That never happens in the movie, alas, but the sight of Madea in a fake North Pole makes me want to share my own Christmas wish: Santa and shooting down the dreams of bratty kids. I’m glad I went to Sunday school.The trailers for “A Madea Christmas” promise the sight of the tough-talking, no-nonsense protagonist working as a shopping mall Mrs. Hallelujah! Let the Lord use ya! Okay, that’s the story of the baby Jesus. And that’s why they say he was born in a mangy. See God’ll send you a dog when you need it, even if you don’t…And as she set there, she had that baby. And as she set there, she went into laborer, and as she started laboring, a mangy dog walked up beside her. Even at Motel 6, they didn’t even leave the light on for her, and she was in the dark! There was Mary bout to have that baby, so she sat there at a bus stop, and lot of buses passed by, and none of them would stop and pick her up and take her to the holy city of Birmingham. Marriott shut the door! Hilton shut the door! They tried to get to the Ritz Carlton, but they said, ‘You don’t belong here.’ Everywhere they went they was put out. But they kept goin to all these hotels and wouldn’t none of them let them in. And the Bible says in second Deutironimo, when He came to the earth, He came through the virgin…and, and she was there and they was tryin to find somewhere to have the baby. And they didn’t know what to do, so he went on stage with her and they were expectin the holy chile. And she said, “Joe, I am nowest with a childest and his Holiest is come upon me and I’m goin to have a babyest. As Mary was on tour, she met this man name Joe…and he was in love with her. “Little baby Jesus was bornt to the Virgin Mary…J. I want to end this column with Madea’s version of the Christmas Story: You did too, and we need to be patient with that little girl and little boy who sometimes still stick their heads out from under the covers and say, “I’m still here and I’m still hurting.” I didn’t go through half of what Tyler Perry endured as a child, but I had my own battles. When I read that, I understood the little girl I had been and sometimes still am-I call her the little girl who will not be silenced. There wasn’t anybody there to protect him or make sure he was okay, but he made it through…I feel like he had to endure so much so that I could be here” (). I think it gets too hard.”įor me, one of the most important things Tyler Perry ever said was when he told Oprah Winfrey, “I think about the child I was, the tremendous debt I owe him now. “I don’t think dreams die,” he said, “I think people give up. Finally in March of 1998, when Tyler Perry was 27 years old, the play became a success. From 1992 until 1998, Perry staged his first play, “I know I’ve Been Changed,” once a year, and the play failed every time. Tyler Perry is one of those people who probably never should have made it to adulthood, but he did, and the same spirit that got him through all of those beatings also carried him through failure after failure. Don’t leave him with that crazy MF!” () and behold, Madea was born.įor those of you who aren’t familiar with Tyler Perry and his alter ego, Madea, treat yourself to one of the movies featuring her: “Diary of a Mad Black Woman” or “Madea’s Family Reunion” or “Madea’s Witness Protection” are just a few of my favorites. As she did, she turned to Tyler’s mom and said, “Wherever you go, you take this boy with you. Tyler’s uncle was on her heels and finally convinced his wife to put the gun down. She got her pistol, walked into the sleeping man’s house and put the gun right up against his temple. When his aunt saw what had been done to her young nephew, she never hesitated. Tyler’s skin had literally been ripped to pieces. After one extreme beating with an electrical cord, Tyler ran from his house and down the block to his aunt and uncle. His mother was present but she was too afraid to stand up for her son. When Tyler Perry was a child, he was routinely beaten by a father, who would then drop to his knees in prayer and crawl into bed to sleep.
