...in the episode where she's writing the play and Mrs. Flicker wants to change the last line. The line says "This is one black woman who going to reach her dreams." Mrs. Flicker suggests that Thelma take out the word black, saying "What's wrong with that?" To which Thelma replies "Everything. Because the play's not about being black, it's about being a woman. And the woman just happens to be black." If that's the case, what was the big deal with Mrs. Flicker taking out the word black? And why did Thelma go out of her way while writing the play to bring up the character's skin color if the play is supposed to be directed at women in general? Anyone else catch this?

good catch. :clap: good question.

I personally think a lot of black women will say "this black woman will..." when talking about themselves, it's just an expression. I've been known to say "Don't let my blackness come out" especially when someone pisses me off :lol:

But I get what you're saying

I have to agree, very good catch

I agree as well. I thought about that and said, "that is no big deal".
