Not my fight, wish him/them the best
I really wish this lie would stop being told. I’ve already disproved this lie multiple times. And blanco not winning anyone over with that latinx white liberal talking points
It only exists in hotep online spaces by Americans posting comfortably from the reality of black Cubans and Cubans in general today. They can’t go to Cuba talking this mess. End up missing just for asking. Cuban government ain’t so pro communism especially when they allow remittances from abroad. They know that’s the only way the majority of their ppl eat. They also know if they removed that, their island would be in flames and another revolution would occur
I mean dude above equated expatriate Cubans sending metric tons of medical supplies/medicine weekly to the island to shortages in America during the pandemic. Not fully understanding Cuba has been in a damn pandemic since revolution . And yeh he typed that bullshyt from Miami or whatever
When you’re entire political ideology equates to “white man, so I’m glad” you basically forfeit all common sense.
EXCLUSIVE: Fidel Castro’s daughter, Alina Fernández, has emphasized to Deadline her endorsement of James Franco playing her Cuban leader revolutionary father in the upcoming independent feature, Alina of Cuba.
She is also proud that “the project is almost entirely Latino, both in front and behind the camera.”
“James Franco has an obvious physical resemblance with Fidel Castro, besides his skills and charisma,” said Fernández about the 127 Hours Oscar nominated actor of Portuguese heritage. Fidel Castro’s Daughter Expresses Support For James Franco As Cuban Leader In ‘Alina Of Cuba’
Im sorry, I agree with a bit of what you are saying but this is false. I’ve been all over Cuba and you will see black doctors, lawyers, teachers, casa particular owner, drivers of cars (very lucrative for a Cuban), business owners etc EVERYWHERE. Cuba is not segregated at all Or separated at all in the common sense. Other than the fact that some historically rich neighborhoods have more white people just because it was passed down to family members. But you see back people buying in no problem. Now everyone in Cuba is Fked in general but to say the revolution didn’t equalize things is silly.Your question is loaded. Are blacks better? I don’t know you would have to ask black Cubans on the ground, but when you do visit the only ones you’ll see are in positions of servitude. Nothing more and that’s in the tourist areas. It gets worse once you leave the Havana strip. Literacy and economic opportunities should coincide. In Cuba it doesn’t.

Cultural Appropriation but y'all remember when he played an Italian
EDIT:
Tariq already on it!
If you are white, you are white. The country you were born in or the language you speak doesn't determine your race.I didn’t know ricans were considered white at one time
I didn’t say it or enact the decision brehIf you are white, you are white. The country you were born in or the language you speak doesn't determine your race.
James Franco has that Iberian in him technically
It’s shocking people don’t know this as Hispanic is an extremely recent invention and is still causing confusio as it should. And it’s not that Puerto Ricans were white its that is was a nationality not a race. No one considered Roberto Clemente white he was black.I didn’t know ricans were considered white at one time
There’s been like 100 movies already thoughHe’s one of the most hated figures in American history. It’s a controversial subject to create a definitive depiction of when America still has hostilities with Cuba and his family is still in leadership. Very unexpected move.

Fidel is a good one. It’s a miniseries though.
