The communist regime in Cuba has been brutalizing the people since 1959. On Sunday, the people stormed the streets with American flags, demanding freedom and food.
Of course, Black Lives Matter condemned the U.S. instead of the communist regime for the protests and treatment they’ve endured for over 62 years.
“Black Lives Matter condemns the U.S. federal government’s inhuman treatment of Cubans, and urges it to immediately lift the economic embargo,” they wrote. “This cruel and inhumane policy, instituted with the explicit intention of destabilizing the country and undermining Cubans’ right to choose their own government, is at the heart of Cuba’s current crisis.”
BLM continued: “Since 1962, the United States has forced pain and suffering on the people of Cuba by cutting off food, medicine and supplies, costing the tiny island nation an estimated $130 billion.”
Oh, really?
Can someone explain to BLM what happened in Cuba in 1959? Fidel Castro overthrew President Fulgencio Batista and implemented a one-state policy.
The communist regime has denied Cubans their basic human rights since 1959. Not the U.S. government.
BLM insisted Cuba has “strong medical care and history of lending doctors and nurses to disasters around the world.”
Yes, it is America’s fault Cuba lacks COVID-19 vaccines and medicine. If Cuba had “strong medical care” it would not need America’s help.
“The people of Cuba are being punished by the U.S. government because the country has maintained its commitment to sovereignty and self-determination,” BLM ranted. “United States leaders have tried to crush this Revolution for decades. Instead of international amity, respect, and goodwill, the U.S. government has only instigated suffering for the country’s 11 million people – of which 4 million are Black and Brown.”
The Cubans want communism?
It gets better:
Cuba has historically demonstrated solidarity with oppressed peoples of African descent, from protecting Black revolutionaries like Assata Shakur through granting her asylum, to supporting Black liberation struggles in Angola, Mozambique, Guinea Bissau and South Africa.
Assata Shakur is Joanne Deborah Chesimard, leader of the Black Liberation Army. She murdered New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster in 1973. He pulled her over for a faulty tail light.
Chesimard escaped prison in 1979. She found asylum in Cuba.
