TROLL IS LIFE
I'd there any black people in high up postions that aren't c00ns?Perry, Daniels, Rhimes, and Oprah all sellouts. Their wack ass shows and movies are just as harmful as whites in promoting stereotypes.
Hov?

Tyler and Daniels need to get married and start a c00npire...
Yea when it first opened up. Mad property damage. When have u ever heard of a movie studio catchin on fire? Perry pockets are to heavy to put together a shotty lot too. Them boys spanked him and told him shut da fukk up
I guess the question is why can't Madea exist as some sort of comic relief without being criticized? I get the feeling Madea is an exaggerated parody of how some grouchy old people act and that the character isn't meant to be taken seriously. I also don't think the majority of the characters in those films behave the way she does. I saw one of his movies a long time ago called Why Did I Get Married and there were no characters like Madea in it from what I can remember.
Again I'm not an expert on his movies as I've only seen Diary of a Mad Black Woman and the other one I said but from the outside it seems like people wanna strap Madea as all he does. I look at that character as absurdist humor not as him trying to portray that is the gold media standard for how black people behave. It's like Waldo from Family Matters. Dude was a straight up buffoon that existed for comic relief purposes. Is Waldo called a c00n or the actor that played him? What about Cole from Martin? Some of these characters are just idiots you're supposed to laugh at and aren't intended to be social commentary.
Yes, It's like she's allergic to black couples.I'm not sure how you would put Rhimes in the same catogory with Daniels and Perry. I think she actually works against racial stereotypes by putting her Black characters in elevated positions. She's also a better writer than the other two. I don't regularly watch any of her shows but I don't see any as being negative outside of Scandel by having the Black woman play the loyal mistress. Is in the interracial compenent in many of he shows that bothers people so much?
Most of y'all have probably never seen a Tyler Perry movie.
Outside of his Madea films, which usually are more light-hearted, he makes movies about serious issues. He just throws in comedic elements to make it more digestible. I've never once watched a Tyler Perry film and felt like it was c00nery. If you think his stuff isn't good that's fine, but it's lazy and inaccurate to say that he's producing minstrel show type pictures.
The 25th Hour was not a "Spike Lee film" though, it was one of those times Spike played director-for-hire like when he made Old Boy and Inside Man.EDIT: Even Spike Lee made The 25th Hour with a mostly white cast.
This. I don't put Shonda Rhimes in the same category as Tyler Perry & Lee Daniels.I'm not sure how you would put Rhimes in the same catogory with Daniels and Perry. I think she actually works against racial stereotypes by putting her Black characters in elevated positions. She's also a better writer than the other two.

I haven't seen much Perry stuff, but I haven't seen anything c00nish. Most of them try at least to have an uplifting message. He appeals to church-going folk he's not making Soul Plane sequels.
I wonder how many people shytting on Perry say a damned word about the Wayans brothers or Ice Cube?
EDIT: Even Spike Lee made The 25th Hour with a mostly white cast.
I wish Spike Lee would do more director-for-hire work.The 25th Hour was not a "Spike Lee film" though, it was one of those times Spike played director-for-hire like when he made Old Boy and Inside Man.
That all-white Tyler Perry show is produced by Tyler Perry so the decision to make it 99.999% white was all Perry's.

Both of the black doctor's husbands on Greys Anatomy have been black.i can only speak for myself: that shyt bothers me...from the bits/pieces i caught of her shows, she doesnt have a black couple....she has a strong sista, but then has that sista with a white guy and or being the side piece for a white guy...hell, didnt she even have viola being bi-sexual with a white woman on that show?....i mean damn....
it's not just her, i see that shyt a lot in the media...they rarely have a black couple...it's usually 1 brotha/sista out the group that dates anyone that isnt black....and that shyt bugs me.....
