Spike Lee vs Tyler Perry - On "Coonery" In Black Entertainment

Diane said...: I think Tyler Perry is trying to teach faith and personal responsibility. He also made "Why Did I Get Married" that didn't have Madea and Mr. Brown in it.

People complained about the Huxtable's not portraying the average black family as well, even though Cosby was breaking those negative stereotypes. I heard a lot of blacks say "that's not real". So.... showing a black man and woman that's hard working, that love each other, and are committed to their marriage and raising responsible children, is responded to with disdain by some.
If anything, we should be doing more to reinforce positive images of black people.

Spike Lee movies tend to have a message that "we are so inferior we have to blame the white man for our misery", that tends to reinforce counterproductiveness.; 8:39 PM

The Use Of "Slave/Jim Crow Images" In Black Political Debate - Evaluate The Agenda

The use of "slave imagery" is common in ideological discourse among Black people today. The best way to appraise the veracity of the agenda of the presenter is to distinguish between those images which are used to cajole Black people into "Ideological Unity" versus those images used to bring consciousness to the sad fact that in far too many cases today - the man holding the gun is a Black man, his disturbed consciousness allowed to fester because the balance of our community organizers are focused on external political affairs. They sell us on the notion that when our people assist their political/ideological external partners in their success that these individuals who suffer from BENIGN NEGLECT will be cured - no longer terrorizing us. In the circular reference that is their struggle - the more damaged individuals that matriculate through the local institutions that they now control per their struggle, the louder their call for continued UNITY and redirection lest our community's long time external adversaries start terrorizing us again. They successfully avoid community scrutiny of their stewardship of our key "Human Resource Development" institutions.
