...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"

    it is impossible for blacks in America because their culture is exactly the same as that of the whites and the only thing that separates them is skin color. They both speak English, live in America and are Christians, everything that separates them is meaningless aestheticism.

    Yeah, hard disagree on the cultures being the same.

      Why? They speak the same language, live the same lifestyle. Seems to me like the only things that separate them are the remnants of segregation.

        remnants of segregation

        There are no "remnants", it's still happening. If you're Brazilian and aren't from the states, then I get not understanding the difference between cultures, but trust me when I say that there is one.
