Clueless star Stacey Dash accused of 'not being black enough' on Twitter

Clueless star Stacey Dash is brushing aside the racially charged attacks on Twitter she received for endorsing Republican Mitt Romney in the 2012 Presidential Race. The actress had tweeted her support for the former Massachusetts governor on Sunday but soon a series of vitriolic messages with racial slurs were sent her way, slamming Dash for her political views.

 The ugly virtual exchange has cast a pall over the publicized reunion of the cast of the 1995 film, as the 46-year-old insists Romney is the best choice for women. Dash, who played Dionne 'Dee' Davenport in the high school comedy opposite Alicia Silverstone, took to the micro blogging website this weekend to reveal how she would be voting come November. 'Vote for Romney. The only choice for your future,' she tweeted on Sunday, posting a steamy photo of herself dressed in a sexy red top in front of an American flag.


 After her statement, she later re-tweeted a message from the conservative candidate to female voters, promising that a Romney regime would provide more economic opportunities for women. 'Women have had enough of Barack Obama,' the message from the GOP challenger, dated October 6, read. But once she showed her political stripes, Dash was soon slammed on Twitter
 'You're an unemployed black woman endorsing Mitt Romney. You're voting against yourself thrice. You poor beautiful idiot,' one person wrote in an ugly message to the actress. 'Still clueless,' another critic tweeted, as numerous tweets filled with racial slurs were posted. 'Wait Stacey Dash is voting for Romney? You get a lil money and you forget that you’re black and a woman. Two things Romney hates,' another user tweeted. But once she showed her political stripes, Dash was soon slammed on Twitter.

But after a flurry of messages, Dash seemed to take the online attack in stride and posted a follow-up message, defending her right to support the Republican nominee. 'My humble opinion...EVERYONE is entitled to one,' she wrote. Fans of her political persuasion joined in, re-tweeting her endorsement nearly 5,000 times. Team Dash also started a hashtag, #ISupportStaceyDash, to encourage the beaten down star. 'It's not against the law to speak out against Obama, yet. There are millions with you @realstaceydash. We've ALL had enough 'change,' one supporter wrote.
