Tyler Perry, The Black American Experience and the Spike Lee Contradiction

I Haven't been a critic of Tyler Perry's works which because of it's one-dimensional ethos seems simplistic and unclutteredly moralistic. Yet to deny, denounce and reproach Tyler Perry and his works is to deny denounce and reproach that basis, facet and organic-condition of the Black American Experience that has produced it.

There is this tension within Black American Intelligentsia. Which in it's simplistic form can be narrowed to perception and utility.

• Perception--Specifically, the euro-centric critique of the Black Communities generalities, the prejudices of the greater society.
• Utility--The continuing Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Dubois debate.

When Spike Lee, the Movie Director, criticizes Tyler Perry for buffoonery and minstrel revision, one has to wonder what exactly is Spike Lee's point or angst at. The themes and characters of Tyler Perry's works exist, they are real ---Is Spike Lee wishing that side of the Back American Experience be kept hidden because it causes the Spike Lee bias and faction of the Black American Experience squeamish embarrassment because that sort of caricaturization is susceptible to euro-centric denigration and it lacks the stereo-typical nihilism of Spike Lee's own works and ethos.
Tyler Perry's works are not Amos and Andy minstrels or "Gone With The Wind" affections and it's myriad examples that litter the American cultural land-scape from Michael Jackson to Oprah Winfrey. So what exactly is Spike Lee's criticism based on?
Simply creating or depicting a character as Spike Lee does who knows how to flip "The Man" off does nothing to address the schizophrenic nature and alienative imperative of the Black American Experienced realities. As a matter of fact it is mere therapeutic indulgences. it instead affirms the basic contradictions and antagonisms of American society which Spike Lee and the strident impotence of his works purports to outline in graphic detail. Nonetheless save for the entertaining value does nothing to resolve.
