I never understood why Americo-Liberians treated Indigenous Liberians the way they did. Did they not learn from their ancestors?

[@jmWolfe2585]

Liberia and Israel share some pretty disturbing similarities, especially with regard to the colonial mindset.

The argument that blacks aren't capable of building a society is to an extent true but it stems from blacks being a lot less educated than whites which effectively doomed a lot of black countries to fail. Meanwhile Botswana which was first led by a more educated black man and didn't adopt more black people into government until education improved has seen a lot of success being the richest sub-saharan African country

Remember folks, people who don't learn from history will repeat the same mistake! You become the one you hate the most!

Can we all agree, if this guy takes a while to upload, it's gonna be a banger of a video that's coming

Liberia 🇱🇷 AKA the Israel 🇮🇱 of Africa

[@jamesbackstar8285]

This is Literally just Israel if you replaced the UK with the US

Many prior colonies struggle with racism within dark skinned groups. For example between several different tones of dark skin or creole/native differences in history. Very noticable in Suriname which used to be Dutch untill 1975 which has a very multicultural demographic with many different groups settling since the late 1800's whichis quite long for something like that. Always tensions between Hindu's, Javanese, Chinese, Creole, Native, Marron-relatives, whites, Jews, and surprising lot of Lebanese.

Greenville is the most American city name, so I wasn't surprised to learn there's a Greenville, Liberia.

[@xXxSkyViperxXx]

it's ironic that former poor slaves who were sold off now with freed descendants come back to africa richer and oppress the poorer natives

[@Kasubaz]

Finally someone remembers Liberia

[@itz_richard]

Truthfully, Liberia wasn’t ever that American. The Americo-Liberians were a really small elite, making up only a few hundred families who held an iron grip on the government and national economy, leaving the native majority to suffer.

You should do a video on how Argentina had a chance to be a superpower but ultimately fell short.
