The poem the white man’s burden is written in 1899 by Rudyard Kipling. The poem talks about the burden that has fallen on white men. The white men think that they have been given an awful burden to rule.
In the first stanza, the speaker tries to get the reader to listen. Take up the White Man's Burden”. It's clear there is some job or responsibility that the speaker is trying to engage someone else is.
He tells the listener to "Send for the best yet breed," or your best sons, for the job. So far, all that's clear is that there is a burden, a heavy task of some kind, that is related to white men, that needs to be completed.
If you notice it in the poem, there are no other races than white men. All the best goes to the whites. There are no other races, the speaker suggests, that would fall into this category. The men should be sent away to do service for the “captives”.
In the poem, the phrase "Take up the white man's burden" is repeated, where there are also participants about how to act.
they should, in contrast to the minority the speaker is discriminating against, act patient.
