Never read I a well and truthfully crafted article as this in a long while.

I have always found it disconcerting that a significant number of African - American children are raised by single mothers who have to work multiple jobs to provide for their children because the father's are not taking responsibility.

That further widens the generational decline in morals, values, and discipline.
Many of them do that mess for money. They get government assistance

The bolded simply shows how ignorant of what you know about the Liberian situation and the Americo-Liberians.

These individuals came in and isolated themselves from the other tribes around them because of there aristocratic attitude inherited from their former masters while in captivity. They exported this exploitative behavior and regarded the natives as heathens while they were uppty blacks who were here to show the natives the way.

They exploited the resources and used the natives as cheap labor, excluding them from politics and marginalized them from all political activity which caused the first coup that caused assasinations and blood shed in Liberia.

Charles taylor who is an Americo Liberian by descent is an example of the descendants of these AA's who continued to exploit the long standing exploitative relationship with the US and the Americo's to distablize that country. The official report was that he escaped from an American prison when in reality he was deployed by the CIA back to Africa as an ally to destabilize the country before he switched to Ghadaffi for arms and training to stage a revolt.

Please know your history before coming here and embarrassing yourself.

Liberia is a glaring example of how AA's pretty much messed up an entire opportunity to show what they were made of and you can't wipe that history away.
You're still on this forum? shocked

Anyway, this is what I'm saying. Clearly the african way is not working is it? Africans want change, but don't want to be exposed to different ways of doing things. How can things change?

I'm not saying the AAs are saints.

I don't buy into your conspiracy on westerners trying to destabilize Africa.

It's just another way of finger-pointing. Sorry.

I've heard you and noted your point

The Liberian in Liberia have that animosity
I felt it and saw it..

It's akin to a caste system

Americos up

Others down
Nope I'm Nigerian. So you're in Liberia?

I just dont subscribe to the finger-pointing nature of blacks.
I don't agree with the discrimination, but if the Americans don't seclude themselves, won't they be a target?

they used the knowledge to re-create their own technology.

no African nation has ever been the manufacturing hub of any european nation and the europeans don't do knowledge and technology transfer with Africans..

So are the AAs

I don't need to go to know history.

Are you Liberian?

Doesn't the same thing happen in Nigeria? Arent ppl that try to shake things up accused of being self-hating and thinking they're better?
Africans are too insecure. Yet they want change.

Yes AAs too are self-destructive, but they're thinking is slightly better than Africans in the liberia situation.

Africans didn't accept religion, religion was imposed on Africans.

most schools had religious origin and if Africans wanted jobs they have to attend those religious schools.

religion is a tool of mind control and colonialism.

they are black and African too but from another continent.

They have better experience and knowledge and I expect them to teach their fellow "black and Africans", not have superiority complex and make the indigenes feel so bad that they had to change their names from their ethnic names to American sounding names and in 2020 very few liberians understand their ethnic languages..

for African countries to advanced, they have to re-create knowledge in their ethnic languages and culture and AA's or Americo liberian shouldn't be part of those undermining African culture or indigenes culture.
Why are you saying they have a superiority complex? Are you projecting?

This is the same case in Nigeria abeg. Nigerians come from abroad and some of them are killed off cos of insecure Africans and some of them that criticise and try to shake things up are are accused of being self-hating and thinking they are better.

A confident person cannot be made to change their ethnic name and culture.

Both groups exhibit the same short sightedness

Both groups worship instant gratification

So on what basis really do you think you are better

Or vice versa
Forget story
They tried to change Liberia for the better based on the knowledge they had gained from the west. But what did the insecure Africans do? Accused them of thinking they are better! And that caused a war.

This is why blacks in diaspora fixing africa can never work because of the mentality of insecure Africans. You accuse blacks/africans from overseas of thinking they are better when they are trying to help because you are insecure.

It's part of the crabs in a barrel mentality of black ppl.

It's quite intriguing for a woman to think she understands men perfectly, You're not a man so don't make general assumptions. The fact that you know men that cheat and are polygamous does not mean all men are wired that way.

Also, you're completely wrong to assume men don't cheat because of some sort of fear. Most men don't cheat because of Principles and Self control and not because of fear. I tell you there are even some men that are not really into women, if you haven't seen such, they exist, and I'm not talking about gay men here. They are much more interested in other things than women.

I find it curious how Africans (Nigerians especially) love to say African-Americans blame all their problems on white people. This may be true, but the hypocrisy involved is staggering. Africans themselves are fond of blaming European colonialism and neo-imperialism for their problems. Yet, claim black Americans like playing the victim.

The only difference I see between black Americans and African immigrants is their circumstances which lead to different behavioral patterns. Africans mostly come from shitholes, so when they go to Europe or America, they understand their new privileges and know they have no excuses not to succeed. So they're filled with pluck and determination. African-Americans on the other hand do not understand how privileges they are and how much harder their counterparts find it in other parts of the world. They're indoctrinated to feel perpetual victimhood and indoctrinated to believe there is systemic discrimination that obstructs their progress, so many turn out lazy and unaspiring.

Let's stop pretending, there is very little similarity between Africans and African americans. The only thing we have in common is our skin and shared ancestry, nothing much. They are not us, we are not them. And its okay.

Their mainstream culture is toxic and Africans copying them should learn from the long term consequences that come with such lifestyle.
Just shut up!! They are not superstitious like you lot.

African americans are the MOST imitated and popular group of blacks around the world.

Polygamy is not legal to Nigerian Christians.

Even Muslims are limited to 4 wives, but I can authoritatively tell you that most rich Muslim men have more than 10 women in their lives aside their wives, its that bad, marrying more than 1 wife cannot even quench the natural form of man to desire to mate with as many women he finds appealing as possible (if religious belief and doctrines are removed) shocked
Yeah I'm sure adultury is not "legal" in christianity either.

Carry on showing your hypocrisy.

With all due respect, your logic is baseless.

I have told you earlier that man made laws even though he may later not like the laws he made, but he has to abide by the law to avoid facing the consequences that comes with breaking the law he had made and built institutions to protect and enforce the law.

Do you know that European men or let me say western men regret some laws that empowered women their forefathers made some centuries or decades agohuh But they can't change it, but they have to abide by the law to avoid facing the consequences.

Men make certain irrational decisions to please women they love or care about, such women include; their daughters, mothers, wives, mistresses, etc....and maybe after making the decisions, they regret but can't change it.


You don't expect a Christian man who maybe a respected elder in his Church to be dating 3 different women aside his wife publicly just to satisfy 1sharon's hypothesis that if men are polygamous in nature, they should cheat publicly lol

There are laws and norms that keep the society sane and cultured, so you must abide by those laws and societal norms and expectations even though you may not be totally comfortable with them.
What laws do you keep talking about?

Isn't polygamy legal in Nigeria or is it illegal?

Polygamy maybe legal to Muslim men, it is not legal to Christian men.


And marrying two wives does not still quench the polygamous nature of men to go for other women he finds appealing, its that bad. That is why you read that Solomon had 1000 concunbines and so many wives.....go and check men who married more than one wife, they still keep mistresses, especially if the man is financially buoyant.

Women cheat mostly for economic and security reasons, but men cheat for no reason....before you see a woman cheat on her husband, be rest assured that her husband is not financially buoyant or he does not give her enough money as she desires or doesn't meet all her need, so she uses her body to augment......

A man may cheat on his wife and I can tell you authoritatively that he still loves her, but before a woman cheat on her husband, be assured that she no longer love the man but only with him for some reasons like; her kids, financial security, societal stigma, etc....though there are ladies that cheat for the fun of it, but they are very infinitesimal and negligible....but majority of men that cheat cannot even tell you why they did....their wife or girlfriend maybe the most beautiful, sexiest woman that is also loyal and good mannered, but ask him why he cheated, he will most likely go blank or blab incoherently, showing you that he is only following his natural instinct which is why a man need the [s]grace of God and commitment to God or religious doctrine to flee from being polygamous[/s].
I'm sure adultery isnt "legal" in christianity either.

If polygamy still won't stop men cheating, why get married and start breaking hearts?

Why not stay single and sleep with whoever you want? Will anybody question you?

Yeah and the "grace of god" does not work.
