This is really low even for AP.

“end lingering prejudice and inequality”

hmmm. I thought that since Castro came to power Cuba was free of prejudice and inequality ....

We so rarely see BARF alerts these days. This could use a double.

Amalgamated Propaganda sure remains true to its agenda.

Yolanda Mauri has a technical degree from an elite university yet struggles to earn a living. I wonder if she ever thought it might be due to communism and not racism?

[Olog-hai]

This title was so blatantly agenda-driven, I figured the alert thereof was implied anyhow.

[Olog-hai]

The Castros are as driven to perpetuate racism and the fear thereof as their ideological brethren in the USA who are en route to visit them.

[depressed in 06]

Maybe, they can keep him?

[Argus]

Yolanda Mauri’s ancestors almost certainly came to Cuba in chains

And now she’s back in them.

[Tax-chick]

Thank you. We don’t need to be told what to think about an article.

[Dr. Ursus]

Castro,Obama,Sanders,Clinton,this is how they feel dark skinned blacks!

[Jimmy Valentine]

Remember always that the Castro brothers were not poor, downtrodden peasants. Their father was an executive with United Fruit. They were children of extreme ( white) privilege.

Some black Cubans have taken to affectionately referring to Obama as "el negro,"

Actually he's el halfricano.....

[Olog-hai]

None of the commie overlords were. They were always from well-to-do families.

[Mastador1]

Inspiration? So he is inspiring mulatto Cubans born in Kenya to become President of Cuba? But Cuba already has a dicktator.

They are probably impressed with ball point pens too.

[DoughtyOne]

[Secret Agent Man]

Cubans are muslims?

[SharpRightTurn]

“He’s a black man whose rise to the world’s most powerful job is a source of pride and inspiration.”

In other words, he may be a petty, commie tyrant, but he’s OUR petty, commie tyrant.

[duckworth]

Yes, Cuba should keep him and he should want to be kept. He can become a Cuban community agitator, and take Castro’s place. He can have his own country and transform it any way he wants. Stay Obama, Stay! Don’t come back to the land you hate, the land that has been so unfair to you!

[mulligan]

Inspiration to do what?
