Specifically, Strahan asked him if there's a difference between celebrating slavery in 2018 or 2021. </p><p>"There is not," Harrison replied when asked about the . "Antebellum parties are not OK. Past, present, future, knowing what that represents is unacceptable."</p><blockquote>"I am saddened and shocked at how insensitive I was in that interview with Rachel Lindsay. I can't believe I didn't speak against antebellum parties, what they stand for," said Harrison. "I didn't say it then and I want to say it now: those parties are not OK, past, present, future. And I didn't speak from my heart. And that is to say that I stand against all forms of racism, and I am deeply sorry to Rachel Lindsay and to the Black community."</blockquote>
What Now?
<p>Whether or not an apology is enough remains to be seen. Harrison expressed his desire to return to the show, a desire that's been rebuffed by many fans who feel like his comments represent the franchise in a bad light. In the short term, the latest season will be continuing without Harrison on <a href="https://celebritypage.com/tag/abc" target="_blank">ABC</a>. </p>
