Cuban State Media: ‘Negro’ Obama ‘Incited Rebellion and Disorder’

I would agree with this statement is by "They" you meant brutal authoritarian dictators. They hate capitalism.

They hate "vulture Capitalism/Corporatism" and it is not the same as Capitalism!

No, the Castro brothers hate capitalism, their economy IS vulture capitalism. The Castro brothers are the epitome of vulture capitalists.

Why is the dictator of the small, Communist state of Cuba worth nearly a billion dollars? Because he feeds on the corpse of his failed state.
 
Just imagine what would happen if a Republican stood on the floor of Congress and uttered the word "negro" and "Obama" in the same sentence.
 
Back to the OP, and what many see as racist could be a holdover from Che. The liberal icon hated "negros".

Does everyone here know that roughly over half of all blacks in this country over the age of say....35? have the word "Negro" on their birth certificate under race?

Are you aware that most (anecdotal I'll admit, but I've interacted with the black community meaningfully for over 30-35 years)who don't identify themselves as "Nigga" don't mind the word "Negro" as both are not the same in their eyes as "Nigger"?

All this outside the fact that the spanish word for "black" is "negro/negra"

The only people who should find this offensive are the Unthinking Left, self loathing white people who just can't bear the atrocities they've never committed...

Who here found it "offensive"?

And to make matters worse, while the Castros are rich, the minimum wage in Cuba is $0.05/hour.

Its most likely around actually 11 cents an hours. But its also leaving out many other extremely important variables like cost of living, government subsidies, little to no taxes, gov programs offered to all Cubans.

"Despite the average wage in Cuba looking like it is extremely low by western standards, we must now factor in the actual cost of living in Cuba. As most people know, Cuba does not have a capitalist economic system. The fact is that the country is communist/socialist, meaning that most workers work for the state and they receive low monetary salaries, but the state provides for them in different ways. We can take a look at some of these economic subsidies to see how they influence buying power for the average Cuban.

-Cubans get free food allowances and are allowed to purchase additional rations of staple foods at cost price from government run bodegas and depots.
-Cuban utility bills are all highly subsidized. The monthly phone, electricity, and gaz bill is only about $2, which is basically nothing when compared to western bills.
-All medical coverage is provided free by the government.
-Gasoline is sold as subsidized costs.
-Education is completely free, even for older people wanting to return to school just for a few classes.
-Beer, alcohol, food is all sold by the state at cost or near cost.
-Rental rates for properties are controlled and most Cubans own their own homes.
-Property taxes and goods and service taxes are zero." Is Cuba A Poor Country? What is the Average Salary? - Best Cuba And Havana Guidebook

LOL! Happy Cuba propaganda page! Someone how there is a steady stream of Cubans risking their lives on rafts to flee such a wonderful place. :roll:

I also like how they try to sell subsidized everything as a good solution to a full time income of $19.00 a month. What is the quality and availability of the food in these government run bodegas? How much does gasoline actually cost? What is the quality of the homes? I mean, is it really a selling point if most of the homes are all corrugated tin shacks?

I was simply pointing out that your posted link does not go into as depth and now your pointing out that my post does not goes as in depth... Maybe we should both research the issue, shall we?

Useless list of feel goods that don't actually address real problems in an effort to make things appear not as bad as they really are? Yeah, that's propaganda.

No, your post doesn't go into depth. It makes unqualified statements and purposely vague claims so that people who support communist dictators can get warm fuzzies.

Even you evidence strongly indicates that Cuba is a ****-hole. They seem to think that crappy government handouts changes that.

And again, your source actually provides no real variables. Saying the government provides free food and houses says nothing of the quality of the food and housing. Cuba sucks and people risk their lives to leave. I'm still laughing that you countered my citation of $0.05/hour with a pro-Cuba site that says the average Cuban makes a whole $0.11 per hour. :lamo

And somehow a free hovel and government cheese makes that all better. :roll:

You can label their government however you want, I was just pointing out some other variable you chose to leave out.

Face it, Cuba is a giant monopolistic corporation with a near billionaire as a CEO and his employees make between $0.05 and $0.11 cents an hour and some credit at the company store. It is no different that living under a 19th century robber baron. The only difference is it is a government run hell hole so you feel compelled to defend it.

Because you and the rest of the US has an issue with "negro" you figure everyone does.

"negro does not carry the same connotation it does in the US and is not an insult.
