Liberians in Philly are, in general, honest, hard working, legal immigrants. in fact, the black community typically looks down at them and victimizes them BECAUSE they have the temerity to actually WORK for a living!

That is my understanding of the Liberian community, as well.

This is a terrible tragedy. I do find it interesting, however, that while Liberia was first settled by former slaves in the US who emigrated back to Africa, now it seems that many are returning here.

I was at my group Christmas dinner in Princeton, NJ recently, and was pleasantly surprised to meet and hear a colleague (a Liberian native) express her absolute contempt for Jessie Jackson, and his divisive politics.

She and her husband (also Liberian) both loathe Jackson and his minions. They absolutely love America, and the opportunities it has afforded them, and aren't afraid to say it. There's something about having your country overtaken by murdering thugs, and being lucky to have escaped with your lives, to make you appreciate America.

I hope they weren't affected by this tragic accident, and offer prayers and condolences to those who were.
