The Tyler Perry Epidemic

Madea, For Colored Girls, The family that Preys....all these are films of a man named Tyler Perry.  Now I am all for a black man doing good and showing situations of under spoken segments of the world. But his works do seem to have one very irritating effect. They seem to make otherwise rational black women into raving anti male lunatics. What in the Tyler Perry is going on?  Is this a disease being trasnmitted from woman to woman vicariously  or is it something else? I believe I have found the root of the problem. Its not that woman are delusional or anything but sadly misguided. See in todays media there seems to be a lack of investigation of the inverse.  The opposite side of the equation as far as relationships go. Case in point I know a woma  who is 5'2 and 250pounds and says she can only date men 6'3 and with a 6-pack. Now lets be real if a man who works hard in the gym to get a 6 pack is into women I don't think hes going to want her exactly. See the new media is all about putting the blame on the MAN. Blame men for everything going wrong in the world. Its as if the media wants to pit black men and women against each other. The method that I see the most is making it seem as if black women can not get married. Yes sistahs can get married just as easy as any other race of women. The problem comes in when you see these public discussions on what men are doing wrong as opposed to what women are doing wrong. Lets state some basic facts here. NOBODY has ever sat in their car at a red light and had someone run up on them with a gun to relationship jack them."BREAK YO SELF...WE'S TOGETHER NOW!!" NO that doesn't happen. YOU choose to be with that person. YOU choose to stay in the relationship and go thru much much drama. Happiness comes from when you take the nessicary responsibility from your actions. You can not control your partner but you can control how much of their crap you'll take. Life is not a Tyler Perry movie where your 6'5 aunt is going to tell you what needs to change in your life. Life lessons are not usually followed by some song and dance routine. Your relationship is not a stage play. You have to take control and get out of life what you want. Lets stop making life a Tyler Perry production and make it your production ladies.
