Across the White world, stupid, pathetic White men are learning an interesting lesson: in order for an organization to be successful, it has to have a Black female running it.

Here are a few examples of organizations which have learned this difficult lesson and installed Black females in charge.

TV Tropes:

• Amanda Waller, in DC Comics‘ ARGUS, Cadmus, Suicide Squad, and related organizations, is widely recognized as one of the few people who can make
• In the comic book version of Wanted Wesley’s emasculating boss is a black woman.
• Psiren, the leader of Psi-Cops from Marvel Comics‘s Warlock.
• Dominique, the only black character in Scott Pilgrim, is the boss at Steven Stills, and later the title character’s day job.
• Clark’s editor on The New Yorker in Superman Secret Identity.
• Appears in the Paul Verhoeven Starship Troopers film. Sky Marshal Dienes, a middle aged white male, is replaced by Sky Marshal Tahat Meru, a Hawaiian. Her attitude and general demeanour speaks to this trope.
• Knight and Day: Isabel George, the CIA’s Director of Counter-Intelligence fits this trope as she is DaChief, is impeccably dressed, and is a bit of a hardass. At the end of the movie, she explains to Miller (Tom Cruise), who is restrained in a hospital bed, that the agency will “transfer you to a secure facility tomorrow… for your safety”. He stated earlier in the film that when agents say this to you it means that they plan to kill you.
• In 1986, audiences applauded when the captain of the USS Saratoga was revealed to be a black woman (played by Madge Sinclair) in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.
  • She also played Captain Silva La Forge, mother of Geordi.
• The Chief Judge in Dredd, whose meetings with the title character bookend the movie.
• Lucinda Washington, the editor-in-chief of the Chicago office of the Global Weekly in the Left Behind book series, and mother of Lionel Washington in the spinoff Left Behind: The Kids series. In the 2000-2005 Cloud Ten Pictures film series, Verna Zee filled the role of Buck Williams’ boss, being a Composite Character version of herself and Lucinda.
• Ahuda from the first Provost’s Dog book is this for the Jane Street Kennel.  She gets Goodwin, one of the two best cops in the Lower City, to do what she says. When Beka is mocked for falling into a pile of fish the night before, Ahuda steps into the training yard and amply demonstrates that none of the other trainees are immune to such mistakes either. There’s also her Badass Boast to a misbehaving criminal.
  “Here, I am Queen Bitch, and you will muzzle yourself.”
• In Island in the Sea of Time and its sequels, Marian Alston rises from being a minor captain in the US Coast Guard who was about to be quietly retired (and whose command, she suspects, was largely due to her being a black woman rather than the Coast Guard’s respect for her abilities) to the Commodore of the Republic of Nantucket’s burgeoning navy.
• Chief from Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? (live-action), currently the image provider. Actress Lynne Thigpen was quite good at playing no-nonsense authoritarian types in general.
• Madeleine Hightower, the second boss the fictional CBI (California Bureau of Investigation) receives in The Mentalist.
• Colleen Manus, Regional Director for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Florida’s state police, in The Glades.
• Lt. Tanya Rice, head of Dwight’s Memphis city police squad in Memphis Beat.
• Jessica Pearson, Harvey’s boss and founder of the law firm in Suits.
• Lieutenant Van Buren, for many years Da Chief in Law & Order. Gets extra bonus points for being a full head shorter than every one of her detectives and still commanding their respect.
• Lieutnant Laguerta in Dexter also fits the trope in everything except actually being African-American (she’s afro-cuban though, so still black). At the start of Season 2, however, she was once demoted in favour of a female Haitian-American officer who proved unable to handle the job because of difficulties in her love life, which is something of a subversion.
• Also in Detroit 1-8-7. This seems also to be common in situations involving social workers.
• Downplayed by Helen from Drake & Josh, who is black, female, and the manager of the movie theater where Josh works, but is fairly incompetent and, even during her flashes of brilliance, consistently The Ditz.
• Camille Saroyan from Bones
• Roz from Raising the Bar, who is the cool, calm and collected head of the PD’s office and serves as a contrast to Balco
• Mrs. Frederick from Warehouse 13.
• Victoria “Iron” Gates is The Umbridge in Castle after the death of Captain Montgomery. She’s not as bad as she seems, though.
• A lot of characters on ER answer to Dr. Angela Hicks.
  • The last season had Catherine Banfield.
• Noah’s Arc: Brandy.
• Heylia James from Weeds definitely qualifies too.
• Captain Claudette Wyms from The Shield.
• There have been a number of black lady admirals and high-ranking officers on Star Trek: The Next Generation.
• America’s Next Top Model is created and produced by Tyra Banks. She also serves as The Host and one of the show’s resident judge.
• Scandal: Olivia.
• Sons of Anarchy: The DA. She typically hides her natural hair underneath a straight-haired wig, but removes the wig when it’s time to throw down.
• Doctor Who: The classic series has Brigadier Winifred Bambera and the new series has Captain Erisa Magambo, both high-ranking UNIT officers.
• Amanda Waller, again, in the Justice League and Young Justice cartoons, as head of Cadmus and Warden of Belle Reve penitentiary respectively.
• The Principal in Sitdown Shutup.
