Cuba offers Black Americans/Latinos free 6 year Med School plus room and board

You don't consider Mulatto black? And you are basing your opinion just like me, from second hand info. You weren't born their(otherwise that would have been the first thing you posted in response to me) so miss me with that

Ive been there multiple times and Im going back later this year so I think I know what im talking about. My opinion on race changed because I live in the United States, the single handed most racist society in the West today. Im telling you what the country of my roots does with its demographics. But most ppl dont considers mulattos to be black, including a large number of darkskinned black folk. shyt my own cousin looks at me like when I talk that pro-black shyt. thats mainly here in the U.S. cuz of the one drop rule and how harsh the dominant white ethnic group was towards ppl of color, much worse than most other countries that practiced slavery. But take a look at somewhere like New Orleans for example, and all the names they have for the varying shades, thats what I was trying to explain to you.

they have none. just talking out the ass. there might be some CAC cubans who are racist on an individual level but institutional 'cism from the state? nah.

"One of the most just battles that must be fought, a battle that must be emphasized more and more, which I might call the fourth battle--the battle to end racial discrimination at work centers. I repeat: the battle to end racial discrimination at work centers. Of all the forms of racial discrimination the worst is the one that limits the colored Cuban's access to jobs. "Castro pointed to the distinction between social segregation and employment, while placing great emphasis on correcting the latter. In response to the large amount of racism that existed in the job market, Castro issued anti-discrimination laws. In addition, he attempted to close the class gap between wealthy white Cubans and Afro-Cubans with a massive literacy campaign among other egalitarian reforms in the early and mid-1960s. Two years after his 1959 speech at the Havana Labor Rally, Castro declared that the age of racism and discrimination was over. In a speech given at the Confederation of Cuban Workers in observance of May Day, Castro declared that the "just laws of the revolution ended unemployment, put an end to villages without hospitals and schools, enacted laws which ended discrimination, control by monopolies, humiliation, and the suffering of the people.

There's always going to be something, tbh. Whether it's educated in the Western sense or not.

People love to hate the "other" guy. Whether it's based on race, religion, or ethnicity


edit: sn. if you see the reports, there were places that the Mulato Cuban president couldn't go because he wasn't white...

The US racial caste system definitely made it so other black immigrants automatically also tend to throw mulattos in the mix, because really they were treated and brutalized in the same way. My family is Louisiana Creole on my dads side, my grandma told me her grandmother was technically a free "mulatta", but they ended up telling her that they would put her in prison if she didn't subject herself to a medical experiment. The same things that happened to regular "negros". And they had no basic rights of citizenship. You had one drop, it don't matter. You're tainted. But with the rest of the diaspora, y'all recognize its a difference.


And I have to say anywhere white people are, especially the "educated", racism follows.

yall do realize the reason white cubans fled cuba was because castro was making things easier for his minorities right

but this is the coli where every country hates black people. weird tho, cause yall sound scared, but live in the most racist country of them all.

makes too much sense

@wire28 @theworldismine13

under no circumstances should anybody do this, its hard enough trying to be a doctor by going the caribbean route with countries that are friendly with the us and teach in english

not to mention a lot of actual cuban doctors have problems passing the us examination when they come to the us

I think in their unconscious that they're just scared sh*tless to travel....

also getting an MD and being able to practice medicine in the US are 2 very different things, if you cant pass the board exams you cannot practice medicine

 

[Solomon Caine]

If anyone isn't aware of what Cuba/Castro has done for Africans and black people in general. I suggest they go read their history.

to Comrade Fidel

Are the board exams that difficult? Is there any prejudice against ppl who travel out of the country who come back and try to get the license? Let us know breh

 

[Tommy Knocks]

free medical school and you are complaining? there's so many africans here in china studying medicine, because its cheaper.

it is true tho, its pretty hard to pass the U.S exam, my lil brother is an anesthesiologist, he went to hell and back at UCLA, even my british doctor said the U.S is hands down the hardest he went through, UK and Canada close second (was surprised to hear about canada since a lot of their students come to america, but i think the pay is better thats why)

But here's the thing......why not become a doctor in cuba then go to black countries like congo to help them out instead? yall talk about "if there's employment ill go back to africa" well they need LOADS of doctors, you have a skill in high demand, no excuse to be afraid to pick an african country and go.

when I went to venezuela I saw a lot of black doctors in the free clinics Chavez put up near the favelas. My cab driver said they were making good cheese too, a lot of them didnt even go back to cuba, they just stayed and got married. I figure they go from cuba to venezuela to help other black latinos. we have an endless supply of doctors in the U.S. might as well help out your own else where.
