IA. The show is called Scandal for a reason. I understand black womens feelings towards it, but the men can have a seat. They aren't championing for change when these black rappers, actors, and athletes are running around with everything except us on screen and off.

I am not bothered with Olivia character.
 
But, her facial gestures are turning me off. I wonder if she watches herself more.
 
However, I see both sides of the argument.

i think too many ppl would differ on how to "change" her character and just not work.

the only change of Olivia that I would really support was to get back to being focused on clients (like in S1) instead of playin capn save a ho w/ Fitz, who just should have stayed in a coma for the rest of the damn season.

You mean a drama? Probably not. White audiences don't like to see blacks in serious roles without whites in a cast.

I was actually surprised by this bold reference except Jefferson raped his slave who was his wife's half sister.

Since I watch tv for entertainment purposes only, I must be enlightened to the Balant racist undertones that this black sheep doesn't see....so explain:
Christina yang(Asian) married to the isiah Washington
Chief webber married to Adele webber (black) although he spent years in an affair with mer's mom a white lady he is now in a relationship with another successful black women dr Avery
Miranda Bailey-married and divorced a black man who was unsupportive to her career is now married to another black man who loves her child and is supportive while trying to better himself
Jackson Avery and his relationships

Sam with Addison, Sam with Naomi, Sam with the other obgyn
Naomi with Sam Naomi with archer Naomi with the stem cell dr

Finally Olivia pope, Olivia pope with Edison and Olivia pope with

Let me know something

Obviously I'm being facetious.....shonda has a myriad of black characters in relationships ...so why are all these random people coming out of rotten wood trying to spoil the fun ]]> Fri, 01 Feb 2013 10:30:24 +0000 http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/star-jones-blasts-scandal-and-olivia-pope_topic354121_post10112295.html#10112295 <![CDATA[Star Jones blasts Scandal and Olivia Pope : it&#039;s very hard for me to...]]> http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/star-jones-blasts-scandal-and-olivia-pope_topic354121_post10112122.html#10112122 Author: ThoughtCouture
