This.
Janet Jackson, the homie from Spawn, the Husband from Soul Food, etc...
You know these people wouldn't get work anywhere else if it wasn't for black producers, specifically Tyler Perry.
I'll give you the over-dramatic parts of his movies, but I look at a movie like The Family that Preys and the acting is believable.
At the end of the day, that's all you want is believable acting.

MAYBE THEY ARENT VERY GOOD ACTORS, THEREFORE THEY DONT GET WORK
don cheadle has absolutely no problem eating without tyler perry
will smith has absolutely no problem eating without tyler perry
halle berry has absolutely no problem eating without tyler perry
denzel washington has absolutely no problem eating without tyler perry
sam jackson has absolutely no problem eating without tyler perry
and i could continue this list with every successful black actor that DOESNT work with tyler perry
lol, dude employs a healthy 20 MARGINAL black actors and all of a sudden the embarassing stereotypical "movies" are somehow not trash? (ftr, i have never once seen good acting in ANY tyler perry production...EVER...in fact, 90 percent of his actors are garbage and wouldnt work outside of his studios....not because he's giving them a chance...but because noone will pay them for that !*!%@*$+ they call acting)
so if black dudes designed these garbage fusion jordans they releasing, they would somehow be less garbage?

so when a cop lays you down on the ground because of the conditioning and biased lens he's experienced black culture through, you just do you?
when a teacher half *%!$* you because because of the conditioning and biased lens he's experienced black culture through, you just do you?
when a white lady grabs her purse as you walk by because of the conditioning and biased lens she's experienced black culture through, you just do you?
when you got generations of white children ONLY experiencing black culture through tyler perry, MTV and the likes, you just do you, huh?
i always bring this up when talking about tyler perry, but you all should wikipedia the history of african americans in cinema...
stock images of blacks which instill stereotypes....
many times these were the first and only images of blacks entire towns/cities experienced...
"oh, blacks steal watermelons and chickens!"
but you just do you, eh?
don't really matter, huh?

so we have to date dimes, drive m3's and become directors to not like the stereotypical movies this guy pumps out?Originally Posted by sooperhooper
the hate for this man sickens me. His movies aren't my favorite, but NT cats love spewing negativity. Since so many of y'all can articulate exactly what he's doing wrong, why don't you become a multi-million dollar director? Oh. Though so.
NT facts:
-everyone owns an M3
-everone dates a dime.
-everone can do something better than the professionals

Yeah I just do me I have no control over why the lady grabs her purse in the elevator thats just a fear that she needs to get over on her own
I can't really take that personally because I don't know what she had been through in her life for her to take that action why would I be offended she might do that to everyone
In all my years of living I have never been put on the ground by the police
I only been stopped for my driving record which can be viewed by looking up my plate #'s not much profiling being done there your only described by number
Never had a teacher half *** me on anything yet and if they do I would always make my voice heard on the situation(which would run in the same line as doing me)
and if a person takes what they see on TV as there tour or trip through the black community then THEY NEED TO FIND ANOTHER OUTLET ON EXPERIENCING WHAT THE BLACK COMMUNITY IS because most of tv is just entertainment and that goes for all races that is viewed on it

If you dont like his movies, dont watch or support them.
Whats so hard about that?
At least he gives black actors work.....and these movies are not stuff thats out of the ordinary.....This is stuff that actually happens.
My wife liked the plays, likes the movies.....but i dont (i cant front, some of the stuff in the plays was pretty funny)
We`re actually related, im not biased at all cause ive never met him. (he did pay for our family reunion in Louisiana a few years ago at his pops house....+$#$ is crazy big)
