Coli, do we fukk with Tyler Perry?

[Yinny]

Men doing drag for entertainment is far from new, when done correctly it's hilarious. That said, he hasn't been funny for the longest and he crossed over to damn-near minstrelsy a while ago with Madea. He's formulaic as hell but somebody must be enjoying it.

 

[EndDomination]

He's one of the most prominent Black directors, actors, and producers in the industry, if not the top.
And he employs a massive amount of Black people, while also giving Black actors and actresses a strong platform to start a career.
But he uses outdated stereotypes and ridiculous messages in all of his movies. If he'd get some fresh Black talent to help him in writing brilliant Black movies.
He did do Precious as well as For Coloured Girls both movies a gritty and realistic depiction of the less "shiny" aspects of Black life here in the US, so I support him for that, he also simultaneously had four Black shows running on television at a given time, so I definitely support that.
I just need him to branch off: Black sitcoms that aren't stupid, Afro-futurist movies that don't demonise certain Black men and women, brilliant dramas, Black children's cartoons, etc.
I expect more out of Tyler Perry, but I do fukk with him for now.

Is dude sweet or straight

I fukk with his mentality of hiring black actors, and promoting black businesses. But his movie quality is trash.

Tyler Perry business acumen + spike lee quality, would be the goat black Hollywood director.

He's sweeter than pineapples. Had a few drinks with him a few years ago.lets just say my a$$hole was hurting the next morning.

You can tell dude has some deep seated issues regarding the community. Flip side, he has opened doors for a lot of people. I'm neutral on him. He isn't nearly as bad as Lee Daniels.

U make a good point....with Lee Daniels being gay and Tyler Perry being very suspect....I think their view of the black community isn't very positive because of the mistreatment they received from the black community. Lee's mom called him a phaggot at a young age but did say he gonna be something. Both are talented but I have some issues with both....but more in favor for Perry.

I hate threads like this"Coli how do WE feel"
fukk what other people think, if you fukk with tyler perry, than you fukk with tyler perry
I like 3 of his movies
I really dont give a fukk who he has sex with because thats none of my business

 

[Voice of Reason]

I have to salute any black person that comes from poverty and goes on to be worth hundreds of millions


The quality of his work is another matter

i notice the movies he did without madea in it are pretty good
the whole madea thing is horrible but it seems alot of people still like it
the family that preys,for colored girls, and daddys little girls were the decent ones he made

He very suspect. He had a lil boy with a fine azz 28-29 yo woman but some think he hired her as a surrogate. Who knows...but that doesn't concern me.

Tyler Perry didn't make those movies
