The Havana Tribune, a state-controlled Cuban newspaper, has added insult to injury following Fidel Castro’s scathing criticism of President Barack Obama upon his departure from the island. In an editorial, the title of which refers to President Obama as “negro,” an opinion columnist has accused him of “inciting rebellion.”
The article is titled “Negro, ¿Tu Eres Sueco?” which roughly translates to “Black Man, Are You Dumb?” (The idiom “pretend to be a Swede” means to play dumb, hence the title is literally asking, “Are you Swedish?”) The author, who is black, goes on to condemn President Obama for meeting with Cuban pro-democracy activists and “subtly” suggesting that the Cuban Revolution needed to change. “Obama came, saw, but unfortunately, with the pretend gesture of lending a hand, tried to conquer,” Elias Argudín writes.
“[Obama] chose to criticize and subtly suggest … incitations to rebellion and disorder, without caring that he was on foreign ground. Without a doubt, Obama overplayed his hand,” he continues. “The least I can say is, Virulo-style: ‘Negro, are you dumb?'”
Obama is getting taken to school by our enemies left and right.
Damn white Cubans don't like the change in the air.
Got the black ones writing nonsense for the regime smh.
How is this getting schooled?
The writer was Black. Buy hey, for the east coast liberal elite it's all about race all the time.Damn white Cubans don't like the change in the air.

'Negro' is Spanish for Black.
Obama looks Black to me. What is the problem?
If they had called him White we'd have something to talk about.
The brown Republican and his two white opponents would like to know.So when is the next time is the black attorney general and the white FBI director are going to discuss the old white presidential candidate's emails?
I'm oddly impressed they managed to insult both blacks and Swedes in just four words.
Hahahah some Cuban journalist writes an opinion article about inciting rebellion and this is your response.
Castro also bad-mouthed Obama after he left which is what the journalist is commenting on. So...
Hahahah, someone criticizes Obama's weak and ineffectual foreign policy that leads to humilations of our country and this is YOUR response.

I've heard hate filled Repulican Americans call him a hell of a lot worse. And a hell of a lot more often.

I tend to agree with the article. Obama visits and promotes "vulture capitalism/corporatism" and the Cubans reject the suggestion as absurd. I don't think they want USA bankers running their Nation and that is what happens after you start doing "business" with the USA. I don't want Nuclear Energy in my back yard. I don't want Monsanto in my back yard. I don't want Coal ash in my back yard. I don't wan't a Petro/chemical factory in my back yard. I don't want fracking in my back yard. I don't want Goldman Sachs/JPMorgan Chase/Federal Reserve Corporation in my back yard. Cuba, good cigars, rum, sugar, and Doctors whose specialty is not the Stock Market. Cuba, probably the lowest polluter in the World, for sure the Western hemisphere. Cuba, probably afraid Obama will try to fix Cuba like he fixed Libya, Syria, Iraq, Egypt, etc. Perhaps the Cubans can decide what is good for Cubans. They've done well withour our help so far. Actually, they've done well while the USA has conspired to work against the interests of Cuba and Cubans.
