Basically 19th century American liberals sent a bunch of freed slaves back to Africa to build their own Western democratic nation there. Instead of learning from America's past racial intolerances, the AA settlers thought of themselves as racially and culturally superior to the native blacks, stole their shit and land and even denied them of citizenship in their own land till a hundred years later.

Oh and they also enslaved the natives well into the 20th century.

Believing themselves different from and culturally and educationally superior to the indigenous peoples, the Americo-Liberians developed as an elite minority that held on to political power. They treated the natives the way American whites had treated them: as inferiors. The natives could not vote and could not speak unless spoken to. Just as American Blacks were prohibited from marrying or having sexual relationships with white women, the natives could not marry Americo-Liberian women.

Oh man, it's wild. Ever since shit hit the fan in the US, this wacko has been spurting nonsense about how the only way the US can be fixed is to force all of the non-blacks out of the former slave states and relocate all the black people there so they can govern themselves and live free of "oppression".

I went looking for the topic in which he posted all this nonsense, but it's apparently been deleted.

do you still think every minority should thank white people like you for building the modern world even tho you personally didn't do a damn thing?
Hey, that's how the world works now. You are responsible for everything that your group did or does. All cops are apparently pure evil because a few of them step over the line now and then. All white people are apparently racists because a few of them owned slaves hundreds of years ago.

From their experience in the American South, the Americo-Liberians knew only one type of relationship: master-slave. Their first move upon arrival in this new land, therefore, was to recreate precisely that social structure, only now they, the slaves of yesterday, were the masters, and it was the indigenous communities whom they set out to conquer and rule.

The two groups usually lived far from each other, and their contacts were infrequent and sporadic. The new masters kept to the coast and to the settlements they built there, of which Monrovia is the largest. The newcomers, unable to set themselves apart from the locals by skin colour or physical type, tried to underline their difference and superiority in some other way. In the frightfully hot and humid climate, men walked about in morning coats, bowler hats and white gloves. Women wore stiff crinolines, heavy wigs, and hats decorated with artificial flowers.

These expeditions and local wars had a single overriding goal: to capture slaves. The Americo-Liberians needed labourers. And indeed, they started using slaves on their farms and in their businesses as early as the second half of the 19th century. They also sold them to other countries. In the late 1920s, the world press disclosed the existence of this trade, plied officially by the Liberian government. The League of Nations intervened. The then president, Charles King, was forced to resign. But the practice continued by stealth.

They were Free People of Color, some of whom who owned slaves, migrated to America by choice, and never went through slavery. It was only a small amount of Free Blacks in Liberia and even then the majority had no desire to migrate to Liberia.

This is also true if you have roots in the north and your past relatives fought with the union and abolished slavery.... Youre still a racist.

Sure doesn't sound like they were never enslaved themselves, and sure doesn't sound like there were "only a few of them". But honestly, I shouldn't be surprised that the guy who named himself after the black supremacist villain from the Black Panther movie is trying to twist the narrative to make the Liberians look better in this situation.
