I can see where you're coming from (although I don't think Elsa, Dandy, Gloria, Bette and Dot were poorly written). Desiree was a flat character, but Angela still acted her ass off in the role. I was convinced, and, acting-wise, it's extremely difficult to get an audience to buy into a poorly-written character. I think Kathy and Angela were the only ones that really did it in
Freak Show. The rest... not so much.
Why I gave Desiree a 10.
YAAAAS BISH YAAAS
I'm the furthest thing from being a white male, or a having a "black woman trapped" inside me. 
I gave her a 10 because I love Angela Bassett as an actress, and she played the character well despite the flatness and over sassiness of it. Freakshow was pure ****, and her humor saved it (along with Dandy, who I also gave a 10) , and made it almost enjoyable, for me.
