Liberia is a melting pot

Tribal overland migrations of hunter/gathering peoples from central/eastern Africa. Then you have the seafaring/fishing settlements along our coasts. Then you have the Portugese trading posts. Then you have the slaving factories. Into this mix, you throw in those returning from the Americas. Ship upon ship of emacipated newly captured slaves from the Congo basin, all dumped in Monrovia and resettled. Then you have the German traders. Later, you mix in the Lebanese traders. You mix all this together, and you get what is Liberia today. These are the facts. This is what has happened. This is our history. We need to acknowledge this and move on. We don´t have time for a "my-religion-is-better-than-your-religion" or "we-were-here-first" debate. This reminds me of George Orwells "Animal Farm" where the pigs declare that some animals are more equal that others, and start feasting in the farmhouse while the other animals are excluded and forced to watch through the windows. Wake up now.
