Bachelor’s Greer Blitzer is apologizing for past racist online behavior less than 24 hours after scoring Zach’s first impression rose.
“The journey to love is filled with lessons and these lessons are also made on our journey of growth. In my past, I have made some uneducated, ignorant and frankly, wrong comments on my social media accounts,” the 24-year-old Texas native began on Tuesday, January 24, via Instagram Stories. “In particular, I used misguided arguments on Twitter to defend a student who dressed in Blackface as Tupac for Halloween.
She continued: “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. Time and age do not excuse my actions, but this is not a reflection of who I am today.” Earlier this month, Reddit users shared screenshots of Blitzer supporting a fellow teenager who was under fire for wearing Blackface and a Tupac shirt at a party.“The students involved didn’t even know what black face was so my point exactly. It wasn’t an intentional racist act,” Blitzer wrote at the time. “She did not paint herself black because she felt superior to black [people]. Putting white powder on your face isn’t okay either.
On Tuesday, Blitzer concluded her statement by noting that she does not “stand by or condone the damaging opinions and behaviors I share during that stage of my life and will forever regret making those offensive remarks.”
