Was Ernesto "EL CHE" Guevara a Racist?

Why is Che there? He was all CAC and didn't write very nice things about Africans. Things you would know if you actually read about his life.

Didn't he just say that Africans wouldn't listen to him because he was white so he had a bunch of afro-cubans with him when he went to Africa. Don't see the problem

You haven't read either.

"We're going to do for blacks exactly what blacks did for the revolution. By which I mean: nothing

The Negro is indolent and lazy, and spends his money on frivolities, whereas the European is forward-looking, organized and intelligent.

There is more.

This state of affairs must not continue. Once again we speak out to put the world on guard against what is happening in South Africa. The brutal policy of apartheid is applied before the eyes of the nations of the world. The peoples of Africa are compelled to endure the fact that on the African continent the superiority of one race over another remains official policy, and that in the name of this racial superiority murder is committed with impunity. Can the United Nations do nothing to stop this?

The time will come when this Assembly will acquire greater maturity and demand of the U.S. Government guarantees for the life of the blacks and Latin Americans who live in that country, most of them U.S. citizens by origin or adoption.

Those who kill their own children and discriminate daily against them because of the color of their skin; those who let the murderers of blacks remain free, protecting them, and furthermore punishing the black population because they demand their legitimate rights as free men — how can those who do this consider themselves guardians of freedom? We understand that today the Assembly is not in a position to ask for explanations of these acts. It must be clearly established, however, that the government of the United States is not the champion of freedom, but rather the perpetrator of exploitation and oppression against the peoples of the world and against a large part of its own population.

All free men of the world must be prepared to avenge the crime of the Congo. Perhaps many of those soldiers, who were turned into sub-humans by imperialist machinery, believe in good faith that they are defending the rights of a superior race. In this Assembly, however, those peoples whose skins are darkened by a different sun, colored by different pigments, constitute the majority. And they fully and clearly understand that the difference between men does not lie in the color of their skin, but in the forms of ownership of the means of production, in the relations of production. The Cuban delegation extends greetings to the peoples of Southern Rhodesia and South-West Africa, oppressed by white colonialist minorities; to the peoples of Basutoland, Bechuanaland, Swaziland, French Somaliland, the Arabs of Palestine, Aden and the Protectorates, Oman; and to all peoples in conflict with imperialism and colonialism. We reaffirm our support to them.

Che's Speech at UN, 1964

can you post more then one liners from st0rmfr0nt, please

 

[newarkhiphop]

actions speak louder than words

why would a man who "hates" black go travel half way across the world to fight and possibly die with them

or what does he gain from giving this speech

. During his impassioned address, he criticized the United Nations' inability to confront the "brutal policy of apartheid" in South Africa, asking "Can the United Nations do nothing to stop this?" Guevara then denounced the United States policy towards their black population, stating:
"Those who kill their own children and discriminate daily against them because of the color of their skin; those who let the murderers of blacks remain free, protecting them, and furthermore punishing the black population because they demand their legitimate rights as free men—how can those who do this consider themselves guardians of freedom?"

As you should know there are alot of quotes misappropriated through out history, can you link me to these specific quotes, googling them brings up sites such as st0rmfr0nt, Fox news, Hotair and Glen becks sites without proper references of their origins.

and your first quote has been attributed to Fidel Castro, as well.

 

[newarkhiphop]

Obama said in his book he smoked weed and did coke before, does that make any talk he gives about the drug "war" or anti drug use totally invalid?

Malcolm x said he he hated crackers early on his life , does that make him a racist? would that mean he hates people who are half black half white?

right cause he had Afro-Cubans and other Afro South Americans that fought beside him considered his brothers. Some People take things out of context and make it personal...it's false.

I will when I get home tonight. Is that okay?

I'm not surprised those sites have that posted, it furthers their agenda. I have no agenda against Che. He's probably my favorite "historical" person, and I respect a lot of what he represented, but the man is by no means a saint.

Are the French noble because of what they did in Mali?

the second quote he put is a actual che quote from one of his diary's during his first motorcycle trip when he drove along a coastal Afro Venezuelan slum, its in che biography , the full quote is this

"The black is indolent and a dreamer; spending his meager wage on frivolity or drink; the European has a tradition of work and saving, which has pursued him as far as this corner of America and drives him to advance himself, even independently of his own individual aspirations.

thing is in Spanish the quote does not come off as racist, and it's not, he is making a observation about the people he saw there, which he happened to be black, the word he used to describe them a lot people translate it and use the word "lazy" with it, but a closer translation is "care free"

when you look at it that, way che was just making a comparison of two different sets of people
