Chris Rock was talking about how the Academy is “taking steps” to solve the “Oscars So White” controversy and he said they had found the perfect person to be the Director of the Minority Outreach Program … Stacey Dash! They were obviously making fun of the time she went on Fox & Friends and said there was no diversity issue at the Oscars and that they should actually get rid of things like Black History Month. But it went terribly, terribly, wrong.
