Why doesn't "The Mack" get called out for being a c00ntastic parody.

[Sauanaffe Tustunnagee]

While I never seen the flick the synopsis sounds like some hardcore sambo shyt.

-reformed drug dealer released from prison turned pimp heroic pimp

- our pimp with a heart of gold saves/turns a white streetwalker from privileged background into wifey but keeps his black hookers working the track.

-Pimp James Bond comes into various conflicts with rivals pimps and drug dealers in the underworld but emerges victorious the decides to expand operation out of town

As you probably already know, peoples concerns are selective, much like the caping for clearly shyt hip hop.

Blaxploitation were made with the express purpose of amplifying stereotypes to comic book levels. The Mack is no different. Doesnt mean people cant find it entertaining, though.

 

[Turbulent]

it does get criticized.

and it was a fun movie.

Did your girl choose a pimp over you, OP?

The Mack is a hood classic, bruh. Being from the Bay, that pimp lifestyle was and is a reality.

But Blaxploitation was a minstrel show genre much like modern Trap music. You got former CO's claiming to be former drug czars and no one bats an eye. But it ain't c00ning if there is some reality involved. Just like Gangsta Rap, they were mere telling what happens in the hood on a bad day. I think today there is less counterbalance between c00nish and consciousness much like the 70's. Nowadays, 90% of rappers and public figures are c00ns and 10% are conscious whereas in the 80's and 90's, you had the Boyz 'N The Hood to balance out Menace II Society, you had Tribe Called Quest to balance out N.W.A., Public Enemy to balance out 2 Live Crew, Souls of Mischief to balance out Spice 1 etc.

Exactly in entertainment.......ARGUABLY...there is no balance.
HOWEVER, with the internet and the ability to see and create and monetize non-corporate entertainment, there is actually MORE options than ever.

So..

The Mack has been criticized for enforcing stereotypes, but it get's a pass because at the time period roles for Blacks were still pretty limited and it provided paid work. Besides some appreciate it for what it is a kind of goofy pimp movie with some realistic elements of street life.
