Will We Stay "STUCK" In The PAST??
CUBA is an Island, 90-miles off-shore from Key West, Florida. Actually, it is a POPULATION of Opressed People, treated badly by Historic Figures from the time of Columbus; to Batista and the Castros; to include the United States of America.
"Cubans" are known by two definitions; "Calle-Ocho" Miami-ans; "political gameballs' for Right-Wing Repoobs, and, the darker-skinned, inhabitants of the Island of Cuba. This second group, by far, a "real" definition of Cuba and the Cubans; are those people on the Island, who, historically, and today, have never had a voice of their own. They have been, for centuries, in the cross-hairs of white, male Europeans, their Lackeys, and their "progeny", (since 1492).
President Obama, today, lifted those who inhabit the Island, up, and out of the shadows, as he began his policy, to move this nation and that island, away from its disastrous, 50-year Embargo of Cuba. The Calle-Ocho bunch, survivors of the Dictator, Batista, are having a 'hissy-fit"!. Batista, a racist, so insecure in his "off-white" skin color, that he carried around a small tin of white facial powder, represented a long line and a longer history of "Oligarchs", or Latin Rulers who benefitted from the Racist Ruling System instituted and held in place for half a Millenia by Catholic Popes and Crowned Heads of Europe.
White males from Europe have been the "scourge" of black and Native Americans for centuries!
Now they roam the world searching for minor "conquests". Right-wing Repoobs and their captive "Cubans" strive to hold on to that past. Florida Cubans dream of Restoration of the Batista past, and the Properties they lost. Tom Wolfe's book; Back To Blood is a good description of what I observed as the relations between Miami Cubans, and American Blacks and Haitians between 2003 and 2005.
The non-Cuban variety shows up on our nation's police forces as "rogue" Cops; who hunt and kill their black and brown victims; knowing they will be "protected" by white practitioners of The LAW!
Stay Vigilant! Today is just the beginning of a long process of unraveling. It will be interesting to see how the citizens of the Island of Cuba respond over the coming decades. Hopefully, there will be a long and much brighter future for all of us.
