Yet again, Stacey Dash is in the hot seat. This time, she has been suspended from Fox News for two weeks for using profanity towards President Obama. While on air, Dash exclaimed that the President "could give a sh*t" about the fight against terrorism. Of course, Black Twitter had a few choice words for this long time fire starter.

Stacey Dash, best known for her role in Clueless, is an actress turned political pundit that contributes as a  talking head on Fox News. In her commentary following President Obama's address on terrorism this week, Dash exclaimed that the president had no vested interest in combating ISIS.
This statement is part of a running list of offensive comments that come from Stacey Dash in her efforts to get shock value and drive ratings. This time, she took the joke too far and got reprimanded.

Black Twitter was never here for Stacey Dash.

Soon after the Fox announced that Stacey, along with fellow commentator Ralph Peters were suspended, Black Twitter erupted. For quite some time, the general consensus among the African American online community is that Stacey Dash is not to be trusted. Earlier this year, Black Twitter even launched a petition to vote her out of the racial group. Among the first to react to Stacey's faux pas was actress Vivica A. Fox who rejoiced at Dashs' misfortune with the following tweets.

Stacey Dash joins the running list of controversial TV personalities who have been kicked to the margins of African American racial identity or stripped of their "Black Card." Namely, Raven Symone for her never ending offensive comments on The View and as previously reported by MStars, Don Lemon and his controversial statements on CNN.

The issue with these three is not that they are neglecting a "Black political agenda" or anything. The issue is that their flippant remarks neglect the shared Black experience, which makes their statements more offensive than if coming from a non-Black person.
