Hannah-Jones said Cuba has the least inequality between Black and White people
1619 Project writer Nikole Hannah-Jones said in a podcast that she believes Cuba is the most equal country in the Western hemisphere and could serve as a model for its integration agenda.
In a 2019 podcast with Ezra Klein of Vox and The New York Times, Hannah-Jones was asked whether there were candidates or places that she thought had a "viable and sufficiently ambitious integration agenda."
Hannah-Jones responded that while she is not an expert on race relations internationally, she believed the most "equal" and "multiracial" country in the Western hemisphere is Cuba, which she attributed to socialism.
"The most equal multi-racial country in our hemisphere, it would be Cuba," Hannah-Jones said, as reported by the publication. "Cuba has the least inequality between Black and white people anyplace really in the hemisphere. I mean, the Caribbean, most of the Caribbean it's hard to count because the White population in a lot of those countries is very, very small. A lot of those countries are run by Black folks. But in places that are truly at least biracial countries, Cuba actually has the least inequality. And that's largely due to socialism—which I'm sure no one wants to hear."

You can leave with your one way ticket starting right now.
At one point, the Castros owned 80% of Cuba.
They are billionaires now
The elite in ANY system will do quite well. I don’t care what the system is. But I’m talking about the average person here. The millions...not the very few folks at the top.
If everyone is poor and miserable is that not equity? I’m just sayin’.
Then why doesn’t she go there? Or go to Venezuela? Or Iran? North Korea? China? Russia? Plenty of socialist paradises to choose from.
Yeah, under socialism blacks and whites are equally miserable.
I would bet that Nikole has a Che shirt in her closet without ever having read his opinion of blacks.
Yes, everyone suffers privation and oppression equally. Except party members.
“Equality” means everyone has zero.
Every person imprisoned in Cuba I’ve ever spoken to tells me the darker your skin the more the prison officials torture you.
Makes one wonder how or why Fidel became an almost-billionaire:

$900 million - not bad for the anti-capitalist revolutionary.
Bitch, they all be in idle.
Cause the gub mint there say you can not freely make a dime regardless your product.
Cept prostitution.
Typical leftist nonsense. Everyone in Cuba today, except the communist elite, are equally poor and miserable. However, long before the communists took over Cuba did have a culture which was integrated and much more color blind than many other countries. Cuban society before the communists took over already much less racism than many other societies at the time. And definitely less than that shown by the typical Democrat in the 1940s and 50s.
Equal, all right. Everybody is miserable pauper (except for the communist elite, of course).
He’s not so wealthy now.

We ain’t buying that jive.
I don’t see her getting into some rickety boat off the coast of Florida and paddling her way to this cuban paradise and giving the US her finger as she does it. Lying witch!
Yup.......equal distribution of misery.
Equally miserable.
