"FOR COLORED GIRLS" Was an embarrassment! It seems like Tyler Perry still has issues regarding Black men! I think he has not resolved what has happened to him as a little boy, but his perception on black people's lifestyles must change. Spike directed Malcom X! I am hoping someone produce movie about Marcus Garvey...That will be a shocker for Tyler Perry!
I love you bruh, but I have to disagree! I liked Tyler Perry's plays and movies at first. Later through the years, his movies and tv sitcoms lacks variety, it further perpetuate the negative black stereotype. I seem like he does not have positive views on black love, so he shit on black men and women for a big check...PRECIOUS?! come on' so
Ive watched Spike Lee movies and Tyler Perry movies. I love both of their movies. They have two different styles and that's great. I enjoyed watching Malcom X....witch was a amazing movie.....but I enjoyed Meet the Browns as well.......We need somehting that will educate and also make us laugh. I think it's a balance between the two. Also if Spike Lee wants more movies like his then send more students to film school or he can start his own school. Mentor his students and make more films like his
Yo... I love this dude for his UNDER-RATED, brilliance in his craft and most importantly -- HIS HONESTY!!! Clifton Powell, keep doing you and keeping it real brotha!
Spike Lee should be ashamed of himself. It is bad enough that other races want to see us fail, but to publicly slam your own is utterly ridicules. He is always putting Tyler down for painting a negative picture of the black community, but he does the same thing. At least Tyler has meaningful messages behind his movies. I have no clue what Spike is trying to convey in his so-called movies. And I agree with Clifton. Spike is nothing but a hater and a PUNK!
I met spike lee in bowling green ky. I was so hype to see the guy that influence me to become a filmmaker. He was stuck up at the meet and greet like he did not even want to be there. How can hate on Tyler? Think about it. Girl 6, Bamboozled...yeah that was x-ploitation. He calls Tyler selling out. We got to pull each other up Not hate. TP makes good movies.
@talkindurinthemovie You are tellin the TRUTH. Spike gets haters for ripping on black people who don't uplift. Tyler gets praise for selling movie tickets. Get real.
Spike finances his own movies, or he gets the aid of additional African Americans to do that. All Spike is saying that we need a better variety of films where we're not mugging up to the camera and acting foolish. Comedies? Yeah, sure. Idiotic, "hood-ploitation" cinema? No. But, Hollywood will throw money at "Soul Plane" or "Medea Goes to Popeye's" faster than they will at funding "Malcolm X" or "Crooklyn," or "Miracle at St. Anna."

by the way, this isn't an argument i'm trying to make with you, i'm just seeing things for what they really are.
Like the top drug dealer( Tyler Perry) sending his runners(Actors) to push his product. His genre is irresponsible black women who wants to hide from being held accountable.
@Blashbanderwit Wrong. Black men who are thugs and don't want to account for anything. Why the hell you thinkg they blame mom for everything? They are angry. In case you missed it, Spike it seems didnt pay his actors. The same is not said about Tyler...
@kmcl11 I wasn't absolving spike of his business practices. I was simply saying I wouldn't corrupt an entire generation to make money. Black men who are thugs who don't want to account for anything learn this from there mothers. The Strong single independent black woman. If dad supposedly left camp. Wasn't it the so strong mother
No one is above criticism. Tyler nor Spike can indirectly serve as templates on what people of color can do in order to get in the "commercial" film industry. African Americans should have a sense of history of the plights of African American actors and actresses. A critical examination of this was written some time ago by Donald Bogle as starters. We should not only be able to tell stories featuring African Americans but provide opportunities of the business they wouldn't normally receive.
@quickmajik1000 Very true, but there is no need to be in a dress, when you know thats the blackman hollywood loves! Be strong at whatever you do, we have a future generation to mold... We don't belong in hollywood in the first place, leave that shit to the puppets!!!
@UGLYpuppypatrol Right - it would be different if this was an actor with a certain level of dignity. I like his acting but he is the kind of B list actor who helps Perry perpetuate the minstrel show image that we no longer need
I love Clifton Powell, but he sounds salty about not getting hired by Spike. Spike has fluttered and bombed? How many Tyler Perry movies have been up for Oscars? Why is Spike considered one of the best directors in the world and credited with touching topics that are rarely spoken of? Last I heard, Spike has been trying to get movies made about Joe Louis and Jackie Robinson. I like Tyler, but the reality is Spike makes art and Tyler makes "New Millennium Minstrel Shows".
@bcstylz Oscars mean nothing! Plenty of ocscar winning directors, producers and actors are out of work. But Mr. Perry has made millions in stage, TV and cinema! And he is still making millions.....Spike Lee stopped making black movies, trying to branch out and it didn't work. Spike Lee needs to write and direct more, instead of making videos about a peer. Stop complaining and start creating Spike!
@mspinkytee It means something if you never produce work that is nominated for an Oscar. I don't want more black movies, I want more good movies starring black people, there's a difference. The Cosby show wasn't a black show, it was a good show starring black people. Also, people that create art don't produce as much product as people that create junk. BTW, Stepin Fetchit made millions, too.
@wadopotato33 Cannes, Berlin, Venice, Emmy - those are just the wins, not counting the black awards or all the nominations. Now tell me which major awards and nominations Tyler Perry has received - GO!
@wadopotato33 You never mentioned major awards Tyler won. Other famous directors never won Oscars - Alfred Hitchcock, George Lucas, Sidney Lumet, just to name a few. Any major award is a recognition of you be at the top of your profession. No slouch wins at Cannes, Berlin and Venice. The reality is Powell is a jilted actor that is speaking of what he heard - he said he doesn't actually know what either director pays because he has never worked for either.
@bcstylz More people go to see his movies. Call it a popularity award. Call it a money award. I personally don't listen to Spike Lee because his movies suck. I can think of one Spike Lee movie that is even watchable.
@wadopotato33 True, more people see Perry movies and he does make more money. It's OK if you don't like Spike Lee movies, that's subjective, but to act like nobody like Spike Lee isn't a respected director amongst his peers is a complete lie. Also, the money thing is a complete lie - the actors that Spike works with are SAG members and have agents, so if they weren't getting paid he would be sued left and right.
@bcstylz I would love to read links where respected directors talk about how much they respect Spike Lee. As for his awards...it's sound like they love him in France, Germany, and Italy. Maybe his movies translate better into any language, but Enligsh.
@wadopotato33 I don't need links - if you win in Cannes, Berlin, and Venice you are respected because you are on a list that most directors never make. The Oscars are the biggest American award, but Cannes is the biggest international award - kind of like The Super Bowl vs. The World Cup. Also, Drivin' Miss Daisy beat Do The Right Thing - good choice in your book? Still waiting for Perry's major awards. Lee won an award at Cannes on his first film.
@bcstylz Fine he's respected everywhere but in the country of his birth. I lived in Europe, went to many foreign films, and most are complete garbage (although there are some that I like). If Europeans love your shit, it is probably just that.
I got new found respect for Clifton Powell....not because of his dislike for Spike,but because of his level of honesty. Most celebs are not that straight forward and i have a hard time respecting them. Most celebs beat around the bush and talk in riddles....this brotha made his feeling plain so there is no room to error and i can always respect a Blackman like that or any man for that matter. More of us need to be straight forward and there would be a lot less misunderstandings in the world.
@shifragri okay i know i've seen him in something of tyler perry and when ypu think about it clifton's roles tend to be on the lines of the same thing. he raped kimberly elise in woman tho art loosed. he rapes woman in prison in civil brand. he plays the over empowered enforcer, but he don't scare nobody
He may or not be right about Spikes attitude but regardless. Spike makes a point about the type of roles Perry portraits and how that is viewed towards black man. Powell without knowing summed up and help Spikes point. He basically said that because of the little role opportunities that blacks have he had to play those roles. Some may be fun and one can agree but at the end is your dignity and your character that gives respect and not fame or money. One is superficial and the other one is real.
@UltimateZeitGeist1 You must understand that people are laughing at us when they see young black men trying to go from point A to B with their pants hanging around their knees.gb3
ANGLES CAN'T HELP BUT LAUGH, it's a documentary about African American actors and actresses and what they deal with for getting their roles. Lets stop putting each other on front street. I want to see more people of color on Tv. Promote our people of color!
We as black folks ...NO MATTER what, Do we have to always put one another on blast, why can't we talk decently in private instead of letting other people ,especially the white media profit off of us. We'll have more respect for each other and so will other races. It's hard enough being African- American as it is.
Clifton powell i know you are a good actor, but how r u gonna say f u to spike lee because he did not give your ass a job he don't have to hire you because you black. you cool, but not for no spike lee movies, spike lee movies are too high class for you. clifton powell accept any role that is giving to him and most of them be low quality, or low budget local movies he need to sit his ass down with that hating he just kissing and sucking on tyler perry's ass because he gave him a job.
I don't understand why Spike Lee spoke about Tyler Perry movies. All of Spikes movies from Do the right thing to School Daze have been about racial discord, stereotypes and violence. From the Jiggaboos to the Wannabees, 2 demanding Black pics on the wall of a white restaurant, to dysfunctional interracial relationships (Jungle Fever) what message is spike sending out about African americans? Can he condemn Tyler? Tyler's movies invoke GOD and end in peaceful resolution. Spike's don't.
@SAMSON12321 When Spike Lee points out stereotypes about blacks in his movies he makes it clear that they are indeed ISSUES that need to stop. When you see stereotypes about blacks in Tyler Perry's movies they are seen as a joke, something not to be taken seriously....laughed at.
@cottoncandychic Not really Cotton. Spikes movies amplifies stereotypes N does not provide closure/resolution @ the end, but rather leaves the viewer dangling on an opinion. Tylers movies don't invoke buffoonery 2 embarrassing levels as some of Spikes have, but they address issues and have good resolutions. Spikes films leaves issues unaddressed as in School Daze which closes with Fishburn screaming wake up, but NOT resolving the issues. Girl 6/Jungle Fever do the same
@SAMSON12321 spike's movies have honestly to them. it's about to be 2012 and people are still talking about good hair vs. bad hair. and not all african americans have a peaceful ending to their story
@UltimateZeitGeist1 You must remember that Clifton is a comedian. It was for radio and he's mostly trying to get across that he was a "punk" for degrading Tyler's work. I personally wouldn't degrade another African-American's work unless IT was degrading to my race. His work is based off real life situations. What he calls "coonery," I call exaggerations which is part of the comedy. Don't short-change white people. In this day and age, MOST of them know that we are not ALL alike.
Spike Lee is a pioneer. That deserves to be respected. Especially by other African Americans including Tyler Perry who was, i'm sure, inspired by Spike Lee to do what he's doing now. If there was no Spike Lee there would be no Tyler Perry, lol. Clifton Powell sounds bitter and vendictive because he's never worked for Spike. Just keep taking what hollywood gives you Clifton in regards to working, which isn't much these days, lol. If not for other black directors Clifton, who would hire you brah?
Pretty ridiculous Spike Lee is bitching about Tyler Perry portraying stereotypes describing it all as "coonery bufoonery". Its okay I guess for Spike to sling around racially insulting words and descriptions in seriousness but if Tyler Perry wants to embelish and open up laughter to certain stereotypes then that's just wrong. Ugh, wtf?
I agree with the message, I just dont agree with how he said it. But it's true, Spike Lee really doesn't have a reason to hate Tyler Perry. why would you down your fellow black actor/director.
@UltimateZeitGeist1 So what if a few blacks are working in these awful movies, look at the larger picture of what it does to black society as a whole. Tyler Perry does make movies that reminds me of "The Beulah Show" starring Louise Beavers back in the 1950s. Spike Lee probaly is jealous and he isn't someone i would invite to a party or want to be around, But Perrys movies really do black america a great dis service.
To me alot of people can kill all the negative talk about tyler perry's stereotypes of african americans in his movies. Generally we are silly not all the time but typically we do not act high class all the time with no sense of humor like high class america i say high class because i'm not labeling it racially because every race has it's good, bad, foolish, ignorant, rich, & poor but it's real life tyler perry just adds comedy to it to keep us entertained.
Tyler Perry knows how to draw a crowd to see his films, that's why he uses black women as the main charcaters and story lines. I like spike too but he was wrong because T.P. is using all black actors, he tries to keep the maniac european devils in action out of his business. They should be workin' together instead of Spike tryin' to put his fellow man on the spot. Like Spielberg and Lucas!
sooooo let me get this straight, even though everybody knows Perry's movies are shit, & portray black people in the most coonish imagery possible, that's all ok cause he hires black actors? If you can't see this flawed logic then you're a COON you're damn self!
@edupbeat Tell me, what is a coon? Do you, REALLY, know what a coon is, or what coonin' is? Alotta y'all are just a bunch of fake-ass revolutionaries, who are just so worried about what white people think - that, actually, concerns you more than your people, because if you TRULY had a love for the black race, you wouldn't be trying to jeopardize a black director/actor who is keeping other black actors on screen, and providing hundreds of jobs for his community..WHAT have you done for your peeps?
@Lashid4u first off, i'm not some "black revolutionary"(lolz) secondly, I'm actually an aspiring actor here in chi. I've written a few plays myself(1st one @19). you don't know jack shit about me lady! in fact, you've replied 2 me b4 regarding some vid about black women & interracial dating a few months back I think. get off my dick ma. I make comments based on the vids, you on the other hand make ASSUMPTIONS(like most bitter broadz).
@edupbeat First of all, I don't know who the hell you are (I don't pay attention to names like that) ...Small world, that's all ..and secondly, those who are "bitter" continously wag the finger and play crabs in a barrel, and it's REALLY messed up when it's against your own.
@Lashid4u fuck outta here you youtube clown! Uggh, you all making these so-called "conscious vids be on the same shit! & it aint the crabs in the barrell ma, it's the damn condition of the water(this warped white supremacy system) that make's em pull each other down, fuck-away-from-me please yo.
@edupbeat o, & another thing, I never said you knew me(lolz), it's the fact you go on vids & if you see a comment no one agrees with, you start attacking ( assuming shit) them. the real question is, who the hell are you? fuck outta here yo..
clifton poweel sounds like he mad cause he hasn't been hired by either one. how u gon bash spike then say the same thing spike said. plus spike is a legend. his message is true and relates to uplifting us as african americans.
Negro issues like this are ignored in the media. If Brad Pitt had made a comment like Cliftons about some other white actors, he would have been talked about for years to come. I guess the media sees this as normal black people behavior.
@lisaskiel We are not "negro(s)". There is a very good reason why we don't have any knowledge of our past or heritage. That's because the slaves that were brought over here to America were the real decendants of the original Hebrew Israelites (not the imposters who are occupying Palestine currently). Go to the websites below to see for yourselves (but delete all spaces):
Wow...I'll beat your punk ass?!! Sigh...geezz....he couldn't express that better...after which he agrees with Spike...but expresses some of the inside bitterness at how Spike handled his business...I found that informative and maybe true but LORD. HE WENT GHETTO FAST didn't he?
The truth hurts don't it...Spike was spot on. People can't take any criticism whatsoever, even if it's constructive criticism. Tyler needs to up the overall quality of his work because quite frankly, it's crap. He's not using this golden opportunity he has to truly represent African American filmmakers and audiences in a positive light.
@MrSupastar83 Why should Tyler represent anyone in a positive light? Many times they don't represent themselves in a positive light, the truth hurts doesn't it? Speaking from someone who wants to go into film PRODUCTION, Tyler is an entertainer, not an activist. He owes us nothing and has every right to do what he wants to do.
@Cambocan - Yeah right nigger. Anyone can say they graduated from a prestigious college with honors over the Internet you piece of shit. If you were really that educated you wouldn't have responded to a simpleton on YouTube. I know that's what you think of me. I'd rather get my dick sucked by the human race instead of an ape like you and your kind.
@Iknowhatur What's with the backwards thinking (i.e. racism)? In case you weren't aware, the human race (homo sapiens) is classified as 'bipedal primates', belonging to the taxonomical 'family' of Hominidae (Great Ape Family). All humans are apes, so quit using it as an insult lol. Modern science has proven racism to be without any foundation, other than willfully blind hatred. Get with the times, realize that our own DNA traces us all (including you) back to Africa, and that we're all equal.
@Iknowhatur I am black. I graduated from Berkeley with highest honors. What have you done? Troll on Youtube? Suck your own dick--that is, if you're old enough to get hard.
Who the fuck are you?! Number 1 you are NOT Legandary! Number 2 the only real thing your known for is your bullshit ass role from Next Friday as Pinky! Number 3 your attitude torwards Spike is more personal and it sounds like your being the real Hater because you never got to be in one of his films! Number 4 You are completely wrong about how Spike handles business with actors, he has always paid them, if he didn't then he wouldn't have been able to make more movies! Get overself asshole!
@gomobo2232 Word! What the hell was that complaint about flying to his auditions and not getting the job??? Um... Isn't that the life of an actor? So, after an audition he decides Clifton Powell isn't right for the part, and gives it to someone else... What does he want? A cookie because he travelled? Spike should pay his airfare? Who the eff is he?!?!!?
Why is some washed up bit-part actor commenting on this anyway? Obviously has some grudge with Spike from back in the day because he didn't cast him in one of his films. He should have been auditioning for some $2 role in some C-grade movie., not wasting time blowing his top off over something that is quite frankly ABOVE HIS PAY GRADE.
I FEEL IT'S MOVIES AND PLAYS YA'LL TAKE SHIT TOO SERIOUS, SPIKE LEE HAD HIS TIME NOW IT'S TYLER'S TIME WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAS TO BE ABOUT BLACK AND WHITE UNCLE TOM'S... WHEN WILL WE ALL WAKE UP BLACK WHITE PURPLE YELLOW WHATEVER, THIS WHY WE ARE DIVIDED NOW AS A COUNTRY BECAUSE OF FUCKIN LABELS, THAT WE PUT ON EACH OTHER.....

Clifton Powell is a jealous bitter old ass nigga that need to sit his bitch ass down somewhere. He's mad because Spike Lee wouldn't hire him lame ass nigga. How you're going to call the best black filmmaker of all time out on a radio show. Sam Jackson has no beef with Spike so SHUT THAT SHIT UP TOO. This dude has played nothing but pimps, women beaters, drug dealers, etc etc. Why would Spike hire someone who plays roles like that? I'm siding with Spike on this one CLIFTON POWELL IS A CLOWN
spike needs to shut the fuck up and mind his own shit ..i'm with powell on this ..oh btw spike how about how u use to depict black females as nothin but whores in your earlier flicks such as .shes gotta have it ,,school daze , mo better blues ..damn hypocrite
Cassi Davis...mmhm...was in Skool Daze, that was back in 88. Tyler Perry seemed to have put her back on the map (not that she feel off or anything, but her career has obviously taken off b/c of Perry). I remember her backstage interview, explaining how she got in contact with Perry, & after realizing who she was, I thought about Spike Lee & why he never used her in any of his upcoming films...hm...just a thought. But, I've always been a fan of Lee's "work". Don't know him personally.
There was a panel assembled not long ago that included Spike Lee, Randy Shannon (Former Univ. of Miami H/C) and a few others. Shannon spoke about the importance of athletes, especially Black athletes, obtaining their degrees before making football a priority. As Randy continued to speak, Spike began to roll his eyes as if what Randy said was a bunch of hogwash. Mr. Lee has this superior complex, especially over Blacks!

African Americans should have a sense of history of the plights of African American actors and actresses. A critical examination of this was written some time ago by Donald Bogle as starters. We should not only be able to tell stories featuring African Americans but provide opportunities of the business they wouldn't normally receive.

I love Clifton Powell, but he sounds salty about not getting hired by Spike. Spike has fluttered and bombed? How many Tyler Perry movies have been up for Oscars? Why is Spike considered one of the best directors in the world and credited with touching topics that are rarely spoken of? Last I heard, Spike has been trying to get movies made about Joe Louis and Jackie Robinson. I like Tyler, but the reality is Spike makes art and Tyler makes "New Millennium Minstrel Shows".
bcstylz 1 month ago 2
@bcstylz Oscars mean nothing! Plenty of ocscar winning directors, producers and actors are out of work. But Mr. Perry has made millions in stage, TV and cinema! And he is still making millions.....Spike Lee stopped making black movies, trying to branch out and it didn't work. Spike Lee needs to write and direct more, instead of making videos about a peer. Stop complaining and start creating Spike!

@mspinkytee It means something if you never produce work that is nominated for an Oscar. I don't want more black movies, I want more good movies starring black people, there's a difference. The Cosby show wasn't a black show, it was a good show starring black people. Also, people that create art don't produce as much product as people that create junk. BTW, Stepin Fetchit made millions, too.

Any major award is a recognition of you be at the top of your profession. No slouch wins at Cannes, Berlin and Venice. The reality is Powell is a jilted actor that is speaking of what he heard - he said he doesn't actually know what either director pays because he has never worked for either.

@wadopotato33 True, more people see Perry movies and he does make more money. It's OK if you don't like Spike Lee movies, that's subjective, but to act like nobody like Spike Lee isn't a respected director amongst his peers is a complete lie. Also, the money thing is a complete lie - the actors that Spike works with are SAG members and have agents, so if they weren't getting paid he would be sued left and right.

@wadopotato33 I don't need links - if you win in Cannes, Berlin, and Venice you are respected because you are on a list that most directors never make. The Oscars are the biggest American award, but Cannes is the biggest international award - kind of like The Super Bowl vs. The World Cup. Also, Drivin' Miss Daisy beat Do The Right Thing - good choice in your book? Still waiting for Perry's major awards. Lee won an award at Cannes on his first film.

He may or not be right about Spikes attitude but regardless. Spike makes a point about the type of roles Perry portraits and how that is viewed towards black man. Powell without knowing summed up and help Spikes point. He basically said that because of the little role opportunities that blacks have he had to play those roles. Some may be fun and one can agree but at the end is your dignity and your character that gives respect and not fame or money. One is superficial and the other one is real.

I don't understand why Spike Lee spoke about Tyler Perry movies. All of Spikes movies from Do the right thing to School Daze have been about racial discord, stereotypes and violence. From the Jiggaboos to the Wannabees, 2 demanding Black pics on the wall of a white restaurant, to dysfunctional interracial relationships (Jungle Fever) what message is spike sending out about African americans? Can he condemn Tyler? Tyler's movies invoke GOD and end in peaceful resolution. Spike's don't.
SAMSON12321 2 months ago
@SAMSON12321 When Spike Lee points out stereotypes about blacks in his movies he makes it clear that they are indeed ISSUES that need to stop. When you see stereotypes about blacks in Tyler Perry's movies they are seen as a joke, something not to be taken seriously....laughed at.
cottoncandychic 2 months ago
@cottoncandychic Not really Cotton. Spikes movies amplifies stereotypes N does not provide closure/resolution @ the end, but rather leaves the viewer dangling on an opinion. Tylers movies don't invoke buffoonery 2 embarrassing levels as some of Spikes have, but they address issues and have good resolutions. Spikes films leaves issues unaddressed as in School Daze which closes with Fishburn screaming wake up, but NOT resolving the issues. Girl 6/Jungle Fever do the same

I personally wouldn't degrade another African-American's work unless IT was degrading to my race. His work is based off real life situations. What he calls "coonery," I call exaggerations which is part of the comedy. Don't short-change white people. In this day and age, MOST of them know that we are not ALL alike.

@UltimateZeitGeist1 So what if a few blacks are working in these awful movies, look at the larger picture of what it does to black society as a whole.

Spike Lee probaly is jealous and he isn't someone i would invite to a party or want to be around, But Perrys movies really do black america a great dis service.

As Randy continued to speak, Spike began to roll his eyes as if what Randy said was a bunch of hogwash. Mr. Lee has this superior complex, especially over Blacks!
