I know it's late, but here's a little anecdote for you.
I was discussing Shaft with my mother for some reason, I think it was about the song. She finally suggested renting the movie. I said sure. So we went to Blockbuster (dated reference!) Action movies? Not there. Classics? Nope. Drama??? No. We finally gave up and asked an attendant.
At this point I should mention, we went in February. So you can guess what happened next.
"Oh, it's in the Black History Month section."
Mom and I: looking at each other blankly, then shrugging Welp, okay!
Imagine putting a blaxploitation movie in the black history month section. Just goes to show wokeness and racism are two sides of the same coin.
Shaft!
