U.S. Isolated On Cuban Trade Embargo



At last the media openly admits that U.S. foreign policy on Cuba is driven solely by Cuban exiles in Miami, not the vast majority of the American people.

I am part of an entire generation that has never been allowed to buy a cuban cigar (openly), sit on a cuban beach, or listen to Cuban music all day. My life might have turned out differently had I been able to visit Cuba in my youth.

African-Americans and all African people have a deep love for Cuba.

Cubans freely embrace their African roots. They came to the assistance of the ANC in South Africa, SWAPO in Namibia, and Angola resulting in independence for three African nations. Fidel Castro was one of the first to recognize and support Nelson Mandela while imprisoned, and one of the first to greet him upon his release.

The United States supported the apartheid government in South Africa and UNITA forces in Angola in an effort to not only maintain apartheid, but expand it.

Maybe it's the Cubans who are boycotting us!
