Cheryl
Lynn isn't quite sure who she is, but
she's pretty sure of what she wants to be. A warrior woman. A
bad-ass mamajama.
Perhaps an earth goddess extraordinaire. She spends her days
abusing keyboards
and screaming at computer screens while she waits for her
cult following
to finally show up.
She changes her mind more often than extras in rap videos change thongs.

Complaining about Angelina Jolie getting the role of the Fox over a minority actress is like demanding the return of BET: Uncut because there just aren't enough black women on television.
ETA: Can someone point me to a black woman who actually read Wanted and still wanted a black woman in the role of the Fox? Who didn't feel like she was being served one big Jezebel stereotype with some Sapphire on the side? Yes, there are black men who enjoyed the series, but hell, I know black men who think Oochie Wally is a damn fine song and video. I'm not saying there aren't any black women who enjoyed Wanted, I just haven't found any yet. Damn, I wanted to do cartwheels when I found out Angelina got that role.
ETA 2: And just like in hip hop, we have no way to combat the stereotypes because we don't really have a voice.
