Always funny how racists will try to make Liberia into this failure of Black nation building meanwhile it was the exact opposite
Liberia’s decline only happened after Western intervention and coups backed by the United States, so yes… I can blame white people for this
🇱🇷 Liberia was one of two African countries never colonised
Today, the beaches of its capital Monrovia are covered in human feces and used as public dumping grounds, with the city having hardly any waste management services
Please explain to me how this is White people's fault
@shaunking
Nah.... I usually support you but it seemed like you were using his death to push for your book. You could’ve held off on the email or just avoided adding his name to it..
I was born in Africa. So was my father, and his father, and his father, and his father….since 1670.
I am a white farmer. Do I have the right to own farmland and call myself a South African or not?
@shawngorlando
Honestly... people are angrier at racism being removed from a theme park than they are at actual people being killed by racism. Disgusting.
Where are the photos of the no natives allowed signs in Liberia?
What are the laws of Liberia that this apartheid consisted of?
What made the natives second class citizens?
When did Liberia support Israel under this apartheid if they’re so similar?
@joysofsurvival
Also afro Americans were colonisers. They literally created a black Israel in Liberia and made the indigenous people there second class citizens under apartheid

@ABC
Was slavery and the mistreatment of Africans Americans in the United States terrible? Yes, of course, but I don’t this is the ideal time to talk about it.
re: the subway shooting
so a black man was arguing with a non-black latino couple about migrants beating up cops?
the men square up.
BM gets stabbed.
he pulls out a gun.
then is shot w/ it.
then the same cops he was defending show up to handcuff his lifeless body?

@TrumpScotland
team! Minutes ago, we received full & total approval for a new phase of development to include 500 homes, 50 cottages, sports center, retail & more. We also received approval to build a 2nd golf course! Very proud of them!
Black Liberians “sucked up to white people”
by banning white people from having citizenship
by fighting wars against slave traders
by fighting the British and French to prevent European suppression of natives
and they were racist… to their own people ??
@HarisCountrys
To be fair, Liberia was settled of freed black folk who heavily assimilated and kind of sucked up to white people. It was basically just Israel for black people, complete with war crimes and racism. However, like most black institutions in the US, it wasn't well funded.
Black Americans and their descendants oppressed the indigenous people of Liberia for almost 200 years. We know all too well that settler colonialism will bring the evil out of anybody, even a people who just escaped slavery.
People say Liberians enslaved the natives, we expose their lies and challenge them to prove it
Their proof is always, without fail, this image of a black family in Dahomey
Because every black person is the same to them
European powers did the same by accusing Liberia of slavery in 1932.
Their goal? Turn Liberia into a Polish colony to exploit our resources.
Like many other lies , the lie about Liberia’s “slavery” comes from Europeans attempting to steal from Africa, again.
The British Navy that supposedly stopped the slave trade in West Africa was, in actuality, an extortion racket. They mostly went around randomly accusing coastal African leaders & merchants of slave trading so they could confiscate & auction of the property & pocket the money.
Yeah I’m a Liberian descended from both native Liberians and settlers. You, a white woman, knows more than me, my Liberian family that lived there before me, and other Liberians. 🤣
“Native Liberians were treated as equal”
Lol for fuck’s sake. Go sell that shit to somebody who’s buying and can’t read the Wikipedia article on Liberian history.
the ppl in South River saying “all cops aren’t bad” are the same ones who’ve never experienced racism in their life. i get you’re trying to make a point but now isn’t the time. please be quiet 💛
This is from 1988, after Liberia’s coup, written by a US colonel btw
People refuse to acknowledge that Liberia was known as a developed and safe nation before the US funded civil war
Black people are more than capable of creating and maintaining a country
> Liberia was never a settler colonial society
> The natives were never oppressed, esp never “brutally oppressed”
> Land owned by the immigrants to Liberia was purchased from natives, never stolen
> Liberia’s constitution protected natives & outlawed slavery
@LoufactsIGB
a tribe can’t keep someone from claiming their ethnicity
being accepted into the tribal group depends on the specific society, some would accept diaspora and some wouldn’t
@realDonaldTrump
People are getting tired of you. You’re the reason why we have over 80,000 Americans dead from a virus that could’ve been better contained.
Liberia is not a settler colonial project, there were no genocides that took place in Liberia, there was no goal to replace the natives, and the native Liberians were treated as equal as the people that settled there.
white liberals really need to stop speaking on Liberia like they understand our history 🤦🏾♂️
liberia was far from a “militarized ethnostate” & wtf does Charles Taylor have to do with Liberia’s founding 😭😭
For the folks who wondered, Black Americans *did* get their own militarized ethnostate in the first half of the 19th Century and it caused a lot of trouble for Indigenous West Africans. Maybe you have heard of Charles Taylor?
Africans had advanced nations and societies way before europeans arrived
Both Zimbabwe and South Africa’s economies exploded after apartheid ended in those countries
Stop acting like white people saved Africa, the exact opposite is true
@ajplus
This entire situation is messed up... strip searching 12 year olds?? The reason... because they were acting “hyper” ??? Leave our children alone.
people in europe and the US really need to stop adopting kids from third world countries, especially when they vote for the politicians that kill their parents
“can i adopt them?):” FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU
