When I first heard of the NY Times piece which blatantly disrespected Shonda Rhimes, Creator of Scandal and a few other popular television shows as well as Viola Davis, I was mortified. It was like here we go again with the whole #AngryBlackWomen stereotype of which I am so over. I tweeted about it and joined in a few discussions, but didn’t get an opportunity to post about it on BlackWomenStandUp.com. Seeing this beautiful post that sums up exactly how I feel here on Awake Black Woman, I had to take the time to reblog.
Thank you for this post Awake Black Woman. Viola is Beautiful:) The #AngryBlackWomanSyndrome does not apply to us all!
#BlackWomenStandUp
Peace and Love
