Following a dream

I'm very glad that Tyler Perry followed his dream and became successful. African-Americans understand the reality and humor

that Tyler Perry puts into his film. As an African-American, I

know that we can be dramatic with our expressions of life because our life has been dramatic ever since the force of slavery. African-Americans have their own way of looking at life, reality and humor. I'm also glad that Tyler Perry wasn't a statistic and decided to do something good with his life. A lot of African-American men are still very angry because of continued mistreatment in America. I hope that Tyler Perry continues with success in life.
