White Man’s Burden Vs Black Man’s Burden
The Argument Kipling was trying to make that its white man’s responsibility to guide and convey their culture on non white people. The main idea Kipling was talking about in his poem was that even though it may seem bad or annoying, European and other white people should go and educate other people even if they don’t want to be educated. His believe was that white man are superior any other race. He specifically talked about Africans being uncivilized. In lines 1 to 4 he said “Take up the white Man’s Burden-Send forth the best ye bread- Go bind your Sons to exile to serve your captives needs”. White man think Africans are completely relying on them to educate them. In lines 7 and 8 of his poem he described Africans as “Your New-caught, Sullen peoples/ Half-devil and half child”. , meaning that they were crazy and dumb. Kipling also talked about Africans being savage as well as ungrateful of the assist that they have been given. In line 33 to 36 he Writes “Take Up the White Man’s Burden- and reap his old reward-The blame of those ye better- The hate of those ye guard- The Cry of hosts ye humor.” He is basically in favor of imperialism
In black man’s Burden, Edward Morel challenges the believes of Kipling in many ways. He basically talked about the negative impact of Europeans attempt to bring imperialism into their culture. In his book he said, “It kills not the body merely but the soul. It breaks the spirit. It attacks the Africans at every turn, from every point of vantage”. He talked about how Europeans poisoned not only their bodies but also their souls; also, he talked about how Europeans brought hardship to Africa that resulted in a lot of deaths. The imperialism brought to Africa really affected African culture and traditions. He also talked about how abusive and serious damages it caused to African society which can’t be replenished. They were not happy with Europeans bringing their lifestyle to Africa.
