Is Tyler Perry Holding the Black Community Back?

Below is a quote from John Singleton on Tyler Perry and other men portraying women in films. I have heard many people comment on thier dislike in Perry's Madea character, claiming that it depicts stereotypes and is degrading amongst the Black race. I have also heard others comment on how Perry is bringing a positive image of Black families back to TV as well as the Silver Screen while bringing religion to the forefront. Would love to hear what you all think of the quote as well as views on Tyler Perry...

There’s nothing but comedies, and I’m tired of all these Black men in dresses. Every other movie has a Black man in a dress, from the Madea movies to Norbit to Big Momma. How come nobody’s protesting that? They call them family movies, and nobody’s telling the little kids that it’s kind of different for a man to wear a dress. I’m just saying that it comes to a point where, if that’s the only types of images they’re seeing, how is that informing upon Black men in America? It’s as if all we can do is make people laugh and play basketball.
