I have to push back on this just a little. I agree and understand the overall point. But those four categories listed are not the only type of black movies made. Again, I agree with the main premise. I just think it's a tad bit deceptive and disingenuous.
I will agree. Just off the top of my head ...add Hancock, Daddy Day Care, Hidden figures, Bad Boys, Blank Panther etc to those boxes and there is a bigger picture at play.
I’m dead ass serious when I say that Black Americans will not identify with a movie about African history or culture. At least not on a box office hit level. And Black Panther doesn’t count.
Warner Brothers, MGM, Disney, Universal, 20th Century Fox, and so on ain’t doing it if it doesn’t have earning potential. However, slave movies and segregation movies wins awards.

don't forget all the black love movies from the love jones era.
Soul Food I identify with
Not exactly a historical African film...but it didn't shit on the continent or the culture either.
Roughly, Black films 105 films were released between 1983 and 1999.
More than half of those movies were "hood" movies. The 90s produced more box office hood films than any other decade.
Over 250 Blaxploitation films were released in the 1970s. About half were all-black cast films.
The 70s produced more slave films than any other decade of filmmaking history combined!
Between 1976 (JD's Revenge) and 1990 (Def by Temptation), only two all-black cast horror films were made and it was by the same director. They were so low-budget that it wasn't even acknowledged until years later.

One film from over 30 years ago, which 90% of the film took place in Queens.
Outside of Coming to America and Black Panther, any other African-based films Black Americans enjoyed the same way?
Bruh they LITERALLY flipped everything in reverse..
from Black orginally meaning to be PALE, derived from the word blanco....
bruh its fuckin insane...
but as I dig whats even more sickening,
are the boule agent muthafuckas that look
just like copper colored folk so called black people, doing all the dirty work,
because they really out here,
tryin to be a Toby,
even though the whole ROOTS story is bullshit,
MLK was murdered for saying
we are refugees...
ON OUR OWN LAND!!
he didnt say from Africa, and for telling that
masonic truth, he was murdered..
Bruh one of the truths Im finding out is....
A lot of shit you thought took place in the bible
in countries far far away..
lets just say,
Took place much much closer than you think!!!
I mean MUCH CLOSER!!!
there was NO jesus..
BUT there was a Yashua and Yashua
had a bloodline, and that bloodline
IS THE LOST SHEEP OF ISREAL..
you know the ones enslaved for four hundred years,
and lost their language and culture...
Yea Those are the CHOSEN PEOPLE!!!!!
if you have a culture and language be it, adopted or stolen..
cough cough the goyim pseudo jew cough cough
you are NOT the chosen people... not by a longshot...
but chea they are REALLY going hard now with the history
revision,
because... the whole EDUCATIONAL system is
about to be put on the METAVERSE
yes the future of going to school will be like
playing a game of todays grand theft auto online
with friends...without the sex and violence of course..
but once that happens they are really going to attempt
to witewash history...
the main reason, is to pretend WE came from a far away place
and cacs and mongolian hybrids were already here..
When the Olmec heads and the Mayan cave paintings
alone knock all that shit out the box..
hey but the great news is,
anyone can create a metaverse,
ANYONE!!!
the code is already written.....
Excellent point
Brotha's, this is how the conditioning and programming works!! Oh yeah, dont forget to toss in a steady flow of repetition and the television then the MINDFUCK begins!!! Never forget, the television, media/social media, music, sports and politics industry is our biggest enemy!! But getting the masses to see this and snap outta the trance, is damn near impossible because the masses think they know the people the see in the entertainment industry!! However, this corporation would never mislead or do anything wrong to a group of people they love so damn much,, HUH??
The Coming to America episode on The Movies That Made Us playing on Netflix now was VERY intersting and educational. I encourage anyone to watch it

Right on, bruh!!! Great post!! Ive been trying to tell folks this corporation has areas in the grand canyon off limits, to keep folks/copper color people from finding out the damn truth! Theres other places in this colony their hoping and praying we dont start reading, because the truth will be exposed!!
Yup and whereever they built their major universities and churchs... On top of a lot of our sacred ancient mounds..
they also use dams to create rivers to flood our a lot of our history to...
Yea the rabbit hole goes deep...when it comes to all the shit they covering up,
but you cant cover truth for ever..
Like a blade of grass breaking through concrete..
Truth always rises AGAIN!!
We have blade = sci fi

This is old news.
If you take all white people's actions in the context of them reinforcing their "superior" narrative, it all makes sense. It's just that simple. Everything they do and say is to further entrench that doctrine.
The outliers come from their crushing sense of guilt for what they've done and their fear that non-white people will unite and subject them to that or worse.

Yeap, those rotten mothafucka's have been hidin the truth since those so-called pilgrims showed up on our shores!! Dont forget they stole all our inventions(which is everything you see when you walk out your front or backdoor) and renamed alot of them and put their fucking name on it!!Theres no way in hell, these euro rejects come to this land and all of a sudden started inventing things like sports, all these cities, food, farming, clothing, housing and so on!! Anyway, good reply brotha!!
Lol!
Seriously tho, Mr. Perry does have a couple of movies that are tolerable.
Not going to compare 70`s era vs today's mentality in regards to slave films. One era was just getting to see that history on film vs it being overkill for another era. There was a reason ROOTS blew up the way it did.
As to the 90`s hood era, are we going to pretend that black folks weren't going to see those movies and were enjoying them at some point? The only hood flick from that era, with mass crossover appeal, was Boys in the Hood. After that, it was majority black folk in those theater seats. When Black folk got tired of them, Hollywood moved on.
The large majority of horror films from the 70's to today are low budget projects. You will be hard pressed to find a lot of horror movies with block buster budgets (yes there are a few, but not many). The large majority of modern day "classic" horror films were low budget projects, when released.
My point was that WE drive the type films that get made for us for the most part. As a whole, black folks isn’t as open to other genres and we get stuck with the same damn film all the time.
My point about horror films is that we aren’t open to them. Reread my horror film comment.
Between 1976 (JD's Revenge) and 1990 (Def by Temptation), only two all-black cast horror films were made and it was by the same director.
If hollywood doesn’t see a market, then they ain’t making it and Black folks aren’t into horror/sci-fi/fantasy films when it’s comes to having an all-black cast.
Tell that to Jordan Peele in 2021
I could, and he already knows.
