The White Mans Burden article was shown as pro imperialism and Social Darwinism and the Black Mans Burden is shown as anti imperialism and social darwinism.

The white mans burden is pro imperialism because it is taking a noble ability to "help and take" the minorities towards civilization. the white man feels an obligation to do so. It is Social Darwinism because the white man sees himself as the best race there is, and says that it is doing "The Minorities" a favor and helping them.

The Black mans burden is anti imperialism because they say that because they are the "Tropical" black person, they are able to survive and flourish in the African environment, without having the white man coming in and imposing a different rule. They are fine with what they have and what they are doing with their lives, unlike what the white man wants them to do. It is anti social darwinism because the black man is saying that the white man is dependent upon Africa, which gives the white man a sense of low identity, compared to the black man.
