Stacey Dash criticized those who have come out against the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences over the complete absence of non-white acting nominees at this year's Oscars - and called for the elimination of Black History Month and the cable channel BET.

Dash called Jada Pinkett Smith and Spike Lee's plan to boycott the Oscars 'ludicrous,' and then took things a step further.

'We have to make up our minds,' Dash said during an appearance on Fox & Friends.

'Either we want to have segregation or integration. And if we don't want segregation, then we need to get rid of channels like BET [Black Entertainment Television] and the BET Awards and the Image Awards where you're only awarded if you're black.'

She then added: 'If it were the other way around, we would be up in arms. It's a double standard.'

Dash did not stop there either, saying later in the interview when again asked if BET should be on air: 'No, I don't think so, no. Just like there shouldn't be a Black History Month. You know? We're Americans. Period. That's it.'

BET was quick to respond to Dash's comment in an Instagram post, writing; 'Soooooo @realstaceyldash, can we get our check back... or nah? #Remember #YouWereOnTheGame #AndWeDontMeanTheRapper.'

It included a photo of the actress appearing on its program The Game, where she had a guest role, along with the snide remark about her dating the rapper The Game.

Debra Lee, CEO of BET Networks, also said in a statement; 'Through our award shows and programming we have recognized incredible talent that simply does not get recognized elsewhere.

'African American contributions to American culture are countless and we cannot and should not wait for anyone to acknowledge them.'

Dash, 49, had previously discussed eliminating Black History Month and BET in a post on her blog late last year.

She wrote at the time; 'I don’t need a special month or special channel. What’s sad is that these insidious things only keep us segregated and invoke false narratives.'

Many talents: Dash, 49 (pictured left with Alicia Silverston in Clueless) is now a contributor on Fox News

Dash, who shot to fame with her role as Dionne in the film Clueless, is now a contributor to Fox News.

She voted for President Barack Obama in the 2008 election but then switched her party affiliation in 2012 to Republican, endorsing Mitt Romney in the election.

She has not been public about who she is endorsing in the Republican primary at this point in the race, but has shown support for Dr Ben Carson.

Dash was born in the Bronx and is part Bajan, African American and Mexican. She is the cousin of Roc-A-Fella Records founder and CEO Damon Dash.

She has two children from previous relationships, a 22-year-old son and a 12-year-old daughter.

Jada Pinkett Smith sparked widespread debate about the diversity of the Oscars with her Facebook post calling for a boycott on Monday.

On Wednesday, she further elaborated on her position.

'This whole Oscar controversy isn't really about the Oscars. Really, in my plea to ask all communities and people of color to take back our power is so that we can use it in all sectors of our community, and right now, specifically with African-American people, we have some very serious issues that I think we as a people have to move together on.'
