"Chris Harrison said we shouldn't judge her for going to a plantation themed party because 'we weren't as woke back then as we are now.' Pic is from 2018. I graduated in 2009. If I found out one of my friends went to a party like that, I'm slapping the s-t out of them on sight.

"In addition: 1. Y'all had a known racist on my season with an African American lead....2. Y'all pull this bulls--t by having Rachel on Matt's season and conveniently 'missing' this blip in her past. Y'all sleep in the vetting department the last few years, or nah?"

"I have said it before and I'll say it again. The @BachelorABC franchise is a dark place for the African American community. They glorify and promote a blue collar, white washed version of perfection and refuse to show any grace or social repercussions for blatant racism."

"Wish I could say this Chris Harrison interview and him defending racist behavior was shocking...but it's not. Thank God he's retiring."

"Toni Morrison always had the right words," Kristin wrote on Twitter when sharing a quote that read: "The function, the very serious function of racism, is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining, over and over again, your reason for being."
