Castro: Racism in US keeps many away from Obama (Fidel Castro endorses Obama, blasts McCain)
Washington Times ^

Posted on 10/11/2008 8:15:03 PM PDT by Chet 99

HAVANA (AP) - Fidel Castro says a "profound racism" in the United States will stop millions from voting for Barack Obama in next month's presidential election.

The ailing, 82-year-old former Cuban president says it is "a miracle that the Democratic candidate hasn't suffered the same luck as (assassinated leaders) Martin Luther King, Malcolm X and others who harbored dreams of equality and justice."

Castro's written comments were published by state media Saturday. In them, he insists a "profound racism" exists in the U.S. and that millions of whites "cannot reconcile themselves to the idea that a black person ... could occupy the White House, which is called just that: white."

Castro also described Republican presidential candidate John McCain as "bellicose."

If they mean racism against empty suits then include me. If they mean racism just because he is black then I would like to cordially invite them to go have sex with themselves except they would most probably enjoy it.

Good grief. It's a shame McCain didn't ask Condi Rice to be VP if for no other reason than to stop all this racism/sexism spew.

If racism was that much of a problem, obummer wouldn’t even be the nominee.

I’m so sick of everyone whacking around on that dead horse.

Castro plays the race card!!!!

The only reason Soetoro has made it as far as he has is because of the race card.Black racists voting because of his biracial colour and white liberals because they feel guilty if they don't.

Castro is a piece of sh*t who will rot in hell with Che. He doesn’t have any blacks in positions of power in Cuba because he’s a racist himself. No one in Miami wants to vote for “ese negro.”

Fidel has spoken.

He’s repeating the Obama supporters talking points.

Its clear as day where Obama is coming from.

Fidel can’t wait for the sanctions to be lifted by President Barack Hussein Obama.

Am I under investigation now for using his full name?

The ailing, 82-year-old former Cuban president says it is "a miracle that the Democratic candidate hasn't suffered the same luck as (assassinated leaders) Martin Luther King, Malcolm X and others who harbored dreams of equality and justice."

The stated primary charge in the story is about racism implying white oppression of blacks. Black Malcom X was done in by fellow blacks from the Nation of Islam. How does this crap get passed the editor's desk?

I’m not surprised. Obama’s Kenyon cousin, Raila Odinga, named his son Fidel Castro Odinga. (Obama campaigned for Odinga while “serving” as a United States senator. Traveled to Kenya on a “fact-finding mission” paid for by taxpayers.)

I want to be the first to thank Fidel (if he is still alive) for endorsing B.O. , thus making South Florida even more competitive for McCain .

God Bless the Cuban community and the Police for doing the Right thing !

Must watch . Taking it to Code Stink Liberal Traitors , Cuban Exile Style , Enjoy ! :

Thank you so much arasina! I have had hearing problems since I was in my 30’s, therefor youtubes are often hard for me to understand.

So I take the pictures and put the appropriate text in them so that anyone knows immediately what they are about.

Appreciate your comment.

LOL!

That’s it!

Check out the torn old chair Billy Beer Carter is sitting in next to his multi-millionaire brother Jimmuh Carter who is munching on something from Billy’s moldy fridge!

It can’t be a dangerous rabbit - perhaps some brie?

A poll on CNN tonight said of the blacks planning to vote break down thusly.: 98% for Obama 2% for MCaine.

Does that mean only 2% of blacks are qualified to run for President? Obama's claim to fame is his ability to read a speech he didn't write from a teleprompter.

His negative qualifications include Rev Wright, Ayers, ACORN, and Resco[sic]. I'll let you furnish his positives, if any.

What executive decisions has he made? If anything, he even ducks a chance to vote by saying "present". Was it 100 times?

I think it was fried chicken, not the killer rabbit! They probably didn't know what brie was, judging by the furnishings.

Maybe Billy's beer store?

Okay, so now his endorsements include: William Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, Michael Phleger, Louis Farrakhan, Momar Qaddafi, Fidel Castro, FARC, and Hamas...and I'm sure I'm missing some other whoppers. Could more red flags be raised? Could it be any easier to see that this man is bad for America?

Have you seen Ayers’ upcoming book?
There is a common thread running through Hussein’s race-baiting endorsers.
