"Scandal" (TV series), social constructs and BlackLivesMatter

The most recent episode of Scandal (ABC, May 5th--Shonda Rhimes) talks about race as a social construct and BlackLivesMatter. For readers that may think that pop culture does not add to the dialogue, think again. Shonda Rhimes regularly pushes her viewers to think about race, racism and racialization, but often indirectly and subtly. In this episode she was overt and direct. Interesting--everyone should watch it.
