Actress Stacey Dash, best-known for her appearance in the film “Clueless,” is having her core ripped over her recent endorsement of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. After mentioning her support for Romney on Twitter, fans went ballistic on Dash, calling her every name in the book.
“Vote for Romney. The only choice for your future,” Dash tweeted.
That”s when the hounds came after her for expressing her opinion.
“You’re an unemployed black woman endorsing @MittRomney. You’re voting against yourself thrice. You poor beautiful idiot,” said one of her respondents.
Dash didn’t back down, but kind of did. When you’re a celebrity depending on black people to support you, you pretty much have to do what they tell you to do.

Yes, she has a right to her opinion, just like (when she puts her opinions out for public view) the public has a right to criticize her. If you don’t want to be criticize, don’t put your views on the internet. It’s that simple. What the Stacy Dashes (and Whoopi Goldbergs – who started to vote for Romney) don’t get is that the backlash they’re getting from a lot of blacks is based in fear. Think about it. If ObamaCare and the Affordable Care act is repealed (something Romney promised to do), Stacy (and Whoppi) might go into debt if they have to pay 100,000 dollars for a major health issue (such as cancer), but the average person could be set out into the street if that same care only cost them 10,000. I’m speaking from known experiences. If Americans have to work at lower wages, due to a loss of union jobs to protect them or if Americans lost their jobs from their jobs being sent overseas, how does that affect Stacy? It doesn’t. If a person loses his job and is no longer entitle to foodstamp or unemployment benefits (both the Republicans tried to cut), how long will they last. How much money does Stacy Dash make. If she loses her job, how long will she last? I bet she would last a lot longer than the average person. And let’s not go into Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security. People like Stacy Dash or Whoopi may never even need such services from the govenment. This is why they can support Romney. They have less to lose. They can’t relate. Many Americans, RIGHT NOW, have one foot in the street and fear that if the Republicans get elected, there goes the other foot. Stacy’s life is different. Like Romney, She’s out of touch. That’s all. She can vote for whomever she wants, but for her to be shocked at the fact that blacks are angry at her, shows a lack of understanding of the average black persons plight. And to that degree, she IS clueless.

Face the facts.There will ALWAYS be “House N*ggas” no matter what the majority of us do.Some people preferred to stay with “massa” even after they were freed.Ms Dash is one of them.

negroids, cacaucoids,some idiots post the most idiotic words.
It’s her choice, her vote. I don’t agree with her choice, but it is her choice.
Probably just a publicity stunt anyway.
not with the herd

How dare any of you judge her for speaking her mind. If she is black she has to follow everyone else like timid sheep? You’re tolerant of others as long as they agree with you? That’s what Martin Luther King sacrificed his life for? YOU are ignorant and YOU are clueless for passing judgement when you don’t have the right to! The white folks that dare to comment; You respond when we jingle your chain. Otherwise keep your nose out of it! You REALLY don’t know what the h**l you’re talking about!

Facts, people:
1- FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
2- FREEDOM OF OPINION.
It means that other blacks should keep their opinion to themselves. You cannot choose for this lady! Leave her alone!

Dr. Boyce: I don’t think you should compare yourself to an airhead like Stacey Dash. I am not one of these black folks who has a bone to pick with you about criticism of Pres. Obama. I respect your opinions and views on/and about him. I consider myself to be a levelheaded Obama supporter. You have to ignore what your black critics have to say about your analyses that are not pro him all the time. It has been a tough process of dealing with a Black President for the first time. We black folks have our learning curve to develop in this. It is a process rather than a heroic event.

Wow! I’ve never seen more racism and bigot comments on one website. This place is 5 times worse than youtube. It’s becoming quite clear who makes the majority of racist/bigots in this country.
Truth be spoken

Were the millions of whites who voted for Obama in 2008 also selling out their own kind or, perhaps, voting for someone who they thought could move the country forward. And for some who voted for him, HE HASN’T PERFORMED!!!
And in the past, if whites voted for a white & not a black just because of his/her color, wouldn’t they rightly be accused of racism by many of the commenters on this blog… So, in the same vein, wouldn’t those who vote for Obama, despite his failures, because of his color or castigate those who decide not to vote for him because of his performance, aren’t they also RACISTS??? In truth, both hiring a person AND firing a person for performance & not race…both should be considered steps FORWARD…

To TAS; What planet are you living on. President hasn’t performed you say. You need to get your head out of you a*s and be real. President Obama accomplished something NO President has been able to accomplish in over 80 yrs. And that is get a comprehensive health care bill for ALL Americans. Plus Mitch McConnell senator from KKKentucky said before President Obama was even swore in “My goal is to make Obama a ONE term President. Also NOT one republican was able or willing to reach across the aisle to do the People’s work of which they were elected for. Instead the republicans were and are the party of NO NO NO, to anything President Obama attempted for the benefit of the American e people. AND you stupidly claim President Obama has not performed. REALLY, ask the Auto industry and it’s suppliers. The reason Ms. Dash has gotten so much flack is because to not even consider that President Obama has been the most disrespected President in HISTORY, Black people and other Humans find that not supporting your own is being a sell out. How do you think Jews in Germany felt about Jews supporting Hitler.??? Let me help you, they were viewed as sell outs. So when you support people that don’t support your people , THEY ARE SELL OUTS.

Ms. Dash iswn’t being tortured, her response to the backlash over her decision to support Romney is even staged. It’s a d**n shame actually that we have people who still will openly sell out like that. Not only is she just a hardcore sellout of her kind, but she is selling out almost half of the country who want jobs and need healthcare etc, who Romney says dont matter.

This is just another game by caucasoids to keep Black people divided.
It’s amazing, how these O’Drama-ites, can voice their choice for O’Drama, but when this negroid (chocolate covered caucasoid) voices her opinion to vote for willard, she’s struck down like lightening!!!
I could careless, who she votes for, because this political game is nothing, but a front; because both parties are the same. One party gives out crumbs (demonRATS) and the other party does not want us to have none (rePOOPlikkklans)!!!
After 5:00pm they BOTH go to their ‘good old boy’ clubs and laugh at stupid voters, who think their votes count! The only thing these politricksters want to do is stay in office, so they can continue to ‘argue’ with each other for another four years!
WE MUST DO FOR SELF…PLAIN & SIMPLE!

Stacy made herself a target by her staged endorsement…by public declaration she co-signed an ideology (remember 47% garbage)…that has expressed itself as the most intolerant,partisan(anything done to see Obama fail) ..closeted racist political campaigns in history..outrage from the community that has been under fire since the election of the first black President…was predictable
