White people need to get off of Perry’s case. He makes movies for all audiences, if you look at his movie “The Family That Preys” he had white and black actors. Okay because white people dont take over the whole movie they complain about not being included lol give me a break.

so you saying Boyz in the Hood and Menace to Society is a great representation of African American community shocking. they are good movies but they are based on negative impact on African American community.

Ummm, lol ok wow. First of all “thestrongestthereis,” although Boyz in the Hood was an excellent movie it was an EXTREMELY negative depiction of the black community. To complain and say that Tyler Perry's films are alien like is insane to me. You only appreciate black films that depict violence? Is that what your saying? Tyler Perry's films are refreshing with a Christian theme. His films have no blood, no death and are very honest. Tyler Perry is simply creating movies about stories that are close to home with the black community. It sickens me that a black director can't enjoy the success of a Steven spileberg or James Cameron without being criticized for his “lack of white support.” As I said in my previous post…….every studio in Hollywood caters to “the white audience.” Let us have 1 please……

Even though alot of people are taking their time and effort to make your words racial and get on your case. I understand what your saying about the paternal issues and the way that these films come off. “queen witty up towards the top”, it doesn't have to be spoken in tongues to not be directed at someone. I had a wonderful father and I am African American and most of tyler perry's movies dont appeal to me because blacxploitation is just that, no matter who does it. I find his movies for the most part offensive to the intelligence of my race, and would like him to step it up above the bar and make a good movie, Not just a movie about black people and issues drowned out by sickly stereotypes that we use to incite double standards riots. What he puts in every movie is the same stuff that we would call racist if put in another movie. A Good director that makes good movies is John Singleton. When Tyler Perry makes a quality film that can even be held next to Boyz in the Hood or Menace to Society(for that matter), let me know. Tyler Perry's “good themes” are merely shells of good themes found in simplistic fairy tales. It doesn't make them bad themes, I would just like to think that people try to raise the bar, not keep it at numbskull level or lower. One reason the movie doesn't speak to people with brains is because the concepts that his stories are built on are so beneath where someones thoughts should be that it merely comes off alien.
