I’m reblogging this photo because I just read this article about how people should subscribe to HBO so Girls will stay on the air and we will have more shows about women written by women and here is my response:
I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately and it seems like every time they say, “yay for women-helmed shows!” They mean white women. I don’t see Jez or really anyone talking about how we should all support Scandal because it’s written by a Black woman, starring a Black woman and based on a real political strategist who is also a Black woman. That’s f*cking groundbreaking.
I really, really want more Scandal on my computer. I am WAITING for that. I am SO happy that there’s a strong, single black woman as the main character of the show. I am not that pleased with the show Girls because the main characters are practically interchangeable.
