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'.

Ahhh, 'the other shoe has dropped' - the one that confirms BLM is part of the commie takeover plan...

Jen Psaki's first political job was with an American commie.

(and there are no blacks in high positions in commie hellholes - blacks are used and tossed)

Cuba does NOT have anything the rest of the world wants

Possibly cigars and anyone who can afford them, gets them illegally without any trouble.

Everything ELSE Cuba produces, can be found more affordably elsewhere, including ‘revolution’. 😁

Cuban rum and tobacco and we get anywhere and without dealing with them

The ONLY and ever, wholly unique and incomparable Cuban ‘commodity’ was tourism, which Fidel and Che chucked down the s#@tter rather than continue to benefit from the evils of Capitalism. They willfully turned the most beautiful Caribbean island into a sh#@hole that even the inhabitants want to flee!! Why do you think the Soviets finally pulled the plug on that place? Once Cuba was no longer a platform for Soviet hardware, routinely dead-heading ships back to the USSR was an exercise in 'remove nose to spite face', that EVEN Nikita couldn't afford.

Read some of the wonderful Che Guevara’s writings; he openly considered and wrote that blacks are inferior and here BLM is worshipping him and the mess he and the lousy Castros made of Cuba where you don’t find black Cubans in the party hierarchy, even though they are a majority of the island’s population.

As far as I know, the US is the only Nation on Earth that has a Cuban Embargo in place.

We must be even more powerful than I thought.

I wonder, why is Havana full of old 50’s era American Cars but not full of old 50’s era Eastern European and Soviet built Cars?

I read Che's bio “Companero”.

He was really a messed up person (which I already knew) from beginning to end...but Marxism sure f’d him up for good and all.

Cuba had/has no industry so he was stupid to think Cuba could function off of export of sugar cane

Fidel was tired of his s*&t and sent him to Bolivia. But Che couldn't sell Marxism there. I think Fidel basically cut him for bait at that point and quit supporting him. Che was a dummy!

The embargo was put in place after Castro confiscated or “nationalized” American assets in Cuba shortly after the triumph of the revolution - to the tune of billions of dollars.

Don’t believe a cent of this has been paid back and likely never will.

Maybe we can make a trade: Our useful idiots at BLM for the freedom loving Cubans.

And what is interesting is that he became a Christian during the last few years of his life and spoke out strongly against communism but you never heard that.

Wonder why?

Yep, you never even hear his name mentioned any more, as opposed to Huey Newton.

nope blacks are not the majority

The latest census count listed Cuba’s racial breakdown as 64.1% white, 26.6% mulato (mixed-race), and 9.3% Black. However, many scholars believe these figures underrepresent Cuba’s non-white population.
