Pants: True, its definitely in the same family as Last House, House on The Edge of the Park and those kinds of flicks.
Theres a very fine line there. Exploiting Racial hatred towards black people in movies (shocksploitation) isnt the same as Black empowered crime/action/revenge/horror genre movies (blaxploitation).

And yet, in FFYL, the crime is taking the blacks as hostages, not to mention the rape and murder, and there’s revenge at the end. And the theme song actually has “fight for your life” in the title… and of course, the black people in the film are revolting against their oppressors… not specifically just The Man…
But at least we can agree that it’s an exploitation film, if not a blaxploitation film, and a home invasion movie, which, well, duh…
