453948, So basically, you have a stupid double standard. Posted by Orbit_Established, Thu May-28-09 04:59 PM
>As someone who has been guilty of that I guess all I can say >is I really don't care what Kevin Smith's movies say about >him/white ppl. However since Tyler is a member of my community >w/a VERY big microphone - I do care what he has to say.
So even though you can't trace a single problem in the black community to Tyler Perry, its okay to hate on Tyler Perry films because of this magical role they have in the black community's downfall. This is the case, even if his overall role is, if anything, positive: he employs blacks, is a wonderful model for a self-made, hard working man who took on the hollywood gods, and won.
That's called "stupidity." Not "caring what he has to say."
>Now that being said, I absolutely LOVED The Family That Preys >and I hope he makes more movies like that.
Why Did I get Married was good
Meet the Browns was funny and good.
The Family that Preys was excellent
A lot of his films are actually pretty good.
