@daddy style usually makes good points in here, I am really curious to know why he is stuck on what I consider to be an illogical stance on Castro. Black Cubans haven't been propelled to new socioeconomic status under Castro, they still occupy the bottom rung of Cuban society and have since the country was formed. A lot of Castro's theories and ideas I agree with, but I don't agree with the brutal way he went about getting it done.

^^ I was immediately depressed. I've mostly been ignoring the fact but some days I wake up like wow damn they really elected this dude.
Two wrongs don't make a right. How does racism among Cubans excuse Castro's actions?
And yeah I'm beginning to find it funny.
Be clear though are you saying all the ppl Castro sent to firing squads were racists and not innocent? All of them benefited from white privilege and deserved to die or be tortured? They were all white Cubans none of them black Cubans?
Let me know how far this blind ignorance goes.
I literally do it all the time. Perhaps you're new to seeing me reply to somebody on NT. Welcome to having an argument/discussion with Master Zik.
I don't see the humor.
That don't got **** to do with what I'm talking about with Castro.

No doubt, Donald Trump has much in common with a terminal disease. However, there will never be acceptance of a hostile minority takeover.

Great comment, but I wholeheartedly disagree. I too am African, who happens to live in America, one who considers himself Black. Of course there were and are issues concerning tribalism as you say, but that did not give europeans the right to come along and then exploit the divde, then creating a racist institution in order to further the divide among the people. That is the moral question that stands, and no Black people cannot be racist, because there wasn't and isn't a system that supports people who are Black to the point that anyone who is not Black can be reduced to subhuman status, a person without the right to equal standing, nor having equal protection under the law. Revenge isn't left for me, but I do see it looming on the horizon, those who live with White privilege see that revenge coming as well, thus Trump being elected, and this new European union being formed. They are separating, and you are trying to intergrate with them still. They know the end of their rule is near, and they are rightly afraid, and those of you who wish to stand by and protect them through your dissenting opinions of Black independence, will suffer right along with them when the time comes. Those who know, know the deal. All of you sporting this kumbaya thing had better be ready to be disappointed. What are you going to do when white privilege falls? Who and what are you going to lean on then? It seems that some of you already have trouble sleeping.....[emoji]128513[/emoji]

We really having to argue how Castro was a cruel oppressive dictator? He might've done some good things but so did Pablo Escobar or Hitler. And I'm pretty sure most people would focus on the atrocities they have committed. Castro's hands are far from clean and whatever good he did pales in comparison to the rest of his actions.

This is the part where he asks you if you're white and/or christian even though he doesnt care since he's already dismissed your views.

To point and laugh or not to point and laugh?
It's almost like republican opposition to Obamacare was craven political maneuvering?
Might be a little harder to repeal then people thought.

One of my favorite political figures is Thomas Sankara. Like Castro, he was a revolutionary and overthrew a tyranical government. Unlike Castro, he did it without bloodshed. In the four years he was president, he sold off the fleet of governmental vehicles, rode a bike to work, renamed his country (Burkina Faso), eradicated hunger, promoted the consumption of local goods, raised the level of literacy, and expanded women's rights. In the 1960s. Do you know what was his undoing? His friend, Blaise Compaore, who thought it would be better to return the country under the control of France. Compaore shot Sankara, seized power, and undid all the progress this man had made.
There are many Compaores in Africa, and these leaders are complicit in the advance of European imperialism. Their actions should never be discarded because they show that not all Africans suffer from imperialism. They also show that given the right circumstances, Africans are able to exploit their own neighbors for economic and political gain. Look at the eastern region of the DRC and the number of state actors that are funding rebel groups in exchange for the resources of the region. The leaders (current and former) of some of those states have used child soldiers before, and they support groups that are coercing populations in resource-rich eastern Congo to illegally mine gold and diamond that they can sell in exchange for weapons.
Imperialism and racism are not exclusively European; the proof is all over the news. Recognizing it is not excusing white priviledge or euro imperialism; instead, it is the first step in avoiding to repeat the mistakes of former politicians.
As to my point about revenge, we can be like Palestinians and Israelis, or we could sit at the proverbial table of negotiations. One solution is longer than the other, and one offers an outcome that is more stable for all than the other.

I'll laugh when they forget about it in four years and vote a straight republican ticket.
Again.
