Social justice in Cuba? No racism? #FakeNewsCuba

There is social justice in Cuba. Nope. The dictatorship has institutionalized an apartheid between foreigners and Communist Party elites — Cuba's 1 percent — and "ordinary" Cubans. How? Through two currencies, a valuable one for the former and a worthless one for the latter, who are mostly black and brown.

5 days old, but a pretty good synopsis of the monstrosity called Cuba.

Socialism is aimed at creating a slave society. You can see it everywhere. Look at Hillary and Nancy Pelosi: you know they want most people to be slaves, and they want the elitists to be above it all.

They barely try to hide it.

Socialism / Communism is nothing more than feudalism with a dedicated State Ran Public Relations Department.

Last spring my wife visited Cuba under a cultural exchange program for professional photographers. Her observation of the cultural situation seems about the same as most countries. Those with the most European DNA sit at the top of the food chain. The darkest ones of African slave descent are the bottom feeders.

...and the sycophant Miami media PRAISES Obama for his sucking up to the Castro dictator.

Really really really disgusting to see how the PRESS acts like Obama did something GOOD by enriching the murderer.

The author of the piece may himself be a racist...look at this quote:

Cuba is a totalitarian white male military dictatorship that insulates itself from accountability to the Cuban people through the enormous bureaucracy of the Cuban government.

Another time or two, he refers to "white" people as being the problem in Cuba.

Actually, the problem is the philosophy/ideology of the people, not the color of their skin.

North Korea isn't run by a "white male military dictatorship". The "white" has got nothin' to do with it.

So while the author is correct about a lot, one must be careful of fully buying into his assertions.

The author:

Like I said earlier, beware of racism...he mentions being "white" as a significant problem with the rulers of Cuba. I don't know if the Castros think of themselves as "white" or not. I do believe the color of their SKIN has nothing to do with their wickedness.

See: North Korea, Burma, Afghanistan, Iran, Somalia, Chad, Sudan...none of these places are ruled by white men. All are dangerous.

Not really the same thing, is it? Not many whites or blacks in NOKO.

So while the author is correct about a lot, one must be careful of fully buying into his assertions.

Sure, he's a wanna be social justice warrior so he plays up the White-Black divide, but he's basically right about the split between the elite at the top and the ordinary Cuban down below.

Haitian refugees completely bypass Cuba on their way here.
