I think that the white man's burden was not a racial statement that

that because the non-whites were incapable of ruling themselves the
white man was burdened with the task himself. It might have helped a
bit if the Brits had done more to educate and empower the local
populations such that they could rule themselves to the standard that
the white man expected and if we had not so desperately tried to hold
on to overseas possessions after WW2.

Rulers still think they have this burden to rule us. They are
addicted to this power, so maybe it is a burden similar to that of
those addicted towards other substances.
