    As a response to Kipling's poem "The White Man's Burden: The United States and The Philippine Islands; " African-American clergyman and editor H. T. Johnson wrote and published in April 1899 "The Black Man's Burden" arguing that mistreatment of brown people in the Philippines was a reflection of the mistreatment of black Americans at home, as stronger countries abuse their power to conquer weaker/less developed countries as it is clear in that part of the poem below.

    "Hail ye your fearless armies,

    Which menace feeble folks

    Who fight with clubs and arrows

    and brook your rifle's smoke".
