Chavez is aping his hero Castro, who pulled the same stunt in the 50s. There is a barely concealed subtext of racial hatred for whites in his politics, that is what his audience in Harlem understood, even if they know nothing else about him. Here is a good article about Chavez from The Atlantic.

America

"Sure I wave the American flag. Do you know a better flag to wave? Sure I love my country with all her faults. I'm not ashamed of that, never have been, never will be. I was proud when President Nixon ordered the mining of Haiphong Harbor, which we should have done long ago, because I think we're helping a brave little country defend herself against Communist invasion. That's what I tried to show in The Green Berets and I took plenty of abuse from the critics."

On His Political Philosophy

"I have found a certain type calls himself a Liberal...Now I always thought I was a Liberal. I came up terribly surprised one time when I found out that I was a Right-Wing Conservative Extremist, when I listened to everybody's point of view that I ever met, and then decided how I should feel. But this so-called new Liberal group, Jesus, they never listen to your point of view..."

"If everything isn't black and white, I say why the hell not."

God, I loved that man. He was a man's man for sure. God rest his soul.

There is a good reason why Venezuela's (White) elite all have homes (and money) in South Florida.
