I've always liked filmmaker and producer Tyler Perry and his films. Now, I have even more respect for the man.
On Sunday, Perry invited people to join him in unity, as he spoke during the Oscars. He encouraged people to "meet me in the middle" and refuse hate." And yes, he was including the hate towards police officers as well.
The Madea actor said, “I refuse to hate someone because they are Mexican or because they are black or white or LBGTQ [sic]. I refuse to hate someone because they are a police officer. I refuse to hate someone because they are Asian,” he said.
"Refuse hate."

Perry also dedicated his Oscar to “anyone who wants to stand in the middle, no matter what’s around the walls, stand in the middle because that’s where healing happens, that’s wear conversation happens, that’s where change happens. It happens in the middle.”
“So anyone who wants to meet me in the middle, to refuse hate, to refuse blanket judgement, and to help lift someone’s feet off the ground, this one is for you too,” he added.
