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.

”he defended a contestant who attended a plantation-themed ball.

He failed to join the mob, so now the mob is against him.

No one’s past is woke enough to pass tomorrow’s purity test, so the only chance to survive is to join the woke mob.

Chris is a RACIS’

Every Bachelor OR Bachelorette show from now on should have only black folks as contestants.

That’s equity Chris, spare me the puny apology.

Watched Gone with the Wind last night for the first time in like 20 years. Was laughing on how politically incorrect it was. Things like little black slave girls fanning the rich white girls as they lay in bed.

‘Rodeos will be banned soon along with NFL, NASCAR and Golf.Soon basketball will be the only option.’

why would the NFL be banned, at 80% black participation...> Baseball, infused with what could be termed ‘white hispanics’ will go before football...hockey is endangered as well...

anything that cannot put blacks in general, and females in particular, front and center will be relegated to ‘obscure diversions’, and the TV coverage will reflect that demotion...

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.

Orwell was right about a lot of things, but then he was wrong about some dictatorial government like the Dementia Joe dicatsrhip being able to erase history.
Thanks to the internet, the dark web, and good old plain massive hard drives etc, everybody has the records of everything that happened on their computers or digital devices.
So for example, it don't really matter one whit of YouTube decides to erase some video or the other about the massive Biden ballot fraud. I have all them videos on my digital devices already as do billions of people, and you can still see them on literally thousands of other video sharing sites, a lot of them not even based in America.
You simply can't erase history.

Q for the left: Is Sheets Byrd’s name still on that scholarship program? On buildings?

Why hasn’t that changed?

Harrison, you should have fought for your job.

All you needed was 2 words: Sheets Byrd.

Its a good thing I hardly ever watch any TV at all, let alone inane programs like “The Bachelor"
I simply don't have enough years left on this earth to waste watching the drivel they show on American TV, especially the nonsense spewed out by the deranged fake news outlets like CNN etc.

>(Presumably he said it in German which sounds a lot meaner than in English.)

And probably has 4 more syllables, in a single compound word.

And while he may have said that, Touareg is no longer a VW nameplate. That space in the model lineup is now occupied by the Atlas, the mountains from which the Touareg hail.

I expect barn weddings will be next on the chopping block. Barns evoke farming, and everyone knows that farmers are uneducated, lazy, and racist.

/s for those who don’t recognize it without a tag.
