Reply to comment by SophisticatedVagrant in Quentin Tarantino responds to Kanye West saying Django Unchained was his idea by PineBarrens89
Reservoir Dogs isn't blaxploitation but True Romance and Pulp Fiction both rely on the stereotypes. Sam Jackson and Gary Oldman specifically. Blaxploitation is aimed at white youth consumers who love the urban image. Jackie Brown was just a blatant blaxploitation movie after people forgot why they were criticized in the past.

Blackspoitation movies were made by black people because black people kept getting shut out of hollywood. When they ended up becoming popular hollywood realized easy cheap movies aimed at black people were very profitable. They amped up the "exploitation" as time went on in typical fashion of movies trying to one up one another. Then like a lot of x-sploitation genres they died off as the themes of the genre naturally found there way into other films or avenues without being over the top. Occasionally a new one springs up that gains some traction.

Mario Van Peebles started the genre in the early 70s as a serious black film maker but Hollywood appropriated the genre to sell a dumbed down superficial version to white consumers who love all things 'black'.
This song is almost 100 years old.
White American youth were stuck going to church on Sunday, praying nightly, and being told pretty much everything fun is 'sinful'.
Meanwhile, 'black' people were partying, smoking weed, getting drunk, having sex, and making good music.

Race records in the past were made by black artists then appropriated by the music industry who sold it to white kids who loved it and hated their parents, the church, their teachers, etc...
They turned anti-establishment and became rebel Hipsters.

Hollywood has been exploiting black people since Vaudeville & Minstrel shows. This was fairly common knowledge until the early 90s to be honest.

I still don't understand how you can use appropriation about art and culture inspiring and developing off each other.
All artist, all culture is based on something else, usually inspired or formed by society around the artist. Do you suggest we fine comb all culture and artistic expression, lock it down and then form a committee shutting down anything that can be found anywhere else? We also have to find the earliest expression of that art form and make sure they keep the rights to make anything in that expression and everything else is banned.

You think sjw's are defending the Nazi? That's funny.

Opposite actually. This stuff was designed to pander to the 60s/70s version of 'social justice warriors'.
This scene from Fritz the Cat satirizes those types of people.
This Kids in the Hall skit satirizes the 90s version.

Hey american sjw, you claimed Tarantino made his career by reviving Blacksploitation. Prove it then, because all evidence points to him making it with Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction and sementing it with Kill Bill.

Is this when you use semen to join things together?

You're on a sub devoted to 'white people' talking about a movie about slaves getting revenge against their southern masters.
Black people in the 80s were tired of this stuff back then.

I normally ignore typos but how do you fuck up spelling cementing? If english isn't your native tongue, I'd understand.

Weird didnt know r/videos was devoted to white people talking about slave revenge movies.

Cement kirjoitetaa suomeksi "sementti" joten meni ajattelematta sen enempää suomi ja englanti sekaisin koska c ja s kuulostaa pehmeänä lausuttuna melko samalta. Luulis kuitenki asiayhteydestä ymmärtänvän mitä tuolla tarkoitettiin.

If you can’t watch Pulp Fiction without being hyper fixated on race, you might be the racist
Gary_Vigoda t1_j1rhybf wrote
This came out in 1987 and satirized American's fixation with slave and ghetto movies.
Pulp Fiction came out in 1994 and played heavily off the same stereotypes Hollywood Shuffle criticized.
I'm not American. My observation is critical of Hollywood and left leaning Americans who eat this stuff up.
> If you can’t watch Pulp Fiction without being hyper fixated on race, you might be the racist
Everything you guys watch is about race. Even this stupid ass post is about a slave movie. I don't think it's me that has the race problem.
