Former Bachelor Matt James gets Deep on Love and Race

Being the first Black Bachelor comes with its fair share of baggage, but Matt James is so much more than his stint on ABC’s hit reality dating TV show. He’s also big in the crypto game, buying and selling different digital currencies on the new frontier of economics. Watch Matt James reminisce on his time on The Bachelor and rehash the Rachel plantation controversy in this episode of The Carlos Watson Show.

He had no control over what he is...He has a black father and a white mother, so he is going to reflect BOTH races, because he IS both races...Let him be who he is without judgement...

His "friends" would say "he is not full Black" as a compliment. 🤦🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️3:49. Matt, that's not a compliment!!!

Thank you Carlos for this truly fascinating interview with Matt James, interesting person that he is. Your interview allowed us to see so many sides of Matt that take us to aspects of the real person that so many of us were introduced to as the Bachelor with all the controversy that erupted and that has continued to follow him, especially after he chose Rachael. His book should be intriguing and will help us to appreciate him all the more. I can't wait to read it.

Why did they call him the first Black bachelor when he is biracial. Black and biracial are not the same.
