Please change: During this period, Murphy was criticized by filmmaker Spike Lee for not using his show business stature to help black actors break into film,[33] despite Murphy's films (especially those he produced) often being populated with predominantly black casts (Coming to America, Harlem Nights, Boomerang, Vampire in Brooklyn, Life).

To: During this period, Murphy was criticized by filmmaker Spike Lee for not using his show business stature to help black actors break into film,[33] but as Murphy's prominence grew, his films (especially those he produced) would often feature predominantly black casts (Coming to America, Harlem Nights, Boomerang, Vampire in Brooklyn, Life).

Because the reference (33) is a Jet magazine interview with Spike Lee dated March 6th, 1989. With the exception of "Coming to America", all the movies listed were released after that date. In fact, Murphy only had 6 films released at that time, most of which didn't have notable black casting. But indeed "Coming to America" had a largely black cast, and was the first film Murphy had sole story credit on. His film before that, "Beverly Hills Cop II", was the first film he had partial story credit on, and did feature more black characters than "Beverly Hills Cop". So a more unbiased middleground that doesn't imply Spike Lee's criticism was unfounded is fair to both of them. 216.15.40.51 (talk) 14:59, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

Done I agree that the suggested edit corrects the sequence of the films listed versus Lee's criticism and complies with the sources already present. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 22:46, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

For clarity I would suggest changing it from "His father died in 1969 when he was eight." to "His father died in 1969 when Murphy was eight." the original wording could make it sound like the father was eight when he died. Thecrazycanuck (talk) 04:54, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
