Tyler Perry has once again stirred up some controversy with Black women. In the Season 2 premiere of the Keep It Positive podcast, hosted by Tyler Perry's Sistas star, Crystal Renee Hayslett, Perry made a statement that has now gone viral. He spoke about Black women being the breadwinner in some instances and how they should be okay with a man making less.
"In our society right now, Black women are making a lot more money than Black men," Perry stated. "So if you can find love and that man works at whatever job and is a good man and is good to you...that's OK. That's not someone who's beneath you, that's someone who came to love you at your worth."
The clip sparked major debate amongst the sexes. While Hayslett was agreeing with her boss' sentiments, Perry also pointed out the fact that some people can't necessarily handle that narrative. He said, "That's so hard for people to take in because they need someone that makes 5x more than me. But when you talk about just someone that loves you and supports you...it's a beautiful thing."
The men argued that all Perry does is talk a good game and that women won't listen to what he's saying. But one woman, who happens to be a breadwinner, chimed in and said that she makes more than her husband and at the beginning it bothered him a lot, but she makes it her business to make sure he always knows he is still the head of their household and the father figure.
What do you think about this now viral topic? Do you agree with Perry's statement or do you think it's something that should be addressed differently? Do you think Black women should be okay with a man making less, or do you think Black men should be encouraged to do more? Let us know your thoughts.
