It didn’t take long for Charles Consigny to find his voice in “On N’est Pas Couché”. After a smooth premiere, the 29-year-old columnist found a way to rock the set of Laurent Ruquier’s show.
On Saturday “ONPC” hosted Kiddy Smile, the DJ who on the evening of the Fête de la Musique made the courtyard of the Elysée dance with a t-shirt on which was written “Son of an immigrant, black and queer”. Already a rearguard battle, according to the polemicist.

“When you say Son of immigrants, black and queer, […] that you are in that statement, I’m just a little more cautious because I think things have actually changed a lot lately,” he said. And he continues: “In the fields of fashion, music, TV, the media, today, in reality, it is almost easier to be successful when you are the son of immigrants, black and queer than when you are the son of a man of French ethnicity, white and heterosexuals. »
“Media goodwill” versus reality
A speech that offended the host and Christine Angot: “I find what you say horrible”, launched Kiddy Smile. “Me too,” the columnist blurted out. Charles Consigny then backtracked: “It’s not easier, but there is the good will of the media which is a reality. » «We still have to gain the good will of the media», observed Laurent Ruquier. And Christine Angot adds: “On the ease of being black, let someone who is black talk about it.”

Even on the Internet the comments are shocked. Starting with journalist Jean-Michel Aphatie who reacts: “We thought we had hit rock bottom with Éric Zemmour. I wonder if with a little training, this young man won’t be able to do better (sigh)” “It’s too great an honor,” Consigny retorts in return.
The two men like this continuous their exchanges: “Your sentence You have to be black and gay to be successful in the media it’s despicable and it’s sad to see that the expansion of your ego prevents you from understanding it”, Jean-Michel Aphatie reproaches him. Charles Consigny replied: “I didn’t say that at all; What I said is evident.” Aphatie: “I’ve been visiting newsrooms for a long time. Nothing is more false than claiming that skin color or sexual orientation are passports to entry. » Consigny: “Okay, I didn’t say this and anyone in good faith will perfectly understand the meaning of my intervention. »
