Raskholnikov wrote:In his most controversial poem, written at the end of the 19th Century, British Imperial Poet Rudyard Kipling wrote a poem entitled "The White Man's Burden", whose first stanza in particular still stirs strong emotions today:

"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."

The funniest part is that he wrote the poem to try to convince America to begin imperialist ideals. Imagine him sending something like to the President now a days. (Even if it weren't Obama).
