White Folks Who Love To Complain about 'Black' Movies...

FEAR. Thats what it is, isnt it? Admit it. They only complain when its a successful movie about African Americans just trying to do right.
NEWSFLASH!
Not all blacks live in the 'hood' nor speak in ebonics and freestyle their asses off on street corners while drinking malt liquor.
Many (and its a growing population that has whitey shaking in their boots)are upwardly mobile intellegent people who may or may not live next door to you in your upper middle class neighborhoods and hold down decent well paying jobs and are articulate in their speech.

I get the strategy going on throughout all these IMDB boards where its generally the SAME posters who go to all these boards making the same complaints, only the title of the movie or television show is different. In fact, I have the right mind to list the names of the most infamous perpetraitors right here if I knew those inside the administration would'nt have the post deleted.

Trust me, if Tyler Perry cast Meryl Streep and Daniel Day-Lewis and handed them this script, this movie would still suck. People will always complain about a movie that panders to its audience, especially if it's successful. Tyler Perry admits that his films pander to a specific audience, so it's simply going to suffer the same criticisms. It's quite laughable how Tyler Perry patronizes the African American community with his sophomoric attempts at film-making and, of course, I'm not the only person who understands this.
