I'm old enough to remember these movies come to the theaters and they seriously contrasted with the kind of movies that usually played. I never saw any of them because I wasn't old enough, and it's a good thing too, because they probably would have messed me up.

The movie that started the "blaxsploitation" craze was "Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song" by Melvin Van Peebles. From IMDB, this is the description:


Charming. Van Peebles made some money by acting in the movie "Watermelon Man", and decided to fund and make a movie for his own people. This was the message that he though would resonate with black audience, and apparently he was correct, because it was enormously popular.

His son, Mario Van Peebles, who appeared in his father's movie as a child, made a documentary about it called "Baadasssss!". It's actually a decent documentary and worth watching, if only to learn how niggers think.

In no time, garbage movies like "Shaft" and "Super Fly" crowded the theaters at 42nd Street. Such movies gave White Americans the idea that all niggers lived in ghettos, which all looked like Harlem in NYC, and that the "only way out" was to become a pimp or a pusher. They always blamed "the [White] man" and taught niggers in the 1970s how to become professional victims.

There were White men who came from nothing, went to Hollywood, and in time made great movies worth watching. When niggers finally had the opportunity to make their own movies, they made garbage. And they wondered why they were barred from making movies under the Hollywood studio system for so long. That's why.
