Maya Angelou Should Punch Tyler Perry In the Face...

So, I am reading through Maya Angelou's memoirs. I've read, in the past, All God's Children Got Traveling Shoes...but this time I thought I'd start from the beginning...cuz...I want to know why the caged bird sings...and Maya aka Marguerite Johnson....promsied to tell me all about it.

So I'm reading along...loving every word and turn of phrase...and I get this chapter in the book all about how Maya's scallywag father shows up to whisk her and her brother off to their Mama's house in St. Louis. The first thing I notice is that Maya says that her Father speaks all educated and northern and tosses random ers and ererers in his sentences...much like Madea' does when she is making fun of white folks...but I thought to myself...hold on...don't go and cry plagerism...sometimes things just hold true across time.

Man am I simple and trusting sometimes.

No sooner had I flipped the page but I come across the biggest heist ever...Maya and her brother Bailey meet their Mother...who Bailey refers to as Mother Dear...which over time becomes Ma Dear and finally...wait for it....M'Deah...OH YES! Tyler done straight up stole Maya Angelou's Mama's name and made a half a billion dollars off of it. Maya oughta punch him right in the face and then throw some hot grits on him.

Now I know why Maya was in Madea's Family Reunion. She started seeing his shows...realized he ripped her off...decided she was going to get her money out of his bank account or out of his ass...and Mr. Perry...to save face (and ass) went right on ahead, put her in his movie, and probably paid her at least $100,000,000 of that $500,000,000 he got. Cuz...he knew that if she sued....she was going to win and any time he even though the name M'Deah in the future it was going to cost him a fresh $100,000,000.

Hell...Maya was so tickled...she went right on ahead and wrote a new poem just for the movie. Sat up on that stool in the front of that wedding chapel...read it...and made the IRS real happy to collect her taxes last year.

I'm going to start reading through Alice Walker's memoirs...or maybe Zora Neal Hurston's...cuz she's real dead and didn't have any babies...at least I don't think so...see if Tyler had been smart...he would have stole some shit from somebody dead. It's harder for dead people to punch you in the face...they got to get themselves a voodooine to raise 'em up as zombies or hold on til judgement day...and by that time...you probably would have spent up all your money and died...so you probably won't mind gettin' punched in the face...can't hurt much...if you're alread dead!

TO BE HONEST I THINK THAT THIS IS THE STUPIDEST THING THAT I HAVE HEARD HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT HE STOLE SOMEONES NAME THATS THATS LIKE SAYING I STOLE MARIAN ANDERSON NAME OR MARIAN JONES NAME. EVERYBODY HAS A MADEA IN THEIR LIFE SO THAT MEANS THAT EVERYONE THAT IS CALLED MADEA SHOULD GO AFTER TYLER FOR USING THE NAME AND TELLING WHAT A MADEA'S JOB IS?

That is a bunch of nonsense. Long before the Madea characeter was created or Maya coined the phrase, mother-dear or madear was a term of endearment most blacks in the south called their mothers or mother figures !!!
