As many of you (African American women) prepare to
watch a TV show that features a black woman be a whore monger, I find it not
only strangely interesting but shamefully perplexing that you are so captivated
by a show that promotes an erosion of morality. Then again…I should not be so
mind-fogged considering it is the female that made soap opera actors
millionaires! Be truthful...be of fact: The main character is a home wrecker...a
relationship sabotager...a cheater...a 2-bit high dollar female disgrace. So I
ask, does this show Scandal garner so
much attention from black females (who are by personal admission and experience
disgusted by adulterous affairs) induce some ridiculous sense of power that you
have forfeited as a result of choosing the wrong man or lost because you have
become the New Slave of Corporate America? Also in/with fact, Scandal would not be as popular if it
featured a fine black man involved with a white woman who is married. African
American women have always deplored the interracial relationship that features
a black man sexing a white woman. Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Tiki Barber, even
Blair Underwood has been bashed by black women because his new television
series character is in relationship with a white woman. Are you, God's creation
of decency, so mind damaged...so emotionally handicapped that you will glorify
what you truly despise? Where is the black feminist condemnation...as there would
be if the situation/scenario displayed the opposite? I have said time and time
again that African American women are beginning to take on male traits...the
detrimental characteristics that demean and that will eventually destroy black
male-female interactions and connections. Some of you, black female fans of Scandal, will blow off my critical
commentary as nothing but a black man enraged by a beautiful black woman
banging a white man. Some will say that I am being overly critical of a well-written
and remarkably produced television show...that I am making my discomfort out to
be more than what it is, a TV show that provides entertainment. But, I have
also said that what’s praised is also a Want and a Desire…like the most wanted
and desired boy in high school by the hot-in-the-pants girls is the Flunky…The
Bad Boy…The Baby Boy type. Actually, this juvenileness plays itself out well
beyond secondary school! By any chance do you, the queen of civilation, desire
to be a slut - or are you that woman who was made into a slut by the most sought-after
man?
