He claims his techniques were effective in bringing the crowd around and led to black and white audience members hugging, adding: "Black, white, doesn't matter to me."
Robbins' lawyers told Buzzfeed that "the presentation was positive and was accepted in the context in which it was conducted: a passionate discussion about racism and how to rise above it".
They added: "Any suggestion that Mr Robbins is somehow racist or insensitive to the African-American community is absurd and false. Indeed, one of Mr Robbins' event partners for 25-plus years is an African-American."
Previous revelations from Buzzfeed have included claims that Robbins has exposed himself to female assistants and sexually harassed fans.
Robbins has criticised the #MeToo movement in the past, saying women are using the #MeToo movement as "a drug" to make themselves "significant".
The millionaire self-help guru was caught on tape describing #MeToo as an excuse for women to use "victimhood" for their own means.
He then went on to tell a bizarre anecdote about a "famous, powerful man" who chose not to hire a "very attractive" woman as it was "too risky to have her around".
Robbins made the comments on March 10 at a seminar in San Jose, California, and they later went viral.
"If you use the #MeToo movement to try to get significance and certainty by attacking and destroying someone else… all you've done is basically use a drug called significance to make yourself feel good," Robbins told the audience.
Robbins told the audience he wasn't "knocking the #MeToo movement," but was "knocking victimhood". He addressed the crowd, asking them to consider the impact of it while saying "anger is not empowerment".
After the footage went viral, the founder of the #MeToo movement Tarana Burke took to Twitter to blast Robbins for his "misogyny".
