Actress and Fox News cultural correspondent Stacey Dash on “The O’Reilly Factor” Monday appeared to weigh in on the recent debate between host Bill O’Reilly and Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart over the idea of “white privilege.” Dash, who is biracial and grew up with two drug addicts as parents, rejected the idea.

“Correct me if I am wrong, but you don’t believe that society put you down, do you?” asked O’Reilly.

“No, I don’t,” Dash responded. “All we have to do is walk in the opportunity. What has to happen is the disenfranchised and the uninformed need to be educated.”

When O’Reilly asked about prominent African-Americans like Cornell West who pushed the idea of white privilege, Dash dismissed it as “propaganda…. That makes it someone else’s fault. Your life, your destiny, anything you want is dependent on somebody else… It’s your responsibility.”
