* Somewhat inverted in ''ReignOverMe'', where Alan Johnson (played by DonCheadle) helps his former college roommate (Creator/AdamSandler) cope with the losses he suffered in the September11 terrorist attacks.
* ''{{Glory}}'', another based-on-a-true-story film about the white officer commanding the first black regiment of the Union Army during the AmericanCivilWar.
* ''TheLastSamurai'' is a case of counteracting the damaging influence of White Man's Burden... [[BrokenAesop from the point of view of a]] MightyWhitey.
* ''TearsOfTheSun'', where a squad of White American SEALS (with the exception of one TokenBlack) save a bunch of Nigerian refugees from [[ScaryBlackMan evil Nigerian militants]].
* ''TheBirthOfANation'' plays this to some extent really horribly, with Austin Stoneman’s [[ScaryBlackMan mulatto protégé Silas]].
* ''The Substitute'' is an action movie take on the "white teacher challenges the inner-city kids." He's actually a mercenary who's investigating the attack on his teacher girlfriend, but along the way he manages to knock some sense into his class and helps take down the black principal's drug ring.
