Cuba's atrocious record on race was somehow overlooked by the Congressional Black Caucus. Last week the Stalinist regime that jailed and tortured the longest suffering black political prisoner in modern history (Eusebio Penalver) rolled out the red carpet for 6 smitten members of the CBC. All of these U.S. legislators met with "President" Raul Castro while a lucky three secured back-stage passes to meet Fidel himself.
Not since Ann Margaret's reaction to Conrad Birdie's kiss has anything been recorded to match these U.S. legislators' reaction to these meetings.
"He looked directly into my eyes!" gasped Rep. Laura Richardson (D-Ca.) "and then he asked: how can we help President Obama? Fidel Castro really wants President Obama to succeed." (no doubt!)
"It was quite a moment to behold!" hyperventilated Rep. Barbara Lee. (D-CA) "Fidel Castro was very engaging and very energetic."
"He's one of the most amazing human beings I've ever met!" gushed Emanuel Cleaver(D-Mo)
"Raul Castro was a very engaging, down-to-earth and kind man," according to Bobby Rush (D-Ill.) "someone who I would favor as a neighbor. It was almost like visiting an old friend," (a Freudian slip, perhaps? Bobby Rush, after all, was a card-carrying Black Panther who did prison time)
Lest we forget: these Black U.S. legislators were raving about a regime that jailed political prisoners at a higher rate than Stalin, and executed more people (out of a population of 6.4 million) in its first three years in power than Hitler executed (out of a population of 70 million) in the Reich's first six.
"The Negro is indolent and spends his money on frivolities, whereas the European is forward-looking, organized and intelligent... We're going to do for blacks exactly what blacks did for the Cuban revolution. By which I mean: NOTHING!" - (Ernesto "Che" Guevara.)

“Fidel Castro really wants President Obama to succeed.”
What more needs to be said.
As far as Cuba is concerned, if this place is such an “island paradise” why is it run more like a prison that freedom loving people try to escape from? Castro will soon be joining his mentors in the fiery pits of hell for all of eternity. I suspect that the members of the “Black” Congressional Caucus have their reservations made as well.
What do you expect. They stay with the DemoRATS. The RATS do NOTHING for them except keep them on the plantation.
I haven’t seen one boat leaving CA for Cuba.
“the people in her district who she is referring to”
absolutely. the only poverty in America is due to bad attitude. ANYONE willing to try can do well in America.
“if this place is such an “island paradise” why is it run more like a prison that freedom loving people try to escape from?”
God help us, that we have to even say such things; that actual congresscritters provoke such statements.
“...people in Cuba live better than some of the people in her congressional district”
Sooooo, these idiots only visited the tourist resorts of Cuba? Were they given sugar to go with their morning coffee or did they have to have the managers bring it to them after an official request?
Their level of stupidity is astounding...
“people in Cuba live better than some of the people in her congressional district”
Key words “her district.”
They arent doing this for a good feeling...there is something (most likely financial) in it for thease people.
I wonder if they will praise Castro for the “quarantine” that he imposes on AIDS patients in Cuba? Funny, the communists in congress never mention that to their constituents.
Anyone who hates America and our freedoms is beloved by the majority of blacks.
“They arent doing this for a good feeling...there is something (most likely financial) in it for thease people.”
I don’t think we need to read anything more into the CBC’s love for Castro other than a Marxist’s love and envy for a fellow Marxist’s power to command slavery over a population.
The CBC is the most vile collection of racists, slavers, comnmunists and traitors to ever gather on American soil.
So true, because the vile crap that Jeremiah Wright preaches is not at all unusual among that group.
Even more evil that actually believing in Marxism IMO.
History is replete with ‘guided tours’ and ‘Potemkin Villages’ designed to put ‘lipstick on a pig’ for credulous ‘useful idiots’. This self-organized racist organization is only playing to their home constituencies who have obviously bought into the blame-Amerika and ‘I am a victim’ mind sets that keep these people elected and their voters on the plantation.
White government, 71% black population.
Apartheid?
Any enemy of the U.S. is a friend of the Congressional African-American Caucus.
You just have to listen to CSPAN for five minutes to hear the hatred directed towards America.
Not as tho they leave our beloved country, they just stay here and spew hatred.
This should come as no surprise, the Congressional Black Caucus is an organization of Communists and has been for a very long time. Now, of course, they don’t call themselves Communists, the word has fallen out of fashion. But, they are Communists nonetheless as are most Democrat leaders these days.
