Black Lives Matter: We Must ‘Come To The Defense’ Of Castro
Amber Randall
Former Cuban dictator Fidel Castro’s legacy provides many lessons to learn from, according to Black Lives Matter.
After Castro’s death Friday, Black Lives Matter released an article titled, “Lessons from Fidel: Black Lives Matter and the Transition of El Comandante.”
“And there are lessons that we must revisit and heed as we pick up the mantle in changing our world, as we aspire to build a world rooted in a vision of freedom and the peace that only comes with justice. It is the lessons that we take from Fidel,” the group claims.
Reports of Castro’s death came in Friday evening. Castro ruthlessly suppressed those who disagreed with him politically in his 47-year reign.
According to Black Lives Matter, there are many feelings that accompany the death of Castro, like fear, loss and anxiety. It is crucial, the article maintains, to defend Castro, despite his “flaws,” against “the rhetoric of the right.”
Executed in Santiago de Cuba by the Castro regime in 1959
The irony of Fidel Castro’s death on Black Friday- the most capitalist day of the year – should serve as a reminder that freedom always wins, eventually.
Black Lives Matter is a sick perverted group.
BLM is being controlled and manipulated by someone and you can bet that someone isn’t black. Most likely Soros or someone else who is out to destroy the US.
All the while there is no statement from them about the shootings in Chicago.
My feeling is that all the BLM supporters who think Castro was some kind of hero, should just move to Cuba, so they can live his legacy every day.
Especially BLM members would be dead or in jail. They are not a bright group. I suggest they go visit Cuba now.
Per Wiki:
A survey[year needed] showed that white Cubans believe that blacks are “less intelligent than whites” (58%) and “devoid of decency” (69%). Racial Politics in Post-Revolutionary Cuba by Mark Q. Sawyer discusses the racial ideology prevalent in the country.
According to anthropologists dispatched by the European Union, racism in Cuban is systemic and institutional. Black people are systematically excluded from positions in tourism-related jobs, where they could earn tips in hard currencies. According to the EU study, black people are relegated to poor housing, were excluded from managerial positions, received the lowest remittances from relatives abroad, and were five times more likely to be imprisoned. Blacks also complained of suffering the longest waits in healthcare.
Esteban Morales Domínguez, a professor in the University of Havana, believes that “the absence of the debate on the racial problem already threatens {...} the revolution’s social project”. Carlos Moore, who has written extensively on the issue, says that “there is an unstated threat, blacks in Cuba know that whenever you raise race in Cuba, you go to jail. Therefore the struggle in Cuba is different. There cannot be a civil rights movement. You will have instantly 10,000 black people dead”. He says that a new generation of black Cubans are looking at politics in another way. Barack Obama’s victory has raised disturbing questions about the institutional racism in Cuba. The Economist noted, “The danger starts with his example: after all, a young, black, progressive politician has no chance of reaching the highest office in Cuba, although a majority of the island’s people are black.”
Jorge Luis García Pérez, who was imprisoned for 17 years, states that “the authorities in my country have never tolerated that a black person oppose the regime. During the trial, the color of my skin aggravated the situation. Later when I was mistreated in prison by guards, they always referred to me as being black”.
As a black prisoner of conscience, Oscar Elias Biscet wrote to Coretta Scott King in January 1999, “They [black Cubans] have a very low political, economic, and judicial representation in contrast to the numerous prevailing black penal population. This situation is never publicly manifested by the government but is a component of Communism’s subtle politics of segregation.” Black Cubans such as Biscet and Jorge Luis Garcia Perez have been allegedly forcefully separated from their families for criticizing Fidel Castro.
I am beginning to think that it is more like “Black Lives do NOT Matter.”
Since 1964, “Roots” has been playing backwards.
Blacks in America will end up in chains of their own making.
According to Voyages - The Transatlantic Slave Trade Database, about 900,000 Africans were brought to Cuba as slaves. To compare, some 470,000 Africans were brought to what is now the United States, and 5,500,000 to the much vaster region of what is now Brazil. Slavery in Cuba was abolished in 1886, on a Royal Order by Regent Queen María Cristina of Spain.

The name of the jpg is “fusilamientos_cementerio_badajoz_1936.jpg” That roughly translates to “shot in the cemetery of Badajoz in 1936”. That is the Spanish Civil War period, not Castro’s Cuba.
(Castro was not an American hero, in case you missed that fact in history class....you did have a history class didn't you?)
They gonna guard his ashes?
Criminals all. But what does that matter anymore?
If BLM continues on the path they’re on, they’ll soon find out where it will lead them. One look at world history would show them that no country with a diverse population of different races, languages, and religion has long survived.
Countries don’t naturally form with a diverse population, and when in the past they’ve occurred it’s usually been as a result of armed conquest. These unnaturally formed countries have either melded together into a single population made up of one mixed race with one language and one religion or they’ve come apart, and they’ve usually come apart with extreme violence. The longer these diverse populations were forced to coexist with one another without mixing and becoming one, the more the hatred grew among them and the more violently they broke apart, but break apart they did, or genocide has settled the issue once and for all.
It once appeared as if our country might one day become a mixed race people of olive skinned, brown eyed, black haired, English speaking Christians, but Barack Hussein Obama has started a Communist Revolution among our black population that will undoubtedly destroy any possibility of that ever occurring.
Communism is about subjugation. The blacks have been horribly subjugated in Cuba under Castro. Let Trump now demand that Cuba free its black population from enforced slavery and be accepted as equal citizens with Cuban whites.
If there was any question remaining about the scum that organize the BLM movement, this should put paid on it.
The BLM movement must be banned and its organizers prosecuted. Our tolerance because of race has got to cease!
