2013 is shaping up to be a great year for African American actresses on the small screen. For what may be the first time, three African American women are starring in TV shows that are not based on ensemble casts or situational comedies.
Taraji P. Henson stars in the criminal science fiction thriller, Person of Interest, Kerry Washington stars in the political thriller Scandal, and Meagan Good is starring in the criminal who-done-it show, Deception. Henson, Washington, and Good form a core of African American actresses who are bringing their big screen acting chops to television.
These characters are not a total victory for African American actresses – Henson’s job is to cover up the mess and loose ends of the male characters, Washington derived most of her power from her personal relationship with the president, and Good’s immediate supervisors are both men- however it is progress none the less
Allison Samuels of Newsweek wrote “For nearly 30 years, no black woman was cast as the lead of a major network drama.”.
LOVE her, but why have you suddenly started making her ~your actress like Jolies Lips. It's kinda annoying to see you stuff Kerry Washingston threads down our throats as almost all of them are ignored & unread. Sorry, we were ALL thinking this.

Nobody is stuff her down anyones throat. She's a good actress, that i like. How is that any different from the numerous amount of other stans here? And how am i trying to be like Jolie? They have other people on this forum who love/stan for different actresses. at ki at going unread and ignored when you ran in here just to post that. You're looking into this way too deep.
Oh my. Her show is so overrated. The drama in the walking dead is more believable then the crisis management cliche drama in Scandal. I couldn't even get passed season one when i rented the series.

So you put the whole show together and knew all the motives from jump street?
