5 Reasons They Love & Hate Tyler Perry

5) Haters say: “Racist hollywood loves him”

Perry has been strongly supported by racist Hollywood because he is the black man willing to wear a dress to make people laugh.  Had he only presented intelligent, progressive films on serious issues, he likely would not have been embraced as readily as he has been.  The ironic thing about Hollywood embracing Tyler Perry buffoonery is that by playing the role he wants them to play, he is liberating other black filmmakers to be a bit more independent.  Is this a good thing or a bad thing?  I’ll let you be the judge.
