Christopher Johnson and Nathaniel Claybrooks went on an open casting call in Nashville for the 17th season of the hit show The Bachelor. They were taken to the side and not called back. So on Wednesday they're planning a class action suit alleging discrimination.
I don't quite know why they would be surprised. Especially since for the first 16 seasons, yes 16, the bachelors have all been shamelessly White. Not only that. I don't know if they've noticed, but most of television is White except for BET, Centric, and TV One. I mean come on, even Oprah's network OWN barely caters to Black people and Oprah is Black. (Well at least on the outside.) And do White people really want to see a Black bachelor? I doubt it. Also, don't you guys know that if they do ever cast a black guy, that it'll be a Black guy so White acting that it will be nauseating to watch. Plus they would probably have mostly White girls on the show anyway. So why would you even want to be somewhere where you clearly haven't been wanted for 16 seasons?
So to my two homeboys that want to be on one of the Whitest shows on television. You know darn well why you'll probably lose that lawsuit and definitely won't be the first Black bachelor...
"It's Because You're Black!"
