The Price of Liberty: African Americans and the Making of Liberia http://libgen.li/item/index.php?md5=28C51308F215E77FA12EEA0E3A25F329

...But for many individuals, dreams of a Pan-African utopia in Liberia were tempered by complicated relationships with the Africans, whom they dispossessed of land. Liberia soon became a politically unstable mix of newcomers, indigenous peoples, and "recaptured" Africans from westbound slave ships. Ultimately, Clegg argues, in the process of forging the world's second black-ruled republic, the emigrants constructed a settler society marred by many of the same exclusionary, oppressive characteristics common to modern colonial regimes.

broke: read Settlers

woke: read Settlers but replace America with Africa and replace "white" with "black", and replace "black" with "indigenous black"

      Yes, and I am pointing out why this one, like most of the others, is wack.

      “I’m not racist but if they hate the US so much why don’t they back to [african country]”

      Just so the spectators are clear on this, this is racist. It is not woke. A racist thing does not become woke if you say "I'm not racist but" in front of it. It is still racist.

        Okay, now I get what you were trying to communicate and I agree with you. Heads up: Linking back to that comment which was already unclear was counter productive, comrade.

          Well, it felt to me like a lot of people were saying the same thing that I had already replied to, and I got frustrated. It would be nice if one could turn off inbox notifications for replies.

          Anyway, thanks!
