        It would also be interesting to see how this is in African American films vs Nollywood/Wakaliwood/SA films

        I've been watching a several early-70s blackspoitation movies for the Film Slobs podcast. They don't have token white people. Major white people are generally in positions from which they can anoint or destroy the black protagonist. And they subverted anointing immediately.

        The genre-defining example of a white character anointing a blacksploitation protagonist is, of course, Dracula sucking Mamuwalde's blood and giving him the title Blacula after their disagreement over the merits of racial chattel slavery.
