Chris Harrison exits 'The Bachelor' franchise after racism controversy

In his interview with Lindsay, Harrison expressed sympathy for Kirkconnell and implied that the criticism directed against her was unfair because the photos were from the past. When Lindsay said it was not a good look that Kirkconnell attended a party celebrating the antebellum South — a time period when slavery was present — Harrison said: “Well, Rachel, is it a good look in 2018? Or is it not a good look in 2021? Because there’s a big difference.

"It's not a good look ever," Lindsay, who is Black, said in response."If I went to that party, what would I represent at that party?"in an interview with ABC News'"Good Morning America." "I am an imperfect man, I made a mistake and I own that," Harrison told"GMA" co-host Michael Strahan."I believe that mistake doesn't reflect who I am or what I stand for. I am committed to progress, not just for myself, also for the franchise."

Harrison said in his interview that he was seeking guidance from a"race educator and strategist," who is teaching him how to learn from this experience and move forward. He added that his departure was"not the finish line."His departure came within a day of the premiere of the 17th season of"The Bachelorette," which aired on Monday. The show is currently being guest

He got fired for suggesting that people may be over reacting to a lady who went to a theme party 3 years ago that she probably didn't think about in racial terms because white people don't base their every thought around race and racism like black people seem to these days. Wow

So I’m really relieved that the host of a vacuous TV show about pretty people giving each other roses is losing his job for racist comments. Now can we focus on the racist insurrectionists who attacked Congress and tried to overthrow our democracy?

All I can say is screw all the cancel culture idiots. Can’t cancel me. Because IDGAS.
