a historical ideal (sparked in the 1700s) held by SOME, not all, Europeans that they had a duty, rather a "burden", put on themselves to take care of all the other "inferior" races of the earth. This was often used as an excuse for racism, genocide, slavery, and imperialism.
Contrary to this idea is the Black man's burden which was to put up with the cruel treatment from the White man. However, seeing how both racial imperialism and slavery are over, neither the White man nor the Black man should be complaining about "burdens".

the white man's burden should be to support all the other races of the earth, and so should be the black man's burden.

Get the matt burden mug.The onus that has been put on the white man to drag the rest of the world into civilization while simultaneously being the most hated group on the planet.
It was the white man's burden to drag the African negro out of his mud hut clicking and screaming into the first world and look how we've been repaid.

Get the burden mug.1. A sexual position involving a threesome of semi-Cuban relatives, usually in the shape of a hexagon while playing Battle Grounds.
2. A word that means nothing, made up by a very sexually fustrated Bret Zaccaglin. Was made to rhyme with lyrics in Bret's emo band. Too bad it doesn't Ryhme with "How are you doing?"
