Wait a minute! Hold up! Isn't this (Cookie) the character we love to watch on Wednesday evenings? Isn't this the character Taraji has been praised for since Cookie's inception? Isn't this the same character we create and share memes on every social media site quotting the fascinating comebacks and remarks Cookie makes week after week? This is the same show, and character, that was praised for breaking cultural and sexuality barriers, right? This same show that has been noted in magazines, news outlets and other media outlets for bridging prime time television to to the masses and providing outstanding entertainment each and every Wednesday!
Open your eyes! We produce the stats. The viewers. Even if that wasn't a true statement Empire, and all the characters; namely Cookie and Luscious have become household names in the short time since the show has premiered.
It's no secret; winners of these awards -Globes, Emmy's, etc- actually are named based off the outrageousness of character portrayal. It's no secret Black American has to be BETTER than everyone else in the world in order to be considered equal. It's NO secret. Read below and tell me what you think...
I say Congratulations!! You're an actress. You've worked hard to convey the part. You deserve your moment! You more than worthy of the award! We know how it is and we still RISE to the occasion! Congratulations!!
