Tyler Perry Responds to Spike Lee on ‘60 Minutes’

I am, without a doubt, a huge fan of CBS’ 60 Minutes. Week in and week out, the reporters and producers of the show open my mind to new thoughts, ideas and stories that I may never have considered or previously been interested in.

This past Sunday, 60 Minutes profiled Tyler Perry, an Atlanta media mogul who making a name for himself, by bucking the trend.

Ironically, his success has upset much of the Hollywood establishment, and Perry has drawn a lot of criticism, especially when it comes to race.

In his closing moments of his profile on 60 Minutes, Perry responded to those criticisms, especially those from Spike Lee, in this thought provoking commentary.

    Only thing about that clip/conversation with Perry on that topic was that it was ludicrously way too short! I could listen to him talk on that matter for hours. Will now have to troll around looking for more interviews w/Perry on just that thing. UNLESS you have a link(s) to any more. Hint hint!

    Unfortunately, I don’t have anymore links. I just happened to catch this interview on 60 Minutes.

    By the way, the above posted clip was actually from the END of the package, and one of the last topics discussed.
