Explanation:

The white man's burden is that of teaching and civilizing the races who need help in doing such things. Trying to do that has not worked out well; indeed, what has happened is that the races that whites have tried to uplift to self-reliance at a higher, more civilized level, has instead resulted in those races being perpetually dependent upon whites for money, for food, for products and services that they can't provide for themselves. And, instead of gratitude, the help that the whites have given other races has inspired envy, resentment, and hatred. Why? I think that the reason was best articulated by former National Review columnist Joseph Sobran.

"The concept of envy – the hatred of the superior – has dropped out of our moral vocabulary. The idea that white Christian civilization is hated more for its virtues than its sins doesn't occur to us, because it's not a nice idea. Western man towers over the rest of the world in ways so large as to be almost inexpressible. It's Western exploration, science, and conquest that have revealed the world to itself. Other races feel like subjects of western power long after colonialism, imperialism and slavery have disappeared. The charge of racism puzzles whites who feel not hostility, but only baffled good will, because they don't grasp what it really means: humiliation. The white man presents an image of superiority even when he isn't conscious of it. Superiority excites envy. Destroying white civilization is the inmost desire of the league of designated victims we call 'minorities.'" —Joseph Sobran
