Peace and Blessings Family,
Can anyone give me a brief summation of Castro - Cuba - and Black People?
I don't know a lot about the relationship between the three, nor much at all about the first two.
I do know that it appears the US government hates Castro and Cuba. I know this country has put sanctions on Cuba, trying to make life hard for the non-white people there. I have heard that Castro has never backed down to the US, always held his ground, in spite of the sanctions and such, put upon them. These things alone, are enough to make me love the man and his country. I'm also aware of him giving a home to our Beloved Sister Assata Shakur. There may be others as well, i just don't know.
With President Castro's reported illness, and age, there seems to be a major change coming soon. As a result, there's been more buzz in the news about Cuba and the United States' relationship with them.
I heard Condoleeza Rice say that we (the US) are just trying to let the Cubans know that we are here for them, to help them transition to a new government ... democracy ... so they don't have to simply accept their next president, and continue living under a tyranny ... or something like that.
My heart goes out to Sister Assata Shakur, for if the US has their way in this, she'll be caught and sent back to prison ... or worse. That's just one thing, i'm sure there are many more "worses" for Cuba, if they trust the US ... after treating their people as they have, all this time.
Okay Family ... somebody please help me understand what's really going on, what's finna happen, and should it concern us.
Love Yall!
