White
man's burden
Posted by Pivvy on May 11, 2002
Where did the phrase "the white man's burden" come from? What
lays behind it in terms of history and philosophy? Why did "white men" feel this
sense of burden? Was it guilt for something done in the past, or something else?
(By the way, I'm a white man and I don't know at all what this feeling is.)
