...a President who is seen as a symbol of white dispossession: dispossession of white hegemony, white entitlement, white expectation, and white power, unquestioned and unchallenged from the darker skinned other.
Ah, yes, the Other. We benighted pre-post-modernists are all frightened to death of the Other, or at least three out of four undergraduate Sociology seminars has concluded. They better, their grades depend on it.
Unfortunately the assertion that enlightened places such as Cuba, being socialist and run by "people of color" are above all that, runs into a bit of a historical problem. Our author might want to recall that the last Cuban president "of color" was a fellow named Batista who was ousted by those evil white guys named Castro. If they had a problem with him being The Other they never put it in those terms but no doubt, being enlightened socialists, they'd be forgiven.
The really sad thing is that this sort of polysyllabic drivel is accorded any respect at all by self-styled intellectuals too intimidated by race to call it out for the nonsense that it is. Mr. Wise, you're a phony, a racist, and a fool.
