An era of its own. A time when American was in a transition from separatism to civil rights. The 70's was a Golden Age on so many levels and the influence echoes around the world in present day. Blaxploitation is considered in my opinion to be the coolest of cool. Touching on the most sensitive material in America at its time and exploiting them on the big screen or the vinyls in your record player produced for a glorified genre that nobody will ever be able to duplicate. Our mission at Blax-Pride is to educate those who are unfamiliar with this era and combine knowledge with those who are familiar.
Also you will notice Kung Fu movies on this site as well. What does this have to do with Blaxploitation? Well, the more action packed Blaxploitation films did not just street fight. Oh no.....they thought they were Kung Fu Masters. Chinese martial art movies gave a sense of invincibility to these actors. Seeing how cool it was to be a masterful fighter, why not just integrate this with Pimpin', Hustlin', Jive Talkin' and Pam Grier? Blax-Pride!!!
I would like to introduce everyone to the newest member to the Blaxploitation Pride Team; Mr. Wone. You all have probably notice the high volumes of movies we have posted on the blog. Well, all of this is due to Mr. Wone's contributions. He also has personal connections with the Blaxploitation Era, which gives all of us the opportunity to drain all we can about Blaxploitation out of him. You can contact him at Wonenation@gmail.com if you have an questions about Blax-Pride.

It's a pleasure to be a part of something I've been a part of since I exited the womb.
I look forward to contributing substantially as much as you (Self Science) and Funkback have done for us all with such a dynamic vessel of history.
The honor is mine.
