[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone else keeping up with the latest drama? Chris Harrison had a train wreck interview this week with Rachel Lindsay. Petition to remove him gaining traction (although I don’t think it will work).

If you haven’t watched the interview, please do so- it’s jaw-droppingly awful: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9hmY1gSAuRk

I don't know what you are talking about.  I watched the interview with Rachel Lindsay and I don't think it's anything at all.  Most white people are not good at talking about racial issues.  Harrison is no exception.  He's not perfect, but my god... do we have to slam everyone who says anything about racial stuff?  Let's not equate him with the "Unite the Right" type of people.  Harrison is wrong to suggest that 50million people went to parties at Southern plantations and wrong to suggest that it's no big deal and wrong to suggest that nobody knew that in 2018.  That's on him.  But, he also has some good points:  that people need to let Rachel speak before defining everything about her; that Rachel was young and from a society/region of the country where this wasn't unusual.

To expect that a girl who grew up in rural GA is going to know better than everyone around her at the age of 21 --- I just think that's asking a bit much.  Rachel is a product of GA.  Period.  She has made a statement owning up to how offensive that party was.  She is learning and making changes.

As for Harrison -- I don't think he did anything so egregious.  [/quote]
