Kerry Washington
We’re not really sure how to feel about Kerry Washington’s little bout of reverse racism. Recently, Kerry told Ebony magazine that she wouldn’t have agreed to star in Scandal if the president on the series was a black man.
“I was a little concerned because [the character has] a scandalous relationship with the [occupant of the] White House.
“I thought, ‘If the president on the show is Black, I will not do the show.’ Because to me, it was too important a moment. I didn’t want to do anything that compromised my relationship with the [president] or that made it seem like I had an insider view on the Obama presidency.”
