The sucker was of slave descent, once he got elected as president of Liberia, his government practiced slavery forcing thousands of native Liberians to work on Firestone plantation, or build road,many other shipped to Fernando Po and Sao Tome


....

In 1930 the League of Nations published the committee's report, dubbed the ‘Christy Report’ after the Committee's chairman...

The report found:

"In order to suppress the native, prevent him from realizing his powers and limitations and prevent him from asserting himself in any way whatever, for the benefit of the dominant and colonizing race, although originally the same African stock as themselves, a policy of gross intimidation and suppression has for years been systematically fostered and encouraged, and is the key word of the Government native policy;" and

that, "...Vice President Yancy [of Liberia] and other high officials of the Liberian Government, as well as county superintendents and district commissioners, have given their sanction for compulsory recruitment of labor for road construction, for shipment abroad and other work, by the aid and assistance of the Liberian Frontier Force; and have condoned the utilization of this force for purposes of physical compulsion on road construction for the intimidation of villagers, for the humiliation and degradation of chiefs, of captured natives to the coast, there guarding them till the time of shipment [to Fernando Po and Sao Tome.]"[4]

This still goes on today. How many leaders in Africa wouldn't sell their people purposely or unpurposely.
