I think we're lookin at this from 2 sides of the same coin. You're lookin at "Blaxploitation it's exact definition and style, where I'm lookin at the stereotype we became like Robert Townsend did in "Hollywood Shuffle", The Wayans' "Im Gonna Git You Sucka"/Don't Be A Menace" and Spike Lee's "Bamboozled"
The Official Blaxploitation Movie Thread!!

BLACK DYNAMITE is destined for cult film status. This action-packed comedy is meticulously and lovingly rooted in the great traditions of American Blaxploitation and Kung Fu films. A fresh and outrageous remix of films like "Shaft" (1971), "Super Fly" (1972), and "The Mack" (1974), BLACK DYNAMITE is wrapped in a delicious and funky original soundtrack.
Directed by Scott Sanders, BLACK DYNAMITE is “...a neck-snapping orgy of martial-arts mayhem..." (Film Threat) and "...sustains the comedy while taking a nice big sucker punch at the underlying politics of our time." (Sundance Film Festival) Don’t miss your chance to see this soon-to-be classic film that “…leaves its predecessors in the dust, largely thanks to its filmmakers’ genre expertise, zany plot/sharp comedy writing, and of course, the physical prowess and deadpan hilarity of its co-writer/star Michael Jai White, who is one bad, righteous mothaf*cka.” (Marlow Stern)
Co-starring Tommy Davidson, Salli Richardson-Whitfield, Arsenio Hall, Byron Minns, Kym Whitley, and Richard Edson. The film runs 90 minutes. www.blackdynamitemovie.com
Presented by The Oakland Underground Film Festival. http://www.oakuff.org/
