Let's stop the pretenses Lucky. There's no "well I don't know about the things he did outside of Africa" because that's BS. 
Just admit that you don't care. And that's cool, that's on you, it's whatever. But just admit it.
Admit that you don't care if some people, many of whom were and are black people, are denied civil rights and liberties.
It's ok, you're not alone. There are tons of people out there that feel the same.

I never said it was OK. I said he helped a lot of black revolutionary's that were being hunted by their own government. So for that I have no issue with him.
Man I wish a lot of people would stay outta black folks business too but that doesn't happen.


And what the hell are you talk about? :lol:


Black people are 100% oppressed in this country. Slavery, lynchings, Jim Crow laws, police brutality, mass incarceration, terrible school systems, lack of jobs. African Americans don't even know their real history or their real last names because of what America has done so miss me with that. Yeah a few black can "make something of themselves" but as a group it's a different story.

yo..Castro was a horrible man...da fact some of ya Romanize his reign in Cuba from da cushy conforts of a true democracy in da United States is rich...

him and Chavez from Venezuela taking turns being deep fried in Hell's inferno as we speak.
 
I saw a guy at the mall viciously beating his wife...it was horrific

But he held the door for me on the way in...he's a good dude
 
Dudes comparing Castro to Hitler :rofl:

I believe Castro really wanted to do good for Cuba but once he came into power a lot of things were out of his hand and he chose to side with Russia and to secure his power and regime instead of empowering his own people with economic freedom.

I was fascinated with dictators as a kid. I used to do reports on dictators while my classmatws would do the usual reports on George Washington and Abe Lincoln. You gotta see both sides of the story, not only the side we are taught.

Exactly. Dudes in here with the SELECTIVE outrage. If you gonna be mad or upset with Castro, be the same way towards President-Elect Trump for his housing discrimination tactics and more so against black people. Folks have no problem when bad people do bad things to black people (Ronald Reagan and his supporters) but have a problem if and only if it happens in their community. Keep it straight across the board.
 
Castro might not of been Hitler but he did some awful **** that a lot of you are making way too light of.

The only difference is that Reagan had more resources at his disposal, his reign tyranny was more complex.

Reagan probably destroy more lives that Castro, just indirectly.

Castro was playing checkers, Reagan was playing Chinese Go.

naw, Reagan never openly oppressed dissent da way Castro had and Cuba continually does.

he may be diametrically opposite of everything u stand for ideological wise, but he represents honest to goodness freedom to folks who've tasted repressive regimes.

some of his most ardent supporters are Russians who escaped da Soviet Union and Cubans.

yo u gotta escape da island to have freedom of speech..thats straight nuts.

-How many right wing tyrants did Reagan help during his tenure, and how many people did those fools kill? Huh?

-How many AIDS suffers did he ignore?

-How black bodies were lost in his ramping up with his the drug war.

-It was Reagan that started the tough on crime nonsense.

-You voted for Trump because your hate our trade deals. The policy proposals that lead to NAFTA were brought to the national stage by Reagan. By your logic, I guess he needs to take some blame for Appalachia. Your mans.....



-He veto an anti Apartheid Bill

-Supported the exploitation of Mexican farmer workers

-He served as a snitch for the FBI to swear accused communist sympathizers in Hollywood. That blacklist ruined people's careers

-This fool illegal sold arms to Iran to fund lebels in central American

-Funded the Afghan Mujahideen

-Appointed Supreme Court justices that opposed civil rights and social justice for minorities

-Defunded mental institutions that lead to a spike in the homeless population

-And kicked off a massive finesse job of Social Security to cover his already massive deficits. Social Secuirty will probably have to be cut in the future because of this.

-This is the man that burst on the national stage politically by giving a speech in support of Barry Goldwater, a loon that opposed the Civil Rights Act.

-He used dog whistle against black people, opposed Affirmative Action until corporations liked it, and was against MLK day until it moderate whites were even like "WTF man"

-There were tons of people that wished they could escape Reagan's America. He was a ******* scumbag

I find it funny that Reagan's Presidential library is in Simi Valley, California. Reagan and his wife are also buried there.

Simi Valley is a former sundown town, and is also famous for its residents acquitting the cops that whooped Rodney King's ***.

So fitting, so so fitting.

[h1]Six facts about censorship in Cuba[/h1]
By Josefina Salomon, 11 March 2016, 00:00 UTC

[h2]To mark the World Day against Cyber Censorship on 12 March, here are six things you should know about free speech, the internet and online censorship in Cuba.[/h2]
The re-establishment of diplomatic relations between the US and Cuba in December 2014 brought renewed hope for an end to the US economic embargo, which has had a dire impact on the human rights of ordinary Cubans. But while tourists flock to the island to experience its romantic, old-world charm before it “changes”, less romantic is its history of restricting freedom of expression and peaceful assembly, still shown in the authorities’ determination to stifle dissent.
[h3]1. Freedom of expression can land you in jail in Cuba.[/h3]
Graffiti artist Danilo Maldonado Machado, known as “El Sexto”, found this out when he was locked up  for most of 2015 for painting the names of Raúl and Fidel – the names of the Castro brothers who have been in power since 1959 – on the backs of two live pigs. He had planned to release the animals as part of an artistic performance but, before he could, he was accused of desacato(contempt) and thrown in prison for 10 months. He was never formally charged or brought before a judge.
[h3]2. The state has a virtual monopoly on print and broadcast media.[/h3]
The Cuban Constitution recognizes freedom of the press but expressly prohibits private ownership of the mass media. While independent journalists and bloggers have emerged in recent years, the authorities continue to prevent journalists critical of the government from doing their jobs. On International Human Rights Day 2015, journalists at 14ymedio  – established by prominent cyber activist Yoani Sanchez – were prevented from reporting on a protest coordinated by human rights groups The Ladies in White and TodosMarchamos. According to one journalist, state security agents blocked the door to the building they worked in and told him: “Today you are not going out.”
Today only 25 per cent of Cubans use the internet, while only five per cent of homes are connected.

[h3]3. Cuba is one of the least connected countries in the Americas.[/h3]
Until 2008, the government banned ownership of computer and DVD equipment in Cuba. Today only 25 per cent of Cubans use the internet, while only five per cent of homes are connected. Internet access is still prohibitively expensive for most, and far from accessible to all. Cuba has said it will double access in the next five years, with public Wi-Fi hot spots starting to open since March 2015, but it remains the most disconnected country in the Americas.
[h3]4. Internet access in Cuba is censored.[/h3]
With access to internet so limited, online censorship is not that sophisticated in Cuba. Authorities frequently filter and intermittently block websites that are critical of the state. Limiting access to information in this way is a clear breach of the right to freedom of expression, including the right to seek, receive and impart information. 
[h3]5. Communicating with Cuban human rights activists from overseas is difficult.[/h3]
Amnesty International, along with many other independent international human rights monitors, including UN Special Rapporteurs, are not allowed to access Cuba. The landline, mobile and internet connections of government critics, human rights activists and journalists are often monitored or disabled. In the lead-up to Pope Benedict’s three-day visit to Cuba in September 2012, a communications blockade prevented Amnesty International and other international organizations from gathering information  on a wave of detentions that were taking place. Communicating with Cuban human rights activists remains challenging, particularly at times when the authorities are arresting people based on their political opinion.
[h3]6. Cubans are savvy about how to circumvent censorship and government restrictions to internet access. [/h3]
From underground Wi-Fi, to creating apps, to harnessing the power of USBs, Cubans are finding ways to share information and avoid cyber censorship. World Day against Cyber Censorship is a time to show solidarity with Cuban dissidents, activists, journalists andtheir struggle.

Amnesty International has joined with AdBlock on the World Day Against Cyber Censorship to raise awareness about the crackdown on free speech across the world. AdBlock is a tool that helps web users to block unwanted ads, and on 12 March 2016 it will replace banner ads with content censors in certain countries wouldn’t want people to see.
