Apparently LaKeith Stanfield had to get another black man together recently because he had some nasty things to say about black women.
The actor opened up about the situation on Instagram recently and people are buzzing about it on social media.
He says:
“Some dude, one of the drivers who takes us from point A to point B on one of the projects that I’m working on was like, ‘Yo black women are the hardest to deal with man. They are the most f-cked up version of women you can deal wth.’
“I was like, ‘whoa, whoa, whoa you’re talking to the wrong person man. Because as far as I’m concerned, it’s the most beautiful aspect of black women, man that they’ve been through the most sh-t you can go through in this country. They have been through the most sh-t. And that’s a beautiful thing.’
“That’s something that should empower you to be a better version that what the f-ck you are. Instead of you feeling beat down by it, it powers you to be better. So the woman that’s been through the most, that’s the woman I want on my side cause she understands when I go through sh-t, she knows how to deal with the sh-t. She been through it all. That’s a beautiful thing. Don’t ever throw them on the backburner like they f-cked up cause you can’t understand what the f-ck they went through. That’s b-tch n-gga sh-t.”

Now see I already had a lil crush on him but this seals the deal for me. Love him.
Some black men are so lost.
I know right? Thank goodness not all of them are trash though. Love Keith.
This is refreshing considering we’re living in a time when a lot of black men get off on bashing us.
Bae.
This was awesome. Too bad stories like this don’t ever blow up. The only stories that blow up are when black men are bashing us. When they uplift us, most blogs just ignore it.
Now imagine where black folks could be if more black men corrected each other like this.
So much respect for this.
