Tyler Perry, the director who won the humanitarian honor at the Academy Awards, spoke of unity during his acceptance speech Sunday and said his mother taught him as a boy to refuse hate and refuse to succumb to “blanket judgments.”

Then you would have to deal with the "but he looks out for black actors and actresses" crowd

I give him props for that because he does a lot more than any other Hollywood mogul by far but there is a lot that you can unpack as far as the many stereotypes that he uses (as Madea and other pushed in his movies and shows) that made him a billionaire

Joseline's Cabaret: Miami Sneak Peek on WE TV. After seeing that, I can't be too critical of Tyler Perry, even though I don't particular care for his work.
