Black Lives Matter mourns, defends Castro
The Washington Examiner ^ | November 29, 2016 | Kelly Cohen

The Black Lives Matter group mourned and defended former Cuban leader Fidel Castro, and said it felt an "overwhelming sense of loss" after the death of the communist dictator on Friday.

"Although no leader is without their flaws, we must push back against the rhetoric of the right and come to the defense of El Comandante," the group wrote in an unsigned editorial published Sunday titled, "Lessons from Fidel: Black Lives Matter and the Transition of El Comandante."

The group praised Castro's "revolution," and said humans deserve certain rights based on being born, including: "healthy food, clean water, decent housing, safe communities, quality healthcare, mental health services, free and quality education, community spaces, art, democratic engagement, regular vacations, sports, and places for spiritual expression are not questions of resources, but questions of political will and they are requirements of any humane society."(continued)

In the 1960’s, the FBI investigated seditious groups, including fifth-columns. Of which we could name several, today....

Thanks for the info.

The question remains.

Why haven’t conservative blogs, never mind the msm, picked up on this?

I found their link totally by accident checking for dates of the Venceramos Brigade beginnings on another thread.

Sent a link to the Washington Examiner editors... not going to hold my breath.
