@qwer thoughts?
opinions?

@Premeditated are you Vai?

I’m understanding this as the dynamics before the Americo-Liberian’s occupation. How did these dynamics relate to/play a part in the Americo-Liberian’s occupation between 1878-1980?

Great question, here's how:
(repatriates actually started arriving in the 1820s, as stated)
Virginia Emigrants to Liberia

Abolishing slavery, making power plays against actual white occupiers, lining them up, and putting in work
The entire timeline and lead up is important, let's not move up any dates to absolve certain parties, and magnify others.

The Americo-Liberians are an indictment on black Americans and are an example of what would happen if black Americans ever gained power.

Many of those Americo-Liberians had ties to colonial black elite families who were the first proponents of the Back to Africa movement. They simply took their American snobberies, that they were practicing against other black Americans, with them.

Which is why I laugh when ADOS makes it seem like these diaspora wars are one-sided against them. Because coming from an upper middle class black family, I know first hand the prejudices middle class black americana had against ‘primitives’ - how my own family referenced Africans and how they went out of their way to distance themselves from and snuff out anything that was remotely African about themselves.

I’m Liberian. Born here.

Dudes used to hide the fact they were foreign because you would get picked on just off the strength of that.

I always just chalk a lot of it to dudes who aren’t from major cities out of the Northeast aren’t too familiar with dealing with so many different cultures.

nikka tried to be funny "I'm made up of several mende tribes". You weren't clear about which one for a reason.
Trying to reverse things and scam - that's how y'all get down.
I'm gonna be cool before the coli's african strongman dictator decides to give me a "30 day break" like other people who go against y'all narrative.

People tended to leave Liberians alone, and y'all are more spread out than you think.
It's not because you're tough. It's not because you stick together - y'all tend to get into bullshyt and "assimilate" into bullshyt faster than any other groups - to blend in.
Nobody knows the difference when the cops come.
Y'all not loud about your presence like nigerians. Let's not start crying about alleged bootyscratcher names.
I notice people forget about their inter-tribal and country rivalries on here.
Like the Bahamians and Jamaicans who were shytting on Haitians in NYC/Miami.
Somehow the blame gets placed on ADOS.
Whole projects full of Liberians in Staten Island, no bytching.
"Coli edition" liberian: "nikkas clowned me in school for being african, in new jersey"
