Shaftized
Shaftized - A euphoric infatuation with the genre of Blaxploitation in film that develops after watching the film Shaft. I was Shaftized as a baby so I really don’t remember how it felt at first, but I do know how it has felt ever since. The story of the 1971 movie Shaft is centered around an African American private detective named John Shaft, portrayed by Richard Roundtree, who was hired by a New York gangster to rescue his daughter from the clutches of the Italian mafia. Along the way Shaft battles the relations of racial and social issues that plague the Black community.
