Victoria Fuller Admits Being Part Of Problem, Vows To Use Platform To Educate In Response To George Floyd Death
Bachelor alum Victoria Fuller is one of the many reality stars speaking out against the untimely death of George Floyd. She has been speaking out a lot in regards to his alleged killing. Victoria has pledged to do her part to help the racism problem within the United States. She has been posted numerous Instagram stories in support of her fellow Americans.
Victoria shares moving photo and message on Instagram
Victoria shared a photo on Instagram sent to her from Virginia Beach. Of course, that is where Victoria calls home. The pictures showed the protesters and the police trying to do their job. The pictures spoke volumes, but so did Victoria’s words.
She started out saying who sent her the photos. Victoria continued on saying, “I’d first like to say, I have been a part of the problem. And for that I am sorry. Being naive, staying silent, or not educating ourselves of the ongoing racism in our country IS contributing to the problem. Period.”
Victoria continued, “I don’t want to be a part of the problem. I’ve taken time to educate myself, read, listen & although I can never fully grasp or understand I am willing to keep learning. This isn’t a trend. This is a societal problem that needs change. & hopefully I can use my platform as a way to educate and continue everyday to learn from others.”

She shares what she has learned about BLM
Victoria shares what Black Lives Matter stands for. She went on to talk about white privilege and what it means to her.
She continued saying, “Far too many of us who are closer in proximity to being white erroneously believe that we do not have to take the issues of systematic oppression seriously or don’t feel the need to speak up. So now we have a choice. We can continue to use unearned privilege to remain ignorant, or can put aside the color of our skin in order to see clearly and live differently.”
She concluded this part of her post by sharing a quote. Victoria then said, “Decide. Do better. Be better. #blacklivesmatter #justiceforgeorgefloyd.”
Victoria shared thoughts on what can be done
She shared 5 ways to help and educate yourself. Victoria said first to educate yourself. Second, she said to read a book on the topic. Third, she suggested watching a good documentary about it. Fourth, Victoria made the suggestion of donating to an organization. Finally, she said everyone should take time to reflect.
Victoria said, “And take time to REFLECT. Something that I personally asked myself before deciding to post this ‘in what ways does my proximity to whiteness afford me privileges that are not extended to Black people?’”
Victoria has been quarantining with former Bachelor Chris Soules in Iowa. The two seem to be growing closer amidst all the worldwide chaos. Sources have said the two are dating and already exclusive.
