Kaepernick liked wearing a shit with his face on it while decrying how terribly oppressive the US is.Che Guevarra is one of those timeless "heroes" that has spanned every generation, class, age and gender since the 1960s.
For 60 years; millions of professors, protestors, political activists, students, celebrities, hippies, moms and dads wore his face.
Undoubtedly.....the most popular Communist of all time!

In view of your posting history. Nope.No, but I did have a Malcolm X T-shirt back in the day...does that count?
Popular not for his communism but for his revolution. People who grew up in the sixties admired the revolution against corporate exploitation and Mafia domination of the government. Bad as the Castro regime has been, the Batista era was just as bad or worse.Che Guevarra is one of those timeless "heroes" that has spanned every generation, class, age and gender since the 1960s.

Probably to somebody...During the depths of my misspent youth & garage-band days, I once wore a a t-shirt that said . . .
"Better Living Through Chemistry"
. . . and it had a . . .
"Rorer 714"
. . . picture on it.

Does that count for any credit?

Wanna hear a story about that? My wife and I were having dinner at a paladare in Havana. Paladares are private homes licensed to seat twelve customers for meals and they're you best choice. Every one we ate in was pushing that 'twelve' limit. Anyway, we finished our meal and took our bottle of wine out on the balcony to free up the table and chatted with a young architect who was working on restoring a building in Old Havana. Nearly overhead of a busy sidewalk in Havana, a steady flow of pedestrian traffic below, and this guy is telling us in no uncertain terms how much better Cuba will be when Fidel and all the revolutionaries die. We were a bit surprised.
A few days later we rented a car and drove off into the hinterland and stayed in a casa particulare in a small, old town called Trinidad. Cases particulaires are private homes with separate suites licensed to accept overnight tourists. We stayed with Marelli for three nights. She spoke of the revolution with great respect and put her hand over her heart when she said 'Che'. She was a black woman from rural Cuba who could remember how it used to be.
Nothing is just black or white.

No. I would just as soon wear a Lavrentiy Beria or a Klaus Barbie shirt as I would a shirt depicting that blood simple killer in a hagiographic light.
@Captain AdverseIn view of your posting history. Nope.
Was this during the 'no Americans in Cuba' period... from 1963 until well after Castro's death?Popular not for his communism but for his revolution.

Thanks.What a great story...I loved it...what year was that?
Believe me, the only thing Captain Adverse would have liked about Malcom X was his proposal that African Americans should return to Africa. It's really not that hard to figure out when you've been sailing with the 'Captain' for awhile.
Come on dude, read his post. Batista was in power then. Which would be well before 1963. Batista was pushed out of power by the Cuban Revolution in 1959.Was this during the 'no Americans in Cuba' period... from 1963 until well after Castro's death?
Actually; I asked a friend.*raises hand*
Everybody should have at least some misspent youth!
(I'm glad you got the reference)
The closest I got to a Che t shirt was wearing my Chewbacca one.

I never had the honor of meeting Dr. Martin Luther King; but I did meet Malcolm X twice due to the fact an uncle was a follower of his and had hosted some meetings of Malcolm's group in his apartment in Harlem N.Y.. I also met Angela Davis when I was living with my aunt's family in Watts, CA back in 1970.
He does not say he was there when Batista was in power... just that Batista was worse than Castro... there is no time frame.Come on dude, read his post. Batista was in power then. Which would be well before 1963. Batista was pushed out of power by the Cuban Revolution in 1959.
He should of stuck to football and let people who don't make $19-million a year, do the protesting.Kaepernick liked wearing a shit with his face on it while decrying how terribly oppressive the US is.
