Alabama native Hannah Brown is in hot water again for showing racial insensitivity on social media.
The former “Bachelorette” star -- who faced a backlash in May 2020 for saying the N-word in an Instagram Live video -- recently deleted an Instagram photo that showed her wearing a Southern belle outfit. The photo, taken in May 2013, showed Brown posing at a presentation ceremony for the Tuscaloosa Belles, a service organization for high school girls that’s linked to the Tuscaloosa County Preservation Society. .. Dresses that evoke the Old South -- with hoop skirts, pantalettes and petticoats -- .. Folks who support such costumes say they’re a nod to Southern traditions and heritage, and a way to preserve history. But critics say the outfits glorify the antebellum south and celebrate plantation culture while ignoring the horrors of slavery. The photo of Brown as a Southern belle -- and her deletion of it on Instagram -- was pointed out by observers such as @TeaAndRoses21 on Twitter, amid a Bachelor Nation controversy about racism in the franchise and another Southern belle image. .. Rachael Kirkconnell, a contestant on “The Bachelor” this season, is among four women who remain on the show, hoping to forge a romantic relationship with Matt James. He’s the first Black lead on “The Bachelor” in the series’ history. Kirkconnell, who’s white, made headlines earlier this month when photos emerged on Reddit, showing her in Southern belle garb at a plantation-themed fraternity formal in 2018. TikTok users also found evidence of the Georgia native liking social media posts with the Confederate flag and sharing QAnon conspiracy theories. .. Harrison’s interview with Lindsay provoked an intense backlash among “Bachelor” fans and prompted a #FireChrisHarrison hashtag on social media. In response, Harrison apologized twice, announcing in the second apology that he was stepping away from the show until further notice. He’s been the host of “The Bachelor” since the series made its debut in 2002. “I have spent the last few days listening to the pain my words have caused, and I’m deeply remorseful,” Harrison wrote. “My ignorance did damage to my friends, colleagues and strangers alike. I have no one to blame but myself for what I said and the way I spoke. I set standards for myself, and have not met them. I feel that with every fiber of my being. Now, just as I taught my children to stand up, and to own their actions, I will do the same. By excusing historical racism, I defended it. I invoked the term ‘woke police,’ which is unacceptable. I am ashamed over how uninformed I was. I was so wrong.” .. In the meantime, Kirkconnell released a statement on Instagram apologizing for her behavior and “truths that have come to light.” “At one point, I didn’t realize how offensive and racist my actions were, but that doesn’t excuse them,” Kirkconnell wrote. “They are not acceptable or okay in any sense. I was ignorant, but my ignorance was racist ... I hope I can earn your forgiveness through my future actions.” https://www.al.com/life/2021/02/hannah-brown-under-fire-for-deleting-southern-belle-photo-amid-bachelor-controversy.html they are all mentally ill. Going to be interesting when they find out black and brown girls are doing the Southern Belle thing. |

The American political left’s nihilism would be more fun to watch if it impacted them faster. It’s less fun when they descend into insanity slowly and try to take us with them.

Based on that photo, she's clearly a racist, Klan supporter and should be ostracized from society

Why is this chick on a show competing for one douchey guy, looks like she could get a man easily

Because giving into the mob always works out so well.
We need more people to say "You don't like this? Well then, you can go fuck off". |

And you don’t do a damn thing about it except post tough talk statements like the above..... “The south” as an institution survives more in the fearful minds of coastal liberals than in the actual south. Also, imagine getting upset over this thot. Holy shit. You should had been far more upset a lonnnnggggggg time ago. |

Perhaps they should just throw all of the southern states out of the union?

What a bunch of drama liberal hate.
That show for years has pushed interracial dating when it is probably nowhere close to the majority of relationships. There is the first black bachelor I read. How many white and black women started out? Then Harrison cries about "systemic racism" which is really where nothing that is happening now will do one thing to help solve problems in the black community. The black community will never solve their self-made destructive issues until they stop supporting Democrats, return to having kids only in a stable two parent (man-woman) marriage, stress education, values etc. They need to clean up the crime in their ghettos and housing projects. This is all because of over fifty years of the Great Society that destroyed the black family. As a nation, we need to end welfare for bastard kids. All welfare. No housing, free phone, food stamps, Medicaid. Start doing things the right way and there is a chance that within twenty years or so we will see dramatic improvements in the black community. Just claiming "systemic racism" or demanding reparations will do nothing. |

Don't go on the Bachelor. Problem solved. Reality TV has been a plague upon humanity since its inception. The fact that it's worse now in the age of SJW tardo McFardos should come as a surprise to absolutely no one. If you don't want your life dissected and torn apart over stupid shit, don't go on reality TV.

THOT's dressing up as a "Southern Belle" is no different than a stripper in a nurse costume. They're both dead on the inside and have no way to express an opinion except in vowels. |
