Healthy for White "Gentile" Americans:
Rudyard Kipling
"The White Man's Burden"
1899
21 July 1999
Dear Friends and Allies:
The term "White Man's Burden" has been used by anti-Whites to "prove" the evil exploitation of non-Whites by White "Gentiles". "White Man's Burden" is the title of a poem by Rudyard Kipling. After reading the poem many times, I wonder how the anti-Whites can miss Kipling's warning of the horrendous price paid when dealing with non-Whites. Apparently the term "White Man's Burden" has been so useful that the words of the poem have been ignored.
Even the Library of Congress has this description:
"White man's burden. Public Note: The supposed duty of white people to manage the affairs of non-white people. Originated (1899) by Rudyard Kipling. Related Term(s): Colonies. Imperialism. Prejudice. Race discrimination."
Since the term is used against us, I believe that White "Gentile" Americans must know the poem and the complexity of the situation that inspired it. White "Gentile" homeschoolers especially need to teach their children what they will be attacked with.
The cycle of "caring" becoming having to "care for" with the blood money of White taxpayers is a lesson learned over and over. When the governments of White nations "care for" other races, eventually Whites who never benefitted from supposed economic imperialism will be blamed for everything wrong in the lives of the other races. If enough of us understand the dynamics of interracial endeavors and the all too predictable outcomes, perhaps we can finally free ourselves from the burdens we always end up carrying.
Rudyard Kipling wrote "The White Man's Burden" in 1899 as the government of the U.S.A. was involved in the war against Spain. Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Phillipines were theatres of action. All became burdens to the U.S.A. taxpayer.
To refresh your memory, an abbreviated version of the chronology of the Spanish-American War follows.
As preface, please note that whenever I do research, I look for the oldest available source of information as the anti-White "Gentile" propaganda in many contemporary reference books is grotesque.
The prelude to the Spanish-American War was The Ten Years War (1868-1878) in Cuba, the chief object of which was the liberation of Cubans from Spanish rule. There were bloody losses on both sides.
From _The Columbia Encyclopedia_ (Second Edition, 1950):
"In 1895, a new revolution broke out...which succeeded in tying up industry and commerce on the island (of Cuba). In retaliation Spanish officials ordered all the rural population herded into the garrisoned towns, where, without adequate food or shelter, many died. This shocked many in the United States to deeper sympathy for the rebellious seekers of freedom. The U.S. Government was also moved by the heavy losses of American investments in Cuba..."
Apparently, the herded Cubans were called reconcentrados.
From _A History of the Nineteenth Century Year by Year_ by Edwin Emerson, Jr. , ©1900:
"The attitude of the rebels toward Spain was clearly shown in December (1897), when Colonel Ruiz, General Bianco's aide-de-camp, who had been sent to make peace proposals to the Cuban insurgents, on the basis of autonomy, was shot by order of the insurgent chief Myia Rodriguez, together with several insurgents who were ready to treat with the Spanish leader."
Again from _The Columbia Encyclopedia_ (Second Edition, 1950): The U.S. Battleship, the Maine, became
"the center of a serious international incident in 1898. Cuba was in a state of unrest and revolutionary turmoil, and the American consul general, Fitzhugh Lee, asked for protection of American nationals and property. The Maine was sent under command of Capt. Charles D. Sigsbee, arriving at Havana harbor Jan. 25, 1898. On the evening of Feb. 15, a mysterious explosion occurred, and the Maine sank, with a loss of 260 men. An outcry resulted. The cause of the explosion was never satisfactorily explained. A U.S. naval inquiry, headed by W.T. Sampson, reported on March 21 that the Maine had been sunk by a submarine mine but that reponsibility could not be fixed on any person. A Spanish naval inqury reported (March 22) that the disaster was an accident, resulting from an explosion in the forward magazine. Whatever the truth of the matter, the enraged American public considered the Spanish to blame. 'Remember the Maine' became a catchword that fed American patriotism in the Spanish-American War."
On April 20, 1898, both Houses of Congress passed joint war resolutions. In May of 1898, Comodore Dewey engaged with the Spanish Fleet in the Battle of Manila. Uncertainty regarding the movements of the Spanish fleet had delayed invasion of Cuba although food and supplies were landed for the use of the Cuban insurgents. By August of 1898, the Spanish colonies became the burden of the taxpayers of the United States of America. In the formal peace treaty of 1899, the U.S.A. paid Spain $20 million. The American Senate passed a resolution that the Philippines were not annexed, but were protected until the Filipinos could govern themselves.
The Filipinos thereupon tried to burn the city of Manila and massacre all foreigners. Having vanquished the Spanish, the Americans were forced to fight in the Phillipines.
In February, 1899, "The White Man's Burden" was published in McClure's Magazine.
Paul Fromm was kind enough to send me the text of the poem. I had also seen it on the website "Politically Incorrect". In order to verify the wording, I searched for over a year for a hard copy version of the poem. I finally found it in _Kipling: A Selection of His Stories and Poems_ by John Beecroft.
Apparently, there are two versions of the poem that have been circulated and published. The differences that I have noticed are:
"No tawdry rule of kings" instead of "No iron rule of kings"
"The cry of hosts ye humour" instead of "The cry of those ye humour"
"By all ye cry or whisper" instead of "By all ye will or whisper"
At this time, I have not seen an original copy of the McClure's magazine and cannot vouch for the accuracy of either version.
I have included relevant illustrations, again from old sources and links for more information about "The White Man's Burden" and the Spanish-American War. Mental muck boots may be in order. Some of the anti-White material is sad, indeed. The saddest are the pieces written by determined-to-commit-racial suicide/deracinated/self-loathing White "Gentile" race traitors.

"The White Man's Burden"
1899
Take up the White Man's burden--
Send forth the best ye breed--
Go, bind your sons to exile
To serve your captives' need;
To wait, in heavy harness,
On fluttered folk and wild--
Your new-caught sullen peoples,
Half devil and half child.
Take up the White Man's burden--
In patience to abide,
To veil the threat of terror
And check the show of pride;
By open speech and simple,
An hundred times made plain,
To seek another's profit
And work another's gain.
Take up the White Man's burden--
The savage wars of peace--
Fill full the mouth of Famine,
And bid the sickness cease;
And when your goal is nearest
(The end for others sought)
Watch sloth and heathen folly
Bring all your hope to nought.
Take up the White Man's burden--
No iron rule of kings,
But toil of serf and sweeper--
The tale of common things.
The ports ye shall not enter,
The roads ye shall not tread,
Go, make them with your living
And mark them with your dead.
Take up the White Man's burden,
And reap his old reward--
The blame of those ye better
The hate of those ye guard--
The cry of hosts ye humour
(Ah, slowly!) toward the light:--
"Why brought ye us from bondage,
Our loved Egyptian night?"
Take up the White Man's burden--
Ye dare not stoop to less--
Nor call too loud on Freedom
To cloak your weariness.
By all ye will or whisper,
By all ye leave or do,
The silent sullen peoples
Shall weigh your God and you.
Take up the White Man's burden!
Have done with childish days--
The lightly-proffered laurel,
The easy ungrudged praise:
Comes now, to search your manhood
Through all the thankless years,
Cold, edged with dear-bought wisdom,
The judgment of your peers.

A very extensive site that includes "The White Man's Burden" is BoondocksNet.com: "Boondocks, n., hinterland, remote and underdeveloped area. From Tagalog bundok, meaning mountain..." From the not-White name, you may guess the underlying bias of this site. Anti-Imperialism is the major theme.
The author of the site, Jim Zwick, has pulled together extensive contemporaneous essays, photos and illustrations from the time of the Spanish-American War. He says "The White Man's Burden" is "Rudyard Kipling's classic exhortation to empire". I have yet to see proof that Kipling meant the poem to be an "exhortation to empire". Despite Zwick's politically correct orientation, there are some Pro-White gems in the speeches and essays. He probably includes them to show how nasty White people are. I rejoice in seeing the clear thinking that many White people were unafraid to share.

"The
White Man's Burden" as Prophecy By Benjamin R. Tillman. Extract from
a speech delivered in the U.S. Senate, Feb. 7, 1899.
www.boondocksnet.com/kipling/tillman.html
Excerpt: "I intend to read more, but I wish to call attention to a fact which may have escaped the attention of Senators thus far, that with five exceptions every man in this chamber who has had to do with the colored race in this country voted against the ratification of the treaty. It was not because we are Democrats, but because we understand and realize what it is to have two races side by side that can not mix or mingle without deterioration and injury to both and the ultimate destruction of the civilization of the higher. We of the South have borne this white man's burden of a colored race in our midst since their emancipation and before.
It was a burden upon our manhood and our ideas of liberty before they were emancipated. It is still a burden, although they have been granted the franchise. It clings to us like the shirt of Nessus, and we are not responsible, because we inherited it, and your fathers as well as ours are responsible for the presence amongst us of that people. Why do we as a people want to incorporate into our citizenship ten millions more of different or of differing races, three or four of them?..." (emphasis mine)
The White
Man's Burden: Editorial from the San Francisco Bulletin (Feb. 7, 1899).
www.boondocksnet.com/kipling/sfbulletin.html
Excerpt: "When Mr. Kipling calls upon the white man to "send forth the best ye breed," he raises the question if the wealth gained in "serving your captives' need" is compensation for the best blood of a nation. Is the result commensurate with the cost of the service? Experience shows that the inferior races cannot be lifted out of their level. In time they may grow out of it, but even in torrid zones nature abhors the forcing process.
The English in India have maintained their supremacy by carefully abstaining from interference with the religion or the customs of the natives. So long as they can control Indian finances they are content that Indian civilization should have its own way.
Mr Kipling's verses are interpreted in some quarters as an appeal to the United States to join Great Britain in carrying the burden Great Britain has taken upon her shoulders. A good many Americans preach the doctrine that it is the white man's duty to force his civilization upon peoples who inconsiderately, if not wantonly, enjoy themselves under a lower grade of civilization. The increase of the army from 25,000 to 100,000 men is urged on the ground that these soldiers, stationed in fever-stricken countries, will be agents of civilization. The commanding general in Cuba reports that 50 percent of the American troops on the island are on the sick list. These men are the best we breed. Each man is the pick of three. They are sent to exile by a high sense of duty. Some of them will find hospitable graves in Cuba, others will return with broken constitutions. The "best ye breed," if doomed to exile, will not reproduce themselves. The poison of the tropical climate will infuse itself in their blood. Such is the sacrifice which the extending of high civilization requires." (emphasis mine)
The White Man's
Burden By David Starr Jordan. Excerpt from "A Blind Man's Holiday,"
Imperial Democracy (New York: D. Appleton and Co., 1899).
www.boondocksnet.com/kipling/jordan.html
Excerpt: "...No nation can grow in strength when its bravest and best are each year devoured by the army. This has gone on in southern Europe for a thousand years.
"War's great purpose," says Edward Markwick, "is the fostering of strength, not physical strength alone, but the combination of moral, intellectual and physical strength." But the actual effect of war is exactly the reverse of this. Its call is ever in Kipling's words, "Send forth the best ye breed." And the best never return. With the selection of the best for exile and destruction the standard of the race at home inevitably declines. This is the story of the failure of the Latin races. It is at least a warning to all others." (emphasis mine)

It is refreshing to see the Spanish take some heat after all the
current pandering to Hispanics. The "African-American" contribution
is highlighted--No Surprise There!
For some detailed purple prose anti-White "Gentile" writing, you may want to visit the Southeast Asia Images and Text Project digital archives, apparently created at the University of Wisconsin-Madison with tax monies. A "Dr." Alfred W. McCoy has written "Orientalism of the Philippine Photograph: America Discovers the Philippine Islands" (www.library.wisc.edu/etext/seait/instruct.html). Some excerpts to give you a flavor of what tax money and a self-loathing deracinated White man can do (of course, he may not be White!--or he may not be a White "Gentile"...):
"Lesser Breeds": America Encounters Filipino Hill Tribes
From 1899-1901, the United States suffered 10,000 casualties and spent $600 million to conquer a Philippine Republic that was stubbornly determined to win its independence...By its very nature, photography emphasizes physical appearance as it translates reality for an audience. The images shown here illustrate how American photographers pushed such superficialities to their limit by posing subjects in ways that deliberately stressed differences in dress, skin color, and body size. White, tall, and fully clothed Americans posed next to brown, short, and semi-naked Philippine tribals. As illustrated by the photo of "deformed feet," photography even allowed Americans disassemble the Filipino body and gawk at its parts...In most photographs of this genre, the Filipino tribals usually appear in poses that make them seem subordinated to Americans. In contrast with masterful, immaculately attired Americans, the tribals are often posed to seem half-naked, timid, and awkward to the point of ignorance. Significantly, elsewhere in this exhibit peoples of these same tribes project a calm confidence and erect bearing when allowed to pose on their own...(etc. etc. ad nauseum)" (emphasis mine)
