Abstract
The article applies some of the central ideas about the importance of the Black fantastic developed in the writing of Richard Iton to the study of the television show Scandal. The discussion of the political possibilities available in the first show to have a Black woman in the leading role in many years provides a way to identify the importance of popular culture in the evolution of racial politics. This analysis contributes to the growing literature on the theoretical relationship between gender and race. It argues for the importance of a specific Black feminist criticism in defining strategies for both improving the politics of representation of Blacks in television and when resolving the problems with the politics of respectability.
