Probably nobody here knows who he is, but he is one of hollywoods hottest directers. All his movies seem to do well in the box office dispite he characters being one dimensional, and the plots being very lame. So why is this? because Tyler Perry is black. Tyler Perry started out as a church paster and had these plays that he would preform for his church. Eventually hestarted making movies. Dispite the fact that these movies aren't very well written and even IMDB.com gives all of his movies very poor reviews they still do well because black people with no idea about what makes a good movie go see them. Nobody would consider them racist though. However if a white person roots for a white football player then he is a racist. Sorry it's the way the media wants it.
