The Black Man’s Burden
What happens when Kipling’s ideas in ‘The White Man’s Burden’ pierce the soul of the blacks? Then writers like H. T. Johnson pen down ‘The Black Man’s Burden’ in response to chauvinism, white supremacy, and racism.
Pile on the Black Man’s burden,
’Tis nearest at your door;
Why heed long-bleeding Cuba
Or dark Hawaii’s shore?
