Why The BEST Black Actors REFUSE to Film With Tyler Perry! Reaction hypocrites? Crazy 🔥💣💨

[Music] what's up with it you watching the bay bomber TV yeah we about to check out this video from the YouTube channel inside the industry and the title is why the best black actors refuse the film with Tyler Perry yeah man Tyler Perry definitely got some big movies out there you know what I'm saying but it's really not no big stars in those movies like that but I will say he probably created the few though you know what I'm saying but um yeah overall though like he really don't got no movies with like no Wesley Snipes no Denzel and stuff like that you know what I'm saying so I don't know maybe it's something there you know what I mean maybe it's a reason a lot of the big black actors don't um film with Tyler Perry I don't know you know what I'm saying I haven't checked out the video don't know what they talking about but let's check it out and see what they talking about about a lot of stuff that's on today is coery buffoonery and I know it's making a lot of money breaking records but we could do better because each artist should be allowed to pursue the artistic Endeavor but I still think there a lot of stuff that's on today I don't know man if just like Tyler Perry he paints a very negative betrayal the black men we ain't that bad like Jesus Christ like Tyler Perry Mak like we ain't we put too much pressure on Tyler Perry you know what I mean he ain't put nobody on the people that been in his Productions they not famous all them can walk through the mall without security I don't know man sometimes I wonder if Tyler Perry is like he's going on he's on a crusade to make black men look as bad as possible so women don't want us no more so he can have all the men himself if you've watched a bunch of Tyler movies you might have noticed something there aren't really any A-list black male actors or A-list actors in general showing up in his films and that's surprising when you think about it because Perry is one of Hollywood's top black producers with a huge budget literally billions of dollars so why is that now Tyler Perry's got an incredible personal story he went from being homeless to becoming a multi-millionaire who owns a jet in one of the largest movie studios in the country honestly Perry's Journey could probably be his best movie yet but instead of seeing that in spiring story we keep getting hit with the same old formula Perry in a Wigan dress playing media or another character with a similar Vibe it's no wonder that bigname directors like Spike Lee have been vocal about their criticism the man has a huge audience and he's Tyler's very smart you know what he's done he started out you know with these plays and church buses would pull up bought his own jet you know you can buy a jet you got money but at the same time for me just imagery is is is troubling and it's worth mentioning that Spike Lee is super tight with a-listers like Wesley Snipes Denzel Washington and Samuel L Jackson so his words carry a lot of weight in the industry hello I'm Wesley Snipes I want to talk about my friend [ __ ] Lee it's pretty well known that [ __ ] Lee and Tyler Perry haven't always been on the best of terms despite both being influential voices in Black Cinema they've had their fair share of disagreements while both of them have made significant contributions to showcasing Black Culture on screen they've taken very different paths to do so the tension between them really started to get public attention around 2009 when Spike Lee who's never been one to hold back his opinions criticized Perry's films and TV shows he called them out for what he saw as coery and buffoonery essentially saying that Perry's work was reinforcing negative stereotypes about the black community is cery buffoonery and I know it's making a lot of money breaking records but we could do better Spike didn't hold back in an interiew I ain't going to lie though man to be honest I know some wild ass black folks you know what I'm saying a lot of times mother do be [ __ ] up you know what I'm saying so got crazy Granny's and crazy families you know what I'm saying but for him to keep on using like the same formula though I could see it's getting played out though for realview with black Enterprise where he compared Perry's content to the type of stereotypical depictions found on what he called the idiot box a pretty harsh jab at TV in general a lot of this is on us you know we you vote with your pocketbook your wallet you vote with your time sitting in front of the idiot box sure he acknowledged that Perry is smart and knows how to draw in an audience and let's be real Perry does have a massive fan base and he's no slouch when it comes to creating content that people love but Spike wasn't too happy with the image Perry's movies and shows were promoting he basically accused Perry of pandering to what would get the best ratings even if that meant playing into harmful stereotypes and honestly a lot of people think Spike might have a point Tyler Perry's brand of Comedy often leans on simplistic and stereotypical portrayals and while he argues that he's creating jobs for black actors and making tons of of money critics say that's not a good enough reason to keep pushing those kinds of images it's like saying that just because a crack dealer or a heroin dealer is making money and keeping some cash in the community that somehow justifies the harm they're causing or think about big corporations that make tons of money and employ a lot of people but also push out smaller companies with quality products because they flood the market with cheap Goods the point is I ain't going to lie I will say though they kind of seem like they hating a little bit cuz like what's stopping them from going to make a move movie you know what I'm saying especially a Spike Lee like to name yourself so if you don't like the movies he making won't you make some movies to um counter them movies you know what I'm saying make some movies that you think should be getting made but really Perry doing whatever the hell he want to do that's his business whatever kind of movie he want to make you know what I'm saying successful so [ __ ] he getting supported somewhere making money doesn't automatically mean what you're doing is right or good for the community Spike Lee on the other hand has always been about creating movies that celebrate Black Culture without falling into those old tired stereotypes sure his films may not always be Blockbusters at the box office but Spike's proud of the stories he tells for him it's all about showing love and respect to the black community through his art but Tyler Perry didn't just sit back and let Spike Le's criticism slide he fired back and he did it hard it all went down in 2009 when Perry was on 60 Minutes and they asked him about what Spike had been saying about his work Perry didn't hold back he let loose and said he was completely overhearing Spike Le's name he sounded Fed Up Perry went so far as to say that Spike could go straight to Hell punch the hell out of you say something else that is my answer to [ __ ] Le go to hell go he wasn't in the mood for any of Spike's critiques especially the ones about coonery and buffoonery Perry was basically telling Spike to mind his own business and stopped taking shots at him and other heavyweights like Oprah and Clint Eastwood he flat out said I'm so sick of hearing about damn Spike Lee Spike can go straight to hell you can print that I am sick of him talking about me I am sick of him saying this is a [ __ ] this is a buffoon he talked about Whoopi he talked about Oprah he talked about me he talked about Clint Eastwood Spike needs to shut the hell up even though Tyler Perry clapped back at spike in a big way a lot of fans weren't buying his response they started pointing out some real issues with Perry's movies like the way they often rely on overly stereotypical portrayals of black families and Black Culture then there are those overly dramatic films where black men and women are depicted as weak evil or just plain problematic and let's not forget the behind the scenes rumors about a toxic work environment forced religious practices and whispers about Perry's stance on homo plus people have noticed that in many of his films dark-skinned black male actors are often cast as the villains I'm not a Tyler Perry fan so this is what I got to say it's funny how he got all this money to do everything but the right thing and this lets me know that he's scared of white people and he has to stay in this weird box these criticisms have been floating around for a while and even folks within the industry are talking about it take Chris Rock for example he's pointed out a recurring pattern in Perry's movies Rock noticed that there aren't many kind respectful darkskinned boyfriends in Perry's films to make his point he even brought up Tupac Shakur suggesting that Perry's movies could use a bit more diversity in their characters he joked Tupac might be a political leader if he was alive but then again Tupac might be in a Tyler Perry movie right now so you don't know no Tupac might be the bad dark-skinned boyfriend in the Tyler Perry movie basically Rock was saying that if Tupac who was a huge figure in his day were to appear in a Tyler Perry film he probably wouldn't be cast as the hero based on how Perry tends to cast his characters Tupac would more likely end up playing the stereotypical bad guy Rock was just laying out his thoughts on how things seem to work in the world of Tyler Perry's movies he even went further adding I would hope he's a senator but he might be kicking Jill Scott down a flight of stairs which is his way of saying that the rolls offers often don't reflect the full spectrum of black experiences cultural critic Jamila lemu also jumped into the conversation she wrote an open letter to Tyler Perry which NPR published AOS where she didn't hold back her feelings about his use of stereotypes in his work Lemieux was straight up with Perry saying that through his character media the country has laughed at one of the most important members of the black community the Beloved matriarch she wrote I just can't quite get with seeing mother deer played by a 6'3 man with prosthetic breasts flopping in the Wind our mothers and grandmothers deserve much more than that heck our fathers and grandfathers deserve more Mr Perry you have told the Hollywood Old Guard to kiss your backside and I appreciate that brother but many black folks have expressed some of the very same attitudes about your work that white critics have Lemieux's point was clear while Perry might be sticking it to Hollywood in some way I ain't going to lie I will say like everybody not the same you know what I'm saying like some people really do have wild ass grandmas and like that you know what I'm saying saying and got grandmas that'll probably shoot your ass too you know what I'm saying a lot of people do got families that turn up for real you know maybe he just represent for the Ry folks man he's also playing into some harmful stereotypes that don't do justice to the black community so Chris Rock Jamila Lemieux and others are all on the same page here pointing out that Tyler Perry's casting and storytelling choices might be playing into certain biases they're questioning how this mindset could be impacting the film industry and the way black characters are portrayed on screen and honestly this issue of colorism and stereotyping isn't new to Hollywood it's something that's been around for a while and lately Hollywood's been under a lot of scrutiny for it media campaigns and hashtags have been popping up everywhere bringing attention to some pretty shady practices remember Harvey Weinstein he was one of the first major figures to drag the industry into a negative Spotlight with all those a allegations back in 2017 now there's even a new documentary spilling the tea on Hollywood's darker side exposing some of the power players who allegedly prey on aspiring actors fast forward to the # me2 movement and Hollywood has been hit with scandals left and right Kevin Hart had to step down as the Oscars host in 2019 over some old homophobic tweets and the hash Oscar so white campaign is still calling for more diversity and better recognition for people of color and marginalized communities Hollywood's reputation has really taken a nose dive over the years once a place where everyone want wanted to be it's now seen as a bit of a mess even the Hollywood Walk of Fame which used to be the ultimate symbol of success has lost some of its shine it's more like a walk of shame these days especially with all the stars who have fallen from Grace let's rewind for a minute to a February afternoon in 1940s America a time when Hollywood was really the center of the entertainment universe that's when Hattie McDaniel made history by winning an Oscar for best supporting actress for her role in Gone With the Wind she was the first African-American to ever win an Academy Award and you'd think that would have been a moment of pure celebration right well not quite I sincerely hope I shall always be a credit to my race and to the musen picture industry my heart is too full to tell you just how I feel even though it was a groundbreak ain't gonna lie I will say though people need to make their own Oscars then you know what I'm saying black folks need to do their own thing make their own award shows and stuff and basically we did have our own award shows and stuff from BET BET got bought out by the white folks so now we ain't got for real for real you know what I'm saying but uh yeah man do their own damn shows get their own rewards man that like made out of real gold anyway you know what I'm saying so y'all winning anyway and then like far as Tyler Perry style of movies just his style of movie y'all got a problem make y' own movies they got a different style ining achievement the Oscars back then were still a segre ated Affair Patty was forced to sit at a separate table away from the rest of the cast at the back of the room instead of her wi being a symbol of progress it was a reminder of the Dee rooted racial discrimination that permeated Hollywood and the country it wasn't so much a celebration as it was a stark reminder of segregation and exclusion fast forward 80 years and you'd hope things would be different but guess what Hollywood is still grappling with these same issues sure there's a lot of talk about diversity and inclusion but the actions haven't quite caught up the 2020 Oscars for example weren't without their share of racial controversies which at this point viewers and insiders alike have almost come to expect and don't even get me started on the snubs like how Lupita nyongo got overlooked for her incredible performance in the 2019 film us that one still stings for a lot of people now Switching gears to Tyler Perry's corner of the entertainment world you can't help but notice a pattern in his movies and TV shows it's like if you're a dark-skinned black actor chances are you're going to be cast as the villain or some kind of negative of character just look at Steve Harris in Diary of a Mad Black Woman he plays Charles mcarter a successful lawyer who's a complete nightmare of a husband he straight up tells his wife he's leaving her for another woman and then treats her like garbage it's a brutal portrayal and it's not an isolated case in Perry's films a marage has run his course is over what what are you trying to say I'm saying is over Charles then there's Blair Underwood who's been around for a long time over four decades actually and is known for his role in La law he shared a story about his early days in Hollywood and a conversation with the legendary I ain't going to lie I would say like that last scene with the lady like that real thing like black dudes do come up and then leave their black wives and give white women just like football players they ass sometime they come up and they marry a white woman so [ __ ] that [ __ ] ain't off bar Sydney poier back in the80s it was super rare to see black faces on TV or in movies and when you did the roles were often limited and steeped in stereotypes this lack of representation left black audiences without much to relate to on screen Blair Underwood and Denzel Washington were pretty much the go-to black actors for leading roles back then and they were widely praised for their work but even with their success Hollywood hadn't really changed much by the 9s according to Underwood every black actor and actress no matter how talented or well-known had to hustle for the same few roles it was like a never-ending cycle of competition for the same limited opportunities it didn't matter if you were a veteran or a newcomer the challenges were the same across the board push back like why we get why they only want to see us as slaves or in the hood and Hollywood and it's not just Blair Underwood who experienced this you've got other actors like Philip vanleer who got his chance to play a villain in one of Perry's movies as a dealer or ion Overman who played a shady assistant district attorney in media goes to jail and let's not forget Ron Rico Lee who was cast as Chuck in assistant district attorney and Brian White who played Randy the abusive boyfriend and I can do bad all by myself if you I ain't going to lie man I'm going to leave that right there man you know what I'm saying but like man I ain't going to lie I think they hating on Tyler Perry a little bit especially like the other film producer like if you got a problem with his films make your own films you know what I'm saying that's just like a damn rapper or something like we don't like your rap so go rap going to make your own rap then you know what I'm saying but yeah man Tyler Perry just doing his thing and doing his own thing how he do it you know what I'm saying [ __ ] however somebody handle their business or whatever they do that's their business for real though you know what I mean overall don't [ __ ] a movie is a movie a movie is entertainment you know what I'm saying and [ __ ] it might not be and some of the Tyler Perry movies not be relatable to everybody but [ __ ] that [ __ ] really relatable to some people for real though you know what I mean and [ __ ] it look like he got the uh recipe right now he like the um most successful um black filmmaker right now at the time you know what I'm saying and with um Nat Tyler Perry movies don't me [ __ ] I just think he doing his own thing man he found the formula and he running with the [ __ ] you feel me and [ __ ] you think about it it's just [ __ ] ratchet right now anyway ratchet females and all that ratchetness and [ __ ] and [ __ ] this [ __ ] been going on for minute so [ __ ] it's definitely some Rowdy ass black folks out there that really turn up like the movies you know what I'm saying but [ __ ] if you want to um show people ass something else [ __ ] do that make that movie then you know what I'm saying but yeah let me know what y'all think in the comments like share and subscribe to the bab bomber TV until next time peace yeah
