The season finale of AMC series Mad Men couldn’t have arrived soon enough. While the episode maintained the show’s dark quality, there were few dark-skinned folks. A Black man took Betty Draper’s horse at the stables. A “blackground” bartender served patrons at a bar where Betty had sex with a stranger. And Carla the housekeeper dropped in for a moment. There didn’t even appear to be any Blacks at the cast party presented after the airing. Fade to black.
