all money ain’t good money…

- Duh promised land!

- Baltimo’?

If you’re trying to say it’s the mammie character that offends you, then, first of all, you don’t know much about Black American culture. Matriarchs have been the foundation of our families for centuries; this is an extension of our African heritage. Because he makes his version comedic doesn’t mean it’s stereotypical or offensive.

Secondly, half of Perry’s movies hardly even deal with Madea– Daddy’s Little Girls: a single black working class father trying to find love and raise his children, Why Did I Get Married: a group of successful, educated black couples who are dealing with the pressures of marriage and find ways to heal their relationships or themselves, The Family that Preys: assesses how money can lead to corruption and greed. Even the ones WITH Madea all centered on spirituality and promoting strong family bonds. Do your homework before you knock the dude.

I was never into the chitlin curcuit, and I do get tired of stereotypical, shuckin and jiving productions, but I cannot call Perry’s films any of these.

I’m so glad this is in my city (ATL!!). Blessings to you my brotha! This is an historic event, and if you think you can do better, let this inspire you to do more.

he is UNTHREATENING and GENIAL and

GOOD NATURED —- nothing wrong with

that.

I just hope that he realizes that

“Medea” is a diversion —- and that

he grows enough to produce art.
