Comedian John Fugelsang wasn’t so funny Wednesday when he used Twitter to declare outspoken-conservative Stacey Dash had deserted her blackness.
Dash has been taking heat for blasting the ‘white’ Oscar controversy. She used her time on Fox News to debunk a proposed Oscar boycott, and said that to truly end segregation, we need to get rid of BET and Black History Month.
That independent thought didn’t sit well with Fugelsang who took to Twitter to say Dash had “abandoned” her melanin.
Just because Stacey Dash abandoned melanin doesn’t mean the rest of us need to abandon Black History Month.

What a way to get passed that whole racial thing, right?
Folks on Twitter, many of them black, were quick to take the white actor/comedian to task:

@GayPatriot still processing the “abandoned melanin” phrase

The fact that you can’t process such an ignorant, arrogant, racist statement says you’re probably on the right side of this controversy. (Pun intended.)
@EnemyWithinn @JohnFugelsang He really believes that the amount of melanin should control one’s thoughts. Because, he’s a racist idot.

@lghcox @Bikeric01 actually it was the GOP who not only helped free the slaves but signed the civil rights act. https://t.co/7ZujGq8y8x

@JohnFugelsang Wherein the White, male, Lefty disses the “authenticity” of a black women, defines her “place” for her.

You snobby white boys always think you get a free ticket with being racist against those of us who dont agree w.you @JohnFugelsang

@JohnFugelsang You can’t “abandon melanin.” You can, however, abandon political positions. People like you tend to confuse those two. #tcot

@JohnFugelsang yes, do tell Ms dash what she is permitted to believe and say as a black woman. That’s some #warOnWomen

Ever heard of a white person accused of abandoning their skin pigmentation for disagreeing with other white people? @JohnFugelsang
— Daniel (@ddwalk34) January 20, 2016
Never. But white people are accused of racism if they don’t tow the modern-day regressive Liberal line. Ironic, isn’t it?
