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.
>The theory presented in this thread is that people are >getting other work based on being in a Tyler Perry movie. >Blair got "In Treatment" based on being in "Madeas Family >Reunion."
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.
Next.
>You can't say count Angela Bassett getting work in Tyler >Perry's movie based on Angela Bassett being in Tyler Perry's >movie. > >Never mind you getting jazzed because you saw a commercial for >a black movie while watching a black movie. Like that's some >shock. When else are they gonna air those commercials?
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.

>It's like seeing billboards for Hennessy and Cadillacs in the >hood.
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.
