You ever look into history and all the things the intelligence agencies have gotten us into over the decades? Including trying to assassinate your buddy Castro. It's amazing how people these days are so misinformed. Take your buddy Colin Kaepernick. Rich athlete, raised by white people. But takes a knee during the anthem to protest racism and oppression. Then wears a shirt with Fidel Castro on it and talks about all the great things he has done. Castro. One of the 20th centuries worst oppressors. And to boot, Castro was racist himself against black Cubans.


Yes, people are misinformed.

There are reasons that some black people in the US and especially those in Africa see Castro in a positive light. It has to do with the important roles Cuba played in Algeria, Ethiopia, and later in Angola during their wars to throw off colonialist rule, and their opposition to the Apartheid government in South Africa. It has to do with how the Cubans helped Namibia gain their freedom. Of course, most US media didn’t cover these stories, so people are misinformed, or rather, they are not informed at all.


We can rightly view Castro as a repressive, murderous tyrant (not unlike the man he overthrew and replaced) and still manage to understand why he isn't viewed this way by everyone across the globe.

All God's children are not beautiful. Most of God's children are, in fact, barely presentable.


I never met anyone who didn't have a very smart child. What happens to these children, you wonder, when they reach adulthood?
