Beautiful eyes, but I sense he’s a bit of a tool. Dunno why.
The eyes kind of remind me of those solid-blue contacts actors wear when their playing blind.
…Which gives me a great idea: The Blind Bachelor! Tagline: How shallow can you be when you can’t see?
Why, why, why is this show still on????
It boggles my mind how many women are willing to embarass themselves on tv to meet a guy who is going to basically embarass them on tv.
American is not ready for a black bachelor. The reason is essentially that America (white Americans) still are very much threatened by black sexuality. Imagine a that black bachelor is chosen. His potential mates would have to be all-black, all-white or mixed. There is no way in hell Americans would sit still while a black man courted 25 or so white women. Americans would still feel threatened by black sexuality if the women were all black (plus it would point out the racial divide that white Americans are always trying to deny exist.) Lastly, if the women were mixed you would still have the issue of black male sexuality plus black women would be pretty pissed off if the black bachelor picked a white woman over a black woman (that’s not assuming he would). VH1 with it’s Flavor of Love, in a very cynical and frankly racist move has tried to resolve these issues with it’s quasi-black bachelor show. They picked an untalented, extremely unattractive buffoon so as to diffuse his sexuality.
Joe you hit it right on the head. Americans are very much threatened by black sexuality. What other reason could there be for niot having a minority bachelor? There are way too many single, beautiful successful SINGLE African American women out there looking for love who I’m sure would take a chance on a show like this. TV execs rely on black viewership to launch networks so it can’t be b/c of fear of ratings being too low. Is Flava Flav all there is?
