Kerry Washington: “I Would Not Have Done ‘Scandal’ If President Were Black”

[BigMan]

It is more of a disrespect to future black president(s). A black president needs to be a normal thing from now on. Why would she feel it is disrespectful if the show has a black president that isn't Obama? But it is OK that it is a white president?

because she says people will compare the black presidents actions to Obama, giving a negative image to the idea/image of a black president. its a double negative, she can't win with y'all either way. if there was a black president y'all would be criticizing the show as being disrespectful to the president

 

[MikeBrownsJob]

Who cares. She isn't attractive and I've never seen the show. Didn't read the article either. Hadn't seen Django. Won't see Django. Don't like Tarantino.

Cause white folk are going to say see that nikka on ABC, Obama just like that nikka. It plays into the stereotype of black male oversexualization.

bytch was probably in paradise during that whole django production. She a modern day comfort girl

ruthless.

Why they all got to be the same though?

It is like me comparing the "Scandal" president to Bush/Clinton because he is white. It is foolish.

But it doesn't play a part in white male oversexualization?

If she cared so much about race relations she would of gave 'Scandal' the deuces. 'Scandal' makes black folk look bad regardless. Could at least give a brotha a leading role on ABC.

 

[Premeditated]

I haven't watch the showed, but I bet the reason it's doing so well is because all these black women who wish to one day rest in the arms of white man, are eating it up. Kerry is practically acting out the cac whorshipping black women fantasy.

 

[Lewis Black]

So I never seen this show and I decided to youtube it

Aight...so i type in olivia pope and this vid comes up



Watched it all the way through brehs and it was c00n central

1. Her and grandad cac flirting

2. She getting fingered and kissed by another cac (president)

3. Last scene another old cac looking at her like " ima tear this ****** p*ssy up"

These are the type of shows our black women are watching ?

Are you white?

 

[Malik]

Either way its a bad look.

Black president and people would compare it to Obama, oversexualization with black men, etc.

White president and she looks like a black cumrag for a powerful white man that's never gonna leave his wife and have a legitimate relationship with her.

3 points for this man.

 

[Reverend Jesse Jackson]

Black people should be able to be just be regular individual people that are different and makes mistakes like anyone else. Running away and avoiding the problem will not help with white folks opinions. If anything it will hurt because nothing will change. It will be status quo

 

[Just Curious]

SALTS don't try to disgrace her political platform because she is playing a character. Scandal is the GOAT btw.

 

[MikeBrownsJob]

I've always thought that she was part of that "something new" movement amongst black women. I just don't trust those kind of women.

Interracial dating amongst bw/wm has been going on since the beginning of time. Nothing new about it and they are the trailblazers. Shout out to the Lovings

But it doesn't play a part in white male oversexualization?

On numerous boards this false meme of an Akon song plays true. Plenty of shows have had black leads. Look them up. Just like bw complaining that this type of union is rarely shown when throughout history on television that is false. I don't know what it is, but both sides just love that victim role.
