Viola Davis’s award for the outstanding female lead in a TV drama was ground-breaking for women of color in 2015. She stated as much in her acceptance speech. Her use of language at the root is powerful in that it is bold, brave, simple, and straight forward. She uses the rhetorical vehicles of metaphor and inclusion to help the audience visualize the line that is being crossed in the film/TV industry and that opportunity is coming.

The Bronze Buckaroo was not African American
When I first heard about The Bronze Buckaroo, the singing black cowboy, I envisioned someone who looked like Sherrif Bart (Clevon Little) from Blazing Saddles. I thought this individual would be a dark brown African American male but I was wrong. At first glance, I was certain that Herbert Jeffrey was white and I thought to myself "You have got to be kidding." This man was not bronze but what people considered to be "high yellow" which is what I have been called many times. The old saying that one drop of black blood deems a person as black was obviously true.
