The Bachelor host Chris Harrison has announced he will no longer appear in the TV special and said he is 'deeply remorseful' for 'excusing historical racism' after he defended a contestant who attended a plantation-themed ball.
Harrison, who has hosted the ABC reality television dating show since 2002, issued a statement on his Instagram Saturday saying he is 'ashamed' of the 'pain' he has caused to people of color and that he is committed to 'evolve and be a better man.'
He will also be 'stepping aside' from the show and will not feature in the After the Final Rose special due to air after the season finale, he said.

Before you know it... Plantations, the Civil War and Lincoln will be myths from the past. Oh... And the DemocRAT party will be the party the ended slavery, instead of supporting its existence... Not the Republican party.
Time to add reruns of “Designing Women” to the list of TV shows no longer allowed to air, alongside “Dukes of Hazzard?”
We have gone insane.
I don’t watch stupid crap like that anyway so who gives a hoot?
How far does our society have to continue down this never-ending road to nowhere? We’ve collectively fallen into the trap of trying to appease that, which can *never* be appeased. History teaches us that the *only* way this ends is with massive bloodshed.
Completely ridiculous. He didn’t himself attend more did he himself put “like” on any racist flags. It was a contestant and he just defended her. So now punishment for other people vile behavior now? Great. What a future for the country. Be careful on social media. Those pictures from 2010 may come back and haunt you. I know in 10 years, they will go after people with an alcoholic beverage in their hand. It’s going in that direction.
Rodeos will be banned soon along with NFL, NASCAR and Golf.Soon basketball will be the only option.
After VW chose the name “Touareg” for its SUV they were attacked for being racially insensitive. (Or, some such blather.) Touareg means “Free Folk.” I suppose they thought that somebody calling themselves free folk and being black and Muslim would be a big winner with the liberals who buy VW’s. The attack took them by surprise. (Turns out the Touareg were slave holders among other things.) The German CEO had the right response as he said something along the lines of pi$$ off. (Presumably he said it in German which sounds a lot meaner than in English.) I think the “controversy” died then as I never heard another word. And, I think that’s the correct answer every time for everybody. If that was always the answer, rather than the stumbling apologies, cancel culture would die. I went searching for that incident so I could quote it exactly but couldn’t find it. Instead, I found this...

Next up swamp people, now?

For most people that is already a truism.
I’m sooo glad my tv is off 90% of the time and when it’s on it’s mostly old, bw movies, or jeopardy
There are millions of sad hateful Leftists whose greatest satisfaction is to ruin a more successful person’s life.
Well it’s a good thing there doesn’t exist a high school yearbook photo of him in Black Face alongside a person in a KKK robe. That would have been the end of...
Oh, wait a minute!!!
Oh, brother.
This garbage needs to stop.
Plantation weddings are NOT RACIST nor even supportive of “racist history” whatever that’s supposed to mean.
Cultural Genocide - everything in America’s past could be painted in a negative way and so if the left gets their way the entire history of America will be erased and replaced with a new more woke history.
“Deeply remorseful” etc is standard verbiage for these snowflakes. Is there some CCP “head of propaganda” writing them?
