Tyler Perry's House of Stereotypes

There is only one show on T.V that i can not stand and it offends me to even watch and that's Tyler Perry's House of Pain. That show sets black people back 50 years and even further back to the Amos and Andy days of coonery. Still to this day Caucasian people get there glimpse into the black community and ideas by watching shows that are geared towards us. And by showing them this depiction of how the "black family" supposedly acts it only further encourages stereotypes. Some people try and say that because it has some religious undertones that its such a great show, but i call a spade a spade it just is what it is.
