The Term 'Blaxploitation Film' - Arose in the 70's and Still Is Used Today

Why does the Community not really care about this way of explaining the genre?
“Shaft” (1971)
“Superfly” (1972)
“Dolemite” (1975)
“Cleopatra Jones” (1974)
“Truck Turner” (1974)
“Blacula” (1972)
“Black Caesar” (1973)
“Three the Hard Way” (1974)
It starred “The Big Three” — star pro football players Jim Brown and Fred Williamson, as well as martial arts legend Jim Kelly — who team up to stop a wealthy white supremacist’s plot to contaminate the country’s water supply with a chemical designed to target and kill off every black person in the the country.

I love every one of those films.
Add Disco Godfather to the list
And many many more. I could sit all day getting fricked up and watching movies from a time when nobody gave a shite.

That's pretty much my point and question. The movies are still huge lore in the community but comes with a suffix implying Exploitation as an entire genre

It was prodded by a segment on the best Sports Radio station in America. 1310 The Ticket, Dallas. The Great Donovan ( who is black) was talking about some of the movies and using the term Blaxploitation several times while discussing them. Like it was normal. Which it is but almost 50 years in, the implication doesn't seem to bat an eye.
AMA?

Hollywood Shuffle was a parody of blacksploitation. A funny scene.
