The White Man's Burden- response

This reading mainly responding to the "White man" going to africa and using there resources and hurting the people along the way. In this response the writer is clearly saying that the Africans were exhausted and all resources were being used against there will as well as being treated badly. As the reading says the Africans lived savage lives and always lived on dull routines. The white man always had more weapons and other tactics of taking what they wanted and the Africans were powerless. As it say's at the end " To kill the soul in a people- this is a crime  which transcends physical murder". In my opinion this is true as the white men took everything and left the Africans helpless.
