Popular Post Knob Oddy Posted July 15, 2021 Popular Post #1 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Just hours after news of citizens being shot for protesting in Cuba, Black Live Matter (the organization) issued a statement supporting the communist regime and denouncing the USA's part in the protests. Quote Black Lives Matter has been accused of hypocrisy by ignoring the pleas for help from Cuba’s oppressed citizens — instead blaming the violent protests on US opposition to the Communist “revolution.” ........ “So wait, they support police brutality now?” talk radio host Dan O’Donnell asked, while another follower called it “bizarre” that a “group founded to counter police brutality can’t manage a word to criticize police brutality in Cuba.” ..... Giancarlo Sopo, a communication strategist who once worked on President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign, called the statement “disgusting.” “Despite the Cuban dictatorship’s murdering and beating of protestors (many of them Black), BLM’s statement on Cuba…condemns the U.S., praises the Castro regime, and makes no mention of the atrocities being committed by the dictatorship,” he tweeted. https://nypost.com/2021/07/15/blm-under-fire-for-defending-cuban-regime-blaming-protests-on-us/ So police brutality is bad. But black people being shot by communist regime police officers is fine, because communism. But black live matter is ONLY interested in black lives, not in promoting communism.... 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRIFT I'm not a big fan of calling anything "domestic terrorist" (even when they deserve it) considering citizens have rights and naming people and organizations terrorists removes those rights (thanks to the Patriot Act). I knew this was going to happen when GW Bush brought in the "temporary measures" after 9/11. Everyone was happy to have the laws to target the terrorists. And i was called a conspiracy theorist for saying that the terror laws would be used against citizens.

I mean, who really cares about the organization. You don't see people on this forum championing this organization. Kinda like back the blue...until we storm the capitol and attack the blue.

+susieice Posted July 16, 2021 #10 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Here's what BLM said. The Hill seems alright with it. It isn't even mentioned on CNN's website yet. https://thehill.com/policy/international/563186-black-lives-matter-calls-for-end-of-cuba-embargo Here's other reports. https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/news-columns-blogs/fabiola-santiago/article252801738.html https://www.foxnews.com/politics/aoc-omar-black-lives-matter-cuba https://nypost.com/2021/07/15/blm-under-fire-for-defending-cuban-regime-blaming-protests-on-us/ https://www.newsweek.com/why-black-lives-matter-defending-authoritarian-cuban-regime-opinion-1610283 Who actually put the embargo on Cuba? In February 1962, President John F. Kennedy proclaimed an embargo on trade between the United States and Cuba, in response to certain actions taken by the Cuban Government, and directed the Departments of Commerce and the Treasury to implement the embargo, which remains in place today.Cuba Sanctions - United States Department of State › cuba-sanctions Yahoo seems to at least have a clue. The embargo has been in place since 1962. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/black-lives-matter-blames-cuba-122530452.html?guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAGqWIh4xax_Qn7MLgJtghdUrUhr_3ab-SRZxUkLszqH-Ln2LieQ2eOeZp1pw67NhGFNuQay8ZVmz5leLJXMjGAsCQr0ynYsCQjm24PsIE64WQQmJF1UJwgGqbO3BJYjS4L2a-WxjG7MUr7WY7pjxjN4wxZPn75sl5xsye66GasCY&guccounter=2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papageorge1 Posted July 16, 2021 #11 Share Posted July 16, 2021 BLM has an anti-American and anti-White and anti-Police and probably anti-Capitalism bias in my mind. This Cuba commentary just reinforces my thought. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+OverSword Posted July 16, 2021 #20 Share Posted July 16, 2021 From the article: Quote Instead, it solely blamed the troubles on the US embargo, calling it a “cruel and inhumane policy” that was “instituted with the explicit intention of destabilizing the country and undermining Cubans’ right to choose their own government.” “The people of Cuba are being punished by the U.S. government because the country has maintained its commitment to sovereignty and self-determination,” BLM said in the statement first given to a Politico reporter. “United States leaders have tried to crush this revolution for decades,” the radical left-wing group complained. I understand what they are saying, that Cuba could be more prosperous if we would trade with them and life would be better for the Cuban people. But the government that was allowing Russia to place nuclear weapons in Cuba to threaten the US is still in power. I will assume that the current leader of Cuba would have been one of Castro's favorite step children, well schooled in the ways of running a repressive regime and life long enemy of the USA. So why would we want to make life better for a government by making it's citizens happy that probably held a celebration on 9-11? Probably the leaders of BLM also held a celebration on 9-11. Whos cares what the organization BLM thinks? I say put them on a raft and see if Cuba will take them in. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the woke progressive whites, but the pro-Constitution, Bible believing, pro-military, pro-police whites including the people of color that believe in the same thing as domestic terrorists. That’s the class warfare in the coming cultural revolution. With what is about to happen here, what’s going on in Cuba will be forgotten. We will be involved in our own Venezuela or South Africa collapse. I wonder where we will be a year from now? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
