It wasnāt ābizarreā, it was stupid. That she was the butt of the joke and somehow didnāt ārealizeā it makes it sad and Ms. Dash clueless.

She has no clue she was the joke - not even the butt of the joke, the actual joke. Was this cruel? Yes. Do I feel sorry for her? Absolutely not.

This stunt just confirmed the usual freak show of the yearly Oscar scam.

I would rather be a free thinking, black [sic] than a cookie cutter black who thinks ā and votes ā just like all my friends"
Screw āfree thinkingā if it only spawns cookie cutter idiots just like all those of her friends on FOX.

Iām glad she cleared it up for usā¦
instead of thinking, analyzing and making decisions that might actually be fact based she apparently just looks at polls and justifies her opinion based on being against the majority of the her minority?

I think she managed to insult just about every Black person in the USA with that last quote. And just how does FOX diversify itself by adding āmore of the sameā but in Black skin? Listen, if I own a French restaurant and want to diversify so I hire a Mexican Chefā¦but all he cooks is French foodā¦thatās not outreach to Mexicans in Paris.

Hello everyone. My name is Stacy Dash, and Iām so f*cking dumb that I donāt realize that I am willfully participating in being the butt of a Chris Rock joke.

I had the same thoughts. But after the first shot I changed my mind.
I didnāt get the joke either until just now when it was explained to me in this article. Didnāt know who Dash was last night. Thought she was a Whitney Houston imitator but she didnāt sing. Looks like the joke was on her and Faux News.
Letās hope the panel on Morning Joe can shed some light on how she was made a victim somehow by all those other black people who were not nominated last night.
I donāt know who the director of last nightās Oscars was but they sure had a keen sense of humor. It was the most awkward yet entertaining Oscar evening in memory.
Loved Gagaās performance and applauded not having to hear all the songs nominated that probably shouldnāt have been. The whole show had the feel of an āIn Living Colorā spoof. All the winners stepped up to the plate, too, by adding pleas for sanity on a number of conservative issues. .

I didnāt watch but tuned in right as DiCaprio was accepting his award. He was terrific.
How did Chris Rock do?

Iām sure the international audience appreciated it a lot more than the Trump crowd.
btw, I read on Political this morning that Bill Clinton was busy meeting with black leaders in Miami getting ready for the primaries. I assume heās doing the same with Cuban Americans there and black and Hispanic leaders across the country.
Thatās one thing about Hillary and her gift for organization. She never leaves any stone unturned and uses her best resources where they will do the most good.

I think Rock handled what was going to be a really tough assignment with all the grace it deserved. He apparently decided t just plow knee deep into the controversy and worked the jokes for all they were worth. It almost came off as his Jackie Robinson moment.
I loved how they drug out every old black entertainer in Hollywood and teamed them up with whatever younger black entertainer they could find. When they got desperate to break up the typical tedium of the show, they just let Chris interview black people on the street. I think it mostly worked.
Do you think they would have asked a white entertainer to do this? No, the heavy lifting is always given to the minority performer. They are always the first to die in a movie and the last to get the girl.

I have her all figured out. There are people far more caucasoid (like Charles Waddell Chesnutt, Walter White, Plessy of āPlessy versus Fergusonā fame) than la triguena Stacy Dashā¦
And even in Latino cultures (which have a far more elastic and āinclusiveā definition of āwhiteā)ā¦
Baby, YOU AINāT WHITE.
Maybe in the next reincarnation.
I thought it was a great joke ā I actually canāt believe she agreed to appear, since it was as much a joke on her as it was on the Academy. I canāt understand the supposed confusion about this joke ā it was a spot-on critique of the old guard at the Academy.

He did fine as a host, Whoopi Goldberg was pretty funny when they gave her a chance, but hereās what Rock did. On behalf of his two daughters who are Girl Scouts he arranged for a bunch of LA area Girl Scouts to walk through the audience selling boxes of cookies and made $6,500.00 You could see people munching on them later when it was late and they were obviously hungry. The Dash walk on was very bizarre, but my favorite film won best Oscar, Spotlight.
Oh yes, props to the black man on the street segment. It wasnāt scripted and he had some fun with people and comments on movies.
