You will be matured enough to understand why this happen . To learn from it . God sees your heart inside and out. And there is a right guy for you that will swift your feet in the future. God bless you Rachel.
Matt's a coward and an appeaser. He didn't care about Rachel. He decided to appease the "cancel" crowd and the current social forces and tearfully play the "I'm so hurt and a victim role". LOL He doesn't give a damn about her party photo. He just cowered and decided to dump her, so he can still be loved by the (actual) racists currently in power.
EO is amazing... I wish they would give the show to him, but I doubt he would take it. His level headedness and ability to get past the WOKE HAMMER was refreshing.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails... you can do better Rachel. I pray that you will get someone that will love you unconditionally like you deserve.That was so sad to see you like that God Bless you🙏✝️🌷
Thank you for this kind message. All of the women on this season can do better. He obviously has commitment issues. At the first sign of trouble in their relationship, he abandoned her. You do not do that to people you love. If he truly loved her, he would have taken the time to work through this. She is not irredeemable. This is a good opportunity for growth, and he chose not to be a part of that.
@@Mel-zv1gf Right, and he also refused to give Michelle two minutes to speak her peace after he blindsided her on the show. My heart goes out to Michelle and I truly hope she meets her person on her season as the Bachelorette. Congrats Michelle!🎉🎉🎉
She dodged a person who was not committal to begin with...I wish her all the best and I hope the Bachelor franchise get men who are actually serious about marriage and finding the one because Matt was not ready at all and it obvious he came on the show for clout and social media followers
Exactly. It's very obvious. Especially because he could easily go back to her after everything that has happened. She didn't mean to do it that much is clear. He wants to be a bachelor famous playboy
She loves him. But he worry for her going through life with people who will refuse to forgive her. He is right . Look at some of the comments.. we have to have a forgiving heart.
I can pretty much guarantee that the only reason he broke up with her is because of the backlash hed receive from the woke police if he stayed with her.
@@rsing3325 doesn't sound like love from his part, does it? Who would he be in relationship with, her or all of the viewers?? What was the goal here, to find love of a woman or of viewers? To mee it seems like the latter
She still loves him. God bless her. People make mistakes. The fact that he could not forgive her for it, means he never truly loved her. Love is forgiving. You could have still grown from this together.
That man was damned if he did damned if he didn't. If he stayed with her people would crucify him for being with her (especially Blk Women), and if he left people would crucify him for "not loving her".
@@tertalksevents2day she definitely should be apologetic. If she weren't on the bachelor this wouldn't be a conversation, however she was on the bachelor and it is a conversation. Regardless, she apologized and her apology should be excepted as she continues to educate herself.
I think Matt is childish and not mature enough for true commitment. I support the break up, but he should have handled it better for someone he claimed to love.
Best moment in Bachelor season. Finally 2 people sitting having a civilized conversation. Well done Bachelor show. Well done Acho! This is needed to open people's eyes.
Certainly want to honor and respect feelings from all parties, we don't walk in those shoes. But, his actions do seem to reiterate his fear or inability to commit. Based on how he described the value of commitment and his faith, I would have expected to see a little more grace and loyalty here.
I agree. Regardless of this outcome, I don't think Matt knows what he wants at the moment. He seems quite confused as to what love is and what a relationship should be. Not to be mean here, but I think his mum has him stuck in a mindset that's all about the downfall of her relationship with his dad.
@@ailujd this I agree with completely. He needs to free himself from the experiences he’s been conditioned to. It might be a painful, unfamiliar, and uncomfortable process but it is required if he wishes to see that change within himself so he doesn’t become like his father as he said he was fearful of.
this guy was not ready for a commitment after he talked to his mom and bro we was looking for a way out couldn't talk to Michelle after being so cold to her in her hotel room. we should all understand when your young your not perfect can you make mistakes yes can you forgive you should matt was not ready he needs help

Thanks Emmanuel for filling in as host. Unfortunately nothing can replace Chris Harrison. We need to forgive Chris and accept his apology. Chris needs to return as the host of the Bachelor/Bachelorette franchise. This show will never be the same without him. Chris has the energy, passion and love for this show that no other host can pull off!
I think my comment was deleted. I don’t believe Matt was ready for a relationship, he was looking for a reason to run. I don’t believe he could take the time and help Rachel heal. He had too many incredible woman and still couldn’t makeup his mind.
That is why most people wouldn't bother having an interracial relationship because there is another level of potential complication due to racial comments. Love is already too hard to find without this conflict.
1000% It's so counterintuitive as well bc the two who are in love obviously don't see color.... But to others, you have to try and somehow explain or "defend" your love
IMO another big issue is that the franchise knew this was in her past and booked her as a contestant ANYWAY. Was this to cause issues for Matt? Bc that’s the real intentional, malicious, racism I see.
But lets be realistic if we didnt know where the photo was taken and didnt know the context of the photo lets be real the picture is 3 girls smiling in dresses
@@PhyferRage Karen thats not what im saying im not saying what she did was correct either whats I said was true or false if we didn’t know, the picture shows 3 girls in dresses
@@shrutik9673 see this is the problem with cancel culture im not saying You’re wrong im not says shes right im not siding with her im not saying what she did was right im saying “IF” am i crazy for stating the obvious but no theres always cancel culture police ready to blow everything out of proportion
She never answered the questions directly, she just kept saying she knows it was wrong and she’s working to do better but could never actually answer in regards to what was asked.. which leads me to believe she is only saying all of this because she was caught. When you grow up in that life style (and yes her up bringing definitely played a part in this) you are conditioned to not see anything wrong with it and you assume it’s okay, which is likely the case for her, and her admitting she never laid awake at night thinking about what might happen if Matt saw the pictures just proves she didn’t understand the severity of what she did. And Because of that and her being so naive to it all her whole life I doubt her mindset would change so quickly and although she may be reading things and listening to things to educate herself; when you lived one way for so long it won’t change overnight if it even changes at all.
If she was being racially ignorant she clearly didn’t know what she did was wrong in the past therefore she wasn’t worried about it coming forward. Now it probably keeps her up at night because she knows what she did was wrong and is now going to be shamed for it for years
@@kenziekimes she was either lying and she knew it was wrong. Or she lied and it was her upbringing that made her racially ignorant. There is no way her parents didn’t know about those parties and what they stood for so they either raised her in that environment and to think it was ok and she won’t admit it, or she was well aware of what it meant from the start but doesn’t want to look worse on national TV. Idk about you but I wouldn’t dress up and go to a party like that without having some concept of what it stood for, so I don’t believe that she went into it completely blind.
@@juliataylor1829 personally i didn’t even know what that party she did even was or represented either until her photos surfaced and I realized what they meant. I don’t necessarily think that was my upbringing, just unaware. But now I am aware. Idk i genuinely think people can be racially ignorant and not know what certain things mean or meant until later on.
No doubt she should be held accountable for her actions and addressed that what she did was wrong. Although she did thing racially insensitive thing, this should not define who she is for the rest of her life! She was young and arrogant and selfish! This cancel culture of cutting people down is crazy. People make mistakes and that's why we are human. She is working towards improvement and holding herself accountable and that is the most important thing.
I am very proud of you Rachael, you talked very sensible way. This is very hard to balance your emotions as you were really in love with him, but he was not and you were in national media. So be happy. He was just acting in the show without any feelings, it was very artificial. You conversed very well with Emmanuel and explained about it. Credit should go to your parents as they have brought you up very well. I wish you the best out of best in your life. Have right choices when you choose your better half. Love you.
This is what Chris Harrison meant by saying "let her say her grace". There has been a noticeable growth of interracial couples over the last several years too. Southerners have the toughest road in all of this (they are in the environment and all the hot buttons seem to be there). When you are young you simply do things without thinking. Its not always a direct reflection on who you are. Hope she's ok.
I think everybody's gotta walk in each others shoes to truly understand. Stereotypes are bad. People get hurt. It's normal for people to not understand something they havent been exposed to. Ignorance hurts it's true. But I think what counts in the end is whether a person's actions were intentional or not. You see people taking selfies at different places that have a sad history. Whatever history that may be. It's done all the time even at places linked to wars etc. I really think people will always unintentionally hurt people.
@@ikrazi83 don’t listen to the troll. they’re just projecting their own insecurities on you. i understood what you were saying, and i’m glad i read your comment!
Good thing Instagram wasn’t around when I was 23 lol . Chit will come back to haunt you . My friends would have to dig through soil to pull out evidence 🤫
I'm not defending her but I heard producers snoop through contestants social media accounts and she should have read the agreement at the casting call.
Great job Emmanuel. I'm sad for both Matt and Rachael if they truly felt that they saw a future spouse in each other.... It's gotten easy to dismiss people for being on these shows for "other reasons" -- but in this case, I don't think we should be so dismissive of, or trivialize things like interracial relationships or a person who grew up with an absent parent. (Physically or emotionally) Those are sensitive issues, and there is vulnerability in sharing that with a national audience..... I feel that Rachael is remorseful about her racial insensitivity. I only hope that IF Matt truly fell in love with her, that this was NOT the last time they will speak. Both of you need to reflect and pray on it, you have gone through a BEYOND heavy issue very publicly. True love can survive great pain. In fact -- some of our greatest pain in this life can be healed with unconditional love, kindness, understanding and honest communication. ❤❤
Well she got ripped infront of national television because of something she ignorantly did years ago, and I dont even find it FAIR because no ones perfect
I hope The Bachelorette should make some new ground rules regarding it’s diversity issues between racism, stereotypes, and other problems after what happened during the Chris Harrison issue.
The final Kiss was a sign for me she didn’t really want to 🤷🏽♀️ see something ppl just want to win an get to the end . But some. wants love . Well he should’ve stuck with well nvm ...
I never felt Matt was into any of the women, maybe with Serena P but honsetly no one else. Why did he even come, it didn't feel like he was truly serious about finding love. He cared more about the fall out with his Dad.
I feel like everyone makes mistakes, you live and you lear your actions from now will show . If you’ve grown or haven’t . & she does need to figure that out on his own
Lets this be a lesson to anyone who wants to come on TV.. Comb through your social medias or has a matter of fact delete it because once you are famous the gloves are off and people will dig for anything esp the cancel culture people whoo chile
Prejudice is a willful commitment to ignorance is a made up definition. In the Webster dictionary Prejudice means intolerance or hatred of other races. Rachel going to a Pre Civil War party does not mean she was intolerant or had hatred toward African American people and she should not have to apologize for going to that party and wearing that time period dress with her friends in 2018. She should not be judged when she did nothing bad and I think she dodged a bullet with Matt not loving her enough to get over his insecurities of past events that never happened to him.

Yes that's true
Matt's a coward and an appeaser. He didn't care about Rachel. He decided to appease the "cancel" crowd and the current social forces and tearfully play the "I'm so hurt and a victim role". LOL He doesn't give a damn about her party photo. He just cowered and decided to dump her, so he can still be loved by the (actual) racists currently in power.
Worthy? You must have a confederate flag bumper sticker on your Ford F-150
@@queenpluto5755 Are you seriously getting butthurt over the use of the word "worthy?"
DAMN they actually broke up.. Crazy but Emmanuel is the GOAT
@John Stone cuz people can still appreciate character no matter what clothes they wear 😂
All bachelors break up.
Emmanuel was fantastic asking the questions we really want to know.
@Eman Egnarts .....okay sir.
Emmanuel Acho handled this interview so gracefully. Can’t wait to see his career take off!
@Eman Egnarts bro shut up
EO is amazing... I wish they would give the show to him, but I doubt he would take it. His level headedness and ability to get past the WOKE HAMMER was refreshing.
This show is trash, EO is deserving of a better gig
Woke hammer? This garbage is the definition of woke.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails... you can do better Rachel. I pray that you will get someone that will love you unconditionally like you deserve.That was so sad to see you like that God Bless you🙏✝️🌷
❤
Didn’t look like Rachel was loving anybody African American in those photos
Thank you for this kind message. All of the women on this season can do better. He obviously has commitment issues. At the first sign of trouble in their relationship, he abandoned her. You do not do that to people you love. If he truly loved her, he would have taken the time to work through this. She is not irredeemable. This is a good opportunity for growth, and he chose not to be a part of that.
@@Mel-zv1gf Right, and he also refused to give Michelle two minutes to speak her peace after he blindsided her on the show. My heart goes out to Michelle and I truly hope she meets her person on her season as the Bachelorette. Congrats Michelle!🎉🎉🎉
Long live Rachel! She is terrific.
She dodged a person who was not committal to begin with...I wish her all the best and I hope the Bachelor franchise get men who are actually serious about marriage and finding the one because Matt was not ready at all and it obvious he came on the show for clout and social media followers
Exactly. It's very obvious. Especially because he could easily go back to her after everything that has happened. She didn't mean to do it that much is clear. He wants to be a bachelor famous playboy
He could easily do the work with her but is choosing not to cuz he is non committal
Yes I agree with you. This Matt guy just wanted some publicity! The worst bachelor ever! 🤮
@@daniellap8939 Why? It's not his responsibility. This is what happens when everyone in your community is mostly one complexion.
The other girls the ones who were eliminated or quit an engagement was a dealbreaker for them.
He is a coward for calling her to breakup with her he should have heard her side
She loves him. But he worry for her going through life with people who will refuse to forgive her. He is right . Look at some of the comments.. we have to have a forgiving heart.
I can pretty much guarantee that the only reason he broke up with her is because of the backlash hed receive from the woke police if he stayed with her.
@@rsing3325 doesn't sound like love from his part, does it? Who would he be in relationship with, her or all of the viewers?? What was the goal here, to find love of a woman or of viewers? To mee it seems like the latter
I saw your sincerity Rachel 💖 ...... pray and stay strong
I’m just here for the comments lol
She still loves him. God bless her. People make mistakes. The fact that he could not forgive her for it, means he never truly loved her. Love is forgiving. You could have still grown from this together.
He can forgive her without being with her. Forgiveness does not equal reconciliation.
That man was damned if he did damned if he didn't. If he stayed with her people would crucify him for being with her (especially Blk Women), and if he left people would crucify him for "not loving her".
I TRULY believe she is sorry.
I truly believe she has absolutely nothing to be sorry for. If she weren’t on the Bachelor this would have never even been a topic of discussion
She was given an ultimatum.
@@tertalksevents2day she definitely should be apologetic. If she weren't on the bachelor this wouldn't be a conversation, however she was on the bachelor and it is a conversation. Regardless, she apologized and her apology should be excepted as she continues to educate herself.
@Eman Egnarts yes she does
How do you participate in something and have no idea what it stands for.? Someone has told her what an antebellum party was I ain't buying.
Exactly. She didn’t go “what kinda party is that” she just happened to know the appropriate dress code randomly 👀
He did a fantastic job and he was rightfully fit for this discussion
I think Matt is childish and not mature enough for true commitment. I support the break up, but he should have handled it better for someone he claimed to love.
i le
Why you support the break up then?
Best moment in Bachelor season. Finally 2 people sitting having a civilized conversation. Well done Bachelor show. Well done Acho! This is needed to open people's eyes.
Certainly want to honor and respect feelings from all parties, we don't walk in those shoes. But, his actions do seem to reiterate his fear or inability to commit. Based on how he described the value of commitment and his faith, I would have expected to see a little more grace and loyalty here.
She is better off, she will find someone who truly loves her
I agree. Regardless of this outcome, I don't think Matt knows what he wants at the moment. He seems quite confused as to what love is and what a relationship should be.
Not to be mean here, but I think his mum has him stuck in a mindset that's all about the downfall of her relationship with his dad.
@@ailujd this I agree with completely. He needs to free himself from the experiences he’s been conditioned to. It might be a painful, unfamiliar, and uncomfortable process but it is required if he wishes to see that change within himself so he doesn’t become like his father as he said he was fearful of.
Exactly
this guy was not ready for a commitment after he talked to his mom and bro we was looking for a way out couldn't talk to Michelle after being so cold to her in her hotel room. we should all understand when your young your not perfect can you make mistakes yes can you forgive you should matt was not ready he needs help
Matt was ready, the controversy forced them to separate.
Matt was ready, the controversy forced them to separate.
Matt is almost 30 years old, he’s not that young.
@@treyking1432 he was not ready to commit
Exactly
What a bunch of bull...photos, making a big deal about nothing. What a ridiculous time we live in.
And i find it unfair how rachael’s past was dug up, but what about everyone else’s? are they are just perfect?
You must be young. This isn't a matter of fair or unfair. She was caught. She was wrong. And she's being help accountable.
@@SimplyaLady92 Associating someone having a different opinion than you as being “young” isn’t fair... it doesn’t matter my age, my opinion can differ no matter my age. I realize it is not about fair and unfair, but all I was saying was that if every single girl on that show had their past dug up, lots of things would come out. Simply saying no ones perfect. And I am 23.
@@savannahjohnson4079 well she was the winner of this season so people paid more attention to her. If she was eliminated early on, then I don’t think it would have mattered as much.
wow this one made me cry.. but in a way it is a good thing to feel the hurt bc it makes us all better people.
i am sad bc i think they really would have made a happy couple.
but this break up will help the next generation to be better people , to understand and empathize with each other better .
Thanks Emmanuel for filling in as host. Unfortunately nothing can replace Chris Harrison. We need to forgive Chris and accept his apology. Chris needs to return as the host of the Bachelor/Bachelorette franchise. This show will never be the same without him. Chris has the energy, passion and love for this show that no other host can pull off!
I hear you. I don’t watch the show but I don’t like seeing people get cancelled for a misstep.
Just my thoughts. I love Chris as the host and I cant imagine the show without him
I think my comment was deleted. I don’t believe Matt was ready for a relationship, he was looking for a reason to run. I don’t believe he could take the time and help Rachel heal. He had too many incredible woman and still couldn’t makeup his mind.
@Kevin Moore. Do you know how exhausting it is teaching someone something they should already know??
True, but we don't know what dirt Matt has from his past relationships.
@@KevinMoore5q I'm sure someone did some digging and came up empty.
@@nunook5522 I didn't do any digging on Matt. But he said he's not perfect we all make mistakes and have bad judgment.
I agree with this, and if he truly really loved her, he would help her, grow with her, teach her. not just leave.
The buttons on Emmanuel's ill-fitting suit look like they're one sneeze away from becoming bullets. lol
LMAO!!
🤣
4:03 that sir was her whole entire plan. She laid awake every night anxiously waiting for this moment. She will have her own show soon
Great conversation!! Very handsome dude, but that jacket is screaming at the seams......lol
Emmanuel did such amazing job ... he was like wow
Yeah let’s give him his proper props. The all new improved African American bachelor host!!
Fact check: False
So glad Emmanuel Acho is at the helm. The reason is rating dropping like a rock and with him as host The Bach should be canceled soon enough.
😂😂😂
That is why most people wouldn't bother having an interracial relationship because there is another level of potential complication due to racial comments. Love is already too hard to find without this conflict.
I never thought of it like that. But you don't think that's pessimistic?
1000%
It's so counterintuitive as well bc the two who are in love obviously don't see color....
But to others, you have to try and somehow explain or "defend" your love
Facts! It could be the person or their family. Not risking it.
Most people wouldn’t mind being in an interracial relationship actually. Don’t know what you’re talking about.
IMO another big issue is that the franchise knew this was in her past and booked her as a contestant ANYWAY. Was this to cause issues for Matt? Bc that’s the real intentional, malicious, racism I see.
But lets be realistic if we didnt know where the photo was taken and didnt know the context of the photo lets be real the picture is 3 girls smiling in dresses
But we do know. That’s the problem. Ignorance is bliss right?
@@PhyferRage Karen thats not what im saying im not saying what she did was correct either whats I said was true or false if we didn’t know, the picture shows 3 girls in dresses
@@SteveT. sure but context matters and we know the context here
@@shrutik9673 see this is the problem with cancel culture im not saying You’re wrong im not says shes right im not siding with her im not saying what she did was right im saying “IF” am i crazy for stating the obvious but no theres always cancel culture police ready to blow everything out of proportion
There was more on her than this photo
Damn, Emmanuel deserves all the praise
@Eman Egnarts Yeap, well said! THe left has absolutely lost the plot
He could easily do the work with her but is choosing not to cuz he is non committal and there for clout.
Right
Na, he knows Blk Women and the Cancel Culture would come after him lol he ain't ready for that.
He isn’t responsible for her
...or he just didn't want to be with someone who has that type of past. Seems pretty simple to me. 🤷🏽♀️
@@loveicecream9947 I never said he was.
She never answered the questions directly, she just kept saying she knows it was wrong and she’s working to do better but could never actually answer in regards to what was asked.. which leads me to believe she is only saying all of this because she was caught.
When you grow up in that life style (and yes her up bringing definitely played a part in this) you are conditioned to not see anything wrong with it and you assume it’s okay, which is likely the case for her, and her admitting she never laid awake at night thinking about what might happen if Matt saw the pictures just proves she didn’t understand the severity of what she did. And Because of that and her being so naive to it all her whole life I doubt her mindset would change so quickly and although she may be reading things and listening to things to educate herself; when you lived one way for so long it won’t change overnight if it even changes at all.
If she was being racially ignorant she clearly didn’t know what she did was wrong in the past therefore she wasn’t worried about it coming forward. Now it probably keeps her up at night because she knows what she did was wrong and is now going to be shamed for it for years
She is guilty of being racially ignorant, that's all. She wasn't hiding anything.
@@kenziekimes 👍
@@kenziekimes she was either lying and she knew it was wrong. Or she lied and it was her upbringing that made her racially ignorant. There is no way her parents didn’t know about those parties and what they stood for so they either raised her in that environment and to think it was ok and she won’t admit it, or she was well aware of what it meant from the start but doesn’t want to look worse on national TV.
Idk about you but I wouldn’t dress up and go to a party like that without having some concept of what it stood for, so I don’t believe that she went into it completely blind.
@@juliataylor1829 personally i didn’t even know what that party she did even was or represented either until her photos surfaced and I realized what they meant. I don’t necessarily think that was my upbringing, just unaware. But now I am aware. Idk i genuinely think people can be racially ignorant and not know what certain things mean or meant until later on.
No doubt she should be held accountable for her actions and addressed that what she did was wrong. Although she did thing racially insensitive thing, this should not define who she is for the rest of her life! She was young and arrogant and selfish! This cancel culture of cutting people down is crazy. People make mistakes and that's why we are human. She is working towards improvement and holding herself accountable and that is the most important thing.
I am very proud of you Rachael, you talked very sensible way. This is very hard to balance your emotions as you were really in love with him, but he was not and you were in national media. So be happy. He was just acting in the show without any feelings, it was very artificial.
You conversed very well with Emmanuel and explained about it. Credit should go to your parents as they have brought you up very well.
I wish you the best out of best in your life. Have right choices when you choose your better half. Love you.
I had never heard the word antebellum n would never have know what it meant if I had
This is what Chris Harrison meant by saying "let her say her grace". There has been a noticeable growth of interracial couples over the last several years too. Southerners have the toughest road in all of this (they are in the environment and all the hot buttons seem to be there). When you are young you simply do things without thinking. Its not always a direct reflection on who you are. Hope she's ok.
Her age had nothing to do with this. 18 is more than old enough to be racially aware.
I think everybody's gotta walk in each others shoes to truly understand. Stereotypes are bad. People get hurt. It's normal for people to not understand something they havent been exposed to. Ignorance hurts it's true. But I think what counts in the end is whether a person's actions were intentional or not. You see people taking selfies at different places that have a sad history. Whatever history that may be. It's done all the time even at places linked to wars etc. I really think people will always unintentionally hurt people.
This is really smart to dumb people.
GTFOH.
@@n26061983 ok so yes I'm not the smartest...but can you elaborate?
@@n26061983 Why are you being so disrespectful? Relax
@@ikrazi83 don’t listen to the troll. they’re just projecting their own insecurities on you. i understood what you were saying, and i’m glad i read your comment!
I agree. But lack of intention doesn't reduce the hurt.
Emmanuel is everything
Everything wrong with this show now
This is Mao’s Struggle Sessions come to the shores of America. Have courage!
This is downright insane, she never hurt anyone, people are choosing to be offended over something that does not hurt anyone....she went to a party...
I love this host!!!
Good thing Instagram wasn’t around when I was 23 lol . Chit will come back to haunt you . My friends would have to dig through soil to pull out evidence 🤫
History is not meant to be repeated
So glad that she and Matt found their way back to each other.
A glad social media wasn’t a thing when I was in high school and college.
Yeah, we should cancel history. Like totes. Do it baby. Only NOW nothing before.
Emmanuel looks like Terry Crews
We are going to judge someone for something that happens in 3 year
Not judging. Simply calling out and holding accountable.
I'm not defending her but I heard producers snoop through contestants social media accounts and she should have read the agreement at the casting call.
Are we pretending those pictures were the one my problematic thing ? Bc I saw a lot of things that were brought up besides the plantation party
Exactly why weren't those other things mentioned!! That's why people think she didn't do anything wrong
What other things were brought up about Rachel?
Great job Emmanuel.
I'm sad for both Matt and Rachael if they truly felt that they saw a future spouse in each other....
It's gotten easy to dismiss people for being on these shows for "other reasons" -- but in this case, I don't think we should be so dismissive of, or trivialize things like interracial relationships or a person who grew up with an absent parent. (Physically or emotionally)
Those are sensitive issues, and there is vulnerability in sharing that with a national audience.....
I feel that Rachael is remorseful about her racial insensitivity.
I only hope that IF Matt truly fell in love with her, that this was NOT the last time they will speak.
Both of you need to reflect and pray on it, you have gone through a BEYOND heavy issue very publicly.
True love can survive great pain.
In fact -- some of our greatest pain in this life can be healed with unconditional love, kindness, understanding and honest communication. ❤❤
Unconditional love is for babies only.
Literal babies.
I love your comment!! It acknowledges the severity of the hurt on both sides with grace and understanding that they deserve to process it healthily
She sounds really sad
She lost a ton of weight too /:
Well she got ripped infront of national television because of something she ignorantly did years ago, and I dont even find it FAIR because no ones perfect
@@juliannatrure it didn't happen a decade ago. It happened in 2018. She knew what she was doing. If it happened 2013, it's different then
@@baddie414 what’s your sin??
@@luv2467 i never sinned. I'm actually a good person and not ignorant. Are you mad that I'm not excusing racism?😂
Wow! I'm totally impressed with Emmanuel!
I hope The Bachelorette should make some new ground rules regarding it’s diversity issues between racism, stereotypes, and other problems after what happened during the Chris Harrison issue.
They learned nothing from Rachel Lindsey's season
Virtue - signaled. Good girl.
Now, go to bed.
She was in a Sorority and didn’t know what she was celebrating.... LIES
This is exactly why you should watch what you post
The final
Kiss was a sign for me she didn’t really want to 🤷🏽♀️ see something ppl just want to win an get to the end . But some. wants love . Well he should’ve stuck with well nvm ...
I never felt Matt was into any of the women, maybe with Serena P but honsetly no one else. Why did he even come, it didn't feel like he was truly serious about finding love. He cared more about the fall out with his Dad.
I think once sarah left apart of him left too tbh
Not even Serena P
I feel like everyone makes mistakes, you live and you lear your actions from now will show . If you’ve grown or haven’t . & she does need to figure that out on his own
she said she could give him a list of what she's doing to be better and then didn't tell him a single thing about what she's doing to be better 😂
Please please don't bring her to paradise, please please
I'm pretty sure to that won't happen.
Yes please don't. She doesn't deserve to be torn down even further. She needs to heal and stay away from the corruption of this show.
He’s got great interviewing skills. On point! Asked everything I would’ve hoped he’d ask.
Lets this be a lesson to anyone who wants to come on TV.. Comb through your social medias or has a matter of fact delete it because once you are famous the gloves are off and people will dig for anything esp the cancel culture people whoo chile
Simple advice that very few follow!😹
Prejudice is a willful commitment to ignorance is a made up definition. In the Webster dictionary Prejudice means intolerance or hatred of other races. Rachel going to a Pre Civil War party does not mean she was intolerant or had hatred toward African American people and she should not have to apologize for going to that party and wearing that time period dress with her friends in 2018. She should not be judged when she did nothing bad and I think she dodged a bullet with Matt not loving her enough to get over his insecurities of past events that never happened to him.
👏👏👏👏 Straight up questions yet you are able to articulate in clear and genuine way Acho - best thing happened for this season. New permanent host please! No more B.S
Acknowledgement is the ONLY way forward ✌🏽&🖤
I love Emmanuel.
Also, is she breaking out into stress hives? Or is she just having an allergic reaction on her shoulder?
Stress I’m sure
Stress for sure and guilt. I do think she internalized all of this and is trying to change.
We want the list b
She has it on her ig....not that hard to check....
