I HEART Spike Lee, he's an incredible filmmaker.
Somebody needs 2 speak up when our people are cooning.
The brotha gets @ Tyler Perry, who could use a sentence
of not leaving the house wothout blackface painting 4 the
next year…I was so embarrased @ that last movie
"Madea Goes 2 Jail" which I took my mother 2 see cause
I had determined she needed a laff and this movie would
do the trick..NOT!!. Spike Lee should just make a movie called
"Madea gets Assasinated" Has any1 noticed we have'nt seen a black
DRAMA on TV in since .."NEVER"..we're casted as only comedians
and Jokers...smdh, anyway.. here’s what Spike had to say:
“We’ve had this discussion back and forth. When John Singleton
[made 'Boyz in the Hood'], people came out to see it.
But when he did ‘Rosewood,’ nobody showed up. So a lot of this
is on us! You vote with your pocketbook, your wallet. You vote
with your time sitting in front of the idiot box, and [Tyler Perry]
has a huge audience. We shouldn’t think that Tyler Perry is going
to make the same film that I am going to make, or that John Singleton
or my cousin Malcolm Lee [would make]. As African-Americans, we’re
not one monolithic group, so there is room for all of that. But at
the same time, for me, the imaging is troubling and it harkens back
to ‘Amos n’ Andy.’”
“Each artist should be allowed to pursue their artistic
endeavors, but I still think there is a lot of stuff out
today that is coonery and buffoonery. I know it’s making
a lot of money and breaking records, but we can do better.
… I am a huge basketball fan, and when I watch the games
on TNT, I see these two ads for these two shows
(Tyler Perry’s “Meet the Browns” and “House of Payne”),
and I am scratching my head. We got a black president,
and we going back to Mantan Moreland and Sleep ‘n’ Eat?
Is Spike “A HATER” or telling the truth when others won't???
