Why Some Black Politicians Love Fidel

You would think that liberal Black Politicians would have their hands full,
with the disaster that is the Black Family Structure, Inner City Crime,
Hip-Hop Culture and overall murder on the streets. When Al Sharpton
starts to look like the only Black Leader that seems worried about it
and Bill Cosby is told to shut up,  you know your in trouble.

But it gets worse, Hat tip: Babalu.com ” (WASHINGTON) - Led by U.S.
Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), a bipartisan Congressional coalition
today successfully stopped efforts to weaken economic sanctions against
the Cuban dictatorship, one of only five regimes in the world on a U.S.
watch-list of state-sponsors of terrorism.

An amendment to the Farm, Nutrition, and Bioenergy Act drafted by U.S.
Rep. Charles B. Rangel (D-NY), chairman of the House Ways and Means
Committee, would have given the Cuban regime access to U.S. financial
institutions through direct bank transfers.

The
amendment also would have created special visas for Cuban regime
officials to travel throughout the United States with access to the
U.S. food supply through “inspections” of agricultural products for
potential sales to Cuba. The amendment was defeated on a vote of 245 to
182.

“The
amendment would financially reward an avowed enemy of the United States
- the Cuban regime - and throw open our doors to its intelligence
agents and others dedicated to undermining our security. Responsible
Members of Congress could not, in good conscience, vote for an
amendment that would threaten U.S. homeland security by opening the
door to terrorist travel and terrorist financing,” said Ros-Lehtinen.

Why isn’t Rangel (D) N.Y using his influence to fix the orgy of Black on Black

crime that his Caucus has presided over for years? I do not need to
post statistics, they are well documented. Black Leadership stood
silent as the Hip Hop Culture denigrated woman everyday as many times
as MTV could peddle it to their children.

Maybe he is worried that the children of Cuba are being rationed as to
how many ounces of rice they can eat each day? I don’t think so. Or
maybe he is worried that

Fidels Government needs a little shot in the arm so it can rule for another 50yrs.

It is no secret that the Leftist Black leadership in this Country dislike some
in the Cuban American Community. If Fidel parachuted into Harlem today
most would receive him as a Hero, just like Chavez. You don’t see Cuban
Americans walking around town with t-shirts of Martin Luther Kings
Murderer on. Maybe part of it is to just tweak the Cubans in Miami.
Maybe the other part is Envy. Look at what the Cubans have done in
45yrs.

When they finally arrived in the U.S., Cuban immigrants transformed it
in lasting and unprecedented ways. Many Cubans, especially among the
earliest groups of immigrants, at first only expected to stay in the
U.S. for a short while before the new government was overthrown. With
the passing of time, however, some Cuban Americans came to face the
possibility that they would not be returning home in the near future.

In 1960, the Hispanic population of Miami was 50,000; in 1980, it was
580,000. The new Miamians formed a very close and cohesive community,
and they quickly began founding businesses, banks, and Cuban American
institutions, as well as finding jobs for later arrivals. By 1970, 50%
of Miami hotel staff members were Cuban American, and in 1980 half of
all Miami-area construction companies were Cuban-owned.

The arrival of the Marielitos in the 1980s led to a backlash from
non-Cuban Miamians, as well as by some more established Cuban
Americans. Even the most successful Cubans had to overcome language
discrimination and religious intolerance in their time in the U.S.

You would think the Liberal Black Leadership would want to come to Miami and study

the Formula of Success that is the Cuban Americans. But no, they go out of their way

to rub Cuban American enemies in their face, Jessie Jackson has wet
dreams of Fidel every time he visits him, ignoring all the political
prisoners many Black, on the island. So why do some Black Politicians love
Fidel? I don’t know.

Why don't you just say you have a problem with African people?  It would be much more honest than the ethnically insensitive and politically false drivel you just posted.

"the disaster that is the Black Family Structure, Inner City Crime, Hip-Hop Culture and overall murder on the streets."  What was that supposed to mean?  You mention the remnants of centuries old anti-African racism, slavery and genocide without  giving  the credit for the damage to the people who imposed these conditions on African people.  If some, and I do mean some, within the American African community find Dr. Castro and President Chavez appealing, it's because they have stood up to United States aggression, colonial racism and imperialism.  Despite the CIA planned, funded and executed Bay of Pigs coup, 22 assassination attempts and endless sabotage and propaganda against Cuba, they still survive and do more for teh world's poor than the U.S. ever has over teh past 40 years.  And no one, even the most rabid among Chavez' opponents, denies that the failed coup against his government was U.S. sponsored. 

I suppose you haven't read the "Family Jewels" files from the CIA detailing several attempts on the life of Fidel Castro with teh help of teh Italian Mafia.  Here, I'll make it easy for you:

This is a summary from the National Security Archive hosted by George Washington University:

Plus
a bonus "Jewel":

Warrantless wiretapping by CIA's Division D (pp.

After centuries of rape, murder, lynching and socio-political marginalisation, why wouldn't such a population find something of merit in such leaders?  Would it be better if people of colour followed the example of the draft-dodging capitalists that currently control the U.S. government?  many of us think not.

I for one do not.  And I do not appreciate the bigoted tone of your commentary.  Find a more tactful way to express your opinions.  - The Angryindian
