Actress Stacey Dash’s recent quip about getting rid of Black History Month and BET prompted a Black Twitterverse backlash almost as big as the predicted East Coast snowstorm this weekend. But the most noticeable response was from BET itself. Who knew a whole network was capable of such a clapback?
But it’s true. On its Twitter page, BET reminded Dash that she made cameo appearances in its show “The Game.”
Soooooo @REALStaceyDash can we get our check back… or nah? #Remember #YouWereOnTheGame #AndWeDontMeanTheRapper pic.twitter.com/2vWq03J0c9

Dash has yet to respond to BET’s shade throw, but insisted she was right on a Patheos blog post and managed to invoke actor Morgan Freeman as someone who agrees with her. No word on whether or not she’ll be refunding her payment back to BET.
