Nappy Headed Black Child

my distaste for Tyler Perry productions is well known. I hate the fact that he cross dresses b/c it effeminizes black men. There is a long tradition of black men having to dress up like women in order to be successful. Its a horrible indignity that he contributes to and as a student of theater Tyler Perry should know better. That and he promotes a certified coon in the character Mr. Brown again as a student of theater he should know better. The two things make Tyler Perry Completely Unsupportable to me.

Now The episode clowns the eff out of Tyler Perry but there is a distinct anti gay tone to the episode as is generally the deal with Riley but even more so in this episode particularly but thats what the character Riley is intended to represent. Now i bring it up because i really dislike the idea that a man is made a man on the basis of who he has sex with and how much he has sex and this is the basis of the backlash on Tyler Perry Suing talking about him being exposed and calling TP gay. Which to me begs the question so what if he is does it matter Why are we still so anti gay.

And lets be real i know he doesn’t like his masculinity called into question as at least in his mind he thinks he doing something positive. And then you have the anti Christian stans the boondocks stans and the TP stans. Fact is, its all speculation. Reality is TP is flexing his muscle and his influence cuz he didnt like what was said. Which is one the risks run when u do satire. If your doing a good job your going to piss somebody off.
