'I'm not going to sit here and act like we've gotten it right all the time, because we haven't,' the radio host says, before asking the 'Get Out' star to 'fix your raggedy-a** mouth.'

AceShowbiz - Charmalagne Tha God is one of those people who finds Lakeith Stanfeild's recent comments about black media offensive. In a latest episode of "The Breakfast Club", the co-host responded to the "Get Out" star's Instagram post in which he blasted the radio show among other media.
"The shade room, lipstick Alley, breakfast club, worldstar, and many others are or anti Black," Lakeith wrote on his paction. "It's a fact that a lot of these platforms are usually or tend to be feeding grounds for negative reinforcement toward BLACK 'nonconformists'," the actor added in the caption.
"They bolster faux vanity and hold a white supremacists scope over black men and women often highlighting negative attributes and downplaying mind expanding ones. They serve as bottomless coward consumption pits and digital, audio, or otherwise slave mentatilty museums. @ all you want," he concluded.
In the Thursday, November 14 episode of "The Breakfast Club", Charmalagne used it as an opportunity to address the criticism. "You can say any and everything about me. I've damn near heard it all about myself online. But what you won't do is ever fix your lips to call one of my platforms, especially The Breakfast Club, anti-Black," Charmalagne fired back.
"I'm not going to sit here and act like we've gotten it right all the time, because we haven't," he went on saying. "We've made plenty of mistakes on this radio... All that critique is fine. But, Lakeith Stanfield, don't you ever fix your raggedy-a** mouth to call the author of Black Privilege - because I truly believe it is a privilege to be Black - anti-Black."
"I don't know what got into you yesterday, king. But watch your mouth, when it comes to calling a Black man like me anti-Black," the South Carolina native added after talking about Lakeith's gay slurs controversy back in 2018.
Concluding his comment, CTG said, "This came from a place of love. Two takeaways I want to leave you with: One, be the change you want to see in media and stop acting like a damn buffoon in all your interviews. And two, don't burn those Black bridges just because White folks in Hollywood sent you a boat, because history shows us what happens when White folks put Black folks on a boat."
