DJVids - Tyler Perry vs Boondocks discussion @ LA Black Pride

As a correspondent for Reel Gay TV, I interviewed a discussion panel of prominent African-American LGBT filmmakers at this years' L.A. Black Pride Weekend about the 'Pause' episode of the popular Adult Swim series 'The Boondocks.' Here are some of their thoughts about the importance and impact of the episode and the broader topic of homophobia in mainstream media.

I don't care whether Tyler is gay or not my problem is his work itself it's the type of coonery that my grandparents and great grandparents stood against the Boondocks episode was satire all their episodes are satirical Tyler Perry's plays, shows and movies are ridiculous its adding to the stigma that blacks are clowns the only thing missing is the white dudes in blackface.

I thought this was america where we had freedom of expression. I think that Boondocks Is funny and as a black person that grew up in the ghetto, I think it is exaggerated, but it is also real. as for the tyler perry thing I hate movies where men dress up as women, it is just kind of weird.
