ABC Bachelor controversy

Compare and contrast what follows to the problems RWA has suffered through recently:
Victoria Fuller had gotten herself into a lot of hot water. She’s currently on ABC’s The Bachelor. She’s mesmerizingly beautiful with big doe eyes, a natural tan from what she says is a diverse background. But she has a problem. She modeled for a company that had her wear a shirt with logos she was told promoted protecting Marlins and she believed it. She comes from a big fishing town. The problem is the company also puts out confederate flag shirts and white lives matter shirts and caps. She wore a cap with the initials WLM not M(marlins)LM (she thought it was white marlins).

When this was brought up to her she said it was appalling and not her. Apparently, this will come up on the show, and it would be wise if it did, because using appalling isn’t enough to know if there was any malicious intent. Was she duped? Peter Weber said he in no way supports this type of campaign (white lives matter). The woman I witnessed on The Bachelor is adorable, witty, considerate, of mixed race. However, even if she meant no harm and didn’t know what she was wearing, she’ll pay a price for the mistake.

I feel I know this gal, so I’ll blame the manipulators. Regarding who’s best for Peter or who* he’ll choose, I don’t have a clue at this point. You see, Peter will treat each woman equally and with love and fairness and then follow his heart. *The bachelorettes are ethnically diverse as is Peter who’s mom is Cuban, and by the way, a former Miss Illinois.

For my readers out there who say white lives matter, you are missing the point. The BLM movement is saying that they matter just as much as anybody else and they call attention to it, via their logo. If you don’t see this inequity in society, this prejudice against blacks, get off my blog.

I know I have varied from the blog’s main purpose of presenting ideas for the man’s point of view in romance writing. I’ve been writing this blog for many years and have tapped out—aside from an occasional flash of insight—the subject.
