #YouWereOnTheGame #AndWeDontMeanTheRapper.”
Aww dang. I loved you in "Clueless". I had no idea that you actually were. https://t.co/b1FozElKYg
Out of the gutter comes Stacey Dash. Her mouth once again popped off. It got her bosses over at the right wing network pissed. She got freezer burn for cursing on the air.
Retired U.S. army colonial Ralph Peters getting freezer burn for calling President Barack Obama a pussy. He was pulled after the taping. Now here comes washed up actress and conservative agitator Stacey Dash. She found herself in the same spot because of the shit coming out her mouth.
The actress best known for being "Clueless" once again takes it a bit too far.
In regards to the president's Sunday night speech, Dash went bananas.
"It’s ridiculous," she said on Outnumbered. "His speech was an epic fail. It was like when you have to go to dinner with your parents, but you have a party to go to afterwards, that’s what it felt like."
"I did not feel any better. I didn’t feel any passion from him…" she continued. "I felt like he could give a shit– excuse me, like he could care less." The right wing network's censors were on point, however, and only the first part of the swear word made it on air.
Dash continued the tirade. "[Obama] could care less. And here we have 14 people dead. Today is the anniversary of Pearl Harbor, okay? His speech should have had a lot more passion. Where is Winston Churchill when we need him, is all I have to say. We are at war. He should have said that. The fact that he said terrorism, we're all excited that he said terrorism. Big deal. What is that going to do?
Nothing."
I mean if this was the line that was crossed, I could imagine how far she'll go before she gets fired out the cannon.
Her freezer burn came swiftly. Bill Shine, the managing executive for the right wing network said that the words uttered by Dash and Peters were "totally out of line".
If this was "totally out of line", I wonder what else is said when the cameras are off!
Retired U.S. army colonial Ralph Peters got freezer burn after he went on that right wing business network to call President Barack Obama a vulgar woman's body party.
Let's put it in layman's terms: He called the president a pussy!
Stuart Varney of "Varney & Co." asked about Obama's Sunday night address on terrorism, Peters melted down.
"Well, first of all, he keeps speaking about 'we can't give into our fears.' You know, 'don't be afraid.' Look, Mr. President, we're not afraid. We're angry. We're pissed off. We're furious. We want to see you react. We want you to do something," Peters' tirade began.
"You're afraid. I mean, this guy is such a total pussy, it's stunning," Peters exploded.
"We the people, the American people, who he does not know in any intimate sort of manner. We want action. We want action against Islamic State and then when the president is telling us he is going to destroy ISIS," he continued.
"This is a president who has done more harm to American police departments than he has done to Islamic State. This is a president who restrains our military. He uses it not to defeat ISIS, but for political purposes for political cover. This is a president who doesn't want to hurt our enemies, this is a president who cares more about thugs in Guantanamo or thugs in Ferguson, Missouri, than he does about law-abiding American citizens and their right to live in safety and peace."
As the smoke cleared, Varney, who could tell Peters was "super angry," scolded his guest for using such vulgar language.
Peters apologized and Varney tried to move on. He then asked Peters if there was "anything" in the president's speech that could contribute to defeating ISIS.
"No," Peters began, "with The New York Times, he's convinced the problem is gun control -- that's what we've got to fix. And the problem is Islamic terror. Now certainly, Stuart, we could use more intelligent approaches to keeping guns out of the hands of psychotics -- the Founding Fathers did not intend for every drunk psycho to have a machine gun collection. But law-abiding Americans owning guns is not the problem here. The problem is Islamist terrorism, and the president will not even say Islamist terrorism."
Varney stopped Peters' rant again. He said Peters had used "some very strong language" about the president of the United States and that he had to ask Peters to either apologize for what he said or retract his statement.
"I apologize. I apologize," Peters said.
Trying once again to get the interview back on track, Varney asked Peters what he would have liked Obama to say during his address.
"I'm not interested in what he says anymore," Peters said. "I want him to do. I want him to act. I want him to take on Islamic State. I want him to unleash our military. And yes, Stuart, I do apologize for giving in to my anger, but I feel like you know the American people understand where I'm coming from on this. My choice of words was incorrect, but my sentiment, I think, is shared by many."
Varney then concluded the interview with a gentle admonishing of Peters.
"Calm down, lad. Calm down," Varney said.
