Read the following quote:

“The White Man’s Burden,” New York Age, T. Thomas Fortune, editor (April
1899)

“Nobody has asked the white races to rob and enslave the black and yellow races of the
earth. The burden, if such it be, was assumed voluntarily and without the consent and
desire of the victims, who preferred and still prefer their land and liberty and freedom
from the tyranny of white men. They do not thank them for the assumption of the
alleged burden and the alleged sacrifices. From Warren Hastings and Lord Clive in India
to Cecil Rhodes in South Africa, the despoiled native has hated his despoiler and groaned
under the load of foreign rule and taxation forced upon him.”
