Rudyard Kipling's poem in support of US President McKinley's 1898 intervention in the Phillipines, The White Man's Burden, expresses his thoughts on the duty of civilised white men to look after those unfortunate people who are not like themselves.
Henry Labouchère's poetic response The Brown Man's Burden, describes the consequences of their foreign interventions, from the perspective of those unfortunate people.
James Dallas Bowser then responds, in Taking the Black Man's Burden, with the domestic consequences from the perspective of those unfortunate people, and their descendants, in their new home country.
