She is determined to take over if he continues to cause her any further head aches regarding her position in the company. Cookie is a well deserved angry woman, but again that is further clarifications for white people to believe we as women are the loud aggressor's, and we tend to emasculate our black men. White people are able to assume Without any further research as to why is this black woman upset, Why does she have the right to feel entitled. They could care less why! Why? Because they already have there minds made up anyway. It is sad to see that we as black people can only make a iconic name for ourselves through drug dealing or being some kind of entertainer (Singer, Comedian,athlete). Unfortunately the viewer watching this show are anywhere from as young as elementary students, which gives them a distort view of what success really means. By glorifying These life styles only further the notion that social media is a huge influence on everyone without much of us really realizing.
