Blaxploitation


Blaxploitation films are the King and Queen of black stereotypes. They were made for the urban African Americans. Most Blaxploitation films takes place in a typical "ghetto" setting and mostly involves drug-dealing, pimps and hit men. These films are switched in context with other types of films. In these films, African Americans use a lot of of ethnic slurs and a lot of the white actors in these films are portrayed as crooked cops, politicians and prostitutes. There were some blaxploitation films that were set in south. Those films set on a plantation and dealt with slavery and segregation.One of the most famous blaxploitation actress was Pam Grier.
