: We here at MediaTakeOut.com have had it UP TO HERE with the director Lee Daniels. First, dude makes that Monster's Ball movie, which had the skinny dude treating Halle Berry like she was a $2 whore.

Then he made that Precious movie, which portrayed every Black person as a welfare recipient/abuser.

Now this idiot is doing a film about Martin Luther King. And in it, he's going to focus on UNPROVEN and VERY RECKLESS allegations about Martin being with prostitutes. And even if they were true, why make a movie about THAT PART of Dr King's life??????

Obviously this dude is a very troubled man, who appears to be trying his best to smear the reputation of one of the most BELOVED African Americans in history. We were upset with dude when he made Monster's Ball, we were disgusted with him when he made Precious - now we are just ANGRY with dude.

If ANYONE has any information about Lee Daniels that we can use in an UPCOMING article on him, please send it to us at tips@mediatakeout.com. That dude feels comfortable SCANDALIZING the good name of Dr. Martin Luther King, we'll just have to RETURN THE FAVOR.

He'd better not dare to disgrace Dr. King's name or legacy. I totally am disgusted with his movie Precious anyway. Terrible dipiction of black families.........

@tiplite2004: LOL.



SIP601

do that and it's on now!!!


DonSimmons

This is why your site is considered a joke mediatakeout. Looking for people to come up with some lies to try and unfairly smear this man??? Yeah, stay classy MTO lol.

What has the man done that isn't truthful? For all his greatness, MLK DID commit adultery and was involved with shady women and if you knew his FULL history and not just the nice parts you would know that. Precious reflects the struggles that children in our community DO go through (while silly n*ggas like you all sit and act like its something that "just white folks do").


DonSimmons

Not every depiction of Black folks is going to be the Cosby show. We have our light parts and our dark parts like everyone else. Instead of hating on the man, why not talk about the issues he brings up in a productive way?


xlarge

Tell the truth and make the devil shame. People only look at the good that MLK did and feel that anything outside of that is a disgrace to his name. The man was a *** and he had outside marital relationships...WITH WHITE WOMEN!! Do your research.


904Diva

Crabs in a barrel!! Let me guess, he's married to a white woman!

HatshepsutReigns

TRUE STORY and Donsimmons is right...THIS is why mediatakeout is viewed as an entertainment baffoon for coons site because they don't research anything before adding their ignorant opinions as captions. What the man is about to write is the TRUTH and you would know that if you read up on King and not just what you were taught in grammar school. F**kin idiots!



ebonieladi

I'll believe it when I hear it from a more reputable source than MTO. I will not smear this brilliant director until I have better proof. You may not have liked Halle's role in Monster's Ball but it was well done as was Precious. He also did the Woodsman with Kevin Bacon and Mos Def and Shadowboxer with Cuba Gooding Jr, Helen Mirren Mo'Nique and Macy Gray. All good movies. It seems like the one acting like crabs in a barrel is MTO.


lottahead21

Sorry MTO it was true. The FBI had the proof & wanted to use it against him. He was a man so...noone is perfect & I'm still celebrating his legacy today


DonSimmons

Mediatakeout has some *** nerve. They are the first to praise and lift up some of these rappers who portray the black community in the worst light and say the worst things about black women, and then turn around and want to get self-righteous with Lee Daniels. GET THE FCUK OUTTA HERE! lmao! I guess if you're a coon with a grill in your mouth or a do-rag and fitted cap on saying rhymes then it's okay, right mediatakeout?

Missmedia81

Typical Black Hollywood majority cant even make a decent fiction movie.... They are so sold out they dont care about smearing a respectable black mans legacy when most young people dont even know who Martin Luther King is. If its not disrespecting a black woman and showing them in a horrible light and giving them the whackest stereotypical roles possible what Does Black Hollywood really do anyway? Take the cutest women call them hoes and put on non blacks. Black Hollywood cant come correct unless they are being blowhards for white people and acting.


faundyb

I DID NOT KNOW LEE DANIELS WAS BLACK WTF?!!!! WHY IS HE MAKING MOVIES LIKE THIS WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG W THIS UNCLE TOM *** ALL HE WANTS IS MONEY AND HE WILL BURN IN HELL NEXT TO ALL THE *** HE HAS BEEN SUCKING. PRECIOUS WAS NOT PRECIOUS IT WAS A DISGRACE HE PICKED THE UGLIEST BLACKS IN THE WORLD AND BROUGHT OUT EXTRA *** *** THAT IM GLAD I DID NOT PAY TO SEE IN A THEATER. NOW HE WANTS TO SAY DR MARTIN LUTHER KING SLEPT W PROSTITUTES THIS [EXPLETIVE] LOVER IS AS BAD AS ANY AGENCY THAT SET DR KING UP AND WHOMEVER ELSE WAS INVOLVED! THANKS MTO I WILL NOT SUPPORT ANY OF HIS MOVIES


bezsenny

.

True or not, why bring it up?? Don't his good works outweigh his indiscretions? NOBODY is perfect; We have ALL done wrong.

Honestly, I don't care if he was with prostitutes. It's better than him having a couple of whole other families on the side, that he was putting time, effort, money & emotions into aside from his relationship with his wife.

BOYCOTT!!!!!!! Never saw Precious and glad I never did. Monster *** was a waste of my life. I still want my 2hrs back!!!!!!!

TJeanie

People do not know how to respect the dead, smh. After all he's done people are going to focus on prostitutes???

I swear black people are the greatest contributors to their own demise...


angelaheiressnyc

1st of all,m.t.o please stfu! this is what ya'll do best! So Lee & you Fred compliment each other if anything ..2)Even though I wasn't too fond of watching "Precious" @ first,I must admit that it was blown away..it was very well scripted,the actors did the *** thing..very touching so I have nothing bad to say about that movie. 3)We'll just have to wait & see about this future project before jumping into any conclusions,too soon as if now. 4) & yes,"Monster's Ball" was appalling!

I don't get why You hating on the dude. You act like he made up a total lie with precious. That movie is truly someones life. and if you where in Harlem ..f**k even in the lower east side back in the 70's 80's there were families just like that movie!

yankees2009

Duh.. Dude is a big .siss.y... End of story. His father used to beat him and make him wear high heel shoes for being a sissy. Now he hates his own race like most sis.sies do...Like most si.ssies he hates anything thats is pro black and pro family and he,, like most si.ssies, will do everything to make black people look bad and dysfunctional. Why do you think Oprah and Tyler picked him for Precious? They are siss.ies too. Stedman is a si.ssy...*** is a si.ssy...They're all a bunch of si.ssies and they hate black people and they have a convenant with the devil.


yankees2009

Fred is a si.ssy too.



HotLatte

I rides with MTO today, because they are absolutely right. We have a Black President people! It's time to *** the spotlight from showing the ONE SIDED VIEW OF Black folks as degenerate, welfare recipients and show the millions of Black Americans who are educated and seeking their share of the American dream. It's a new day, let's keep it moving forward NOT BACK.


KingRamses2U

Back off, MTO...it has long been known that MLK was a philanderer and was getting out on Coretta for many, many years. Even Coretta knew but chose to turn a blind eye....Daniels (*** or not) is just bringing this fact to life and as such cannot be discredited for doing so because it actually true.

Yes, perhaps he could have chosen to make a film on another positive, uplifting aspect of the man's life, but those stories are legendary and have already been told......


kimpeach

I am sorry that Lee Daniels is making a film about this, but everyone who has researched this issue knows its true. MLK was also a BIG white woman lover and even boasted about it privately. Despite all that, this movie will NEVER take away from his greatness. I still admire and thank him for he did for the human race.


yankees2009

You cant become big in Hollywood as an actor without being a si.ssy. If you see one of these rappers start to get movie roles in a lot of movies all of the sudden with no talent (Queen Latifa, LL Cool J, Busta Rhymes, Andre 3000,Common Sense, Will Smith,Eve,Trina, etc) you better know they are engaging in si.ssy activity with the producers and the decision makers and those sis.sy orgies and *** ritual parties.. They *** Will Smith in the ***, same with Andre, same with Busta and Eve and Latifa were already dykes. Thats the price 95% of black successful blackk actors have to pay.


angelaheiressnyc

However I will add that the few black directors out there today besides Lee,should really start making movies featuring black ppl in a more positive,uplifting roles...Tyler Perry does his thing,don't get me wrong,however he tends to type-cast & stereotype...Where's John Singleton? Is Spike Lee planning on dropping a project anytime soon? I really loved & appreciate his versatility


Atlgagul

(idk) 5928Might NOT be a gud move!


proacting75

1) I'm surprised that so many people feels that Lee Daniels made these movies out of hatred towards Black people. I guess I was off the mark because I only saw portrayals of how resilient we are against all odds.

2). IF this is true about the MLK movie, then I would rather wait for the movie to be made to see how the story's told. You know that if it casts an inaccurate and damaging light on Rev. Dr. King, a host of people...INCLUDING Oprah...will *** it down before it sees the light of day; and I. Just don't think he's stupid enough to burn those bridges.


TheBrokenSilence

MTO *** the hizell up! It is well known and proven! The feds was tapping his phones and we heard it from his own mouth! What does him banging skanks take away from the good things he did for blacks? Mto is so stupid! Precious had black characters who were portrayed in a positive light! Dumbasses can't even comprehend a simple movie such as Precious! F*ck u morons *** me off!


yankees2009

John Singleton and Spike Lee dont have any power in Hollywood. The power to finance and give a film the greenn light os the real power.

These guys dont make policy in Hollywood. The Jews own Hollywood. I know for a fact that if it were up to these guys they would be making pro-black movies but those movies would not be "green-lighted. The first question they ask is "why isnt there any white heroes"?..If the story is about Rosewood or Apartheid in South Africa, the story has to have at least one white hero.(even if it doesnt make any *** sense).. So we need our own Hollywood, based in Afric


faundyb

@YANKEES2009 I HAVE TAKEN JOY IN READING WHAT YOU WROTE AND I AGREE WITH YOU 100% THE THING THAT I FIND SO WEIRD IS HOW MANY PPL DO NOT BELIEVE THIS IS TRUE THEY ARE SO IGNORANT IT IS SOOOOO TRUE AND HELL YOU CAN TELL ANYWAY. IT IS SAD TO SEE WHAT PPL WILL DO FOR THE GREEN DOLLAR AND THEN BE ON BET HOOPING AND HOLLERING ACTING LIKE THEY LOVE THE LORD PHONY BOLOGNA! WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN THE DOLLAR COLLAPSES AND WE SPEND AMERO? I BET HALF MTO READERS DO NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT AN AMERO IS BUT THEY WILL KNOW WHEN IT REPLACES THE DOLLAR LMFAO!!

HE FEELS LIKE HE CAN DO DAT SINCE HE GOT OPRAHS ENDORSEMENT ON HIS LAST MOVIE. BUT OPRAH AINT GOT NO CRED WITH D YOUNGER GENERATION B/C SHES A HYPOCRITE JUS LIKE HIS AZZ.

NUH UHHHH THIS DUDE NEEDS TO STAY IN HIS LANE!

FEELIN HIMSELF WAY TOO MUCH IN HOLLYWEIRD


yankees2009

Tyler Perry is the biggest coon in Hollywood. If you doubt that Amos and Andy has not been ressurected then turn on and watch "Meet the Browns".

That show is made for white people to feel comfortable knowing that black people are buffoons and coons..Tyler Perry is a si.ssy and he's paid to run a Minstrel Show and *** him and Oprah too.


angelaheiressnyc

@yankees2009: thanks for the response & I hear you..it's a shame isn't it? Because those are 2 of my favorite black directors who deserve as much props possible but like you stated,they have no power unless they submit to whatever those Jews say..smh


good_downsouth

Yeah, I thought he was a bit odd as well. Lmao @ Fred & Them trying to get some dirt! I did hear him say that " Precious" was inspired by his former " light skinned neighbor who was ran buttnaked to his house because her mother had beaten ger severely" and the little girl told him that her mother was gonna kill her! He also said that before meeting Gabbe that he felt women who looked like her were lazy and something else. I'll look for the article later!



bezsenny

@ ladybug4, you are a hypocrite as well.

You made a statement saying that you felt a black man was getting put 'back in his place' for thinking he was 'up there' with white people.

So please, STFU & GTFOH.

MTO, just stop. You all are being quite hypocritical and selective. Lee is not the 1st, and will not be the last director push the envelope. And besides, if you want to go after him for his "negative" portrayals, go after rappers too! Don't you realize that how you think of his films is simply YOUR opinion? For goodness sake leave it at that. Stop trying to go over board to smear this guy, but then again that's what yall do to A LOT of ppl. Question? Didn't think so.


PrettiestMamiiAlive

he's into directing movies that have a disturbing storyline?


Cockmonster

I guess that's the pot callin the kettle black.


DaRudeCommunicator

Monster's *** sucked, Precious sucked. Let him make a third flop and hopefully that will be strike three.

But you've gotta understand, his movies appeal to the insecure because it always portrays the black woman as fragile, insecure and weak and black males in negative light. That's a sure way to get the sales up. Why do you think that hypocritical *** *** Oprah supported Precious? She just wanted another 'purple' part 2.


proacting75

I wish I would've done the research that MTO obviously didn't do before my 1st post. I just found an article published yesterday where Lee was interviewed as saying that he is focusing on the movement, not the extramarital activities. Can ya'll Lee Daniels haters CTFD now?

nessakaye

Well, but here's the thing, Precious was a very REAL movie dealing with REAL issues and REAL situations. So I'm glad he directed that movie and that My future husband and Oprah backed it. It was a movie that Hollywood wouldn't dare to touch...any ways. Monsters ball. I haven't seen that movie so I can't speak on that but like didn't Halle win an Oscar for that???

As for this Martin Luther King Jr b.s. wtf? He *** even touch that. Martin Luther was history So no, Some things are off limits! This is defintely one of them. I'm with MTO on this one lmao.

chopsuey

You can read this in Ralph Abenathy 's book Martins close friend who was fed up with Martin and cheating on Correta . Martin was a rebel for his people he also was a roaming man who cheated on his wife. Loved Martin still do marched with him but it is what it is


yankees2009

Whats wrong with MLK liking ***? It doesnt diminish what he did.

Some of the greatest US President were pedophiles and ***, but do you think Hollywood would allow a movie about George Bush Sr. relationships with young black boys?

Hell no, they wouldnt allow it and they would say that it was not relevant to his great leadership during the war with the Arabs.


yankees2009

Hitler had a gastrointestinal problem, but do you think the Germans would allow a movie made with Hitler spending 75% of the movie *** and *** on the toilet?

It would be true, so why not make a movie about Hitlers greatest ***.


bourgie_girl

he's telling the truth. MLK did have a weakness for women and cheated on his wife routinely, especially with white women. that doesn't take away from his incredible legacy though...it proves he's a human being liek all of us are.


lottahead21

The NYDaily news has the real story & Daniels said if he directs the MLK biopic it wouldn't include those scenes.


A_sez

A_sez been tryin to tell you Lee Daniels is a charlatan. He is playin the game. He is a *** (not that that has anything to do with it, I'm just painting the picture), admits to surrounding himself and his adopted kids with Jews in Upper west side of NY, says his kids have read more about Anne Frank than Roots....he admits all this proudly in interviews..


lottahead21

Fred=Fail 4 this. U intentionally did this on MLK day to get more hits. U r a pathetic accuse 4 a man.


A_sez

‘Precious’ is so not Obama,” Daniels said. “ ‘Precious’ is so not P.C. What I learned from doing the film is that even though I am black, I’m prejudiced. I’m prejudiced against people who are darker than me. When I was young, I went to a church where the lighter-skinned you were, the closer you sat to the altar. Anybody that’s heavy like Precious — I thought they were dirty and not very smart. Making this movie changed my heart. I’ll never look at a fat girl walking down the street the same way again.” .... notice he says he 'is' not 'was' prejudiced against DS blacks. I'm over Lee Daniels.


sexxyblack09

Kills me how mto loves us to induldge in their messiness.


A_sez

Its not about denying MLKs philandering ways, but WHY is the movie necessary, ESPECIALLY from a man that seems to build his career off negative images of black people. And for someone who said there were positive characters in Precious. Yeah and they were all LS. The character Ms. Rain was described as a brown skin woman with locs...um Paula Patton. He had an opportunity to have ONE POSITVE BROWN SKIN CHARACTER AND HE CHOSE NOT TO..... HE IS PREJUDICED AND HAS ADMITTED IT....


ShortiiLaFlirt

Yeaaa Itz *** ^^ Wat He Duin To Martin'z Rep Dude Aint Got No Rite To Do Dat Especially If It Aint Even Proven Tru....BUUUUUUUUTTTT!!!!! I Dont Want Yall Even Tryna Talk Bout Yall Was Mad Wen He Made Precious Cuz Az I Clearly Remember Yall Was Raving Bout How Good Precious Was An All Diz Now Yu Tryna Be Mad At Wat It Portrays??? Git Ya *** Correct MTO!!!



A_sez

NEXT He'll make a movie about Malcolm X being a bisexual prostitute. Which has been written and might be true, but why tarnish the image of our role models?? I know some of you that agree with these portrayals are also the same ones that come on here callin black people coons, ***!ggers, monkeys and think that Pat Robertson was right,...so I may as well be talking to the wall next to me.


Dollarbill26

MTO get your facts str8 he said he was gonna leave that part out

I'm rollin w you texangirl. Thank you for keeping it perspective. Kudos.

yankees2009 is right about everything, and most of u ppl must had forgot if it wasn't for MLK u would be in mississippi hangin from a tree, ungrateful ***.

PROVE...OH I GET IT DISCREDIT HIS CHARACTER...BOY I TELL YAH BLK FOLKS ARE OUR OWN WORST ENEMIES...


A_sez

everybody should see the movie dumb and dumber..


proacting75

@jamtv ...and unfortunately they're doing a great job.


newsland

i wonder if mto was this mad when they seen malcom x? because even spike lee had made some crazy movies that black people look like fools before. MLK was human just like the rest of us and i think lee daniels will make it a real film that will make you cringe and take a true look at yourself. plus if all you can think about is the negative parts from precious and monsters ball then you didnt get those films at all. and before you attck the man's career you should watch the woodsman another movie that he was involved in.


newsland

if daniels makes a real movie about MLK and not a movie MLK and prostitutes then you all will be complaining about nothing.


BigNat137

monster ball was actually a good movie. if the people on your staff actually watched the movie instead of one scence you would have known that.


dollish

mto yall are slow. How yall gonna blame precious on him it was based on a book that he didnt write(and i bet yall saw it lmao) and the mlk story may be true. YES he was a great man but he was still human and had his faults just like everybody else in the world.

Dont wanna hear it? Then dont talk about it *** e more and dont watch the movie if it comes out. Simple as that


NIAB510

DUDE'S LIL *** ASS AINT COOL 4 THAT...SO WHAT MLK DID MORE FOR ALL P[PL THAN LEE DANIELS LIL PRECIOUS MOVIES...SO WHO CARES WHAT HE SAYS..NO ONE IS PERFECT HE PROABLY DID CHEAT BUT OH WELL ....HAPPY B-DAY MLK!!

MTO u guys r kiding me right. Yo on the real U guys make a fool out of black people very day all day on this ere site. Most of ur stories are at best unfounded rumours,u take a picture of celebrities and add ur own twisted explanation of what u think is going on. Most times u r incorect. So please do get all scantimonious and talk *** about Lee Daniels discrediting black folks. U r making a living doing the same. Nonsense

So many good points on this pretentious *** and MTO foul azzes. @DonSimmons and A_sez, valid points either way @***-and-chocolate - lol, knew he was *** but did not know the partner was white. The movie precious was not a bad movie. The welfare part was maybe hurful but back then it was an open-ended welfare program with a cyclic of generation after generation of potentially productive people taking advantage. Today, with the reforms in place,the dependency has lowered.

Dude is sooo wrong


4sutter

It's important that every part of MLK is put into the movie. The "good" and the "bad". Because of the extraordinary things he has done for this country, he has been turned into a symbol. He represents things that we as men feel are beyond us: Jesus-like sacrifice and dedication to basic human rights and goodness. But he was a man. And like every other man he had strengths and weaknesses, fears and temptations. It's easy for the average man to look at MLK and say, "I can't make change like that, I can't do that". But he was a man and all men can make a difference, despite their faults. All men can do good. And the movie can symbolize that.

@@@ DonSimmons YOU STATED:

This is why your site is considered a joke mediatakeout. Looking for people to come up with some lies to try and unfairly smear this man??? Yeah, stay classy MTO lol.

What has the man done that isn't truthful? For all his greatness, MLK DID commit adultery and was involved with shady women and if you knew his FULL history and not just the nice parts you would know that. Precious reflects the struggles that children in our community DO go through (while silly n*ggas like you all sit and act like its something that "just white folks do"). --------------- Don Simmons -------------------------------------------------- Well said.....

M.L.*** was not a saint, no man or woman is.

Why are blacks always so afraid of the whole truth? It seems that blacks want to only know one side when it comes to their black heroes, the good side. This is so one dimensional and incomplete.

Why are so many blacks afraid to know the entirety of a man or woman.

Regardless of Martin Luther King's adulterous ways, and yes there is proof, it will not one bit diminish his achievements.

Black people are notorious for illustrating their black heroes as saints.

This I must say about white people, they are able to have heroes, and yet acknowledge that their heroes have flaws, something that blacks are unable to do.

If your hero can be destroyed by a few minor flaws, than his or her achievements were not very monumental to begin with.....Artofwar

When a good portion of your content is so degrading towards black culture in general.....Artofwar

Mto yall are a disgrace! It is so sad that the people on your staff is utterly ignorant. Yall dont care about your own race so why should u get mad @ this VERY TALENTED director 4 making good movies? Halle won an oscar 4 her part in the movie, rather u think she degraded herself or not she got paid 2 ACT because that is what she does! Precious was a GREAT MOVIE, alot of people REALLY NEEDED 2 SEE THAT! Not like this BS yall post. Where is the story of Mo'Nique winning a golden globe 4 her job well done? Oh i 4got yall are HATERS!

nubian24

Well, didn't see what was so amazing about "Monsters Ball" nor did I see what so spectacular about " Precious". Both films were very overrated in my opinion and the only person in precious who is worthy of mention with respects to performance was Monique and Mariah. Sorry but I was not blown away by the main actress or by this film as a whole. "The Color purple" was unforgettable. I forgot about this film very quickly . Even Avatar had more of a lasting impression on me than this film. That's kinda sad.


nubian24

And this story "precious" is just recycled story telling. A year from now another black director will make another black "tale of poverty and misfortune". This has been told so many times.


RoyalLineage

I didn't know he was behind Monster's Ball. I let my senior citizen father-in-law use that movie and he Never returned it. LMAO!


Daonlyblackman4u

I hope he don't make the movie then again it's true... Cointelpro has him recorded and the tapes won't come out till about another 50 years.. I joke and laugh about his comments about being with a white prostitute everyday! " I'm not going to be a NEGRO ***! JACK!" lmao


angelaheiressnyc

After winning accolades for keeping it gully on gritty films like Precious and Monster’s Ball, director Lee Daniels says Martin Luther King Jr.’s family shouldn’t fear his involvement in the new King biopic “Selma”. Apparently the family had some concerns about a certain draft of the script that contains a scene featuring King hooking up with a ***. Look under the hood for more.

For months now, King’s family has been nervous about “Selma.” Produced by Brad Pitt and “Slumdog Millionaire” Oscar-winner Christian Colson, the project’s script portrays King (r.) as the tireless martyr of America’s civil rights movement. But Paul Webb’s screenplay also shows him to be a flesh-and-blood man who had, as his colleague Ralph Abernathy wrote, a “weakness for women.”

In one scene, President Lyndon Johnson tells FBI director J. Edgar Hoover that he doesn’t know or care “whether [King] has a gargantuan appetite for p- or whether he just sometimes needs a woman’s touch when he’s away from home …”

In another scene at a Washington hotel, King meets a flirtatious woman who tells him, “You look like you need some tender loving care, honey.”

“You’re way out of my price bracket,” says King.

“I’ll donate part of my fee to the cause,” she says.

Soon thereafter, Hoover’s agents are seen recording King’s lovemaking with the woman, as well as their postcoital conversation. King’s wife, Coretta, receives a copy of the tape, with an anonymous blackmail letter.

The Nobel Prize winner actually received such a tape and letter. According to King biographer David Garrow, King explained his numerous extramarital affairs as “a form of anxiety reduction.” In 1968, according to historian Taylor Branch, he admitted to Coretta that he’d carried on a five-year romance with a married woman.

Still, King’s heirs are trying to keep his dalliances out of “Selma.” Last week, a rep for Martin Luther King 3rd told us, “Our attorneys are reviewing the script.”

But now, “Selma” director Lee Daniels tells us the Kings can relax. “The script they have is not my script,” says Daniels, whose last movie, “Precious,” has sparked major Oscar buzz.

Daniels is still “evaluating” the draft by Webb (who has written a script on Abraham Lincoln for Steven Spielberg). But Daniels says he doesn’t believe the *** scene is necessary.

“This project is still in an embryonic stage,” he says. “But I can tell you my story focuses on the civil rights marches. It’s not about tapes and prostitutes. It’s about the African-American man who changed history.



TANZA

Fall Back Negro!!


good_downsouth

Precious’ is so not Obama,” Daniels said. “ ‘Precious’ is so not P.C. What I learned from doing the film is that even though I am black, I’m prejudiced. I’m prejudiced against people who are darker than me. When I was young, I went to a church where the lighter-skinned you were, the closer you sat to the altar. Anybody that’s heavy like Precious — I thought they were dirty and not very smart. Making this movie changed my heart. I’ll never look at a fat girl walking down the street the same way again.” - A_Sez

Yes! This is the same article I read. Ole Coon! I'm sorry but he is!


bklynkey718

Well if he does make a the film... dont go see it... show no support.... let this bootlicker know that we will not let him ruin Dr King image


GeorgiaPeachATL

Like how yall did about Teddy P???? F- MTO hypocrite ***


libby36

Martin Luther King was sleeping around.I read he had white women too. The FBI and CIA had this stuff ***.They recorded and taped him ,malcomx and JFk back then. Hoover was gonna come out with this Info when he found out that MLK was getting a the Nobel Peace Prize. The media exposes everyones past MLK is no exception. He did a many many good things for us as a people but dont you ever notice that all the publicly great men have that infidelity demon????


Trashman

A lot of these comments are disappointing, aside from the usual leeches and parasite who say the SAME thing in every article there are people who seriously suggest excising a man's freedom of speech because you disagree with his rhetoric, ironically THAT was the foundation of the 1950-60s civil liberties campaign headed by your beloved MLK. You extol this man, rain fancies on his grave and exalt him beyond the highest peaks and yet do not understand his message; he would not agree with what is being said but he would respect the man's right to say it.


Trashman

Incredible how you hypocrites will be quick to comdemn a man for trying to present an alternative perspective on a historical man, but would you be any different to judge the Founding Fathers as racist, war mongering, rabble-rousers? It's that exact same sentiment of rigid IGNORANCE, (I know how you love that word) stiffening myopic *** that you all hopelessly CLING to.


Trashman

@DCstillhere You stupid, imbecilic piece of ***, OBVIOUSLY what I've been trying to tell you has gone over your head; grab a dictionary and spend an hour or so and come back when you understand.


SnookEms87

Now MTO Precious was based on the novel Push by Sapphire mainly everything that happened in the book was described in the movie therefore Lee Daniels can not be blamed for Precious Otherwise thats a *** shame


Blazn318

Who dis ***?


tuff-tony

@bpositive...why you getting upset that people abbreviate the mans name. truth be told his name is not martin. his real name is micheal king jr. that's a fact!

The question is WHY NOT. I mean no disrespect to Dr. King but I wouldn't mind seeing this movie sounds interesting.


OKC_405_GIRLJK

I could careless what MLK did in his personal life!!! We can eat, drink, sit and live amongst other races!!! I thank him for standing up for us and dying for a cause (EQUAL RIGHTS)!!!



tuff-tony

let me get a clear understanding here. so if me as a black man cheat on my faithful black wife..the mother of my children..with prostitutes black and heaven forbid white..while proselytizing the mass to conform to my faith and social ideology..i can get a reprieve from being called a charlatan and/or a sellout cuz i'm leading my people to the so-called promise land. a case of the blind leading the blind. tell the truth and shame the devil.


Ms_Milan

@texangirl, I just watched 'their eyes were watching God' for the first time. Just months after it was released, Hurricane Katrina hit with a simular hurricane scene as the movie. That's scary how hollywood, puts in our faces whats about to happen soon.


Ms_Milan

@Clarkthink, I need to request that you try to comment a little earlier in the day so I can start my day with a good laugh. You are by far my favorite commentor. You keep me laughing. I actually get a little sad when I sign on and your not here yet (lol) I never stay here too long cause of all the e-battles, so help me out :)


killuminati2014

Well MLK did have *** with two white women before he died, and he was married......


killuminati2014

xlarge Flag post Tell the truth and make the devil shame. People only look at the good that MLK did and feel that anything outside of that is a disgrace to his name. The man was a *** and he had outside marital relationships...WITH WHITE WOMEN!! Do your research.

Your right about that.......


chi-hop

yeah mlk had affairs we fuggin KNOW that wtf make a dayum movie about it? why not make a movie about j.edgar hoover being a ***? especially since this director a *** himself? this *** azz coon likes to make movies about degrading black folks but ain"t saying *** about these white folks and they dirt the early presidents had orgies with men and women owned slaves j.edgar hoover was *** etc etc etc


chi-hop

i can"t believe some of u mofos would co-sign a movie about that *** like i said j.edgar hoover was a *** and a BIG TIME racist destroyed the panthers looked the other way on the murders of mlk,malcolm x,fred hampton,framing of huey p. newton,etc etc and let the mafia rise up but made dayum sure black folks stayed 2nd class u self hating coons dwell on that *** while yall talking about yeah i wanna see that movie SMMFH!


mazrules

This fool making a movie about this will no change facts, he help out during the civil rights movment. Being one the road makes you lonely, its not unheard of. The director is trying to do diffrent things. I hope you are all aware MLK had herpes. No one talking about that.

Actually he wasn't the only one to do so and personally he really didn't do anything for me are my people.

he has already proven to be a LOSER, so he won't get another dime from me anyway.

@Proud2Bblack:

finally, someone else who saw everything wrong with that hideous minstrel! don't get me started on all of the stereotypes and down right anti-black depictions in that movie. HATED IT!

@killuminati2014- That's my opinion and I can respect your opinion respectfully!!!

@Tennis - ...I still have the scar from the water-cannons during the '67 riots... wow, kudos to you and thanks. I always find your responses to be mature and informative on various topics. Sometimes, we as young people do take certain sacrifices for granted.


ShayX

Lee Daniels is a confused mess, that sucks to c such sell-outs being ignorant and disrespectful on Martin Luther King's day . What kind of nation will that build this bootlickin website .. Black PPL own this . dayum they can't even control their media what a shame . and no 1 benefitted off of precious i mean it showd that .. Those things happen but their was so much ignorance in that movie ..



BIGSOUP

He look like a pervert. Who is he anyways never mind dat freak.


Ambrosia-sweetz

Well idk, there have already been many positive movies about Dr. King. Besides, don't his fam have to approve this sort of stuff before it is filmed? And last time I checked, Precious was a good movie, and these lil boys obviously had no prob with seeing Halle get nekkid in Monster's Ball.


Dreayonn

I haven't seen any of his movies at all and I guess not seeing any of his movies will continue on lol


mrslynn

DAYUM MTO...why did you report this on his Holiday? One more day wouldnt have hurt...out of respect for Dr. King and his family!


TheTruth052489

I find it funny how the second a black person isn't following the ignorant acts they see in music videos they are a trader. Majority of black people need to start taking steps in the right direction. White people don't defend white trash. Blacks *** defend bucket heads.


Brooklynbaby686

Well doesnt he need pernition from the fam unless they will allow for mlk(there fam member) repitation to b smeared and it has been said that he had prostitutes *** had a thinq fa da white women so hey


LVHUNNIE

MTO..get out of here..this man is very talented and creative..unlike ur site...HA! He did a very awesome job with Shadowboxer, Monsters Ball and Precious. His films all sent a good message along with real life experiences that are happening everywhere. He is not afraid to go there and give u ur money's worth. MTO u guys sit here and make blacks argue and call names at one another over the issshh u post..and most times it is not accurate or u make it seem more than what it is...HATERS!


beehighst

oh hell na dats jus wrong


MingMing

First off MTO, he didn't portray blacks in a negative light in Precious. It was a book, written by Sapphire! He merely brought the words to life on the silver screen. Second of all, wasn't it YOU guys that chose to put Teddy Pendergrass on blast about him being with a *** man who was dressed as a woman the *** he crashed his car?! And you're trying to be all sensitive about this sh*t? STFU and sit your dumb a$$ down somewhere!


mzlisa

IM NOT SHOCKED ABOUT THIS...WE ARE THE ONES THATS KEEPING US DOWN...NOT THE "WHITE MAN" SMH


PaBlokavO

he need to get off MLK diqq


enike_06

although i believe that he has been with prostiutes, i don't think he should make the movie but mto yall are hypocrites for saying he is being disrespectful when yall say that ciara looks like a transexual and have other allegations about celebrites


TaHeeHee

C'mon, he can express himself in film even if you don't like it but he should leave a deceased icon alone.


RamRod365

Some of you peoele are just as sad as that *** Lee. How do you justify highlighting the negitive side of any positive leader. Someone that lead, spoke, and was killed for the freedom of all people. You jerks are stupid. Its just terrible. All of what you hear are not even facts. The man,(along with Malcom X)was destroyed by this Gov. using our own people to do it. All they did was tap peoples phones and set them up to look bad in front of the people that looked up to them. Get a grip, if it happened it happened, if it didnt it didnt, only he knows the real truth...Why bring it up now???!!!


RamRod365

Ignorance, is so huge with our youths, distractions and laziness keeps everyone seemingly dumb. We must learn more about our history, not just 1 or 2 things you've hard about someone. research. The sad part, its easier then its ever been to find loads of info on anybody. Real quick too. But our youths spend all their time BS'ing w/their computers. Its really sad, so they stay stuck on stupid. They have no idea of the sacrifices many have people made so they can do what they want today. People have really "died" for liberty here! But the fools and small minded people take it for granted.



Tyquanna

Well let him make the movie and we won't support it at the box office.


Kadaj

MTO, you are so full of it. You are different from what you are accusing Lee Daniels of doing how?

You paint black people in a negative light EVERY DAY and the only time it is positive is when you are talking about Beyonce and kissing her backside. You ALWAYS find something wrong with anything most black people do even if it's positive. Sit down and fall back with that hypocricy. Sites like this are what continue to keep our community down.


blakbrotha

HE PROBABLY WISHES HE WAS WHITE! THERE WAS NOTHING POSITIVE ABOUT MONSTER'S BALL OR PRECIOUS BOTH TIMES I LEFT THE MOVIE THINKING WHAT THE FU.....!!!!!!!!!!!!


KEAIDYB_DABOSS

lmao @ mto for this article. Ya'll need to stop frontin like ya'll wern't pushin Precious super hard. Now all of a sudden you have "had it up to here" with him?! It's so funny how undecided you guys can be


capricornboi80

MTO HAS SOME NERVE TO HATE ON THIS MAN, ALL MTO DOES IS REPORT DIRT OF AFRICAN AMERICANS. MONTERS BALL WAS A GREAT MOVIE AS WELL AS PRECIOUS. PRECIOUS SHOWED WHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ACTUALLY GO THROUGH IN LIVE, AS FAR AS THE MOVIE ABOUT DR KING, IF THE *** IS TRUE THEN TELL THE STORY....

WASN'T IT JUST LAST WEEK WHEN MTO ADDED THAT IGNORANT/DISRESPECTUL AZZ LINE ABOUT WHO WAS IN THE CAR WITH TEDDY P WHEN HE HAD HIS ACCIDENT BACK IN THE 80'S, REPORT SOME *** LIKE THAT WHILE REPORTING THE MANS DEATH...
