So what you're trying to tell me is that Negroes need a bait to get a message from a story. Sad...

[funnynink]

not just blacks everything needs a hook, to get attention. in any field, you have to stand out!

[wattstacks]

Brother if you are coming out with a movie. Please show black people in a possitive light. Black people that have to think and solve problems and are capable of uniting to overcome. I have to agree with Spike on this one. If tyler has to use these degenerate images to bate you, then who is the bate? Do you have to use filth to deliver a positive message to black people? There is an audiance for everthing. Thinkers and non thinkers alike.

[funnynink]

my movies don'e have color, just because I'm black don't mean I have to make movies just for blacks. I'm a universal writer. I want people to say this is a great writer who happens to be black.  Theres no race on my writing.

[MegaIntegrity]

I think some people are MISSING the point. Spike is successful in his own right, and is just providing HIS perspective. He should have spoke to Tyler in person with his concerns. But, I don't think he's hating on him. You know you can have an opinion without being labeled a hater. They are both talented, just on very different levels.

@Entropy161 well said

[TheJoec2005]

spike lee is a great film maker but i dont like the vibe i get from him, in my opinion he has a holier than thou attitude

@ezekielthemack

I agree for the most part but I also think that Perry doesn't have it in him to create something that intricate and multilayered.

[charanger04]

spike lee is a hater and a racist and i am black i so tired of spike lee he is a hypocryte who hate other races

[yugang08]

you have to admit their is a bit of a double -standard here. Like White people don't have negative stereotypes. Via rednecks, wiggas, emos, trailer-park trash, gredos, real-world cast, catholics, etc.

[Entropy161]

@sugarobyn You know that Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and/or Steve Carell's work will never be look at as/considered 'insulting to white people,' as you put it, because whites don't have a centuries-old history of racism, oppression, denigration, and systematic genocide. You knew that before you even typed that. Whites don't have to (And frankly, NEVER WILL) worry about going to see a Jack Black or Adam Sandler (For example) movie and explaining away the actor(s') acting buffoonish.

@ezekielthemack

You may have not thought long and hard about that dumb comment. Tyler Perrys movies are number 1 because he makes good movies. Why Did i get Married didnt have Madea in it and it STILL made number 1 at the box office so what are you talking about?

[Hdoubles]

All Tyler Perry Movies Have good Intention and Positive Storylines and as a black man, Im more than happy for his success but come on all the plays and movies are coonery.Bottomline

[nikecurt]

I agree that spike lee maybe not saying that on national tv, however the biggest problem is that we as black people think that if we give a negative opinion of somethin or someone, we're hating or we're jealous. Spike has always been about forwarding us as a race and as people, and his opinion stems from that, not getting money or getting more famous.

He probably gets mad or frustrated by the fame or numbers tyler perry is getting because he may feel like his life-work is being undermined.

[ezekielthemack]

His movies are number 1 because they are laden with stereotypes - no other reason.If Tyler Perry made a well thought out phychological thriller with an all black cast, it would do NOTHING at the box office, simply because white America WANTS to see blacks acting like buffoons, they are not interested in seeing blacks as intelligent and insightful people on screen.You think long and hard about that.
