I initially felt like brushing aside the ignorant comments FOX analyst Stacey Dash made by merely attaching the label “house Negro” to her. Then I realized the crucial role some house Negroes played in relaying information to the underground railroad which invariably gave thousands a sense of relief if not total freedom.
With dignity and silence many house Negros assumed the role of stupid transparent savage as their oppressors discussed events and important matters in their presence without a thought they were unwittingly offering up valuable information which aided the cause of the oppressed.
It would be a tragedy and indeed a travesty to allow mental indolence to cause me to throw Stacey Dash into this group without making that distinction for the purpose of context going into perpetuity.
For some time Dash has made a name for herself by saying outrageous things about African-Americans and African-American causes. Since being on Fox, Dash a Republican has gone after people of her own race with a vengeance, criticizing and castigating everyone from the President of the United States to Jay‑Z and Beyonce and everyone in between.
During the last Presidential Election cycle, Dash an on again-off-again actress , mostly off-again, made a litany of ludricious claims about President Obama as she endorsed Mitt Romney and hammed it up on the FOX network. She even posed in a red bathing suit beside the American flag in an Ad for the Romney campaign.
This cycle Stacey Dash is at it again berating everyone in the black community . President Obama is not on the ballot so she lambaste the Black Entertainment Television network the NAACP and everyone else within the reach of her bird brain.
“I think it’s ludicrous we have to make up our minds either we want to have segregation or integration,” Dash said on Fox and Friends. “If we don’t want segregation then we need to get rid of channels like BET and the BET Awards and the [NCAAP] Image Awards where you’re only awarded if you’re black. If it were the other way around, we’d be up in arms.”
What’s ludicrous is that Dash as always overly anxious to bad-mouth the Black community didn’t bother to check whether the talking points they feed her are actually true before she parrots them. Not sure whether it would have mattered in her haste to please massa.
For the record deserving white actors do get recognized by the NAACP despite Dash’s uninformed claims. These includes but not confined to Bryce Dallas Howard, Angelina Jolie, Justin Timberlake. Sandra Bullock, Emma Stone and others have a recieved nominations. Additionally people of color other than blacks have also been nominated these includes Archie Panjabi from The Good Wife and Mindy Kaling from The Mindy Project — were nominated for acting awards, alongside Latina Modern Family star Sofia Vergara.
FOX has no interest in truth , it is the mouth-piece of the Fascist, Racist, Xenophobic, Islamaphobic Political Right. What better way to disparage the Black community than have a Black body doing it?

Personally I understand that a girl has gotta eat but at what point you say “No” I can’t do this I’d rather starve. It must require a great deal of self loathing on the part of Dash for her to be able to spend the thirty pieces of silver they pay her to denigrate herself and her race.
Which leaves me to wonder about her intellect and mindset. Even Judas Iscariot hanged himself, I do not expect Stacey Dash to have any such pang of conscience or conviction but I still wonder how she looks at herself in the mirror?My personal belief has always been that no race or individual should expect others to do for them what they ought to do for themselves. I fundamentally believe the best way to negate and render inequality and injustice inconsequential and obsolete is to fix ourselves and excel .

We do that by being educated , starting and supporting black businesses, saving some of what we earn, staying out of prison, building our communities, being parents to our children, and supporting our own Organizations in addition to other self empowering steps.
Then and only then will those who seek to shut us out come running , begging to have some of what we have, asking to be included.
You simply cannot beg for integration and acceptance. You separate yourself and build your own institutions.
A concept no one expect Dash etal to understand.The fact is that the BET Awards , and the NAACP image awards do recognize and award actors of different ethnicity. They were designed to counter the lack of diversity within the so-called main stream process which we are still talking about to this day as devoid of diversity.
Stacey Dash’s ignorant self loathing views are in no way confined to her alone, that brand of idiocy transcend the media or the arts . Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas, Presidential candidates past and present Herman Caine and Ben Carson, are some of the more prominent self-hating Blacks in a long line of Uncle Tom house Negros who have climbed on the shoulders of those who stood for change then kick the very people on whose shoulders they climbed in their effort to cozy up to the people who kept them down in the first place.So when I think of house Negroes and I am tempted to lump them all together I spend a little time to thing it through . Stacey Dash and others are free to eat the scraps from Massa’s table, serve the food and feel the pain when Massa sick , but I’m comforted that not all who work in the big house are self-loathing sell-outs, some have done yeoman’s work for the cause.
