At one point a character says she likes the dude's films because they're positive depictions of black people, no cursing or n-bombs. I've heard that argument so many times about Perry, and it couldn't be farther from the truth. Perry's films are celebrations of black stereotypes. I realize lots of black people do indeed act like the character depicted in his films, hell some of my family fits the bill. But his comedy relies entirely on this shtick, and the works he creates are only dominated by Amos and Andy-esque black folk clowning, and independent women who have moved away from the church only to come back in the end.
