Then you've got Malcolm X, Zimbabwe, etc.

Oh, I wouldn't call Zimbabwe part of the anti-blaxploitation bit. It's Mugabe's political coup d'êtat. He's persecuted blacks as well as whites and is trying to paint this as a racial thing so no one interferes with his dictatorship. Check out the facts -- more blacks have been killed, tossed into prison etc. by him than whites.

One fact that is usually overlooked is that when a white farm family is dispossed so are their Black employees. Many Blacks are losing their jobs in order to give land to Mugabe's "war veteran" supporters.
