There are lots of ppl who aren’t fans of Tyler and his work. It seems to happen EVERY DAMN TIME when a black person (male or female) becomes successful here comes the hateration. I think folks like Spike are jealous of Tyler b/c for some time now Tyler’s got it going on. He’s in control. He brings to screen stories that ppl can relate to. Tyler has tapped into subjects that his audiences find interesting and some have called his plays, movies, and sitcoms learning experiences. While ppl like Spike are spewing words of jealousy, Tyler’s bringing what millions of black ppl wanna see: themselves.

He hires more black actors than any other director or owner of a studio. I haven’t seen so many “sisters and brothers” in this many movies, plays, and sitcoms since I don’tknow when. It’s great to even see black ppl as extras in the background. So why is Spike hating on Tyler?

Jealousy’s the first thing that comes to my mind. Spike has always reminded me of the crab in the barrel syndrome. Since he hasn’t done anything worthwhile and he’s down and out, he wants to bring somebody, anybody down with him.

You cant sit here and think about fighting about rights when; only when your parents and grandparents fought this battle for yor. The fact that you thin your opinion matters is for the fact that these people fought for you. If you want to hide that means full of shame and that your ancestors fought for nothing. You should be proud to be non contested about your opinion and be proud of the road your fathers have provided, anything contested just showes you dont understand the rights towards all MENS freedoms.

Ok Splikeno disrespet. Just a few things and if you see this witch you probably wont. But really boycott the movie. For realok I 100%just agree that the sh*t ithat happened to your ancestorsis sick degrading and just plan horribe. There is not now and never will be any thinh that anyone can do to really makw the thing done to youpeople. But I truly think you boycotting this movie is probably because you didn’t do it first! I think yeah it is over the top and a lil gory. But seriously come on I know your ancestors woldbe in the theatrescheering and screeming at the actor the loved anddmning the one they don’t. I think your ancestors thatwent througjt probebly worse than this are lucky to have someone show they woulda like to handle these punksthat thoughtthey were really going to try and own a fellow human being. Forhey the fact that your ancestors were sold by some of there own. Get behind the onethat stood up and said F this and fought back and newthat they where more than what they were sold for that they were people and not going to die without a fight. Django just show a good story of a man that had enough and it was good go see it man and instead of being angery you didn’t think of it first be happy someone finally did

I understand Spike’s frustration. There is an extreme lack of positive black images in the media. America is the world leader in mass media, which educates more and more these days because people don’t read anymore. So we are left with the usually negative images we see and hear about so often on the news, BET, VH1, YouTube, world star, xxl, radio stations, satellite radios – etc etc pick your racial poison. Now I must agree that Tyler Perry does employ many black, but at what cost? Spike Lee makes movies like Miracle at St Anna – every time I mention this movie – people ask about it because they haven’t seen it. How about a Nat Turner movie, a Marcus Garvey movie, a movie about moors, great African kingdoms or something else historically empowering for a downtrodden and oppressed race of people? Jewish people get countless hero stories that are made by respectable directors and not shock artists. America has countless patriot movies to indoctrinate their white youth with. Most of today’s indoctrination of black youth is detestable and self destructive. I’m not saying Django will be a bad movie, or eve negative. But something as serious as slavery should not be put in the hands of a man like Quentin Tarantino – period. A Jewish man directed Schindler’s List – not an American, Italian, Japanese, or a German. Black people need to isolate themselves somewhat from white male dominated society. We need to be more reliant on each other to get the right message out. Instead of just sayin it’s a good movie because the slave revolts. We should be demanding for more movies with black heroes and heroines that aren’t a reheated stereotype.

@Steph…thanks for the recommendation. Giving out books is my networking plan. If you are in Canada hit me up at my blog, I am in Toronto.

Ramses, with all due respect I will pass brother, like I mentioned, I am in Toronto, so shits in my face daily, that’s why home schooling is the way to go.

Because in America we have willful ignorance….see people typically don’t like what I write on here but it’s because they don’t read enough to be upset. Normally they get their info from mass media (Satan). Because of that, when they hear what I say, it’s usually met with the “Massa wouldn’t do that to us” mentality. I was having a conversation (or so I thought) with a sister last night and she proved my point. She wanted to figure out the frustration that men have in society and then the conversation devolved into black people in general. And I was so frustrated because, in typical fashion, I saw a female who really didn’t want to have an honest discussion. Most want to debate. Not discuss. And usually the weak men want to debate too, instead of discuss the issues. Big difference in debate and discuss. When you debate, you haven’t come to an agreement on what the issue(s) are. When you discuss, you have already agreed to what the issue(s) are and you strategize how to move forward in terms of solving issue. However, when I really started bringing the hammer, she wanted to avoid the discussion. When she saw she her points weren’t valid, then it became a situation in which she tried to exit the conversation in a childish manner. And ended up telling her that black people are babies. My frustration with them in general is justified because typically when you try to hold their feet to the fire, they tend to respond in childish ways. For example, on this site, when you say something that black people don’t like, they normally, no matter male or female, attack you personally. I’ve seen countless times where I, Mack, or Sankofa be ridiculed for just expressing different points-of-views. I have never attacked anyone on here personally because i don’t know them like that. I talk about the issues that affect black people and try to offer solutions in the process, even if it means leaving the ones who are not worth shit alone. Whether you like the solution or not, it’s still an alternative. And when I say leave them alone, I’m only talking about the many that exists who aren’t worth shit. Matter fact even shit has a purpose. You can use shit to fertilize crops to feed people. There are some black people who, by their mere presence, cause more harm than good. That is truth. But while people on here get personal with me and my comrades, their children are being taught how to embrace homosexuality (bestiality) in the public school systems they send their children too and they say nothing. How do I know that this exist, yet as their parents, they don’t. Before they get on here and try to bash me, they might need to take a deeper look at what I say and stop trying to debate everything like we in college. This is real life now people. It’s either do or don’t do. That’s it. Have these women even paid attention to the budget situation at all. Do they realize that their is a real possibility that their benefits can be cut off like next year. But see these lazy females have an expectation that welfare will be there. Just like they have an expectation that when they turn on their water in the house, fresh liquid will pour out. What if it didn’t? What would you do? Hell your government is in debt. What makes you think they can bail you out like that when they need bailouts from other countries (China) to keep operating? You were completely surprised by me putting up those links and that’s scary!!!! Your children are being taught by faggots who have an agenda and that agenda is to turn your child into a sex slave by the time they reach college, or sooner. yet these black people want to get on here and attack me? I say what I say out of selfishness. I will be able to look my Creator in the face and say I tried to tell them but they wouldn’t listen and you knew my frustration too. I share the info. That’s love enough cause really I don’t have to tell these clowns shit. I’m not even against a white couple adopting black children necessarily because if they come from an environment where their own neglects them, then they need love from somewhere and their have been black children raised by whites who have loved them dearly and that’s truth. However, i do have a serious problem with two fags adopting and raising any children, let alone black ones. Find some dyke to procreate with and do it that way but this shit? Hell nah. But this is what happens when you don’t take care of your own. Your kids get adopted (and screwed) by fags and they are so organized, they even fight in the courts to say it’s discrimination when they can’t. I see why the youth have no respect for this present generation of blacks. when they let them get put in situations like that I wouldn’t either. But black people can hate me for my comments all they want to on here. Doesn’t bother me one iota. But when their children turn out gay after years of public schooling, they can’t say I didn’t warn them. I don’t mind disagreements. That’s cool. But negroes tend to be too emotional to just disagree. They want to question your manhood on here (men and women). They make slick comments on here like people can’t read the sarcasm. Real ponk shit really because I don’t make it personal with them but it must mean that what I’m saying must be true about them. I talk passionately about the issues. I’m not an angry black man or none of that. I’m just passionate about the issues. But the moment I stop writing is the moment black people better fear. Because if I stop writing then it means it’s over. If I stop writing, then it means I don’t care anymore and I am damn sure close. Black people need to stop with this if i don’t like what you say mentality I don’t like you kick. it’s retarded. It’s freaking immature really.

Ramses,

I can’t believe the links you sent us! I never went to public school and I live in Canada. Please, enlighten me, how come parents have no clue about what their kids are reading at school?

One of the main message of Think Big is if an individual reads one to two books per week of substance (it has to be a book which interests the reader because it will keep him/her motivated), he can accomplish anything he wants later in life. But he needs discipline and rigor!

Sankofa,

I recommend the book Think Big of Dr. Ben Carson for your kids. It had a big impact on my life and gave me the courage to have a law degree!
