Obama, like any other diehard communist, hasn't a religious bone in his body. His phony baloney "church" advocated "Black Liberation Theology". BLT uses various concocted religions to promote the communist cause. Farrakhan's "Black Muslim" movement is part of it. Farrakhan worships Mao Tse Tung. He wants to recreate his movement here in the US. He's also a great admirer of Fidel Castro.
Cuban race relations were of the unspoken Latin American variety with caste and skin color quite often inextricably linked, but without the overt hostility blacks experienced in the US. E.G., the dictator Batista was a mulatto (naturally also unreported) and while running the country, was quietly unwelcome at exclusive private clubs in Havana!
With the flight of refugees from the middle class, Cuba has become a "majority-minority" country with new race-conscious attitudes. Fidel's government (Lula and Chavez too')has ginned up a race war of sorts to keep themselves in power.
