Thomas Frederick Dixon Jr. (January 11, 1864 – April 3, 1946) was a Southern Baptist minister, playwright, lecturer, North Carolina state legislator, lawyer, and author.
 In popular literature, two early 20th-century novels by Dixon—"The Leopard's Spots: A Romance of the White Man's Burden – 1865–1900" (1902) and "The Clansman" (1905)— romanticized white resistance in the south to the reforms of the Reconstruction era intended to make American blacks equal, hailing vigilante action by the KKK.
 Film director D. W. Griffith gained fame for his adaptation of "The Clansman" for the screen in "The Birth of a Nation" (1915); the film stimulated the formation of the 20th-century version of the KKK.
The term white savior, sometimes combined with savior complex to write white savior complex, refers to a white person who acts to help people of color, with the help in some contexts perceived to be self-serving.
 The role is considered a modern-day version of what is expressed in the poem "The White Man's Burden" (1899) by Rudyard Kipling.
 The term has been associated with Africa, and certain characters in film and television have been critiqued as white savior figures.
 Writer Teju Cole combined the term and "industrial complex" (derived from military-industrial complex and similarly applied elsewhere) to coin "White Savior Industrial Complex".
White Man's Burden was a soundtrack released in 1995.

TAG Recordings was an imprint of Atlantic Records, created in 1994 to host Atlantic's stable of alternative rock artists and capitalize on the genre's popularity at that time.

 TAG also released soundtrack CDs for two movies, "White Man's Burden" (1995) and "I Shot Andy Warhol" (1996).
John Joseph Travolta (born February 18, 1954) is an American actor, producer, dancer, and singer.
 Travolta first became known in the 1970s, after appearing on the television series "Welcome Back, Kotter" (1975–1979) and starring in the box office successes "Saturday Night Fever" (1977) and "Grease" (1978).
 His acting career declined through the 1980s, but enjoyed a resurgence in the 1990s with his role in "Pulp Fiction" (1994), and he has since starred in films such as "Face/Off" (1997), "Swordfish" (2001), "Wild Hogs", and "Hairspray" (both 2007).

 He was the principal of Lincoln School there from 1868-1879 and later the principal of Attucks School.
 He was a civil rights leader in the city and was widely known for his poem, "Take up the Black Man's Burden" written in 1899 in response to Rudyard Kipling's poem "The White Man's Burden".
 He was a member of the Citizen's League of Kansas City Inter-Racial Committee.
"Hey, Man!"
 is a song by Canadian singer-songwriter Nelly Furtado, produced by Gerald Eaton and Brian West for Furtado's debut album, "Whoa, Nelly!
".
 The song was released as the album's fourth (and final) single in some European countries, but it charted only in Germany, where it reached number forty-nine, Netherlands, where it reached number eighty-seven, and Romania, where it reached number sixty-five.
 "Hey, Man!"
 samples "White Man Sleeps" from the Kronos Quartet's album "Pieces of Africa".
 Furtado described the song as: "a big pop song and kind of rocking now because we went back to the demo version of it.
 Brian West had his 'Pieces of Africa' disc, and he wanted something distinct to happen in the chorus.
 So he chopped up 'White Man Sleeps' by The Kronos Quartet."
The Tears of the White Man: Compassion as Contempt (French: Le Sanglot de l'homme blanc.
 Tiers-Monde, culpabilité, haine de soi ) is a 1983 book by the French philosopher Pascal Bruckner.
 It describes how the political left of the Western world has a sentimental view of the Third World.
 Bruckner criticises this and how it is used to revel in self-hatred and perceived guilt.
 The title alludes to Rudyard Kipling's poem "The White Man's Burden".
 The book was published in English in 1986, translated by William R. Beer.
