I mean, you could have just disagreed and been wrong.

I would have happily corrected you, and it'd
be all good.

Then you have to proceed with the PTP assholery, for
no reason.

That makes you wrong, and a wack motherfucker.

Lol.

No, the "theory" goes back to dozens of other posts
about Tyler Perry authored by
Basaglia.

Basaglia consistently argues that Perry is, if anything,
a positive force for black actors, actresses, and
black america at large.

Basaglia highlighted this note because its a very specific
example of how someone used a Perry-directed film to note the
range that a respected, but neglected, actor had, using said
performance to give said actor a prominent role.


Again, that is a very specific example of the grander
point that Basaglia constantly makes:

Tyler Perry is not a "coon," and is not "setting Black
America back," and is not "making black people look bad."

He's, in fact, furthering the careers of black actors
and actresses.


In which case my Angela Bassett example works perfectly.


In which case you are wrong.

Actually, its very expensive to pay for a commercial on ABC,
even during black programming, in which case you're still a
dumbass, because the only reason I pointed out the commercial
was to reinforce my other point that the Perry movie starring
Angela Bassett was a major studio movie, which it is.

If it wasn't, the studio wouldn't be paying for ABC
commercials.

But according to your other (shot down)argument, that
all should be irrelevant, because my (correct)Angela
Bassett example was supposed to be wrong.

In which case I'm curious as to why you pressed the
commercial point at all.

You've only made yourself look doubly stupid, by being
both wrong about the Bassett example, and wrong about
why I highlighted the presence of the commercial on ABC
on a Monday night primetime movie.

Lol.

Nice analogy, moron.

Except that Hennessey and Cadillacs are not
black-authored entertainment venues, neither of them black
owned, and their advertisement in poor inner-cities is
largely indicative of spending problems and bad habits
in the black community.

So here: Not only are you wrong about the correct
argument, you're wrong about the wrong argument.

The Tyler Perry movie is an uplifting movie about
overcoming obstacles, and so even IF only poor blacks watched
'A Raisin in the Sun', than you'd be a dick for comparing
fun, light, comedy movies to addictive substances and
expensive cars.

But that fantasy scenario(where you would be wrong) is
not the case.

Because advertising to poor blacks in the "hood" is not
exactly what went on with the Tyler Perry movie
advertised during 'A Raisin in the Sun'.

For example, I(OE) saw 'Raisin in the Sun' with a bunch
of ivy educated people, not all black, some with MFAs,
all of whom saw the actual performance on Broadway, where
tickets were priced far out of the range of most
people(of all races) in any "hood."

So actually, the markets are completely different,
you fucking dickhead.

We watched 'Raisin in the Sun' while eating healthy
salad, not Fried Chicken.

I'm a part of the market, just like Jamal from the
"hood" is.
