Man are black folks so desperate for success that we will co-sign ANYTHING?
Look when TP was just getting on, his plays were circulated around our church going black women everywhere. They didn't look at the big picture, it was just good wholesome, morally clean humor.
Then the dude gets co-signed by Oprah and he's everywhere. White folks want to help him make movies now. He blows alllllll the way up and now he's rich.
But wait...rich from doing what?
He's cross-dressing, portraying the stereotypical overly religious, obese black woman. He hires other black men to play the stereotypical "angry black man" who verbally, physically, emotionally abuses the damsel in distress black woman and wraps it all up in a nice Christian bow and niggas eat it up.
As a black male I can't support TP's flicks at all. Black males for decades have been portrayed in the light we see TP portraying us in. From "The Color Purple" where Mista slapped up and raped poor ole' Celie to "What's Love Got To Do With It" where Ike Turner repeatedly beat the shit out of Tina physically and verbally attacks her in just about every scene after their wedding to this nonsense TP makes now.
Let's not forget such classics as "Waitin To Exhale" while we are on the subject.
They are all the same: the pure innocent black woman who just wants to be a good christian wife has to deal with this overbearing, insensitive, easily angered, super macho, sexist husband/boyfriend/lover whatever.
TP makes an ass out of Black people in general but especially black males.
What's it going to take, for the nigga to name a movie "Madea eats watermelon" for cats to see it for what it is?
Now let me be clear: I understand he was broke as fuck and probably put the dress on to save money on casting but dude is rich now, he could be uplifting black people at this point but instead he continues to slap us across the face with this stereotypical nonsense.
If a white man had made all these "Medea" movies, niggas would be HEATED. I'm talking hot under the collar but because he's black too its okay? Because he's rich that makes it right?
Man niggas are sellouts and ho's. If this nigga's movies were in anyway uplifting he never would have been so successful in the first place. Sure he's helping a few black actors & actresses get jobs but for the few hundred he hires, he embarrasses millions...digest that.
Its a shame anyone should degrade themselves for work and yet blacks do it willingly and nigga's co-sign and dance right along.
He's in a position of power and yet he's still a puppet on a string...but niggas still don't get it and they won't get it because like birds they are attracted to shiny objects and if you flash enough coins they will sell you out and wonder why nobody respects them.
He cried like a bitch when Aaron McGruder and The Boondocks lampooned him a few years back, even tried to get him kicked off the air (some "brother" huh? He can make fun of black people all day but don't you dare make fun of him) but they wouldn't have done that if he had any respect.
