All/majority Liberians speak english, majority of the people who dont are much older and their generations are dying out.

Not sure why I've been quoted. I said all were wrong except for the fact that it's a majority english-speaking country. :dahell:

they were c00ns because they just escaped Slavery only to come and Oppress another people who share the same ancestors. None of your examples can even compare as none of those groups were in a situation like the Trans Atlantic slave trade.

Literally within the same 100 years of Liberia being Created, indigenous people were still being captured as Slaves and being sent to the Western world. Its not like Slavery had been over for 300 yrs prior.

My Moms elementary school was literally next to a Slave Port for Christ Sakes lol if that aint c00ning I dont know what to tell you.

We won't agree.

And Once again, the issue at hand is West African nations should form some kind of program to allow investment and partnerships with Western Blacks, more so than just open their doors so people can set up shop. We need emphasis on Nation Building and not just safe havens so Blacks can hide from whites, because all that will do is create an environment for another Civil War type situation with an outside entity popping off a make believe conflict to destabilize the nations.

For example Ben Amin and his Black Hebrew Israelites movement had settled in Liberia in I think the 60s or 70s and were welcomed with open arms.

Agreed

So the AA's that colonized Liberia were basically on that

:mjpls:

status, and pushed Americanized White Supremacist Mores on the previously existing groups?

Yup, pretty much.

There's some weird stuff on the net that Africans hate AAs and use Liberia as an example. Which is completely false. The Americo-Liberians ended up colonizing the land and shutting out the natives from the power structure (in their own land, btw) for decades, until Tolbert decided to reverse the trend slowly. However, by then it was too late, as western influences were able to stir up long standing (and somewhat logical) beefs the natives had with the power structure. Thus the long civil wars.

Yup, It was too the point where younger Indigenous people got on some Self Hate stuff and started to give themselves American names, and wouldn't even learn their native tongue in order to be "Qui" aka "Civilized", it`s wild. This also allowed Missionaries to come in much easier in the 50s-70s and get closer to the Indigenous people, as the Natives began to think the White Mans religion was sweeter and it would make them more Civilized like their Americo Liberian counterparts. Like now Most Liberians now are on some Southern Black Christian steeze, and can't even tell you a damn thing about their tribes history.

If I`m not mistaken Liberia was one of the First West African Countries with an International Airport
