Greer Blitzer is addressing THOSE racist screenshots… ICYMI, we reported Monday that the 24-year-old Bachelor contestant had some pretty unsavory screenshots of her tweets leaked from back in 2016.

In the now-deleted posts, Greer defended a fellow student at Lamar High School in Houston, Texas (not Greer), who dressed up in blackface as Tupac for a party, which was allegedly arranged as some sort of twisted initiation ceremony by upperclassmen, according to KPRC.

At the time, the reality star claimed the sophomore, “didn’t even know what black face was,” so it wasn’t, “an intentional racist act.” She added that the girl “did not paint herself black because she felt superior to black [people],” and then dug herself into and even deeper hole, complaining: Where do they find these people??
