A great man died

BA #100

Madison was smart enough to know there'd be tensions between State & feds.
Lord Acton noted that power corrupts.
It may.
But power also attracts the corruptible.
So before the 19th century they'd made at least perfunctory effort to acknowledge State authority, as well as traditional personal sovereignty.

I'll discuss it gladly.

Start from here .. African-Americans have been in the so-called 'land of the free' for over 400 years .. and we've only been relatively free for 51 years.

America is still an extremely racist nation.

What Cuba Can Teach America About Race
Color and African-ness are more complicated on that island than in our “land of the free.”

excerpt

Fidel Castro has been one of our hemisphere’s great, even historic leaders. He ended many of the blatant discriminatory practices that existed in pre-Revolutionary Cuba and he made a brand out of his rapport with militant black leaders in the United States. Perhaps the most famous manifestation of that is the photo of Fidel having a face-to-face exchange in Harlem with the militant black American leader Malcolm X, who would be assassinated four years later. Castro would go on to send troops to Angola in Africa, where they fought for years against a faction supported by the white racist government of South Africa.

Many today say the world, with U.S. complicity, have failed to recognize the positive role played by Communist Cuba in the end of racial apartheid in South Africa.

That article is talking about racism in Cuba, how about discussing that? Even the New York Times is aware of it but apparently you are not!

How did you miss that? That not only talks about race in Cuba, it also talks about Castro the man .. where his heart was. He took his efforts to promote better race relations all over the world.

If I'm not mistaken, you're a Trump supporter .. and if you are indeed a Trump supporter, you don't give a damn about better race relations here or in Cuba. Just wondering where your standing was to talk about race in Cuba.

Take a look at these pictures ..

Those are ex-Cubans celebrating Castro's death in Miami. Notice what color they are. They hated Castro BECAUSE of his efforts to create better race relations in Cuba .. and the first thing they did when they arrived in this country was rush to join the all-white party .. counter to what the vast majority of Hispanics have done. White Cuban-Americans are among some of the most racist people on the planet.

There is absolutely no question that Castro sought better race relations in Cuba .. and those relations are better in Cuba now then perhaps in anytime in Cuba's history. There is NO question that black Cubans and black people around the world acknowledges his gallant efforts.

Yet you seem to believe that because he didn't solve all race problems that he should be somehow condemned. :0)

.. even though you live in a racist nation that denied its black population even the most basic human rights for 350 of our 400+ years here. You're probably older that African-Americans have had basic civil rights in this country .. and you exist in the virtually all-white political right, the home for racists.

If you assume this is something the Left doesn't want to talk about, you assume too much.

I worked in Nigeria for about 18 months. Now they are racist among themselves like son of a bitches. Blank Panthers and KKK has nothing on them folks. They HATE other people from other tribes. I was fucked from day one because I had no idea what in the hell they were bitching about one person or the other and tribes and shit. Them folks kill each other over nothing more than what tribe they come from.
Go to Central America. Fucking Belizeans HATE Guatemalans.
On and ON and On........Hate/Racism is not unique to one country nor one people.

For it be racism, the other side has to be of another race.

What you're talking about is tribalism .. which to your point, is not unique to any race or culture.

Proof that we are not yet a fully evolved species.

Your right. But I'll tell you it was intense. We had a manager in one of our plants there that was from a tribe up north. We literally had to get him out with body guards.

I'm not disagreeing with what you're saying brother. The goal is to make it better for our children and future generations.

Sometimes that which divides people is so superficial it's almost invisible. Race makes it visible.

One reason that I applaud and defend Castro is because he tried, and succeeded in making it better .. and truth is on my side.

He is the lesser of two evils, I am willing to see how he does unlike you. We like that he wants to put the UK at the front of the queue for trade deals unlike Obama and Clinton.

I am not the only one that thinks Cuba is racist, so does Henry Gates! What else can you call a country that has puts your skin colour and ethnicity on ID cards? Also why is the Cuban government composed almost entirely of whites?

Yup. I and many around here voted against Hillary/Obumbo policies and not for Trump per se. Hell I know 2 liberals (and I mean Austin hard core liberals) that voted for Trump. They were Sanders folks and were pissed @ Hitlery.

India and China are probably the two most racist countries on the planet. The caste system in India is still very much alive and kicking.
