You might say Wendy Williams has done the “open mouth insert foot” on her talk show when she said she doesn’t see the need for Historically Black Colleges and Universities or the NAACP!?!
Wait…What? Flip and see why Wendy Williams is Getting DRAGGED…


CelebNMusic247.com just heard that Wendy Williams is receiving a lot of backlash from the black community for NOT supporting Historic Black Colleges and Universities or the NAACP!
Wendy took it upon herself to weigh in on the need for Historically Black Colleges and Universities or the NAACP. But in her eyes there is NO NEED!
Ouch! Wendy really?
She pretty much told her audience she thinks it’s racist to have predominately black schools and organizations. Of course BET didn’t take kind to Wendy Williams views, so they FIRED off a statement!
Wendy asked the question if Jesse Williams speech was racist?
“Some people are saying Jesse Williams’ #BETAwards speech was racist. What do you think of the petition to get him fired from @greysabc?”
BET responded to Wendy Williams statement writing:
While speaking on the recent petition currently circulated to get Jesse fired from Grey’s Anatomy, the talk show host explained that she saw both sides of the story. Referencing his moving pro-Black speech at the 2016 BET Awards, she said his words were appropriate for the occasion and network, but can see how certain pro-Black institutions may be considered offensive.
She said:
“I must say to you, he was on BET. His speech was very poignant.”
“On the other hand, I would be really offended if there was a school that was known as a historically white college. We have historically Black colleges. What if there was the National Organization for White People, only? There’s the NAACP.”
When her usually loyal studio audience sat there in dead silence, she added, laughing, “Look, everybody’s quiet. You’re leaving me out here to dry by myself? One wrong word — I’m choosing my words carefully, but what I am saying is racism s**ks and we can all do better in our household, educating ourselves and teaching our children to make it better.”
Revisiting the topic of HBCUs, she said:
“National speeches like this will always rub people the wrong way just like white people will be offended because Spelman College is a historically Black college for women. You might feel funny about that. I know I’d feel funny, like I just told you. If there was a white college or whatever.”
What do you think about Wendy’s statement?
