What do I need to say to convince everyone we need to try it again? By force.
I'd like to know more about how early Liberian society worked. For instance, how well/poorly were the native black population treated by their 'civilized' black overlords?
Most of the Amerinagger ruling class were freemasons so native Liberians are some of the most viscerally anti-mason people in the world today
Not very well. The leaders of the returnees were relatively well educated and inspired by the enlightenment ideals of the time.
Unfortunately, they were dumped in a jungle with sort of hostile natives who didn't invite them or ask for their leadership, and a core of illiterate former slave labourers.
Liberia's status today should tell you how well it worked out. The elite, if they can be called that, bred amongst themselves for 150 years, while the locals and other dumb former slaves duked it out.
>hostile natives who didn't invite them or ask for their leadership
Like they didn't asked for your "civilization" when you came to Africa?
obviously. that's the point.
Bull, this board sees it as good thing but yet bad when we do. We both agree that your presence have been a disaster.
there are many anons here, I am not American.
Liberia is a shit hole because it's governance is corrupt and short-sighted, it's people uneducated, and it's also in a bad neighbourhood. Africans just can't get their shit together.
>Liberia is a shit hole because it's governance is corrupt and short-sighted
Has nothing to do with Americo-Liberians all Natives.
Any attempt of some semblance of stability Whites will destroy it and then blame us for what they did. Like Grenada, Faso, Libya even the Congo.
Africans can get their shit together when they get rid of tribal differences, religion and cut all relations with NATO, EU states.
You can even include all of central america to. Who remembers the banana wars
I know and Asia and even Russia and Yugoslavia, I just specified Africa cause it's an African thread.
>and a core of illiterate former slave labourers.
This isn't true
Yes but it should've been mandatory nor voluntary
Yes, the mistake was making it so small, not sending all African-Americans to the colony and not have said colonists genocide the existing natives.
It is a good experiment in revealing the true nature of mankind. Racism is a fool's game, and any oppressed minority would do the very same as their oppressor if they had the opportunity.
I mean, I get that this is the go-to way to hate Africans, but it's only 80 years ago whites stopped the endless slaughter of each other that had started from the Reformation at the latest. If being bloodthirsty retards is what qualifies you as subhuman, then Europeans win by a large margin.
We're not bloodthirsty, we're just good at war.
naggers are bloodthirst and really REALLY bad at war
>we're just good at war
>*freezes to death trying to invade a country three times your size*
One fat white guy with a Mi 24 ended the entire rebel faction in Sierra Leone
>it's different because I hate naggers
Europe = purposeful violence
naggers = mindless violence
WWI was pretty mindless.
>kill each other for 2,000 years over some israeli preacher that got ACK'd
you clearly don't know what Liberia and it's neighbours have gone through. It's a much more truly barberous form of violence.
Anyway, Asians are the most bloodthirsty by body count. Mao and his buddies, Stalin (a caucasus mountain ogre), Lenin (a mongrel russo-mongol), Tojo, Geghis Khan, Taiping and various Chinese civil wars, etc.
A large part of why Liberia is a shithole is because it was just another settler-colonialist colony that used the locals as slaves, just with African-Americans as the ruling class instead of Europeans.
No
Slavery was not unusual in that part of the world at the time. In fact, it was more common than not in most places in the world at the time.
It's a shithole for many other reasons, too.
>He ignores the coup that cause pic rel
I have a copypasta from one Liberian shill on /misc/ that explains it perfectly.
"African-Americans did not, in any capacity ruin Liberia, nor are the to blame for the shithole-tier state Liberia is currently in today.
The reason why Liberia is poor is because of a lack of African-American immigration, hostile and mentally retarded natives, and US involvement in both of Liberia's two civil wars and coups.
Under President Tubman, and later, Tolbert, the young nation of Liberia experienced peak economic growth and development. To quote one study by the name of "the Open Door Policy, Economic History of Liberia", "The author has analyzed the capacity of the Government of Africa’s oldest republic to effectively deal with the foreign investors it had invited and to supervise the resulting investments. Furthermore, the financial contribution of foreign companies to the Liberian Treasury and the use of these financial means by the Liberian Government have been analyzed. The consequences for the Liberian economy and society of the activities of foreign investors have also been studied.
Liberia’s foreign investments boom was at its zenith during the 1960s. As a result, the economy grew spectacularly and with a two-digit rate the country even shortly belonged to a small group of countries which had the fastest growing economies in the world.
Since the publication of this study on foreign investments and economic development nearly twenty years have elapsed. This period brought tremendous changes to Liberia and its population. The increasing political chaos which followed the 1980 coup culminated in the civil war that raged during the 1990s. "
"But didn't the naggers enslave the natives? Explain that!"
Yes. The Americo-Liberians enslaved the natives, however, it was completely justified. For starters, the natives set out on a mission to antagonize and attack the new settlers from the very beginning. It is important to note that there was an immediate lack of ANY African-American immigrants, let alone skilled African Americans or generally anyone with an IQ over 78. What makes this WORSE is that the natives were still (illegally) practicing slavery even whilst living among Americo-Liberians who themselves are descendants of slaves. The natives had proven time and time again that they were incompatible with Americo-Liberian civilization and proved this in 1980.
"B-But if Liberia was so good, why is it so shit now"
Simple. The Natives and the CIA. You see, while many anons know of the shitshow that was both of Liberian civil wars, many don't know why they happened It is important to note that, as earlier, the natives proved themselves to be incompatible with civilization and were angry with the "oppressive" regime the Americos created. Furthermore, in the 70s the president of Liberia had developed a pro-Palestine viewpoint, whilst also seeking cooperation with communist African nations. This led to the CIA supporting terrorist Native groups hell-bent on destroying anything the Americos had created. And since the natives were always a minority despite attempts of attracting Afro-Americans, they were powerless to stop the onslaught.
So what ruined Liberia? Savage Natives, lack of Afro-American immigration, and CIA-funded rebels.
>attack the new settlers from the very beginning
And they were completely in the right to do so. If some foreigners pull up on a ship and declare themselves your master are you going to just sit back and let it happen?
>And they were completely in the right to do so.
Bullshit they attacked them first and try to not only re enslave them but even went as far as to ask British and France for weapons. Also when you crackers get to leave South Africa what you said is true?
I always find it hypocritical(but I'm talking to whites so it's their nature) them bitching about the so called Natives being oppressed by Black Americans without a shred of irony or self awareness or the so called Bantu expansion that somehow killed alot imagery ethnic tribes in SA despite neither the Bantu nor the Khoi/San themselves mention and yet they ignore the countless recorded genocides they have done in Africa and American Natives.
You don't get to say that shit cracker after all the dirty laundry you have done then and now.
And especially since you whites set it up in the fucking first place, essentially American protectore and we had to lease some of our resources to your shit private company firestone for decades. Only when we decided to separate and control our land is when you CIA destroyed it.
Can't bite the hand that feeds you. Euros, chinks and russgolians are no different.
We feed America more than reverse. We tried to end your welfare dependency but like all addicts you try to take it by force.
that's some real teary-eyed cope my friend.
Why did the Americans turn on the Liberian colonists? They'd been pretty close allies since essentially the beginning, what changed the Americans' attitude?
cold war
>Why did the Americans turn on the Liberian colonists?
Cause they wanted independence and control of their resources, they wanted friendlier relations with USSR and finally they were planing an legit political union with their African neighbors and I believe the last two was the reason they set a coup.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mano_River_Union
his /misc/ always leaves out the cia coup when talking about Liberia. I wonder why.
Cause like the accuse Blacks they don't take responsibility as well. Have you ever seen them admit that they were just as guilty for the actions that backfire in their faces long term?
I didn't realize I was in the CIA.
Consider their MKUltra programs, I wouldn't be surprise if you were.
>they wanted friendlier relations with USSR
Uhhhh... Yeah that'll do it, when you do that shit in the 70s that's exactly how you get killed and mutilated and your ministers shot on the beach
Cozying up to the Soviets was always well known to be the geopolitical equivalent of the shit in this video.
It's like when you do that, you are going to get fucked up by the CIA, were the Liberians not paying attention to what happened to Lumumba? The glowies don't play around.
To be honest in that case I would just made Liberia Soviet base go all the way.
It was til 80s and CIA plant a coup.
There was never much of a chance that millions of people would go across the ocean to a malarial jungle with no clue of what lay ahead. No chance unless they faced possibly lethal danger otherwise.
Honestly the fact they not only did all that but survive, more or less thrive and built a country that was relatively stable for a 100 years or so is probably evident against the idea Blacks can't into society with all that going against them and they're former slaves with less help, that's impressive at least the Diaspora Black.
Liberia isn't even ran by Americo liberians anymore plus they barely make up 5% of the countries population
I feel like the funny thing about liberia is that while the Americo liberian were oppressive, liberia was one of the most prosperous countries in Africa while they were in charge and then the cia funded a coup and they country went to shit.
In what way were they oppressive compare to any other African country pre-post colonization.
I mean I don't really care, but I just find it funny that the cia coup that destroyed the country is always left out when talking about liberia on this site. People just assume the country was shit from the begning
I met a Liberian guy, his name was Photogenic and his dad's name was Photosynthesis. Is it normal for Liberians to have weird ass names?
I had a friend in school named Wood and his older brother was named Brick. We used to run around playing confederates in Ohio and scare the neighbors. He was a based retard, I hope he did well in life
Knew a Liberian man in college whose name was Cepheus, which is substantially less weird than those names.
unironically the collapse of Liberia was from them fucking like rabbits, something like 50% of the entire colony was below the age of 16
That was probably normal for 1820
Why didn't they assimiliate the natives?
They try to? In fact they try to assimilate with them first saying they were all one Kongo people as solidarity.
