Childs: Wait, wait. So you don’t we’ll risk jury nullification with this move? Geneva: I think we can’t generalize. I think people do things for a lot of reasons and I think a generalization is being made here based on…Attorney: OJ! Geneva: Based on a false generalization of African-American overreaction to a slur. This crime happened in prison. This wasn’t a white wine garden party, this was prison. And I think we can argue pretty convincingly that the N word is tossed off with some frequency there. Childs: Then lets go with the N-word. Explains why Church would stab someone two weeks before release. Geneva, you do the questioning. Geneva: With relish.

Okay, if this doesn’t convince you to watch The Good Wife I give up. Geneva Pine schooling a room full of privileged, white attorneys up in arms over the possibility of black jurors acquitting a murderer over the use of a racial slur on the stupidity of their stereotypical assumptions about black people is something that just doesn’t happen on network television. WATCH THIS SHOW.

Julianna: I got this letter that it said: “Why don’t you just call it ‘The good slut’?” I walk down the street and there are a lot of people saying: “Don’t go with Will, you are cheating on your husband!!” And it is amaaazing to me that in…2012…I’m like: “Have you seen the show? He fucks whores! Not just hookers, people we worked with; and, by the way, I left him!!” What?? And she is the slut!? That’s what shocks me the most about our world. Most of the letters that come in are from christians, people that see a woman who is still married, who is not legally divorced so it doesn’t matter what the husband has done or that she is having this affair even though they are separated.
