  1. As a young Liberian who been living in San Francisco since I was a teenager, this brings joy to my heart. I always used to tell my African American friends but they taught I was joking.

  2. What nonsense! Colonized minds… not something to take pride in…. Embracing the mentality of a slave's master for self-identity is disgraceful…. Many of these individuals fail to grasp how historically misguided their perspectives are… This is the primary reason why the so-called land of liberty has a 90% poverty rate and a high illiteracy rate… and why corruption is so prevalent in this nation.. foolish mindsets! Decolonize yourselves! Most African Americans who migrated to Liberia think exactly like the Southern Blacks in America — that they are true-blooded beneficiaries of the slave master's goodwill. What a shame! The religious zealots left England to settle in the Americas and exterminated all the Indians, claiming their land and celebrating Thanksgiving every year. The same religious zealots, in the guise of the American Colonization Society, led by undiscovered racist slave owners, trained and funded the 'Uncle Toms' to come to Liberia and perpetuate the same nonsense of killing the locals and claiming the land…. Human beings can be so foolish!
