Tyler Perry Humanitarian Award Acceptance Speech 2021 Oscars

[@Cgee3]

“Refuse hate, stand in the middle.” Words to start a true movement.

[@vickiwhalan4328]

I was just about to write the same thing! It's so true.

It’s hard to meet in the middle when one side demands you agree with them or your a hateful bigot.

[@Yogayin]

The was by far the best speech of the Oscars. Meet in the middle. Enough division. Who’d have thought the middle would become the new radical? Very happy to meet you in the middle Tyler Perry.

[@VintageDestroyed]

When one side goes so far left even the middle seems like its to the far right.

[@vickiwhalan4328]

Blessed are the peacemakers.

[@alexshmalex]

Now THIS is an America we can all believe in. God bless Tyler Perry.

[@rodrigo445678]

This is a great man. It’s so fulfilling when someone is universally loved without regard to ideology.

[@maskandvaccinefreeandproud2110]

The only speech worth hearing this year. God bless Tyler Perry. Stand up man.

[@swclar99]

I've known about Tyler Perry for a long time and watched some of his comedy through the years but as a white man, never really listened to him. His Emory commencement speech just came up on my youtube and I was blown away by it and now searching for his other speeches I found this. I'm blown away by him, he is a national treasure, an amazing man, and a wonderful human being. We are truly blessed, as he is one of the greatest speakers and humans to have ever lived and he is alive and well in our world today.

[@biyabyju3163]

One of the best speeches I've heard in the recent time🔥

[@josephdevine9860]

I totally agree !!! 😀🇺🇸❤️

[@foreverengland6590]

But isn’t it what your average joe/Julie does. The media are framing most of us as the problem when it’s the few who are creating it. And you notice they keep pointing out new non problems as problems with out any solution just you’re wrong because you’re a man, you you’re white, you your talking, you shut up. It’s just today’s money maker we’re all talking about it, and others get paid big bucks they move on move house we’re left with the crap

[@DeborahDupre]

Surely no Oscar acceptance speech tonight will be more meaningful or needed in the U.S. than Tyler Perry's. Who can pledge to heal America, beginning by eliminating the word "hate" in our vocabularies, then meeting for dialogue, and thus accept Perry's Humanitarian Award with him, as he invited us?

[@hlengiwembata7045]

Tyler is a child of God period....

[@gail6411]

You are in your calling..let nothing turn you around ..its so many want too be you ..speak freely..the world has a heart because of you.....again thank you...

[@reginarender5775]

Now that is what a Humanitarian looks like and sounds like. Congratulations to Mr. Tyler Perry so well deserved. Now let’s all meet him in the middle. 🙏🏼🙏🏼👏👏👏🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@meofcourseitsme]

Refuse hatred. Jesus loved sinners and hated sin .. Not the person. Thank you Tyler.

[@idowu.yusuf_QA]

Refuse hate Refuse blanket judgement

[@unzunzvroom]

Yup! Lets tell that to BLM and all their supporters lol

[@finddeniro]

It's Baseball Season. Mr Perry hits A Home Run. .out of the Park.

[@Suggahsweet1]

That was absolutely beautiful! Now if that message can get out to those who propagate hatred based on differences, so much of what is happening in the world today would be the beginning of the end.

[@kevindickerson9513]

Notice how when he talks bout cops no clapping they Don t care bout police because they are rich in live in 100 million dollar gated homes and got security just like lebron james much respect to Tyler

[@brittanyrasin2476]

People are stupid police has saved so many and when them celebrities needs help they will call them police for help

[@TheBurnonme]

Well congratulations to Tyler Perry because both House of pain and assisted living on BET pulled in 2 million viewers this week and in the top 20 as the most watched shows on cable. I'm so happy for Tyler Perry success

[@Daisy-we5mn]

Thank you Mr. Perry for an inspirational speech.

[@denisewozniak]

When you become aware of the hate you carry then you are on the right path to finding the middle. I refuse to judge or hate. #meetinthemiddle What a humble, caring role model.

[@mxolisimatundu]

"my feet are off the ground" read this speech by Tyler back in 2009. It still hangs on my wall 🙌🏽❤️

[@penangis]

"Refuse to hate" Absolutely moving. I refuse to believe the world is broken, i choose to believe more people will stand up and advocate "refuse to hate".

[@giovannysilva7735]

I can only imagine that this speech was the only see worthy thing on the Oscars this year, awesome speech

[@susansheehan9726]

Such true words, his story was so devastatingly beautiful.

[@susimarkell548]

Thank you for speaking truth. Refuse hate, stand in the middle and embrace love!

[@aaronpeart]

What a lovely man. To think I’ve gone all these years boiling down Tyler Perry to his Madea movies. He speaks like a prophet.

[@eoinMB3949]

That was the humanitarian speech of the night.

[@jondoh3418]

A speech so needed in this country. It is such a shame that this speech is not coming from our leaders. But rather an actor. An actor who is not responsible for bringing us together. But yet these words could do just that. Huge message of appreciation to Mr. Perry. I hope we see more of you soon. To others out there including myself.... we could all learn from this speech. And the media? And politicians..? just listen to this. Act on it.

Tyler Perry might as well be Frodo Baggins because he just cast the one ring into the fires of Mount Doom. Everyone needs to share this because so many have been mislead.

I respect and admire this man so very much. I just HOPE AND PRAY his enormous platform does not get used in anyway to use the hateful word RACISM as his friends Opray Winfrey Gayle King and the African American lady on The Talk do.

I’ll never forget my friend, Leonard he was of color, I never saw that, but others notice our friendship and treated me very poorly. That was in the 70s, I never forgot my friend, he was the best artist, he drew pictures for me. I’m white and 58, never forgot his kindness to me....I’m with you dear sir, my parents never us to taught hate, we need to pay it forward.....the Love of Jesus 🙏🏻

You can hear the applause build as he's talking about refusing hate of all these groups but then die down when he refuses to hate white people or cops.

From what i hear he was the only good part of this entire thing.

Why am i not seing this on on ABC CNN MSNBC

[@justsomeguy8103]

It says abc bottom right of the screen

[@areki3852]

Seems to me he did feel he'd have to hide "I don't hate White people; I don't hate cops" in the applause he knew he'd get for saying woke stuff right beforehand.

[@hanshauge2582]

He is by far a better man, leader and role model than Lebron James
