The actor known for his role as Madea says of his TLC show, 'That's totally reverse racism, because it was coming from African-American people.'
Tyler Perry responded to the critics of his new series "Too Close to Home". His project was usually dominated by black stars, but he took a different route with the TLC show. He told The Associated Press, "That's totally reverse racism, because it was coming from African-American people."
"I don't know if it was because they thought I should only be giving jobs to black people. Well, I think that's ridiculous. If you look at the hundreds of black people I've given jobs to and even the ones I've made millionaires, people of color, I just think it's unfair," he continued.
"I'm just finding out more as I travel the country and world, the more I meet people, we're all the same," he explained. "We all got the same dramas. So I'm not seeing color as much as I did anymore in the sense of our stories. Our stories are so similar."
