I agree but bernadette (the sister on good times) is more beautiful and finer!!!

You got that right cat daddy!

The Black Baby Doll is right!

Great recollection my man!

I can't say every but I will say most. There were a couple who weren't foxes e.g. Johnnie Hill in Velvet Smooth and Jerri Hayes in Emma Mae/Black Sister's Revenge. I still love their movies though!

You got that right cat daddy!

👎🏿

Yep yep! Once they divorced, she reconnected with Curt Flood and they married.

You are a true connoisseur my man! And you're right, Pam transcended all races - I know Asians and Indians that had major crushes on her also!

Judy is beautiful but bernadette (the woman who is the sister on good times) is by far more beautiful than judy pace and pam grier!!!

She wouldn't marry you. 😂

While it's true there were some negative stereotypes, many of these movies were written, produced, directed and sometimes even financed by Black people. Hard to see any negativity in that. Not to mention that there were several "positive" films in the Blaxploitation genre e.g. "Black Girl", "Claudine", "Brother John", "Cornbread, Earl and Me" and many others. The original phrase, "Black Exploitation" was created out of spite. Junius Harris was a movie publicist who was trying to get the account for the movie Superfly. When he didn't get it, he got mad and started spreading the narrative that the influx of movies being put out in the early 70s was exploiting Black people. Thus he coined the term Blaxploitation. Although some leaders and organizations further pushed that viewpoint, there were many folks (including several who acted in these movies) who vehemently disagreed any exploiting was going on. Fred Williamson was one of the kings of the genre, creating his own production company and putting out movies during this time. And on several occasions, he's made the statement, "My checks cleared; and the people who worked for me, their checks cleared. So who the hell was being exploited?" Blaxploitation in this sense simply describes a genre and time in history (the 1970s) when there was an influx of movies made by and for Black people. Its nomenclature is no different from defining other genres of film like Chixploitation (e.g. Women in Prison movies from the 60s and 70s), Hixploitation (e.g. redneck movies from the 70s), Axeploitation (e.g. slasher/horror movies from the 80s) and Hoodxploitation (e.g. urban movies from the 90s and 00s). So for me, calling these ladies "Blaxploitation Beauties" is given homage to both the genre and their role in it. Thanks for the comment though cat daddy!

the negativity is referring to the movies as Blaxploitation, blacks were making there own movies using it as a pedestal to other genres. we were showing the world our point of view not there misconceptions, the god father movie gets an award and black movie makers get kicked out of the business Ignorance of our own leaders. we would have be further along with this thing called raceism and history

You are absolutely correct.
