“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.”
Most equal.....aka....no one has anything.
This, of course, is why we see all those convoys of black people departing the US for the more equitable climes of Cuba.
Wait... that isn’t happening? Let’s put on our thinking caps and try to figure out why that might be.
If it’s all so wondrous and admirable in Cuba, what are the big protests in numerous cities about? Changes in Netflix user policies? Limits on video gamer chairs at one per customer during a big sale?
Or Cuba falling apart under socialism?
