Because its their home. A concept you probably can't wrap your head around. Also there are more whites on welfare than there are blacks. Always have been.

At the time it was offered, most blacks were not given a choice. Liberia was founded as a place to send newly freed slaves during the first half of the 1800s. In other words before the Civil War. Blacks who had been freed for some time had established themselves in American society, getting jobs, acquiring skills, purchasing land. Why give that up to engage in a speculative venture. Plus the departure of skilled free blacks would have created a hole in the American economy, something the whites who were bankrolling Liberia did not want to happen.
