Matt James ended up handing out his last rose and, surprisingly, went to Rachael Kirkconnell, who has been in the headlines recently after pictures of her at a formal boom on the subject of antebellum plantation from 2018 re-emergence.
But at a “After the Rose” concert, hosted by Emmanuel Acho, James said he had broken up with Kirkconnell after the controversy.
“When I asked about our relationship, it was in a context that you didn’t fully understand my Black and what it means to be a Black man in America,” James told Kirkconnell during Monday ‘s program. “It broke my heart, because this was the last conversation I thought we would have. I did not sign this conversation. “
Kirkconnell then apologized, saying she had been “living in ignorance” and “didn’t I ask myself what tradition is behind this? What does this represent?”
“I could easily ask myself those questions. I’ve never been able to make that connection.”
