Our friends over at Straight from the A ran into Tyler Perry over the weekend in New Orleans, Louisiana at the Essence Music Festival and talked with the writer/director briefly about what’s really going on with the whole Boondocks situation.

“Just like the Spike Lee situation, I feel that ‘no response’ is the best response. I’m just gonna leave it at that…
