The group's performance on 'Britain's Got Talent' received more than 24,000 Ofcom complaints, but in an Instagram video, Ashley has insisted he'd happily do it "100 times over".
The 32-year-old star said: "One of the most complained about moments of the decade? Yes ... But also one of the most impactful conversation starters the country has ever seen.
"I’ll take that ... and I’d do it 100 times over."
Ashley admits to being surprised by the "uproar" the dance sparked.
But he also questioned why some viewers felt so uncomfortable about the routine.
He explained: "I don't think we anticipated the level at which this would cause a sort of uproar.
"To be the second most complained about television moment in the last decade pretty much 25,000 people took a time to fill out a form and complain that came as a bit of a shock.
"If the fact black lives matter makes you feel uncomfortable you have to ask yourself why."
Ashley thinks it's important he stands up for his own beliefs.
The TV star also thanked his fans for their support over recent weeks.
Reflecting on the reaction to the routine, Ashley - who was a judge on the latest series of 'Britain's Got Talent' - said: "That four minutes it caused hours, weeks worth of conversation.
"Not everyone will always like you, not everyone will always agree with you.
"Stand by what you believe in and speak up for it because if you do you can make change."
