So what's the fascination of the TV show Scandal? There's so many obvious reasons. It's a well written, dramatic show of a black woman named Olivia Pope. However I've noticed how big this show is particularly popular with all types of black women. I've read posts from hoodrats to PH. D.'s about Scandal episodes on Facebook. There has to be a particular reason that has women all abuzz about this show. The main character Olivia Pope who runs a company that specializes in media damage control. Apparently she is sleeping with the President Of The United States. Of course he's married, I've read a few blogs about the fascination of the show. It really comes down to the old post-slavery fantasy of a powerful white male wanting a black woman & willing to risk everything for her. In the show the President confesses his love for her, yet let's really look at the situation. As much as he loves her, he's not willing to risk his lifestyle for her. So in turn Olivia is his mistress, but he tells her all the things cheating men tell their mistresses "Oh it's me & you as soon as I..." The usual bullshit rhetoric.
In real life (Black women I'm addressing you) when have you known a powerful, rich, & influential white male to risk his status for interracial love? You are rooting for the side-chick to win? That won't happen. Do remember Halle Berry thought she had a great white guy, but when they had issues he called her a "Nigger Bitch". It's one thing to be angry at a loved one, but why get racial? Unless that's how you always felt & just kept it to yourself. Please know I'm not against interracial relationships, I'm against racial notions that if you date a different race all of a sudden your relationship is better. The show Scandal doesn't hate on black men like some think. It just gives sisters the proper amount of bullshit they need. However do remember a white man called y'all "Nappy Headed Hoes".
This show is popular with a lot of black feminists, cause it plays to that "White man loves me, Negro Bed Wench" mentality. Ladies I just say be careful cause it's promoting that agenda. Just remember if you have a child with this man, you are raising black kids. We all like to use "bi-racial" when things are cool, but you know the truth. So enjoy the TV by all means, I just say don't lie to yourself about this life. I write this out of love & respect.
