I don't know if this will help, but a majority of blaxploitation movies were written and produced by white people - who might or might not hire a black director, depending. An Amazon search pulled up America on Film: Representing Race, Class, Gender, and Sexuality at the Movies by Harry M. Benshoff and Sean Griffin and Black Film/White Money by Jesse Algeron Rhines that might be worth reading.
I had been looking for a book on blaxploitation history that I'd seen at Kim's Video in New York City a year or so back, but I don't really remember the name offhand and none of the choices Amazon coughed up sounded like it.
