Thank you so much. As a dark skin black woman, I was very intimidated while in Hollywood and not only blew auditions but even when I did my best later here (yes it made me silence my talent) in the Southeast region, as a dark skinned woman, I'm expected to audition for "period pieces". My hope is to change the narrative, create jobs and stories for actors with darker skin
See, as we who watches these movies and artists are oblivious to what goes on in the industry we don’t see it. We see a good show or a funny show. Social media has opened up a whole new world that we aren’t knowledgeable about. Nothing is how it seems.
It's all hidden messages and symbols in everything we watch but when those who are in the know try to tell us the truth we quickly dismiss them saying they crazy, wrong, jealous, bitter etc. They all try to inform us and warn us but we shoot the messenger and just ignore everything until it's too late.
I don't like How most Tyler perry Movies about black women being abused on drugs graped everything that down grade black women. That's my problem with Tyler Perry. Not really enough of black women success it's always Negative.
T.P. has deep issues and maybe even hatred toward black women. He said he based his material on the people in his family he saw growing up remember he was also abused. So his accounts of black people and interpersonal relationships is severely negative. He needs to start showing the actual truth and real life experiences of black women and their successes not their failures and their tragedies.
You right and they just was blacklisted and we didn't get to see them unless they was playing such disgusting characters. I mean it was ridiculous even in Mama Flores family. Blair Underwood even though his character wasn't a bad stain or anything on the black community, he was treated as such and jailed and beating and and he was shown to be. You know a horrible person in the light of even though he wasn't. He was an innocent man in the movie but still he was shown to be the bad and portrayed as the bad. When his brother Luke Fleming played by Mario Van Peebles. A lighter-skinned character was honored. He was in the service he came out. He came, became a lawyer. He worked at a firm. He had this. He had that man. Isn't that something? That's crazy?
@@rodb66 we got to racist in the comments anytime they try to speak up against every time we say something they want to try to speak up against it. You know you dealing with a racist. You see his comment down there
I'LL NEVER FORGET READING IN A JET MAGAZINE WHEN GEOFFREY CAMBRIDGE WHO STARRED IN WATERMELON MAN, A BLACK DIRECTOR TOLD HIM HE WAS TOO DARK AND NOT HANDSOME ENOUGH TO MAKE IT IN HOLLY-WEIRD! WISH I KNEW WHO HE WAS....
I think you mean Godfrey Cambridge. Cambridge starred in 'Cotton Comes to Harlem' and Come Back Charleston Blue'. He was pretty popular actor and comedian Back in the 70s.
A lot of celebrities & fans know that Tyler Perry, along with Oprah Winfrey, are one of the two most riches, evil people & regardless whomever they happened to hurt or destroyed in the Hollywood industry! Also, an old saying "What Goes Around Comes Around". They'll get their's someday! 😠😤😡
So true! These two carry so much negativity, and it's unfortunate that some people can't see it. Their actions don't contribute to positive change or growth within our community.
Valuable information and video. Thank you. Keep them coming. I love Bill Dukes documentary on dark skinned black women. My favorite Bill Duke movie is American Gigolo.
Y’all turned on Bill Cosby and believed the enemies lies. However not too many blacks or enough are saying shit about rappers and how they enforce negative stereotypes about black peoples
I think many people suffer rejections, but none like ours... no matter what field we are in, from early we😢 build a way of coping with the broken world of people we live amongst. I know we are not perfect but we are quietly living unbeknowing to the world a unhealthy, unspoken coping mechanism within. We love to laugh but i feel Tyler mad🎉e it big through us melaninated people that got him rich & wealthy, its time he did more to uplift our race in a positive light, by trying to erase colorism within our community and the to others. No wonder so many melaninated people are desperate for acceptance by changing their shade, marrying out etc.
Bill Duke is one of my favorites!! Yup. Take it from Duke a G' in the industry! And, I NEVER liked Tyler Perry's work. In fact, I HATTED his productions! I don't think he was proud of his image, either?!
Yep. I respect SpiKe Lee but he’s begging to be accepted, while Tyler built his own film studio and named a lot after Spike Lee. Tyler is worthy of criticism but I respect that he owns his own studio
I do not respect the beat up, angry, cheated on, used, etc black woman persistent themes & now (thank you) for pointing out the colorism. When I did watch his early movies/plays, I did not notice this "duh" it hould have been obvious to me. Let's love each other in all our shades and leverage our viewership to demand more positive images and role models. The world is watching not only for how we are treated but how we treat each other.
I have had the honor of having Bill Duke direct me in several TV shows in years past, and I have never met a nicer, kinder, and more classy gentleman in my entire acting career. So it's no surprise to me that he should also be a valuable source of truth and knowledge in this often dicey business. P.S. If you're unfamiliar with Bill's acting, just catch him co-starring with Arnold Schwarzenegger in "Predator." He's unforgettable in every role he's in.
The field vs house s!@^* is such a crazy idea..to believe that working for free in a hot @$$ house with no air conditioning and being you- know-what by the master of the house and bearing his children and being beat by his wife is a privilege...is a crazy concept...nobody had it easy...it was s!@^ery...😢...nobody was safe
I am not a big fan of Tyler Perry. To me his work is all the same and all of his workis either predictive, no depth , or overly bufoonish. Saying what I said I can not deny the jobs and exposure he has given black people.
Its no different than the music industry. We can never and should never expect our oppressors to paint a positive narrative for us in their film companies or on their record labels. Thats totally up to us honestly. More black entertainers should stick to being independent and work only with people who want to support our vision. So many of us get compromised when money is involved and thats the biggest issue.
My heart goes out to Mr. Duke and whatever he has gone through but in my opinion the industry is the same as corporate America in one main way and that is the same as the industry is that as long as you laugh, act like you're not that intelligent, play the same games that they want you to play then the Europeans will promote you. But if you are articulate, if you carry yourself with integrity and somebody with some good sense they Don't want to promote you no matter how hard you work. In the industry that they are in in the entertainment if they don't get treated right then why don't they just leave that industry and find another job or become an entrepreneur. If that industry don't give you the chance that you know you deserve and treat you right why do they stay all of these years? I've never understood that.
I don’t understand how our people know the history and for victim to it. I’m so glad people are getting their careers themselves without doing all this nastiness.
I am not a Tyler Perry fan by NO means, not only are All of his Comedic films, T.V. shows repetitive of each other they're simply just poorly written, the Actors deserve better roles, which are difficult to come by for African American actors, 😮 that explains why so many of them will TAKE any ROLE offered to them, at the present, Tyler Perry appears to be their ONLY means of some kind of WORK, MONEY a possible better lifestyle -- the usual materialistic things, Fancy houses, cars, clothes ETC. hopefully some of these Tyler Perry actors will INVEST whatever MONEY they earn very WISELY for their FUTURE!!!
I love Tyler Perry - I have to say some of Tyler's depictions of the Black Family so brilliantly reflective in my family, no lie - It's old school but true. Just because blacks have become more progressive in so many ways does not mean that I can't look back and remember big mama, or Uncle Joe. Ok
Spielberg had ET whereas there wasn't a person of ethnic for coming in his films and no comment.. Blacks or these social aware people's have to drag the man who had a far fetched dream into reality. Shame to all who darr knock achievements of our ancestors
Tyler Perry and other people who do the stuff he does make it hard for me to be light-skinned because I am judged on my light skin color that I have on me but I do not disrespect anybody who is darker than me matter of fact I think they are so beautiful. I told somebody if I was black as a African in Sahara son I would be just as jaded as ever so God knew to make me light skinny because he knew that I would look at darkness as beauty.
I would like to ask a question how come y'all going after Young Miami like y'all do Keven Hart and Tracy Morgan how y'all are not going at her like y'all do them
I don't get what ppl have against Oprah and Tyler Perry they have worked had and have not done foul things I like a lot of the other celebrity pioneers. They just living they life working. Ppl think cause they rich they supposed to help they ppl when it's ppl that is middle class or living check to check but have more then a homeless man and will see them and won't even give them a dollar and feel they have the same opportunities in the same 24hrs in a day that we have. So if you think like that in your position of where you are in life how you think a millionair and billionaire think especially if they have more to maintain then us.
Bill Duke is a great actor and a man of truth and honor !!! I really admire this man.
You're not the only one!
Bring out OLD Painless😅😅😅
Facts!!!! I’ve got Mad respect for this man! Younger generation… please look at his older movies. Great actor and a real human being!
Watched predator the other night ❤

Wish I had acting talent, but God gave me a voice instead. But with all this mess going on, I'll stay my dark skinned behind in the house of the Lord.
@@deepdarkcocoa7956 The safest place anywhere! 🙏🏽🙏🏽✨ I'm right there with you. 3 months later and I'm rethinking everything!
I loved Tyler Perry movies, etc., but will no longer watch his stuff. He and Oprah are shameful!
Indeed
Tyler Perry is going down with his butt buddy, Ditzy.
Duke is right on the spot! with Perry's assessment!
"if YOU'LL NOT WEARING A DRESS 👗👗 going in to T.P.'S STUDIO... YOU'LL DEFINITELY WILL BE WEARING ONE" COMING OUT "!! 🫂🫂😫😳😳😫

It is like he is selling the opposite of what he saw growing up because that sells fast easily!!

So his accounts of black people and interpersonal relationships is severely negative. He needs to start showing the actual truth and real life experiences of black women and their successes not their failures and their tragedies.
Shemar Moore, Boris Kodjo and Rick Fox were romantic heros in TP movies but Steve Harris, Blair Underwood and other dark skinned men were bad guys.
You right and they just was blacklisted and we didn't get to see them unless they was playing such disgusting characters. I mean it was ridiculous even in Mama Flores family.

Bill Duke is a stand up brother

I doubt Pac would have been in Tyler Perry films

Maybe. So many du not.

Bill Duke is very open about this difficult topic.
Valuable information and video. Thank you. Keep them coming.
I love Bill Dukes documentary on dark skinned black women.
My favorite Bill Duke movie is American Gigolo.
Always been an excellent actor 👏 ❤
Thanks for mentioning the name of the movie. I have admired Mr.Bill Dukes since the 1970s era.
Tyler perry's films men are always abusive or gay nothing else.
Mr.Duke is sooooo underrated I have always ❤d him 🎉🎉
Y’all turned on Bill Cosby and believed the enemies lies. However not too many blacks or enough are saying shit about rappers and how they enforce negative stereotypes about black peoples

,"You know you don f**ked up right"..🤔🤔
I've been noticed this about Tyler and everything else I watch on tv!!!! Start paying attention, you'll start to see behind the curtain😱👀
Good video. Yet Spike Lee was at the opening of TP studios with one studio named after him. Hmmmm
Yep. I respect SpiKe Lee but he’s begging to be accepted, while Tyler built his own film studio and named a lot after Spike Lee. Tyler is worthy of criticism but I respect that he owns his own studio

Me either, my sister. How do you mix cross dressing and church, and people think that's alright to do. It ain't funny people 😢 sad .
MOST people don't think 💭🤔 about the business 😔 part it's MORE THAN talent Even if one is gifted and talented 💞
I have had the honor of having Bill Duke direct me in several TV shows in years past, and I have never met a nicer, kinder, and more classy gentleman in my entire acting career. So it's no surprise to me that he should also be a valuable source of truth and knowledge in this often dicey business.

But at what cost what cost??
Misleading title! Bill Duke didn’t expose ANYTHING about Tyler!
Clickbait is the new marketing. Content creators no longer care about integrity. Just subscribers and views. Sad because this is a good video.
"You know you done f'd up, right?"
Menace to Society!!!
He played his part in Black Lightening!!!
Thanks for. Information

Bill Duke is a real one !
He reminds me of my uncle, jazz musician, Yusef Lateef !
He got his inspiration from Diddy.
What the heck this has to do with Tyler Perry??? I don't want to hear about Duke.
Bill Duke is a legend ❤
one that paved the way for alot of black actors today ❤
My heart goes out to Mr. Duke and whatever he has gone through but in my opinion the industry is the same as corporate America in one main way and that is the same as the industry is that as long as you laugh, act like you're not that intelligent, play the same games that they want you to play then the Europeans will promote you.

We are not so-called African Americans. Stop saying this nonsense please.
The title is misleading and bullshyt. Bill Duke said nothing about Tyler Perry
I don't see Tupac doing that.
I feel like that's where a lot of that 🍷🍻 drinking comes from the disappointment 😞😥😢
It's like the Tutsis and the Hutus in Rwanda.
Bill Duke is a brainiac strictly brilliant.
Who speaks the truth, He's a king just like myself.
Why! I never hear! About my people life before slavery!
And why are we still having so much needing to be accepted by a different academy awards who don't honor us so why should we honor them
Bill Duke knows to knows

Absolutely phenomenal actor...simply phenomenal ❤
Great video
If I could dress up in a dress and sell my soul and make million of doll, Hollywood don't have enough money!!!

And thought he was going to be taken seriously in an action film. 🤣😆
Bill Duke looks like gene Simmons in blackface.
I Loved Him In CarWash Especially The Richard Pryor Scene.
Who writes this? They have perfected the art of exposing Hollywood evil ❤❤❤
"BILL DUKE"...1 0F THE 0.G'Z'..N0THING RE$PECT'...💯✌️
I never see anything in this man do for his community
Bill Duke is more than just a pretty face.
Street theater for black children
Love Bill Duke! Great actor, miss him.
IT should BE no preference between colors ❤️ only who' FIT PARTS 〽️ BETTER 🤯 long Way to GO still 😢

And you're acting like your auntie? Where is your wife and kids
Both are going to pay for their evil
Tyler Perry has sold his soul. His movies are now rachet b movies. Sad really

Buffoonary, cunnary ? Sells and we eat it up.
Crabs in a bucket
Stay away from that industry.
This was stupid
Nobody thought they could do it better than RuPaul and then he comes Tyler Perry that's why he got everything the world is a big gay agenda
Well he is only using the truth to tell a story.
That man look like he in his last hours
I'm not going to lie he got a big head
Yeah even native Americans 😢
I thought he was gonna drop some real knowledge by saying this ninja did this. The satanic industry does that and name names and instances.
