Shaft has Gone to ”Soulsville,” Actor Richard Roundtree dead from Pancreatic Cancer at Age 81

Richard Roundtree’s breakout role was that of a Black Private Detective in the 1971 Blockbuster “Shaft”. Shaft gave Black Folk something they needed. He kicked the drug dealers and the White men who they worked for in the ass. His style of investigation was raw but it felt good to the Brothers and he looked good to the Sistahs. Thanks Richard, you touched lives!

Find your FATHER'S. Honor thy father and mother. 80 percent fatherless households, Native people. I Love the person of these characters.

Let’s hope you respect and honor your own.Native people and others always cherished their elder males who were often slaughtered or otherwise enslaved by Bible carrying hypocrites.
