    I love Spike Lee because he’s honest. He’s interested in tellling our varied stories. He’s a historian. Money is obviously not his number one motivation. Now Tyler Perry, I don’t hate him but I cannot watch Madea, because she does not represent any black grannie that I have ever known or heard talk about. She’s a ridiculous caricature of the black granma. Maybe black folks go to see these movies because we can say, this fool is just that, and at least Im not like this. They can laugh at Madea’s uber ghetto attitude. In the end, some create art for love, and other create “art?” for money.
