The Tyler Perry Effect
by Doc Logan
We’ve heard a lot lately about the so-called “Bradley Effect”, which asserts that white voters will lie to pollsters about voting for a non-white candidate, and then in the privacy of the voting booth let their racist demons out. A friend says I should subtract five points from Obama’s poll numbers to get the real story.
There’s something else at work, and I’ll call it the “Tyler Perry effect”.
When Tyler Perry’s “Diary of a Mad Black Woman” opened in theaters, box office analysts, theater owners, and film critics were shocked that it became the number one film in the U.S.A., and by a very wide margin. They didn’t account for black filmgoers showing up in such a big way.
America is a nation still very much affected by racism, and to too many of us black people are invisible.
Election day, I predict they’ll be seen.
