...complexity of their lives to easy formulas. As the glitter-ridden elevator-shoed '70s dawned, the seminal "Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song" sparked what would become the Blaxploitation era of filmmaking. Since then, Black film has gone on to be characterized by mainstream stars such as Bill Cosby, Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy and more recently by independent filmmakers such as Charles Burnett, Spike Lee, Ernest Dickerson, Julie Dash, John Singleton and Reginald Hudlin...

His humor bursts the bubble of ego without destroying anyone's dignity. He doesn't seem to have an enemy in the business, which partly accounts for the success of Comic Relief, his annual TV show with Whoopi Goldberg and Williams, which raises millions of dollars for the homeless...
