Nikole Hannah-Jones said Cuba is among 'most equal' countries because of socialism

Hannah-Jones said Cuba has the least inequality between Black and White people

1619 Project writer Nikole Hannah-Jones said in a podcast that she believes Cuba is the most equal country in the Western hemisphere and could serve as a model for its integration agenda.

In a 2019 podcast with Ezra Klein of Vox and The New York Times, Hannah-Jones was asked whether there were candidates or places that she thought had a "viable and sufficiently ambitious integration agenda."

Hannah-Jones responded that while she is not an expert on race relations internationally, she believed the most "equal" and "multiracial" country in the Western hemisphere is Cuba, which she attributed to socialism.

"The most equal multi-racial country in our hemisphere, it would be Cuba," Hannah-Jones said, as reported by the publication. "Cuba has the least inequality between Black and white people anyplace really in the hemisphere. I mean, the Caribbean, most of the Caribbean it's hard to count because the White population in a lot of those countries is very, very small. A lot of those countries are run by Black folks. But in places that are truly at least biracial countries, Cuba actually has the least inequality. And that's largely due to socialism—which I'm sure no one wants to hear."

Meaning that the leaders are filthy rich and the rest are dirt poor; like in Cuba.

" "Cuba has the least inequality between Black and white people.."

That's because all the white folk are at the top of the communistic food chain in cuba.

equally poor and miserable (except for the leaders of course *wink wink*

Socialism works great at making everyone equally poor and miserable and making all infrastructure equally decrepid

> Cuba has the least inequality. <

That’s probably true.

In capitalist countries some people are poor.
In socialist countries everyone is poor.

So if your socialist nirvana is such an example of “equality,” why are you not emigrating there?

(Even) the Atlantic (Black Lives Matter Misses the Point About Cuba) states that racism and inequality is much the reality in Cuba, while those of any race have a far better chance of advancement here, yet often at the cost of their own soul, esp. in wokemerica.

Well she’s right. They’re pretty much all equally miserable.

Hey Nikole,
Nobody wants to hear your views. You don’t even spell your name correctly.

The AOC argument seems to be:

Why should there be freedom in Cuber?

The main benefit of Freedom is the Freedom to choose Marxist Socialism.

Once Marxist Socialism is chosen, one is living in a Utopia where there is no need for freedom to choose something that will obviously be worse. [Marxist Socialism is the pinnacle of human organization.]

A woke country like Cuba must have an open border policy for people like her to immigrate.

This should tell you all you need to know about CRT. At the beginning of the 20th century Cuba and Argentina were in a rivalry with the United States for the second wealthiest nation after Britain. Argentina toyed with Fascism and Communism and quickly squandered their wealth. Cuba was the shining star of the Spanish Empire and then of Latin America. Then came Castro and that was it for a once thriving nation.

Castro was one of the twenty wealthiest people in the world when he died.

So... no.
