I believe that if racism is to be conquered, we need to understand its history, and the hold that that history may still have on a large segment of western civilization. It is my desire that this hold will be broken in the lifetime of my great-grandchildren.

Are We Bred to be Racist?

Part I The Editor, In my childhood, I never heard the word ‘racism’, but in the past ten years, I have heard it used continuously. Does that mean that racists didn’t exist when I was a child? Not at all. My grow- ing up years were rife with racism. I lived in a white community. Most of the people were of European descent, mainly British. We had a small number of Chinese people. I had no idea back then how communities were estab- lished. I think I simply assumed…

You deprived yourself of all the social luxuries that a young man enjoys while growing up just to ensure that the tragedy that then presided over the state vanish! You exposed yourself to horrors and tyrannic menaces when it was not fashionable to do so.

According to reliable information received by this portal, the Liberian government led by former soccer star George Weah, President of Liberia, and his Coalition for Democratic Change or CDC is preventing progressive Pan African struggle icon Comrade Alaric Tokpa from traveling out of the country.

I think the time has come for us, the PEOPLE OF LIBERIA, to join the rest of the “civilized” world to desecrate the symbols of Black subjugation. It will be unconscionable and abhorrent if we do not seize upon this awakening of America’s and Britain’s original sin – slavery and the continued institutionalization of racism — to remove the name of a slave master (James Monroe) from our capital city. This moment calls for a vigorous civil debate. I believe it is fitting and proper that WE THE PEOPLE OF LIBERIA change the name of our capital city.

OPEN LETTER TO THE PEOPLE OF THE REPUBLIC OF LIBERA The Editor, Monrovia, the capital city of the Republic of Liberia, is named in honor of President James Monroe, the fifth president of the United States—and a slave owner. This honoring of a slave owner is a travesty to the autochthonous and should be an abomination to the children of the settlers (the Americo-Liberians). The 1810 census record shows that 49 enslaved individuals lived at Monroe’s Plantation in Highland, Virginia. This made Monroe one of the country’s largest…

CDC Machiavellian Strategy Ahead of 2020 And 2023 Polls, How CPP Can Avert a Predatory Plot

By Martin K. N. Kollie In this brief analysis, I have exposed four (4) vicious strategies of CDC and advanced five (5) suggestions to CPP ahead of 2020 and 2023 polls in Liberia. Without Montserrado, CDC and Weah’s second term bid is a DEAD DREAM. Opposition Senator Abe Darius Dillon currently poses serious threat to CDC’s political lifespan. If the opposition wins Montserrado County for the second time in roll in this upcoming December’s senatorial election, it means that CDC is done for good. Weah and his idol worshippers…
