Many prior colonies struggle with racism within dark skinned groups. For example between several different tones of dark skin or creole/native differences in history. Very noticable in Suriname which used to be Dutch untill 1975 which has a very multicultural demographic with many different groups settling since the late 1800's whichis quite long for something like that. Always tensions between Hindu's, Javanese, Chinese, Creole, Native, Marron-relatives, whites, Jews, and surprising lot of Lebanese.
India has a special term for them, it’s called ‘Brown Sepoy’, by skin color look Indian, but culturally colonized with the Anglo mindset. In this case of Liberia, they can be called ‘Black Sepoys’, by skin color African, but by culture, morality, and ethics, European.
It's about as ironic as those being persecuted in Europe coming to American colonies only to persecute other people there too. Regardless of race, religion, gender, sexuality, etc. everyone can be an asshole.
Truthfully, Liberia wasn’t ever that American. The Americo-Liberians were a really small elite, making up only a few hundred families who held an iron grip on the government and national economy, leaving the native majority to suffer. While Liberia was technically economically prosperous like you said, that wealth was only experienced in the capital city of Monrovia and its surrounding cities. In these cities, the Americo-Liberians lived in mansions in gated communities, and had access to advanced hospitals and universities. The native towns and villages on the other hand looked like your typical improvised African slums. So while Liberia had a high GDP in the 60’s and 70’s, most of Liberia still remained poor because the Americo-Liberians were hoarding all the money. William Tubman, Liberia’s autocratic leader during the Cold War, was infamous for letting his family embezzle thousands of dollars of the national budget that they would waste on drugs and gambling in the United States. In other words, the economic disparities were obvious. The majority of Liberians had no connection to America, and by the time the 1980 coup and subsequent Civil Ward happened, the majority of the Americo-Liberians would flee the country (taking their fortunes with them, effectively making the country even poorer), and with them gone, that killed the little American influence that Liberia had. Nowadays, the only real American influence that can be seen in Liberia is language and religion. But even then, tribal languages and religions are still widely spoken/practiced.

Hardly. The early Zionist settlers legally bought land, which was usually in swamps and sparsely populated areas, from Arab landowners. They have also had a continuous presence in modern-day Israel for thousands of years (even though they became the minority), since not all a Jews were sent into exile. They later gained more land, much of which was their historical territory, when the Arab nations attacked them.
The argument that blacks aren't capable of building a society is to an extent true but it stems from blacks being a lot less educated than whites which effectively doomed a lot of black countries to fail. Meanwhile Botswana which was first led by a more educated black man and didn't adopt more black people into government until education improved has seen a lot of success being the richest sub-saharan African country
It's literally only geography, it has nothing to do with education. First civilisations were founded by farmers. If your state will be successful or not is purely just geography.
