“Scandal’s” Olivia Pope and Fitz Grant
One of the hottest shows on television right now is Shonda Rhimes’ “Scandal.” The hour-long drama centers around Olivia Pope’s professional life of being paid to put out fires while juggling a scandalous affair with the president of the United States. Even though she’s a Black woman and he’s White, rarely does race play a part in their relationship (other than the Sally Hemmings slave references). “Scandal” marks the first time a Black woman has been the lead of a network primetime drama show in 40 years.
