:stop Now seems like a really good time to be black in America

Tyler Perry is a billionaire while his highest rated movie from what I can tell is rated only a 5.9 out of 10 on IMDB. It also appears that most of his movies are below a 5 out of 10 on IMDB. I have only seen one of his movies which I believe was 'Madea goes to Jail' (2009) IMDB 4.5/10 which I watched with two young black women and I believe I was only able to get through the movie because I was high as giraffe pu$$y.

This leads me to believe if I were also black I could make awful movies geared towards black audiences and still become filthy rich, but unfortunately I'm white and would be accused of "cultural appropriation". Instead, I have to compete against the likes of Steven Spielberg, Christopher Nolan, Quentin Tarantino etc..

Here are Tyler's highest rated movies:

Why Did I Get Married? (2007) - IMDB 5.9 / 10
Diary of a Mad Black Woman (2005) - IMDB 5.8 / 10
Madea's Witness Protection (2012) - IMDb 4.9 / 10
Madea's Big Happy Family (2011) - IMDB 4.9 / 10
I Can Do Bad All by Myself (2009) - IMDB 4.5 / 10

For contrast, Quentin Tarantino is worth "only" $120M while being considered the greatest director of his generation.

Pulp Fiction (1994) - IMDB - 8.9 / 10
Inglourious Basterds (2009) - IMDB 8.3 / 10
Reservoir Dogs (1992) - IMDB - IMDB 8.3 / 10
Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003) - IMDB 8.1 / 10
True Romance (1993) - IMDB 8.1 / 10

I understand both directors are independent filmmakers. I just don't understand the discrepancy of net worths between the two. Is it quantity over quality in this case? So I would like to ask the brilliant minds of GFY, what are your thoughts on this?
