" The White Man's Burden"

The "white man's burden" is making the savages in Africa more civilized. The reason why is because they wanted to completely own Africa. He was really racist, so his ideas were blinded by his misconceptions of their race. I agree with the analysis because he was influenced by the Englishman's idea of a civilized colony. I think that America is still Imperialistic today because they are trying to take control of Iraq for peace. We are living "The White Man's Burden" because we are trying to make other people act, by forcing them to take on our own government and way of life.
