From Wikipedia:

Blaxploitation or blacksploitation is an ethnic subgenre of the exploitation film, emerging in the United States during the early 1970s. The films, though receiving backlash for stereotypical characters all the while, were one of the first instances in which black actors and communities were the heroes and focuses of cinema and/or television, rather than being portrayed as sidekicks or as victims of brutality.[1] The genre allowed the rethinking of race relations in the 1970s.

Blaxploitation films were originally made specifically for an urban black audience, but the genre's audience appeal soon broadened across racial and ethnic lines once Hollywood realized the potential profit of expanding the audiences of blaxpoitation films across those racial lines.

The Los Angeles National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) head and ex-film publicist Junius Griffin coined the term from the words "black" and "exploitation." Variety credited Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song and the less radical Hollywood-financed film Shaft (both released in 1971) with the invention of the blaxploitation genre.[2]

Blaxploitation films were the first to regularly feature soundtracks of funk and soul music and primarily black casts
