Former White Breakfast Former White BreakfastAnother day another story about race as it is has reared its head again in a lawsuit filed against Sean “P Diddy” Combs’, Revolt TV. ย  Five white men who produced broadcasts of The Breakfast Club Radio Show morning show starring Charlamagne Tha God, DJ Envy, and Angela Yee, ย allege in papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court that they were victims of reverse discrimination.Douglas Goodstein, Todd Baker, Michael Schiff, Richard Wilson, ย and Jason Preziosi charge they were mocked by African-American executives after being hired in Jan. 2014 because they didnโ€™t get โ€œthe culture.โ€All the producers previouslyย worked for โ€œThe Howard Stern Show” before serving their tenure at Revolt TV. Theย producers, who are allย over age 39, say they were โ€œtreated worse than other employees who were younger and African American.โ€Goodstein also claimed that Val Boreland had “animosity” toward white people, and took exception when Val Boreland’s brother reportedly called him “old guy” and told him โ€œCaucasians harbored racism against African-Americans.โ€Goodstein also describes a scenario in the suit where he feels he was targetedย based on his age and ethnicity. He spoke on a situation whenย manager Cherisse McKenzie, who Goodstein said he complained to when a guest did not appear at the studio on time. McKenzie allegedly said that โ€œhe just did not understand the โ€˜cultureโ€™ of the showโ€™s guests and on-air personalities.โ€In Goodstein’s opinionย McKenzie “was clearly referring to African-American culture and/or African-American hip-hop culture, which assumed Baker did not understand because he was Caucasian.”The producers were fired in December of 2014 and replaced with a younger team according the the suit.We will follow this closely to seed what comes of it but at this time Revolt TV has not released any statements.
