In this clip with actors Fred "The Hammer" Williamson and Michael Jai White, they discussed "Black Dynamite," and the wider conversation around blaxploitation films. They critique the term "blaxploitation," stating that it was only later adopted after certain films had already been made. Williamson believes that white production companies created the label, which was then amplified when groups like the NAACP started accusing these films of exploiting black actors. Both Michael and Fred agreed that this label has overshadowed the films themselves, which they view as important vehicles for black representation, akin to the James Bond franchise. Williamson also praised "Dolemite" and its creator, Rudy Ray Moore, describing him as clever and smart for exploiting audience's ignorance for his gain while not conforming to mainstream expectations.
