'"Cuba is right there, ready to build solidarity for the revolution," Mr. Torres promised. "The Negroes of Cuba day after day make the dream of their ancestors a reality."'

Uh, if you mean revolution as in "revolution", then I don't think you understand America. Go to Cuba, if it's so great, and stay there!

I recently met with a group of Afro-Cubans at The National Headquarters of Project21 after they met with Congressional Leaders much to the dismay of The Congressional Black Causas. Tom Delay he put this together and these Afro-Cuban spoke of the racism that goes on in Cuba.

So it's OK for someone of another ethnic group to refer to Black people as "Negroes," as long as they're praising Castro while they do it?- The article does say he was repeatedly applauded.

The folks that went to this conference must hate the color of their skin as much as the owner of the NYSlimes hates his religion.
