Spike Lee is a hater and a pompous ass. He had the nerve to criticize Clint Eastwood, now its Tyler Perry. Both have more talent in their little fingers than Lee has in his entire acting/directorial career. "She's Got to Have It" was an embarrassment and was demeaning to black women. A women sleeping with three men at one time. I'd rather see Tyler's characters anyday, than see the aforementioned portrayal of Spike's concept of blacks. What has Sike done lately. Nothing. How much $$$$ does Sike have in the bank? Not as much as Tyler. Does Spike have his own studio lt? Not! Tyler does. Grow up Spike and get your act together. Stop hating and spend more positive time trying to be more creative.

I absolutely agree with Spike Lee on this.

Tyler Perry's movies are extremely stereotypical and probably the lowest form of wit and humor I have ever seen.

It really makes African Americans appear like ignorant, loud-mouthed, attitude prone morons, and I know that they are not like that, which is why it's insulting to portray them in that way.

"Buffoonery"and "coonery"? I couldn't have said it better myself.

I thought Spike Lee was a proud black man, not an jealous green man.

Spike Lee's just bitter. Spike Lee's films consistently glorify black people and demonize white people, where as Tyler Perry's films reach out and touch all nationalities: black, white, latino and asian….And he's raking in a fuck ton of cash to boot.

I'd like to nominate Spike Lee for the Player Hater Of The Year Award.

Hats off to Tyler Perry!! He is at the top for a reason. His movies are HILARIOUS. Spike Lee has NOTHING going on, no one really gives a damn what he has to say so he has to stir up crap as usual to get heard or seen. I suggest he does something positive like Tyler Perry has and maybe then he will have an audience; otherwise keep his mouth shut, no one cares!

I love Tyler Perry! Don't judge him or Madea movies until you watch all his fims in entirity. All his movies are christain based with happy endings. IT's about forgivenss, resilience, accepting yourself. One of my favorite is "why did I get married?" If there were more Madeas in this world, there wouldn't be so many troubled teenagers running around.

Sorry, I haven't seen any of Tyler's work but I know who he is. But as a white person I think I can find several examples of stereotypical white portrayals on TV which are humorous but that doesn't make it bad. It is entertainment and some are very successful like Married with Children. But then you have break-outs like All In the Family which made you laugh but made you think too. There is nothing wrong with playing a stereotype as long as you know what you are watching, "Married with Children or All in the Family". The fact that over 90% of Tyler's audience is black means that it is probably Married with Children. If it were All in the Family, we would all be watching, even if you knew it was going to make you mad as hell.

I agree with Tyler on this one. I love most of Spike's movies, but he needs to get over himself. Sometimes people just want to be entertained, and Tyler's movies do just that. I also think it's a little hypocritical for Spike to criticize Tyler Perry for some of the exact same things that he's done. I'm sorry, but Girl 6, She Hate Me, and even Miracle at St. Anna contained some of the worst stereotypes I've ever seen. But it was ok for him to do it because he was just trying to make a point?? And it was art??

Re: Ky Ky – Um. If you pay attention, Tyler's point was that these TYPES of people do exist, therefore why not speak of it. His point is not that ALL Blaque people act like that, but in reality, there are people in the world that act like that. But race doesn't really have anything to do with it, I think, because there are some VERY abrasive caucasians in this world, and Lord knows they haven't been depicted the greatest in every movie on this planet.
