- The darker side of cinema ... literally Blaxploitation movies' rise from divisiveness to dialogue to absurdity (By C. SPENCER BEGGS Scene Editor)
Huge Afros, gigantic medallions and righteous defiance of "The Man." It might sound like your average SYR, but there's actually a reason that the modern conception of the '70s always involves pimps, hos and gratuitous sexuality: blaxploitation movies.
- The World According to Coop — Blaxploitation: Let me break it down for ya (By CHRISTOPHER COOPER Scene Columnist)
Blaxploitation is more than just a genre of movies. It is a part of a whole movement that shifted how America viewed African-Americans in cinema.
