Stacey Dash explains her WTF Oscars appearance

We're not the only ones who did a double-take when Stacey Dash showed up at the Oscars last night.

The Clueless star, who's sparked controversy by speaking out against #OscarsSoWhite and Black History Month, was summoned by the evening's host Chris Rock, walking on stage and wishing the audience a happy Black History Month before immediately leaving.

Wait...what?

Lucky for us, Dash gave us the story behind her random appearance in a post on her blog, which she published minutes after her big Oscars moment.

*shrugs*

And whether you like what she has to say or not, at least we now know the full story.

She introduced herself.

You might be watching the Oscars and wondering why someone named Stacey Dash just walked across the stage. (Why was that funny anyway?)

Explained why she's "spoken out about a LOT of stuff that black people try to stuff down my throat."

For example, I spoke out against Black History Month. ( Why should there be such a thing? Haven’t we had more than just one month’s worth of accomplishments? Here my thoughts HERE.) Plus, I spoke out against the #OscarsSoWhite controversy HERE. My take? We need to stop complaining about white people oppressing us, we shouldn’t boycott the Oscars, and we need to support Chris Rock the host.

And then told us why she was invited onstage (well, kinda).

Which brings me to the joke. When they added ME to increase the diversity, I’m sure many black people rolled their eyes. I’m not “black enough,” they say. But guess what? I’ve heard that all my life. I would rather be a free thinking, black than a cookie cutter black who thinks – and votes – just like all my friends.

Explanation or not, we still think Chris was crazy for this one.
