Shonda Rhimes takes down TV critic who called her an "angry black woman"

Shonda Rhimes was not happy at all about an article in The New York Times about her and her new show, "How to Get Away with Murder."

Rhimes, the creator of "Grey's Anatomy" and "Scandal," took issue with the story, which praised her for changing the landscape for black women on television but also referred to her as an "Angry Black Woman."

The article begins with, "When Shonda Rhimes writes her autobiography, it should be called 'How to Get Away With Being an Angry Black Woman.'" It goes on to praise Rhimes for doing "more to reset the image of African-American women on television than anyone since Oprah Winfrey," but again brings up the "angry black woman" stereotype by adding that she "has embraced the trite but persistent caricature of the Angry Black Woman, recast it in her own image and made it enviable."

Rhimes took to Twitter to object to the story, including it incorrectly referring to her as the creator of "How to Get Away with Murder" (she's an executive producer).

"How to Get Away with Murder" premieres Sept. 25, the same night "Grey's" and "Scandal" return for new seasons.
