Racist Motives?

  Kipling explains African Imperialism as a mission
  from God to spread Christianity and other Western
  beliefs

Criticism

• The books Heart of Darkness (written by a
  European) and Things Fall Apart (written by an
  African) both criticize the White Mans Burden
  by saying the explorers did not care about
  helping Africans at all but about exploiting them
  to get rich
