Black Fist is an obscure 1975 blaxploitation film about a streetfighter who goes to work for a white gangster and a corrupt cop. The film is in public domain. Its tagline was "The Big Bad Black Dude of the Streets... He'll bust you up, slam you down and blast you into pieces!"
Contrary to the Black character of the 1975 film, General Kabaka Oba (GKO) took his fights to the political arena, and was an excellent contender. No matter whether he was at Cincinnati City Hall, protesting on the streets, at rallies, or on the radio stations WLW 700am and WDBZ 1230am, people knew he meant business. Because of America's discrimination, oppression, and brutal attacks inflicted on the disadvantages, particularly Black people, he worked tiredlessly on their behave for hope and change. He had the heart of a champion. He was the people's hero. Their "SHAFT".

LYRIC:
Who's the black private
dick that's a sex machine to all the chicks?
(Shaft!)
You're damn right
Who is the man that would risk his neck for his brother man?
(Shaft!)
Can ya dig it?
Who's the cat that won't cop out
when there's danger all about
(Shaft!)
Right on
You see this cat Shaft is a bad mother--
(Shut your mouth)
But I'm talkin' about Shaft
(Then we can dig it)
He's a complicated man but no one understands him but his woman
(John Shaft)
He has truly earned the championship title of being "The Big Bad Black Dude of Politics."
REST IN PEACE, CHAMP.
