Controversial 'Bachelor' winner Rachael Kirkconnell just discussed those Old South photos, anti-racism and her relationship with Matt James.
“Everyone, when they saw that photo, including Matt, it was like that had just happened,” Kirkconnell said. “For them, it was brand new, but for me, it was years ago.”
The 24-year-old talked about how it was difficult to have people perceive her as “the exact same person” from three years ago and said her departure from sororities and Greek life happened soon after the formal. She admitted she thought nothing of the event at the time. “I’m so ashamed that I basically participated in that unknowingly because I’m sitting here in my own little privileged, selfish world. It was nothing more than an Instagram opportunity…really I’m not even asking myself why we dressed up like that.”Chris Harrison, host of “The Bachelor,” says he is “stepping aside” after making controversial statements about race.
The reemergence of the photos and all that followed made her realize the difference between “being not racist and anti-racist,” she said. Coupled with the murder of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter protests that ensued Kirkconnell said, she realized there was more internal work to be done and added that she doesn’t “speak to certain family members anymore.”
“That was probably the first time I realized there are layers to this. You can obviously be overtly, openly racist, but you can also have implicit bias and these racial tendencies within you that you don’t even know about or you can be racially ignorant,” she said.
