Brandon Delagraentiss - she acting but we live it. That's why this speech resonates to bw - it's the truth & it cuts deep. Time for bw to b selfish & think of herself. We carry everybody's burden & we don't even get a thank you from bm- it's cool tho new choices & learn from our predecessors/ or do the same and stay drowning.

A word! "Whose out here working for me, carrying my burden, building me up..." A man will leave you with everything you helped him acquire, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and financially for someone who is not even half the person you are. Absolutely! I've seen it, experienced it first hand.

You better believe it. "Blackistain" doesn't own me any more.

This follows the fictional tradition - if you're going to write the truth, it better be through the mouth of the villain, antagonist or foil.

Absolutely hands down the best monologue of the show. This scene was perfect. I love her

Gave me chills. Gave me chills. JESUS!!!! She did that! Best monologue EVER!!!!

“Damn shame. I tell you... being a black woman. Be strong, they say. Support your man, raise your man, think like a man. Well damn, I gotta do all that? Who’s out here working for me, carrying my burden, building me up when I get down? Nobody. Black women out here trying to save everybody and what do we get? Swagger jacked by white girls wearing cornrows and bamboo earrings. Ain’t that a bitch? But we still try. Try to help all y’all. Even when we get nothing. Is that admirable or ridiculous? I don’t know.”

This won't nothing but the truth! BW step back and let BM be men because helping them in any way makes them resent u because they are defeated. When all in all we're at the bottom trying to climb up right along with them. But when they get up they never extend a hand back to help u. Focus on your own rise u deserve it. Don't let no one make u feel guilty about giving a fck about yourself & your own self preservation because if u don't who will.

That part is true men never ask for us to act like them cause they fear we will actually stand up together that would put them in a bad position but they do complain about masculinity when they say women should grow a pair of balls. Why wouldi want that why is it that they say we sensitive when they fucking call women every name in the book but get pissed off when u refer to them as a woman what is offensive about being a woman I don't get that dumb arrogant way of thinking.

Wow what a performance these 3 are tv Gold moma pope, papa pope and olivia pope what a family :).

Who is still watching this lovely woman powerful performance in February 2021?

I swear this has so much more meaning in 2020✊🏾

She busted hell wide open with this scene.

"Black Women out here trying to save everybody and what do we get? Swagger jacked by white girls wearing cornrows and bamboo earrings" CTFU

Welcome to Momma Pope's TED talk!

chills I had man about this....she is 1000000% right no matter which way you want to look at this....plain truth

Phenomenal and best part of the episode, I agree everything what she said

Hands down the realest shit I heard in years!!

this!!!!❤❤

Mama and Papa Pope give the best speeches. Both of them have killed or blown up something. Now we see why Olivia is all screwed up. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree

She DESERVE to have her own show. 😎😎

THAT WAS POWERFUL

Amen.

"Is That Admirable Or RIDICULOUS?? "I Don't Know??"

Real talk, it ain't like she's lying and I totally agree with her

Gave me chills😳❤️

Brilliant 👏👏👏👏 Mama Pope was 🔥🔥🔥

This is the ABSOLUTE truth!

👍✊🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌💪. Maya Pope spoke that truth!

Whoooaaaa!! Tell the truth n sell it NOT!!! Tell it Mama spill that Tea!!! This is such a great treat!!

Papa and Mama Pope would be the only reasons why I would watch Scandal.

This scene alone has SO many layers to it with the lines she says you can honest write a book on it.

Mama hope the best

And the Emmy goes to.....

I’m gonna learn this monologue one day

If ever there was an Emmy award performance, THIS was it.

Imagine Maya Pope raising Jake Ballard. WHOA! He won't be anybody's bitch

The chills… 😩

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

BLACK WOMEN STOP RIDING FOR MEN WHO ONLY GIVE YOU 15%, STRUGGLE LOVE IS NOT WHAT YOU DESERVE OR SHOULD ENDURE IN THE NAME OF LOYALTY, LOVE OR HAPPINESS.

THE TRUTH AND BEST SCENE EVER!!!!

Deep!

Boom!

This was the truth in a few minutes

Had to listen to the "swagger jacked" line about 4 or 5 times...She said a WORD!

True

Damn i want Papa Pop and Mama Pop to get back together again and adopt me

😢True❤️

Damn!

Preach👏👏👏

I remember this shit!!! My God!!!

Holy shit. This is good.

That's why black women should put their health first than everyone else second

16 Swagger Jackers thumbs downed this monologue! #SOLILOQUY
