Current is "meme-based". Replacement suggestions:

Of those three, 1.3 gets the trope across most clearly. Wouldn't mind seeing some other options.

Hattie Mc Daniel's already on Mammy. 1.3 is...okay. I think dialogue in general would be an improvement.

1.1 looks higher-quality than the image currently on Mammy, so should it replace that one? 1.3 works fine for Sassy Black Woman.

1.3 works for me.

Health sure is versatile. It's possible to be both light-headed and dim-witted. At the same time, no less.

1.3 is also very self-explanatory without needing to read the dialogue. So yeah. That one.

That's enough consensus. 1.3's added and tagged; caption?

How does the image that was just voted for distinguish itself from Black Boss Lady?

[up] Hmmmm...that's a good point, I didn't know we had that page. Its pic is pretty shoddy quality-wise; barring finding another good pic of Amanda Waller in a boss role, I'd be tempted to move the new pic to that page and try to find something else for this one.

[up] I just noticed that image's poor quality myself. Considering the age of the Game Show Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego, though, a higher-quality replacement may be hard to find. Was the series ever released on DVD?

A cropped version of this would probably work well for Black Boss Lady.

Bit late to the party here, but I agree that 1.3 looks more like Black Boss Lady than this. Meme-based or not, the former image illustrates better (that pose is practically synonymous with sass) than any of the suggestions. If that pic is against policy, we should keep looking.

The policy is against Image Macros and Demotivational Posters, and the old pic is neither, so it shouldn't be against policy.

LMK if you can't see this.

Since the original objection against the former page image on Sassy Black Woman is actually invalid per [up][up][up], I'll vote to restore it and move 1.3 to Black Boss Lady.
