.BachelorABC contestant Greer is apologizing for past Twitter comments about Blackface
contestant took to her Instagram Story on Tuesday to apologize for her past tweets defending a Blackface costume. ET has reached out to ABC for comment.
“The journey to love is filled with lessons and these lessons are also made on our journey of growth,” she wrote. “In my past, I have made some uneducated, ignorant and frankly, wrong, comments on my social media accounts. In particular, in 2016, I used misguided arguments on Twitter to defend a student who dressed in Blackface as Tupac for Halloween.
“She did not paint herself black because she feels superior to black ppl,” Greer wrote in one tweet, adding in another, “Putting white powder on your face isn’t okay either. That didn’t make the news did it?” “I apologize if this offended you but you must understand it was not initially supposed to be perceived that way at all,” she wrote in another post, before adding in a different tweet, “The students involved didn’t even know what black face was so my point exactly. It wasn’t an intentional racist act.”
