They're on the same shit Jesse Jackson was on back in the 70s when Blaxploitation was taking off.

However, the fact still remains: when are you gonna put your money where your mouth is. These "inferior" writers are getting on in almost every aspect of entertainment off work ethic alone.

You could fall back and say "That's irrelevant" but it really isn't. If the intellectual blacks don't come out and actually try to make something that OTHER black folks can get behind then you'll never get what you want.

I don't see Larry Leon Hamlin encouraging black churches to come see his plays the way Tyler Perry does. I don't see some of the OKArtists putting out constant material like Young Jeezy does. This is why there's bullshit on our radios and movie screens--the artists with the most incentives to gain from working hard aren't bringing it nearly as much as they need to.

Don't get mad at the average black man for going to see Tyler Perry's play. Tyler Perry made sure that guy knew he had a play out. Long story short, the criticism is extra because everyone knows you won't do anything. Shut up and do something.
