I think I'm the only black woman in America that doesnt like "Scandal"..

Lola hit it right on the head with the amount of material they have to cover.

WTGGT I am with you all the way with most everything you said.

One other point about the fast talking is that women (a lot of us though not all) are extremely communication oriented. He like to be talked to, we like to talk- so it makes sense that a lot of guys would have an immediate bias against the show from that one fact alone. We process information differently.

Trrrrrrruuuue. Women are more verbal.
 
and abc went Huh? we can't hear you

Lol- sorry that you feel that way... maybe one day scandal will have a spin off more heavily rooted in the hard nose political/PR side.

Til then

He manipulates her? Well according to Fitz she OWNS him (I'm sure you know the feeling-you men have all been there) lol

lol Dude killed me with that speech. lmao. NOBODY who really watches the show can say Fitz manipulates that damn fool ass Livia Pope. As a matter of fact

the show kinda goes out of it's way to SHOW

How powerless the Pres actually is. Remember that scene when he was trying to sneak out of the whitehouse? And was like askin secret service and they were like nope... can't do that...

 
well its a gift and curse i guess cause the show started with her being the fixer in d.c. who was connected and it was damn good as that and believable

then it took a hard left.. and tested the affair waters and then the women said HELL YEA

and then more women said HELL YEA

and all the men who watched the shows voices turned into
hey can we go back to the female fixer type show with a black woman in power without her fucking a married white man

and abc went Huh? we can't hear you

I really don't believe the show was centered to be for dudes...

ever. Women as far back as i can remember liked soap operas.

and then dropped the other shoe...the soap opera :lol:
 
:smh::smh:

the president should've been black

Actually I just had a visceral reaction to the idea of the President being black in Scandal.

I feel if the president were black, he would have had a black wife- then that would say something about black marriages not being real/strong (especially since our sitting president is black, it would be hard to keep the line between fiction and reality clearly marked in my head).

Because there have been many white presidencies and many public white marriages that have gone well, I don't see a problem with dipicting Fitz & Mellie's marriage like this. It shows that not all marriages are perfect.

Ironically enough, since functional and loving black marriages have been the exception rather than the rule when depicted by the Media - I wouldn't be able to ride with the show if they showed us in that light. Hypocritical, I know.

He is possessed by her. I will be very mad at Shonda if Fitz turns out to be some type of player with no heart.

Yeah i really would not like that shit at alllllllllllll...Not with the way the show goes. I do not want to see a black president with a black wife cheating on her with Liv..

Whewww. No.
 
How originally calling someone a "punk bitch" or a "faggot" don't you know that's what ghetto bitches like you do ?


Yes fat ....you have excess Visceral fat....

"Ghetto"??? Really? Typical white loser on a black board response.

Telling the truth that you are indeed a PUNK BITCH is not being ghetto. You are nothing to me..a garbage bag, a useless human being who has to get his jollies with online insults.

I bet you are fat as fuck..probably have never seen your dick. Move on loser. You're a punk--deal with it.

Dumb ass bitch.
 
So she is basically sleeping with a married man....and being his concubine right?

Same as slavery dynamics?

Damn a lot of black women are lost......:smh:
 
Wait a minute..

Hold up...

ABC allow men to grab titties on network TV? :eek:

noticed that on last week's episode of Nashville where this woman was hugging hayden panitierre from behind and had her arms all across her titties(there was a brief shot where it looked like hayden was trying to break out the hug with the quickness) :lol:

Absolutely correct, it's a "fictional" show but the subliminal messaging is powerful...Black men ain't shit. A successful financially independent, "powerful??" Black women has to satisfy her emotional and sexual needs as the "side piece" of the white male president-of-the-united-states. She's a modern day Sally Hemmings with the difference being she's "free" as opposed to being his absolute property; a chattel slave. Young Black women in 2013 have "viewing parties" to watch this????....God Damn!!! - too many of our young Black minds are fucked. What percentage of the "chicks" at the 'viewing party' do you think have ever heard of Ida B. Wells????......10% maybe....but I'm sure they all can chant in unison the lyrics from Beyonce's "single ladies".

And this lack of self awareness and enlightment is one reason why we as a ppl are not as successful as we can be....

Its this group that doesn't t even understand that they are spending billions on weave....

Its this group that is getting wet at the mere thought of being a white man's side piece/bed wench.....and they are happily watching this bullshit
