Q: What is the relationship between Social Darwinism, the Colonized other and the White Mans Burden?*
A: white man's burden is just that: That the white man is here to help all other races out. It is their duty to direct and help other races.

Much has changed since I covered the first day of Charles Taylor's trial for Pambazuka News on June 4, 2007. That day, he failed to show up to court, calling the case against him a "farce."
Today, he was in full view, stoic, resolute and somber. As I sat in the public gallery of the Special Tribunal for Sierra Leone at The Hague, peering at the man portrayed as the most notorious African warlord in contemporary history, Taylor's fate was solidified by one word: "GUILTY."
After nearly nine years in limbo, Taylor was convicted today on all 11 counts of crimes against humanity and violation of international and Sierra Leonean law in that country's civil war spanning November 1996 to January 2002. Taylor is the first head of state -- and the first African -- to be convicted by an international tribunal since the Nuremburg trials of 1946. The UN backed Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL) was mandated in 2002 to try those who bear the greatest responsibility for the war that destabilised much of West Africa and stunted economic/political activity. Taylor's trial is the last one.
What attitude does it have towards imperialism?
is white mans burden and manifest destiny the same thing?
