LOL.

You must not like many movies, Sparky.

Uh - no

Upcoming artists and filmmakers. Upcoming businessmen
who want to understand how to navigate hollywood.

He's producing 'Precious' written by a regular black
woman, so you're wrong about that. And its employing
a talented young filmmaker, Lee Daniels. So he's influencing
lots of people, actually.

He'100% self made, works hard, and is an excellent example
for young people in many crafts. I, for example, am not an
entertainer, but am inspired by him and his work.

What stereotype is he perpetuating about you?

Because when I saw 'Why Did I get Married' I saw professional
blacks pediatricians and psychologists coming together and
discussing the difference and issues in a very mature way.

Not sure what the fuck you're talking about.

And even still, when I see 'The Browns', that is not me.
That's the goddamn Adams Family, and its hilarious.

So even when I see the silly stuff, its silly and great.

But he doesn't even make exclusively silly stuff.

In fact, his model is awesome: He uses the funny projects
to bankroll some of the more serious projects, which is
fucking awesome.

>It does nothing for me. To me, that makes his movies bad.
>That's all I'm saying, he makes movies I don't want to see,
>and his perceived success will probably encourage more people
>to make more movies I don't want to see.

Okay, that doesn't make him any different than Kevin Smith.


>His business influence as of yet has absolutely no effect on
>my life.

It has about as much an impact on your life as the "negative
stereotypes" has.

I can give you SPECIFICS as to how his employment has helped
blacks. I can give you SPECIFIC projects that he's funding.

You can't give me shit about how the 'negative stereotypes'
that he perpetuates hurts you. You're making shit up.
