Spike forgets that the white man is the enemy. Such a shame to see black on black hate like that.

Spike's monstrous ego has always compensated for his physical height!

Enough is enough,comments like the ones Spike makes is what's keeping us from being a collective. Stop the hate and just talk to one another you have more in common than you think!

I think that Spike Lee needs not to form his oppions about of anyone's movies. I love Tyler Perry's movies. I think that he his an amazing comedian, actor and director. He shows a great creativeness when it comes to TELLING IT LIKE IT IS...in a real way not what he think that others want to except it...I personally didn't like any of Spike Lee's movies. They were RAGGEDY! KEEP DOING YOU TYLER BECAUSE I LOVE WHAT YOUR DOING, YOU TELL IT LIKE IT IS! Me and my daughter love you and we have your whole collection. Don't allow him to get to you because we all know that misery love company! Signed Tanashia and Leah

Spike Lee has the right to his own opinion. Thats his opinion just like Tyler Perry has an opinion. Spike Lee has always spoke his mind. It doesn't matter if you are black or white.We all have freedom to speak how we feel. Some people do not like Tyler Perry movies or Spike Lee movies. We all have an opinion.

Spike has his opinions, but, he also needs to understand there's meanings behind movies (he should knoe that). . There are people such as Madea and the Brown Family in the real world and not too many directors can make a movie which would make you laugh at such families. .My personality is such like Madeas', but, I have never reacted due to not wanting to go to jail...Keep up the GOOD work Mr Perry. . not all violent movies have to be too serious. .There is a light at the end of the tunnel when we see these types of movies that can show reality and we are still able to hold our heads up and laugh with the world cause if we didn't there would be much destruction in other lives as well. . . :~)

i know he's not talking after he made She Hate Me. i liked the movie but there was no "positive message" in it. so many people don't even like spike lee movies and they're black and they're not ignorant people either. at least tyler perry has a message in each and every one of his films, an honest to goodness positive one. it may not always be "politically correct", but neither are all people on the earth! he's acting like every movie is supposed to be putting black people on a pedastal, but tyler perry tells the truth. every race has it's shortcomings, but to say that a race has none is stupid, and that's what spike lee is trying to say.

My Girlfriend and I was just speaking five minutes ago about how Black Americans have never had any unity among each other. They wonder why their are so many white actors in Hollywood and so few blacks. It's because when whites get into a position they pull up everything that looks like them. With Blacks they do the opposite(Pull those down who look like them) For those who don't know what the opposite is. I enjoy Tyler's work. His movies are very entertaining it's good clean fun and it has a positive message. I love Madea she's from the old school and demands respect. I take my 70 yr. old Mom to the movies and she loves Tylers work and then becasue my sister works all the time when it comes out on DVD my sister buys it and we watch his movies with her as a family. I've seen all Tylers movies but the recent one, I can do bad all by myself which we'll wait to watch as a family when it comes out on DVD. Spike Lee I don't remember watching any of your movies with my 70 yr old mother. Your movies are too violent, too much sex and cursing. What do you think She's Got To Have It Was? What was your message? That Black Women are Hot in the Pants. Or Jungle Fever? Black Men can't resist white women and dislike women that looks like their mother or there's a crack head in everyone's family that will eventually get killed by their father and have their poor mother grieving? Lee Stop drinking so much Hater Aide and show your Brother Support. Tyler is doing a fine job. Support The Unity!

Spike Lee shouldn't be jealous of Tyler Perry. Spike helped open the door for Tyler. He should be proud of Tyler and happy that Tyler has become so successful.Every Tyler Perry movie I go to see the theater is packed.

Leave the movie and Tyler Perry alone. Why don't you go around and attack the distributors who won't send movies for, about and by African Americans. You had your time, now let Tyler Perry have his.

Let us please learn to respect others' opinions. To suggest that Mr. Lee doesn't have some valid points is to peer thru the eye of a needle. Part of being Spike Lee is being controversial. That is part of his persona, his marketability. He arrived on a wave of controversy, presenting the distasteful, the controversial. Someone has to do. Mr. Perry, on the other hand, presents life to us in a varied range of emotions-from sad to hilarious. I commend them both for being the geniuses they are. It's like Malcom (X) and Martin (Luther King, Jr.): what made each of them effective was not that they agreed with each other, but that they didn't, that they respresented two extremes. Opinions are necessary. They are important. If Mr. Lee doesn't have a right to his own opinion of Mr. Perry's work, then how hypercritical of us to have an opinion of Mr. Lee. Could Mr. Lee had been more constructive in his criticism? Perhaps he could have. But, that is all together a different matter. This is not Black or White, good or bad, right or wrong. It's just an opinion.
