Che didn't discriminate. He killed blacks and gays with equal cheerfulness.

The leader of a US Cuban exile group has slammed 1619 Project founder Nikole Hannah-Jones after she claimed Cuba had the 'least inequality between black and white people' thanks to its socialist government.
Orlando Gutierrez-Boronat spoke out against the New York Times journalist Tuesday after a 2019 podcast where she called the communist country one of the most 'equal' in the world, resurfaced online.
The Havana-born scholar, who is based in Miami, said Hannah-Jones's remarks do not 'reflect the reality of Cuban history', noting there has actually been a lack of black leadership on the island since the 1959 revolution - which saw dictator Fidel Castro ascend to power.

IF.. and that is a big IF, you could find the original group that fought in the mountains with Fidel, and took power, HOW MANY OF THEM HAD DOMINANT NEGROID genetic composition? How many held high level office and power? One thing to SAY you aren’t racist, but do a search and see how many people on the island of Cuba are dominant negroid DNA composition. But then, they need to apply some AFFIRMATIVE ACTION quotas and gt more crackers on the teams of the NFL and the NBA..just saying, everyone is a hypocrite.
Same thing in Venezuela and Panama - “We don’t have racial discrimination”, but seemed all the high level government positions were held by light-skinned people. Even Chavez and Noriega were lighter skinned.
Hmmm, Fidel, Raul, and Che all look pretty white to me.
Fidel Castro, a privileged White guy, overthrew the Black President, Fulgencio Batista. Guess that fact escapes the limited mind of this Nikole Stalinazi idiot.
She doesn’t think. She doesn’t have to. She says whatever she wants and if people disagree than those people are called racist.
Che didn't discriminate. He killed blacks and gays with equal cheerfulness.
Should make everybody question the accuracy of the “facts” in her “1619 Project.”
Lets do a swap. We’ll take any Cubans who want democracy but Cuba must take every last American who hates the flag and never return them.
I didn’t know Batista was part black. He wasn’t dark enough for it to be obvious.
Batista certainly was racially mixed, and usually was described as having both Amerindian and black ancestry. Even while president, he was blackballed by all of the (all-white) social clubs to which he applied.
I recall that Egyptian president Anwar Sadat was pretty dark skinned and widely seen as "black" by western countries, but the Egyptians themselves were very irate at Lou Gossett Jr. being cast to play him in a Hollywood biopic, seeing it as an insult to have him portrayed by a black man.
Anyway, I DID know that Batista was an absolute dictator who seized power in a coop BEFORE Castro, resulting in Americans greeting Castro's overthrow of Batista with open arms and hailing him as a liberator. Of course, the honeymoon was short lived as they figured out within a few months that he was a Lenin style marxist figure and an even WORSE totaltarian dictator.
Makes me wonder when's the LAST time Cuba had some leader that was actually freely chosen in a democratic process.
It’s hilarious Castroite apologist & fanboi loons still cite Batista as being so “horrible” and that Castro & Co. were “justified” in getting rid of him. Batista was fine with business as usual and keeping good relations with the United States (and, after all, Cuba still had a high per capita income by 1958, one of the wealthiest nations). We’ve seen what 62+ years of Castroite Stalinism has done to this once great nation.
Swapping Batista for Castro was a textbook example of “out of the frying pan, into the fire”
Or more like treating a small cut on your finger with a nuclear bomb.
That’s hilarious!
I bet they let him in while he was dictator.
1948. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1948_Cuban_general_election
Bautisa of course had been freely elected President prior to taking over via coup.
Nope, even after he became dictator, they didn’t let him in. They were private clubs, and unanimity was required to let in new members (hence the literal “blackballing” of those who even one member opposed their admission, signalled by secretly placing a black ball instead of a white ball. Batista was no Castro, and he never went after private property even during his dictatorial times. He hobnobbed with celebrities and went to fancy parties, of course, but he never could become a member of the Casino Español or other exclusive social clubs.
