Rachel Lindsay will ‘dissociate’ herself from ‘Bachelor’ if changes aren’t made

Rachel Lindsay has called on the execs behind “The Bachelor” to address what she believe is systemic racism, saying she would “dissociate” herself from Bachelor Nation if changes aren’t made.

The former “Bachelorette” — the franchise’s only black lead in its history — wrote in a candid blog post that in the past she hasn’t “been loud enough on the deep-rooted, 18-year systemic problems in this franchise.”

“This is the reason that I have come to the conclusion that if changes are not made on the inside and outside of the franchise, I will dissociate myself from it,” said the 35-year-old.

She said the program must cast “leads that are truly interested in dating outside of their race,” and “stop making excuses for the lack of diversity and take action to rectify the problem.”

Additionally, Lindsay proposed the franchise diversifies “the producers on the show to make your contestants of color feel more comfortable,” and to “stop creating problematic story lines for people of color.”

“Lastly, and maybe the most important action item, the franchise should make a statement acknowledging their systemic racism,” Lindsay said.

Has there ever been a black Bachelor or Bachelorette? If not why not?

Black Lives Matter but not if you're an black conservative...

Rachel Lindsay Retweeted:

Good morning.

Candace Owens is a Black, white Supremacist who profits off of being the black face of white racism.

Black people can always make a quick buck being willing to say all the racist stuff white racists want to but can’t. #CandaceOwens

Well, the subject of this article is black and was apparently a lead Bachelorette on that hideous program.

“ Has there ever been a black Bachelor or Bachelorette? If not why not?”

Why should that be a criteria? Why not just have a “Black Bachelorette”? They have “Black xxxx” that excludes non blacks, but damned if they can be excluded from anything.

“Systemic racism” is dog-whistle for “Kill Whitey.”

Because they are judged by the content of their character and not the skin color?

Given the psychological baggage the culture tries to foist on black people (you are victims, you are oppressed, you can’t be racists, you can’t help yourself if you loot or riot, etc) I’ll stick with White Privilege, thanks.

"Where's the White women at?"

- Blazing Saddles

Yes, they should cast more svelte 6' 2"-tall Black women interested in dating pudgy, 5' 4"-tall Asian men... More 22-year-old White supermodels interested in dating impoverished, 50-year-old balding couch potatoes... To say nothing of homosexual pairings... That should really boost their ratings!

Regards,

Oh good grief. Lets call it “White Women Seeking Mandingo Lovers”, and be done with it.

I thoroughly expect if Trump wins in November, all the actors and athletes will “go on strike” to protest.

But the thing is, they’ll realize that nobody will miss them if they do.

The floodgates have been opened. There is no turning back now. The network will cave to her every demand and apologize for past transgressions.
