Ah, I see - and again, it's not a specifically-"Tyler Perry" thing, directors and even producers are often attached to their projects specifically (DrPhil's James Cameron example earlier is a particularly illustrative one, because James Cameron sucks, yet gets full billboard space), but something that you notice after time.

I appreciate the insight.

He doesn't become "unBlack" by virtue of stepping into "the mainstream." He still includes more AA leads than most other directors/producers, but there should be no obligation for him to ALWAYS do AA movies.

Hell, Spike Lee did Inside Man, and had every right to do so. Same should hold true for TP.
