Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
No, it's not. As a white guy, even unaware of the DVD release, my friends and I when discussing Fred Williamson's acting career simply called this "Boss" all the same... and you should, too.

Due to an error with the website, it doesn't show what my previous edit was. It was me replacing "Bowdlerise" with "Censored Title", since that's the trope that fits better.

** Although it's not all that audacious for the Blaxploitation genre. Fred Williams also starred in "The Legend of Nigger Charley" and "The Soul of Nigger Charley". Blaxploitation movies did this all the time.

* SpiritualSuccessor: To Williamson's previous Westerns, "The Legend of Nigger Charley" and "The Soul of Nigger Charley". A common, though [[WildMassGuessing unconfirmed]] theory, [[StealthSequel is that Boss is in fact the same character, Charley]].
