Answer:

He resents the white man for his disrespectful treatment of others.

Explanation:

In the poem "Song of the Wild Bushman" by Thomas Pringle, the bushman's views of the white men is shown through his refusal to be under their power or authority. He refused to be removed from his "bounds"where he is "lord of the Desert land". His firm disobedience to "crouch beneath the Christian's hand, and kennel with his hounds" shows his opinion of the white men as being disrespectful and dominating. He shows the white "Christian" men as encroaching in another man's land, un- welcomed but still exerting unnecessary power over others. He resents them for their disrespectful treatment of others.
