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!!!

The Pittsburgh Pythons are the worst team in the NBA.
Most of the players think the reason why they are in the cellar is because
Moses Guthrie who they feel is monopolizing the spotlight. So when they walk out,
the towel boy, Tyronne decides to consult with an astrologist, Mona.
They in turn decide to hold open tryouts and they only select players who are born
under the same zodiac sign as Guthrie, Pisces. And what they get are some weirdos
but they play together, they are phenomenal. When they start winning the owner decides
to rename the team the Pisces.
