When Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., chastised Jay-Z and Beyonce in a TV interview for their recent trip to Cuba, he especially criticized Jay-Z for his adoration of Che Guevara.
“I think Jay-Z needs to get informed,” Rubio said. “One of his heroes is Che Guevara. Che Guevara was a racist. Che Guevara was a racist that wrote extensively about the superiority of white Europeans over people of African descent, so he should inform himself [about] the guy that he’s propping up.”
Jay-Z, Carlos Santana, and Johnny Depp — who have all been spotted in Guevara t-shirts in the last decade — have, as Rubio correctly noted, largely ignored the issue. Yet, some leftist defenders of Guevara do occasionally deal with this troubling issue. A blogger named Faraji Toure at “Afro-Punk” a notes a troubling passage from Guevara’s 1952 diary:
“The blacks, those magnificent examples of the African race who have maintained their racial purity thanks to their lack of an affinity with bathing, have seen their territory invaded by a new kind of slave: the Portuguese.”
And: “The black is indolent and a dreamer; spending his meager wage on frivolity or drink; the European has a tradition of work and saving, which has pursued him as far as this corner of America and drives him to advance himself, even independently of his own individual aspirations.”

Vlad, along with two neighboring Christian Kings-an Albanian and a Serbian- that I can’t recall, are highly underrated for their roles as gatekeepers for the West during that century. Was Vlad brutal? Yup. Were the Turks just as brutal? Yup. He fought fire with fire.
lol

Anyone ever watch the movie “Shooter” with Mark Wahlberg? When he rescues nick memphis, the fbi guy, from the black ops guys, ‘nick’ is wearing a che tee shirt.
If you watched the movie and never noticed, check it out. Nothing like not so subliminal mesages.
Yup.
Similarly, I find it amazing the number of American blacks who embrace Islam. There is an historical reason why the Arabic word for the color black is also the word for slave, and in the core Islamic areas not much has changed. Saudi Arabia still had formal slavery until about 1960.
Historical ignorance is rampant.
Call him a gay basher, it is more accurate.
He liked killing homosexuals, he didn't fear them.
Jay Z is an example of how complete idiots can make hundreds of millions of dollars in the USA while geniuses and heroes die in poverty.
and yet that quote describes Jay Z to a tee xD
Intelligent scientists can’t be heroes because they make idiot leftists feel less than grand about their own brains...or lack thereof.
