Im a African American and we is owed Reparations. And Liberia was colonized by the U.S. Tell all Liberians people to go to the United Nations and demand reparations. Liberian people is owed trillions of dollars. You have to demand it ok. We are the same people. African Americans and Liberia people. Join Forces with us and let my fellow African Americans. Help build a better Liberia. We have the skills in America. My people built America during slavery. We African Americans are demanding reparations. Please you have to believe me. Do your research and join us on the fight for reparations. Ghana is calling for us to come there. But we African Americans needs our own land. Tell the Liberian people lets get reparations together. And allow us to come there peacefully and help run Liberia. That's our home land too. We want in on Ghana and LIberia. We are African people too. We love our African Diaspora people. Please pass this message all over to a million Liberians. Love Always✊ #Reparations $50 trillions for African Americans and Liberians together. We would come back home to Ghana and Liberia. Our Ancestors was taken from the continent. We are not your enemies ok. #JoinForces #BuildTogether #LiveTogether✊

[@Jane-yg3vz]

@@flyyceethemilitant2946 Soldier Didn't you watch the earlier videos? Liberia was founded by former slave but they enslaved the local population. Maybe they can use their reparations to pay the reparations they owe. Slavery was thriving way before the Europeans showed up. All people from every part of the world at some point have been both slaves and slave traders, so how do we figure out who owes who money? You really expect to receive land if you go to Africa when most people there don't have land? Be grateful you're not living in third conditions like these people. If this guy could pull himself out of poverty in Liberia through hard work, what is your excuse as an American? Waiting for free money that will never come isn't going to make your life better.

​@@ronaldstilting I've been there also, it can be scary if you're used to living in a first world country and go there not knowing what to expect, hearing only about the war stories. Obviously it is no longer a war zone, but it still feels the effects of the war - the crime rate is very high, police don't really do their job unless you're very rich, human rights are almost nonexistent, medical practice is abysmal and people die in hospital all the time from preventable things. It's pretty terrible. Hopefully it can get better because many good people live there.

She save my sister and I life by walking from Liberia to Sierra Leone 3 and a half weeks walking all day going through many different rebel check points.

[@KanuBiahmusic]

@ Pleasant Green Let me stop you at the 2:50 point. Liberia was not founded by free black slaves from America. Instead, some of the Free black slave from America settled in Liberia. There was Villages and Towns there. The name "Liberia" might have been named by the free black slave from America but the country was not founded by the free black slave from America. You saying that Liberia was founded by the free black slave from America is like me telling you that the United States was found by Christopher Columbus. ( is that true?) Christopher Columbus discovered that this land that is now known as the U.S existed while he was on his quest, but it was not founded by Mr. Columbus. With that facts.... let us continue with the video. And yes, I am a Liberian! .... Facts check #2: 3:19. The Civil war in Liberia did not last for 24+ years. The first civil war started 1989- 1996. Second war started 1999 - 2003. 7+4 does not equal 24+ years.
