It's interesting how much black people complain about his movies portraying stereotypes, but don't want to focus on the fact a lot of his "stereotypical" movie-characters exist in real-life.  I personally don't find his movies to be all that unbelievable or stereotypical. Are they all good?..HELL NO!  But the bigger question that needs to be asked though is why so many blacks fit these so called negative "stereotypes"?

Yes, I'm black.

It's hard enough for a black man to get that high in the success ladder like he has. Black people need to support him rather than throw stones at this man.

agreed

The illuminati encouraged him and his producers on tbs so they can set black people back a few more years 

but really i never watched him; never will and if he was an asian america filipino actor/producer/failure i still wouldn't watch him

jeez....he was just curious what other groups of people thought about them. no need to get so defensive. and you shouldn't feel obligated to "support" a filmmaker because you share the same skin color. if you feel his movies suck go ahead and say it. if you like em go watch em. who cares?
