Cuba protests against the Communist regime

Deserves it's own thread. Have you been following? Probably not, since the US Liberal Media either soft sells, or simply does not report on anything that puts Communism in a bad light.

CUBAN STATE SECURITY ARRESTS REPORTER IN MIDDLE OF NEWS BROADCAST​

You may have a useless progressive cousin dumb enough to believe "real" communism hasn't been tried yet. Tie them to a chair, strap their eyelids open, and force them to A Clockwork Orange everything that's happening in Cuba. That's communism. That's socialism. That's ACTUAL authoritarianism. It's not tweeting mean things about the press. It's a government so large they ARREST reporters live on air. As happened to Cuban reporter Dina Stars in the middle of a Spanish news broadcast.

Or, she was "detained" at least. I'm sure state security just took Stars for a frappuccino and some casual conversation.

Palmetto Expressway in SW Miami-Dade, Hialeah cleared after demonstrators march in support of Cuba’s recent protests​

SOUTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - Authorities have cleared demonstrators from the Palmetto Expressway in Southwest Miami-Dade and in Hialeah, who marched in support of the Cuban people and their recent protests, causing the roadways to be shut down for hours.

The Hialeah surge happened at around 9:30 p.m., just around when Miami-Dade Police and Florida Highway Patrol troopers had reopened the expressway in Southwest Miami-Dade.

“What does it mean for me? For my family to have freedom,” a Hialeah protester said. “My family needs freedom. They need food. I hope this is the end of a long awaited time that we’ve been needing this forever. For as long as I remember, I’m 38 years old, and my family has been going through so much, and we’re sick of this!”

Protesters were first seen on the highway near Coral Way and Southwest 32nd Street chanting “Libertad!” and holding signs, at around 1 p.m., Tuesday.

'NO ONE WHO ESCAPED IT WANTS TO GO BACK': CYPRESS HILL FRONTMAN DROPS TRUTH ON COMMUNISM​

A friend of mine who is famous with extreme metal fans (he was in Malevolent Creation, Solstice, Demolition Hammer, etc), and happens to be 2nd generation Cuban-American. I also have 1st generation Cuban friends who feel the same. BLM and the current Commie loving Dems are on the wrong side of history.

Another Cuban friend posted this. Somewhat surprising this made it to Yahoo News.

Afro-Cuban lives don’t matter to the shameful leaders of Black Lives Matter

Now I have the answer to the question I’ve been asking for months.

Why doesn’t the Black Lives Matter movement care that Afro Cubans are being beaten, arrested, and jailed — and after Sunday’s historic protests in Cuba, also killed — for the “crime” of demanding the basic human right to free expression?

How can a movement supposedly dedicated to seeking justice turn a blind eye to what’s going on in Cuba, as if those batons, choke holds, and bullets weren’t used on Black people?

The regrettable, shameful answer came Wednesday night on the organization’s official Instagram page: Because the organization’s leadership stands solidly behind Cuba’s oppressive, white-led Communist regime.

Simply put, Black Cuban lives don’t matter to BLM.

Ideology is what counts, and BLM leaders remain firmly aligned with a discredited oppressive regime that crushes its people, millions of them Black or mixed-race. They remain faithful even though the dissident Cuban left — and, prominently, Afro Cubans — are leading the call for freedom and change.

Using the same tactic and the same words as the Cuban regime, BLM blames all the failures of the 62-year-old dictatorship on the United States.

Instead of condemning the treatment of Afro Cubans, they condemn the U.S. embargo as the cause of what’s happening in Cuba.

“Black Lives Matter condemns the U.S. federal government’s inhumane treatment of Cubans and urges it to immediately lift the embargo,” the statement says. “This cruel and inhumane policy, instituted with the explicit intention of destabilizing the country and undermining Cubans’ rights to choose their own government, is at the heart of Cuba’s current crisis.”

Afro Cubans promptly reacted with a deep sense of pain and betrayal.

“I am Black & Cuban and deeply hurt by the #BLM statement on Cuban protests,” Odette Casamayor-Cisneros, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, wrote on Twitter. “They are blind and deft [sic] to the Cuban ppl, to their demands. With whom is their solidarity? Certainly not with the people in the streets. LISTEN to us.

Cubans in Cuba are more patriotic about the USA than Democrats are.



Asking for military intervention too. That's Communism for you.
