Burden is a burden

Throughout the poem "The White Man's Burden" by Rudyard Kipling the speaker is calling the white man to arms. Not physical arms, but to take on his share of burden. He calls for future generations to be looked at with a sort of exile and referenced white folks as a breed. It seems as though there is a distaste left with the speaker, which is perfect because white mans burden is a left over response to the mistreatment of others by white people in this country in the past. The speaker is portraying one of these mistreated individuals and almost appears to be taunting the "burden" onto the white man. The speaker calls white children half devil and claims that white's will seek others profit and gain. All in all, this could be looked at as a toast or even a curse. Likewise, "Black Man's Burden" by Hubert Harrison has its  own mocking tune. Written as a response to Kipling's poem, It could be calling Kipling out for boasting too loudly and not being entirely politically correct. It seems to point out the equalities of misjudgment from each race at large and the generalizations that are made and skipped over depending on which defense or act of aggression is being made and by whom. My question to the class or another reader would be, do either of these poems tell the whole story? If so why, if not how come?
