With a new Bachelor season comes a new racism scandal
, one Reddit user posted a thread featuring images of Blitzer sporting Trump/Pence stickers in 2016, along with screenshots of her defending another peer’s use of Blackface.“The students involved didn’t even know what black face was so my point exactly. It wasn’t an intentional racist act,” Blitzer allegedly wrote on Twitter.
In another Tweet, she wrote: “This previous incident was dumb not racist? She did not paint herself black because she felt superior to black ppl.”Sock Affairs wants you to enrobe your feet in their officially licensed socks with art from Pink Floyd and AC/DC records.In her apology, the Houston native says the old tweets are not a reflection of her thoughts on the matter today.
“I am deeply sorry to those I have hurt, especially those within the Black community, not because these screenshots have resurfaced, but because I ever shared these harmful opinions at all,” she says. “Time and age do not excuse my actions, but this is not a reflection of who I am today.”“I do not stand by or condone the damaging opinions and behaviors I shared during that stage of my life and will forever regret making those offensive remarks,” she adds.
