Judge Joe: Tyler Perry's Role as Madea Is Bad for Our Community

Joe must still be watching this shit. I know no one watching anything associated with Madea, except church people.
 
The CACs that i work with just discovered his movies in the past year or so and they think its hilarious. I'm pretty sure it's because they envision it's how "we" are in our own homes.
 
Many people who actually know Joe Brown in real life don't seem to like him AT ALL. They say he's an everyday nasty drunk with no filter and that has caused him to burn bridges throughout Hollywood and Memphis. Last year Joe ran for Shelby County (Memphis) District Attorney in a 70% Black area and lost to a white female rumored lesbian Republican by 65% to 35%.

i just moved to memphis but in my small time here i would hypothesize that 80% of that 70% don't vote. the culture here is so different than other cities i have lived in.
 
Elaborate.

many of the people i run into here, especially young cats, just don't give a fuck. it is rare for me to find community minded people here. i actually live in the rural areas and it is the same there. most of them only think about what is happening that day or what their next meal is.

when i go into the city or more urbanized areas many black people just don't care. my girl's fam is well connected in the area and the back stabbing and crab in a barrel politics are ridiculous. it is not uncommon for a white person to take an elected seat in predominately black area for three reasons.

1. black people around here don't give a fuck.

2. it is some lazy ass motherfuckers here. they don't do shit.

3. it is very common for two black candidates to split the black vote and thus an outsider gets elected. i saw this with my own eyes a few years ago with my girl's fam that was running for an elected office.

with all of that said i would love for some memphis folk to point me in the right direction where i can find some active progressive minded black people in memphis. cause both my girl and i have not and we both work corporate gigs.

Tyler Perry is bad for our community period. He's one of those "no one would buy my positive movies so I was forced to coon it up for massa". We have way too many of those in our community.
 
Tyler Perry employees mad black folk more than bgol and Judge joe ever will.
just because McDonalds employs a lot of young black people from the community, that doesn't mean the food it sells is good for the community

You shoulda moved to the 'ville. Memphis has more black bums per square mile than any city on earth. I say that clowning but on the real that shit is super depressing. Get the fuck outta there as soon as possible homie. I can plug you in if you get to Nashville.
 
Anybody who insinuates Spike Lee as comparably damaging to the African-American community as Tyler Perry is a doofus.

Perry had one movie that I approved of which features Idris Elba. It painted Black men in a positive light; however , it made the least amount of money.

Unfortunately, our community is contaminated with a monstrous amount of coons who supported the garbage part of his repertoire; meanwhile, conscious Black folk fail to show up at events that portray us positively.

Thanks bruh. I dig where you're coming from.
 
tyler perry was a dude that found his niche doin them comedic plays in that circuit..he was suppose to be a 1 trick pony with the madea series and somehow got offered way more opportunities than he prob ever thought and could possibly handle...his situation is pretty much a person that was able to do only 1 job and yet somehow he was asked to do many other jobs that was not part of his skillset..simply he is overwhelmed especially that he was juss trying to make ends meet with his plays originally
 
Tyler Perry is a millionaire who wears dresses for a living. By choice.

Spike Lee made Malcolm X and Do the Right Thing and started the careers of Denzel Washington, Wesley Snipes, Halle Berry, Sameul Jackson, Derek Luke.....
