Tyler Perry Lost Some Viewers With His Message of Inclusion

Posted byBy Kiersten Willis | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

The 51st Annual Country Music Association Awards threaded a theme of unity throughout the ceremony. Tyler Perry was one attendee who shared a message of inclusion, which brought out differing reactions from viewers.

“Now it has never been more important than it is right now that we all come together, find some common ground, spend some time listening to each other, and realize that we are more alike than we are not alike,” Perry said at the Wedesday, Nov. 8 ceremony, which saw opening commentary from hosts Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley on President Donald Trump, but no mention of gun control.

While his remarks garnered a standing ovation, some in the at-home crowd had a different response.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
