And, yes, in the reality of the regular Cubans racism is a constant. Solidarian Americans do not feel it, see it or even notice it. They simply cannot! And they simply would not understand why they can’t.

Certainly, media distort this reality, too. It is extremely infrequent to see a bit of information which actually reflects reality as it is. Say, your own article, as well crafted as it is, denies reality by hiding the facts of daily life in Cuba, i.e, being black walking down Habana Vieja is not a walk in the clouds. The “land” given to farmers carries too many restrictions as for them to be able to produce anything at all, either.

Recent statements by Raul Castro support your idea: 50 years are not enough, looks like! How many then?

“Yet, one of the most disturbing new attacks against Cuba occurred late last year when a host of prominent African Americans signed on to a so-called “Declaration of African American Support for the Civil Rights Struggle in Cuba.”

Also please notice that the declaration was against CIVIL RIGHTS, equally violated by the Cuban Goverment regardless of race.

Please get your hands in a copy of the Cuban Constitution and compare the description in that document of the letter of the Law with the actual implementation of it. Afterwards, see if you can justify the present condition of the average Cuban citizen.
