Some would argue that Tyler Perry movies and television shows are a reflection of "real Black life".
Really?
Your daddy dresses like a gun toting elderly woman for a living?
I know, I know - many actors have had to play roles in which they have felt uncomfortable.
Many actors have had to portray hackneyed stereotypes before they built up enough bankability to create their own characters.
I was recently on another site where a guest thought that Mr. Perry was the savior of Black cinema in America.
Really?
Aren't Ice Cube's Friday, Players' Club, Are We There Yet, Barbershop and recent Lottery Ticket better representative of real life in the varied lives of Blacks in America?
Aren't O'Shea Jackson's movies more funny in a clever way and not just silly in a moronic way?
If given the choice - Ice Cube over Tyler Perry any day.

Well Cube angle is from the Hood Up and TP is from Big Mama out. The whole transvestite thing to teach moral lessons is a first.
Depending on what part of Black America you grew up around I think you gravitate towards one as the true representation. It's either poverty or church.
Ok, if I had a choice, I would chooe Ice cube over Tyler Perry.
Have you seen his new song, something about drinking the Kool aid, I wasn't impressed at all.
