'The Bachelor': African-American Men Suing -- The Show Is RACIST!!!

Two African-American men have just filed a discrimination lawsuit against the producers of "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" -- and now, they're going public with details behind their racism accusations ... we're streaming LIVE.

The news conference is scheduled to start at 12:30 PM PDT.

As we previously reported, the men -- Christopher Johnson and Nathaniel Claybrooks -- claim they were passed over for the role of the "bachelor" because of the color of their skin.

Go to BET and sell your concept there.

Problem solved, all is well in the world.

I’ll be right here if you need anymore advice.

Now get to work and make it happen.

[almost done by half]

Divorce Court may have had more successful marriages than The Bachelor or Bachelorette.

"..maybe because you don't have a lower lip"

ouch! From what I see, FreeRepublic has rather few racist comments compared to what you’ll see on main stream sites like youtube or yahoo. The comments on FR seem to be targeted at the media’s and so called black leaders to mention very obvious problems in the black community rather than actual animosity towards someone who just happens to be black. Like “those Amish again” type of comments that are often found here.

OMG.

[aimhigh]

Years ago, I remember reading that Hollywood media was exempted from such discrimination laws.

[Chode]

and what about BET???

[Mears]

When BET is removed from the air I will show SOME interest in this.

Until then——none.

They are not attractive. There are millions of handsome black men that could do the job, but these two, besides NOT being handsome, look angry and bitter. Hell, they could put that guy from DWTS with the burned up face and HE’D do fine, but if they put either of these to, the show would fail.

I think a lot of people are sick of the race card, and are starting to open their eyes to how they've been played for suckers by the race pimps, but the people on FR are a little more reserved about expressing those sentiments (if you can believe that!). Also, the average age on FR is probably 20 years more than the average internet poster, and 30 years more than the average TMZ reader. Teenagers and early twenty-somethings tend to post the most raw and antagonistic things.
