In the poem "The Black Man's Burden," by Reverend H. T. Johnson, the speaker makes the following connection between colonized people everywhere and black people in the United States:
- Black people in the US and colonized people in other countries are all victims of imperialism, racism, and oppression. They are all subjugated by more powerful people, with better guns and excuses to kill and enslave.
The poem "The Black Man's Burden" was written by Reverend H. T. Johnson as a response to Rudyard Kipling's poem "The White Man's Burden."
Kipling's poem claims that it is the duty of white men to colonize and subjugate other people in order to improve those people's lives. He claims white people are bringing civilization to the world.
Johnson's poem responds to that claim with a sarcastic request. He asks white men to keep on oppressing black people.
He compares the colonization of people around to world to the plight of black people in the US, since they are all victims of the same injustice.
But, in the end, the speaker states that white men have no power against God, and that their actions will certainly be judged by Him.
