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.
>His 'artistic' (and I use the word loosely) >influence is much bigger and it's negetive - I'm sorry, I >don't want to see the same bs stereotypes hollywood has been >perpetuating about me and mine anymore.
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.
