What happened to Victoria Rowell on Y&R?

I'm black and don't use the term negro nor does anyone around me really.

I'm also black and I use far worse. ;)

*sigh*

I wasn't going to address the sad attempt to derail this thread over my use of the word 'Negro', but I may as well (out of respect to SFK).

In general, I use 'Black', 'Negro', and 'colored' interchangeably (i.e.: Black people, Negroes, colored folks, etc.) as a part of my vocabulary whether it'd be in a matter of fact, positive, or derisive manner.

In this case, I am using this word in a derisive manner because it definitely applies to the Negroes who (have) willingly drank/drunk the Kool-Aid about Victoria Rowell being "crazy" for bluntly speaking out on the blatant racism in the soap world on and off-camera.

Back on topic:

Hearing that TIIC shut down Vicky's suggestion of bringing Debbi Morgan on the show is making my feelings of pissitivity fresh again. These assh0les can't be bothered to create a defining soap event in bringing two powerhouse actresses together on the same screen, but they'll bring on a reject from the last American Idol season that I bothered to watch? SMDH.

Please DON'T. This is a DISCUSSION board and I'm SO over being told what can and can't be discussed. Victoria Rowell is a popular daytime actress who many fans miss- there's no reason why her name should dare not be mentioned on a SOAP OPERA message board. It's ridiculous and silly, all because some people on here aren't grown up enough to handle a mature discussion about a sensitive topic.

I for one am done catering to the idiots.

Rowell quit Y&R. The controversy comes from her accusations of racism after leaving, saying some of her co-workers were threatened by her as a powerful black woman. She also spoke about the lack of diversity behind the scenes and made some valid points. Then Peter Bergman came out in the press and called her "CRAZY." It's been non-stop controversy ever since.

After I read this response I had to log in and say Thank You!!!

I love Vicky and Dru's presence is sorely missed on the show to this day.

But I think her Tweets do her cause more harm than good. It's as if she's out to prove the people who kept her off the show right. In the end, what is she gaining with this? I like it for pure entertainment, but it's not going to do her acting career any good - especially in an industry that will easily use it against her.
