I Went to America in Africa (Welcome to Liberia)

[@astrofrk]

I have a friend from Liberia, a fellow bus driver. He is the one who saved my life when I had a brain aneurysm while driving. Hello from Tennessee.

[@paxafricanauniversitycolle4554]

Thanks Liberian are wonderful people.

[@GoneFishingAway]

Oh damn, how do you get the aneurysm and what was your experience during that episode?

[@astrofrk]

@@GoneFishingAway Mine came from an AVM in my brain (think of it as a malformed ball of veins and arteries) from when I was born. A bulge formed from the AVM and popped, hemorrhaging blood into my brain. I had flashes and passed out, face first on the sidewalk after I stopped the bus. I woke up in the ambulance and heard a paramedic say my heart had gone into fibrillation. I went to two different hospitals that night. If I hadn't been so close to good emergency services and my Liberian friend, I would be dead.

[@GoneFishingAway]

@@astrofrk Oh man that's is one hell of experience you went through. It really sucks that medical conditions can happen like that out of nowhere or that we're born with but keep up positive mind and be thankful to everyone that was besides you during that experience, especially your Liberian friend.

I've always been kind of curious about Liberia mostly because it was settled by former US slaves. In the United States we seem to hear so little about it compared to other African countries such as South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, etc. I don't remember being taught about it in my US history classes in 8th and 11th grade back in the the late 1960's and early 1970's. Being that the country was Founded by the United States, it seems to me it should be one of the most prosperous countries in all of Africa. In my opinion the United States all along should have been playing a bigger role in Liberia to help it prosper. I doubt Liberia is even on the radar as a tourist destination for most Americans who visit Africa. With it's link to the United States and location on the Atlantic Coast, it seems to me Liberia could easily be turned into a really nice tourist destination destination for Americans.

[@ashdav9980]

It’s 150+ years later, how many centuries will US taxpayers be expected to fund the rest of the world’s failures? Liberia has had many decades to improve their country….and somehow it’s still US responsibility to see them prosper. 🙄 Your comment is such an American narcissistic comment….that we should be involved around the world converting it into a mini America. Nope…. I think many of us are done with that.

I'm just happy to see a for once positive video about Liberia. Edit: I get that there are still some unfortunate things shown in the video, but what I mean is that at least it's trying to promote a positive image of Liberia. Aren't you guys sick of videos that give others the idea that Liberia is a cannibalistic country?? Sure, now so many people are going to say that Liberia "copied America's homework" after watching the video, but I'm at least grateful for the purpose of the video. I can safely say he was trying to put Liberia in a good light. Which is a lot to say after all the things that went on there. I'm not oblivious to the fact that things aren't well. But when there are people left and right telling me that the place I was born in is a shitty country, I'm going to want to find something to redeem that.

[@M_Julian_TSP]

@Loj32Learn history, it's not "always USA's fault", but you must admit that the colonizer institution is somehow systematically in charge of its colonization, common sense (spoiler, there are other colonizers throughout history). You clearly have no idea how Liberia was created. Right-wing american companies with the Wigh Party stole lands on these western African coasts from the indigenous people in order to cleanse the USA of newly freed Black People, exploit them in Africa and enslave the local people, all of that in an authoritarian segregationist state, this for more than a century and before a terrible ten years civil war. That is more of a "how to make chaos and barbarism sustainably rise in there" than a "I just wanted you to be civilised and progressive" story.

[@M_Julian_TSP]

@Loj32 Maybe you can inform me about political motivations of the American Colonization Society as you seem so aware? Firstly, I never said that black people were forced to move to Liberia, that’s ridiculous as only something like 20k people decided to move and most of them died in a matter of years (the american colonization of Africa project was such a failure that it has been stopped quickly). Then even though nobody was forced, the ACS told them that going back to Africa was the only way to bee actually free, as life would be like heaven there, compared to the highly segregationnist society in the USA at the era, the choice was easy even if it was just a bunch of lies. And finally this wasn’t even my point, concentrate please. Btw are you telling me Liberia is not influenced by the USA nowadays ? xD this must be a kind of a joke or something right, otherwise you just shate your brain dude. You know almost all wealth produced in Liberia belongs to Europe and USA right? Funny how the two only options for you is either : -Colonizing the world -Colonizing the world, making it a hell and then giving it admistrative independence even though 80% of the produce wealth still belongs to us. What could have been done better? Dunno like not considering every other human a serf and stop colonize and wage war all around the globe in order to enrich oneself might be a good approach

You really have to be more than naive to think than the US is heaven or any other country

[@davidfreeman3083]

@@franctokyo5981 Still refreshing to hear any country having such positive comments about the US of A. While pretty much everyone, including some of the USA's 'closest allies' hates the US, and there are so many negativity reported from within the US. I do think it's good that people in the first world do see and point out problems, but sometimes you still feel happy when you see such positiveness.

Speaking as an American, they don’t sound American. I’ve met several Liberians and sometimes their accents can be hard to understand depending on how thick their accent is.

[@LivingPrayingAndMedicine]

They somehow do especially when you compare their accents with other African countries I can hear it because I am not from America you guys can’t because you are used to the pure form

[@bf5175]

I think it is more that they don't have a British accent. In many parts of the world the default accent in English is the British accent.

no but they dont drop their r’s after vowels and they pronounce their r’s the same way we do instead of a tap or trill like in most african accents

[@JulianDuke14]

Dude! Liberia seems and looks awesome! Its almost identical to the U.S.A seeing as it was part of the U.S.A at one point of its history. And most people have if not all American descent at least partial American descent. It pretty much is the U.S.A in Africa (West Africa). Only differences are being independent and its own country and sovereign state, using pounds, along with using American currency, they also have their own Liberian currency, different national holidays I assume, and some people have different sounding accents compared to the majority of Liberians who sound like if they were from Georgia or so. Liberia is such a beautiful place! Much love, hope, and friendship from the U.S, specifically with and alone the Florida Peninsula.

[@JulianDuke14]

hithere Not true man, I researched and it said that it was colonized by the U.S and annexed into the country for a short time until becoming fully independent. It’s like the same with Yucatán Peninsula, in the year 1848, the Yucatán peninsula was an independent nation that Mexico and the U.S didn’t recognize and government officials from Yucatán traveled to Washington D.C to convince the U.S senate and government to annex The Yucatán as a state of the U.S with a flip of the coin decision from the senate that said no, the same situation with the Yucatán is what happened with Liberia as well.
