Monsters 101, Book Five: "Monsters & Monarchy" (front cover)

Wall to Wall Super Action! - A surprising reveal for Pugroff in this segment when he and Tanglewood Middle School’s Principal Smith discover each others’ secret identities. It turns out that Smith is retired former crime fighter Eye of Justice, who gives the monster some sound advice on some issues that have been plaguing him. Meanwhile Azoratain the trickster dragon is both surprised and delighted that the three monsters’ quest for the legendary faerie battle axe Dragon’s Fang was successful, and he comes to steal it for himself! Proving to be easier said than done when such a weapon is wielded by the ferocious Pugroff, the wily worm enlists the aid of the former bully’s oldest foe, Cliff the Hall Monitor, who is resurrected from the grave and given enough power to enable their momentous battle to continue where it left off… with Cliff beating the heck out of Pugroff!

Madea versus Mammy

                                                

Because black actors were only allowed to do certain roles in the beginning of American stage/screen work, modern black actors shouldn't be allowed to perform any role that may even remotely remind certain viewers of those old roles? That's unfair and over-the-top. That's not what freedom looks like. Freedom says, "Now you can perform whatever role you wish, guilt-free based on where ever your creative muse guides you. Now you are truly equal." You are trying to impose a new cage, a new Coloreds Only sign based on nothing but baggage and that's some bullsh*t. I would agree with you if Madea was wearing blackface, was a servant in a white home, shuffling when she walked, and talking like Rochester. Then sure. Shy of that then the "Madea is an offensive stereotype" argument is just as dumb as the 'birther' stance.
