Two black men are taking "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" to court with a lawsuit that claims the reality shows are blocking contestants of color from starring roles. Nathaniel Claybrooks and Christopher Johnson filed a federal lawsuit in Nashville Apr. 18 against the popular TV shows claiming they are engaged in a pattern of racial discrimination that intentionally excludes people of color.
