So much of today’s “news” is a barf-fest that every second title on FR would read “barf alert”. Default redundancy.
That’s right; like black Americans the Afro-Cubans cheer communism because in the short run it was an improvement for them. That “improvement” ended decades ago (in both countries), and they’ve been in misery since.

Most people do not know blacks in Cuba are treated as second class citizens...
I thought in socialist paradise like Cuba all were equal...
I’m wagering a guess here that over half of the islands white population left after Fidel grabbed power
I hate comments in the title with a visceral passion. But who knows ... maybe other people like being told how to react.
Yeah. Almost certainly rounded up and sold to the slave traders by Obama's ancestors.
Cuba can keep him.
Mao murdered mostly Chinese, Stalin killed mostly Russians, and the Mau Mau mostly killed blacks. A bullet in the brain pan is indifferent to the ethnicity of the finger on the trigger.
Where’s the barf alert? There should be a barf alert! :P
*snork*
Just goes to prove that you can get away with anything, as long as the people you hurt are the same race as you.
“A revolution without firing squads is meaningless.”Anyone claiming that Obama and Sanders (never mind Hillary) are not about this dictum ultimately is not telling the truth.

Even in Zimbabwe, blacks are still second-class citizens next to ZANU-PF party elites.
Prejudice against blacks and Indians is alive and “well” in Latin America. Many years ago while it Mexico, I met a family of elderly “Spanish” spinsters. They were telling me about there youngest sister who had recently married a successful businessman. But they scornfully said in Spanish, “But she married and Indian.” I am sure that whatever jobs there are in the communist uneconomy, they go first to the light skinned.
Obama’s ancestors, the black ones, were from Kenya on the east side of Africa. If they engaged in slave trade it was to the middle east. Our slaves were brought from east Africa, and yes they were originally captured by other Africans and sometimes Arabs. Travel across the African continent in a commercially useful time frame was almost impossible in slave trading days.
