Lakeith Stanfield Calls Out Several Prominent Black Media Outlets, Says They’re ‘Anti-Black’

Actor Lakeith Stanfield went after some of the internet’s prominent Black media outlets on Wednesday, calling many of them “anti-Black.”
The actor went after favorite Black media outlets on his Instagram page.
“It’s a fact that a lot of these platforms are usually or tend to be feeding grounds for negative reinforcement toward BLACK ‘nonconformists.’ They bolster faux vanity and hold a white supremacists scope over Black men and women often highlighting negative attributes and downplaying mind expanding ones,” Stanfield wrote on Instagram.
In a picture accompanying his post, the actor called out The Shade Room, Lipstick Alley, The Breakfast Club, and WorldStar specifically for being “anti-Black.”
“They serve as bottomless coward consumption pits and digital, audio, or otherwise slave mentality museums. @ all you want,” he added at the end of his post.
Several entertainers agreed with his statement.
Artist Gianni Lee commented on the post and said the media gossip sites not only focus on the erroneous things, but they also make those who aren’t mainstream feel like outsiders.
“When they do have forward thinking or progressive guests they tend to make them feel like weirdos or poke fun at their views. Most of the time they never get the platform to begin with. Many of the content they spew does not do a good job of showing the full spectrum of blackness and leaves a lot of us “weirdos” under-represented. We just choose not to say anything because we’ll be called haters” Lee wrote in his comment on Stanfield’s post.
