GLADIATORS UNITE!!! (DISCLAIMER TO THE SCANDAL HATERS)

AND FELLAS,

BEFORE YOU GO WITH THE SIDE CHICK TALK AGAIN, I'LL SAY THIS:

UNLESS YOU WERE MAKING FUN OF SARAH JESSICA PARKER AND KIM CATTRALL OF SEX AND THE CITY FOR MESSING AROUND WITH MARRIED MEN AMONG THE OTHER THOUSANDS THEIR CHARACTERS HAD ON THE SHOW, HAVE SEVERAL UNCOMFORTABLE SEATS AND SHUT THE HELL UP ABOUT KERRY WASHINGTON COLLECTING HER PAYCHECK.  THE DOUBLE STANDARDS IN LIFE ARE SO REAL.

PEOPLE DON'T EVEN REALIZE HOW IGNORANT THEY ARE ABOUT THIS TOPIC.  SO OTHER ACTRESSES GET A PASS FOR ANY CHARACTER THEY PLAY, BUT NOT KERRY!  SHE BETTER BE CLAIR HUXTABLE - (SIDE NOTE: HOW DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW PHYLICIA RASHAD WAS IN REAL LIFE?!  IT WOULD BE SO FUNNY IF SHE SLEPT AROUND BACK IN THE DAY, BUT I WONT SHADE MAMA HUXTABLE...I LOVE HER LONG TIME).

BLACK WOMEN WILL NEVER WIN WITH SOME OF YOU MISERABLE FOLK THOUGH.

ANYWAY...LET'S GO LADIES AND GENTS!!!


((POPCORN WILL BE IN THE DAMN MICROWAVE!!!)

Leave Olivia Pope ALONE!!!! ((In Honor of Ms. Chris Crocker))

Seriously though.  Black dudes, you slay me with these side chick memes about Olivia Pope (some of you just want a laugh or 5, I'm with that) but the rest of you bastards are poking at this chick being dead ass serious like you have a valid point.

FACT:   THIS IS A FICTITIOUS CHARACTER PLAYING A FICTITIOUS ROLE ON A FICTITIOUS SHOW!!!!

I'm only writing this rant because it's Thursday and I got my Gladiator goggles on for Scandal to come on tonight but more than that, this is a good example of the divisive mindsets that black folks have against one another.

When I was a kid in the 90s, shows like Melrose Place, Knots Landing, Dallas, etc. were on and they were HIT SHOWS just like Scandal - except for one thing.  The lead character was not a black woman.  It was also not a black woman being judged for her script.

All those old shows had skanks sleeping around with everyone and when I say skanks, I mean the MEN TOO.  Everybody had been with everyone -- sons were uncles to their cousins and some more shit.  Nobody was calling Heather Locklear on Melrose Place a "side anything".  She was called a "steamy actress who stops at nothing to get what she wants".

So why can't we be just as non-judgmental to Ms. Kerry Washington who has come quite a long way from her role in "Save the Last Dance"?  Hmmm?

Like I said, I'm all for a good laugh and an opportunity to poke at some funny stuff, but for the wives/girlfriends who feel "some kinda way" about her being banged by the married President, I just hope you exhibit that same discrimination towards any other chick in any other show or movie that contains all those controversial elements that have made movies what they are since the beginning of time.

Don't get me wrong, if you don't like Scandal, that's your choice as a citizen of the world. But things should be measured fairly.  Scandal is a damn good show with a great cast of people - the main character happening to be a Black woman who should be allowed to do her thing without being criticized for her script.

Some of y'all watch horror movies and love them.  Guess that means you worship the Devil now.  C'mon son.

Let entertainment be what it used to be before REALITY TV erased the line between real and fake.
