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."

Damn it. Is McCain going to get any of the world dictators’ support?

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.

Castro’s just pissed because even Death doesn’t want him.
To: Chet 99
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.

you know this is a great endorsement for Mccain if he knows how to use it. Dictators and Terrorists are endorsing this guy. If i was deciding i would have to say this would help me make up my mind when the countries enemies are supporting a candidate

Communism in Cuba keeps many from enjoying basic human rights.
