Black Lives Matter has blamed the 'cruel and inhumane' US for the current unrest in Cuba as the activists praised the communist regime for its 'solidarity' with oppressed people.

The group sparked a furious backlash with the statement shared online following a week of violence on the island and furious protests over food shortages and rising prices.

BLM accused the US of causing the instability with its embargoes which have caused 'pain and suffering' for Cubans for 60 years in the message which was branded 'worse than embarrassing'.

“Cuban’s right to choose their own government” - gag me with a spoon. BLM literally believes a communist dictatorship is “chosen”.

Morons of the first order.

One, I ran his had the same sanctions for several decades. And quality of life there is fine except for the mullahs. Two, you hand the entire rest of the world. And three, so you are saying socialism cannot succeed unless it can get things from capitalist nations?

Morons.With oil, ports, over 4 times the miles of beach as California ( and more beautiful) farmland, timber, etc. Cuba should be wealthy all by itself.

Cuba’s black population is a big majority. Not many if any can be found as communist elites.

One of the wonderful leaders given shelter by the Castro gang was Joanne Chesimard who now goes by the name, Assata Shakur. Chesimard was part of the criminal gang who executed NJ State Trooper Werner Foerster by a shot to the head while he lay wounded on the interstate; she is real scum. Spent a year or so in state prison, escaped to Cuba where she has remained for over forty years. Hopefully the Cuban people will be successful in overthrowing the garbage that runs the country and Chesimard’s butt will be put on the next plane to the US, in handcuffs. Of course, she will probably be pardoned by the occupant of the White House.

One of those “black revolutionaries” who went to Cuba was Eldridge Cleaver, he did not have kind things to say about Cuba when he returned to the US.

The people who are more less street punks now will be the poor in a communist style dictatorship.
They will not be the Castros or the Bidens.

The Cubans can trade with virtually every other nation on earth, and they are failing because we don’t trade with them?

Was Marco flummoxed? Appalled? Fit to be tied? His panties in a wad? Did he respond with a tongue-lashing tweet?

I believe that food and medicine are exempt from any US embargo.
