you are wrong. Cuban society was/is very racist. Please GooGle Carlos Moore who has dared to explode the lie. Yes under The Beard they even whipped South African's assin on memorable battle.

before political correctness, casual racism and prejudice were fairly common. i think you'ld be hard pushed to find a public figure you couldn't find some reason to call racist before the 1980's.

ghandi
churchill
roosavelt

pick your favorite and type their name and "racism" into google and you'll probably get results.

that's the way the world was, sexism, racism & homophobia were the norm rather than the exception, even good men held abhorrent beliefs as truth. it shows how far we've come.


Good point there!

I was about to say the same thing, although I don't think it has as much to do with political correctness (which pretty much says: "You can't say that" but not why it's wrong) as opposed to having a lot of barriers knocked down that showed us just how similar we really are. There was a time when I'd meet people that hadn't even seen a black person outside The Cosby Show, but the show itself helped dispel a lot of preconceived notions. The kind we get due to simple ignorance. It's about accessibility.

But yeah...our "heroes" have said and done some pretty crappy real life things.

Take Gandhi for example.

Aside from all of his extra-marital affairs with "virgins", Gandhi also refused to let his wife use penicillin when she was sick, saying rely on God instead, and she died soon afterward.

Guess what happened when he got hit with malaria?

"I'll take some quinine now, please!"

I'm sure Jesus was some radical married guy with kids.

This is why I don't do hero/celebrity/religious figure worship, but I do respect the message they gave.

Take that for what it is.

The man fought for liberty of ALL races in Cuba , he even gave his life.
The population in Cuba is mostly of afrikan origin..how does that sound?

"Prefiero morir parado que vivir en rodillas"

Que viva la revolución!


Don't be so dumb:

65.05% is white
10.08% is black
24.86% is mulatto
1% is asian.


Dumb?
Don't break that glass house of yours.

The 2002 census figures supplied by the government claim that 65% of Cubans were white.[1] The Institute for Cuban and Cuban-American Studies at the University of Miami says 68% are black. The Minority Rights Group International says that "An objective assessment of the situation of Afro-Cubans remains problematic due to scant records and a paucity of systematic studies both pre- and post-revolution. Estimates of the percentage of people of African descent in the Cuban population vary enormously, ranging from 33.9 per cent to 62 per cent".[2][3]Wiki


*My emphasis.

The person in your quote also said "African descent" (which would include Mulattos) so I'm going to assume literacy isn't your strong-point and you've clearly never been to Cuba, nor know anyone who has.

I personally can tell you that your numbers are crap, but you probably pulled them from thin air since you aren't even thorough enough to supply a simple source.

Nice work with the "dumb" thing but you should refrain from using it in the future.

This terrible 'racist' was a medical doctor who worked as a volunteer for leper colonies...because it was needed...

This hero... who was a populist, and sought only to free south and central america from the ox collar of american corporate greed and exploitation..

Was branded as a communist in the 60's by the CIA and successfully scrubbed from the american psyche...

What motive might a person have to use a headline claiming that this amazing man was a racist have?

This man who refused, despite Castro's urging, to join the Communist Party?

Might he not be a true Son of Liberty?

At a dedication of a Tree of Liberty in 1766...Silas Downer said:

"We do therefore,
in the name and behalf of all the true SONS of LIBERTY
in America, Great Britain, Corsica, Ireland or
wheresoever they are dispersed throughout the world,
dedicate and solemnly devote this tree to be a TREE of LIBERTY.

----May all our councils and deliberations under its venerable branches
be guided by wisdome, and directed to the support and maintenance
of that liberty, which our forefathers sought out and found
under trees and and in the wilderness. ---


May it long flourish, and may the SONS of LIBERTY often repair hither,
to confirm and strengthen each other.

--When they look towards the sacred ELM,
may they be penetrated with a sense of duty to themselves,
their country, and their posterity:

--And may they, like the house of David,
grow stronger and stronger,
while their enemies,
like the house of Saul,
grow weaker and weaker. AMEN


The Internet IS the Liberty tree.
