Tyler Perry's the family that preys

I've never seen him give the same kind of attention to the antagonists in his movies when they are black males. but he gave a great amount of attention when he had the antagonist as a black female.

Have you ever noticed how for the past few years Blair Underwood has played the misogynist asshole or that token dude in movies. Or he plays second fiddle to some white dude like in Something New. Nothing wrong with interracial relations if love is obviously there, but come on, he did the same sorta thing in Sex in The City with the weird looking red head. Its crazy how he seems to always be willing to play the sucka-busta roles. Actors, singers, and entertainers need to learn self respect.

i've been saying that about mr. underwood for years now. he loves those roles

Blair underwood in something new?

for those that have seen it is there a reason as to why he is the way he is, and why he was dissed?

[pinkkelephant]

nope. he was just the stiff professional black man who was overbearing. no explanation to why he was that way.

@queenmother123 Right! I mean who did? I don't think anyone with sense was like OH POOR YOU! YOUR DADDY LEFT WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG! PLEASE CHEAT ON YOUR HUSBAND TO MAKE YOURSELF FEEL BETTER ITS OK! Please...

Thats bc those BM are supporting characters. No one cares about their background story bc their role is to move the story of the main character forward. Thats all. Its that way with all movies. Plus he may give a few lines to denote the SC past but rather to explain that the MC wasnt crazy to be w/ him originally. Perry isnt going to make movies w/ characters that don't cater to his main audience. If more BM were in line to see his films, the character development & roles would be different.

Oh excuse me you said brothersssss, so I guess a very small few makes a difference.

[blissfullyme1980]

Oh really I guess one black man makes a difference out of millions of others. But thats cool to know.

@blissfullyme1980 My brothers have custody of all of their daughters. It's becoming a reality in the black community with more black men in court using lawyers to fight for custody.

[blissfullyme1980]

I will probably see it, it looks like another good Tyler Perry movie but a little unrealistic.

[blissfullyme1980]

The movie"Daddy's little girls" was sympathetic to black men. I never saw it because it's about a black man who cares for 3 or 4 little girls by himself and that was unrealistic to me.

I personally couldn't make it through the film it was so annoying to me... she was acting like such a dummy and for that smug asshole?

I don't like any of Tyler Perry's movies, maybe 'diary of a mad black woman' was ok. 'Madea goes to jail' wasn't even about Madea. He only panders to a certain audience.
