Rachel went live to discuss the Hannah B situation

Okay here’s my take. Let me first preface this by saying that I am a Black woman. I’ve been a fan of Hannah for a long time and was deeply disappointed when everything went down. I’m glad Rachel wanted to educate people on the history of the n-word but it also bugged me she went live in the first place because she needs to stop being the token Black person in Bachelor Nation. She does not need to talk about every Black issue. She is not the spokesperson of the Black community. It is very obvious that she is tokenized by this franchise and wish she would stop giving into that, but it’s sad that she feels like she needs to do this. As far as what she said about Hannah, I thought it was a little unfair that she didn’t grant Hannah a little more time to go live and apologize. Perhaps Hannah is taking the time to educate herself before trying to educate other people. AGAIN, I am not justifying Hannah’s words/actions, but thought there was maybe a better way to go about this all.
