Racism in Cuba is centered around discrimination of Cuban blacks and mulattoes. Though the Cuban census registers that 65% of the population is white, foreign figures report an estimate of the number of whites at anywhere from 20 to 35 percent; the independent estimates say that the majority of Cubans are black or mulatto.[1][2][3] The country has been headed by a white leader (Fidel Castro staying in power for half century) since the country's only mulatto leader (Fulgencio Batista) was overthrown. The Economist says that, although the population is now mainly black or mulatto and young, its rulers form "a mainly white gerontocracy".[2]
How is argentina by far the most racist country of blacks in south america when they ended slavery like 70 years before Brazil?
I'll take a nation beliving they are europeans over a nation implying africans are inferior anyday
Just because a country ends slavery doesn't make it less racist. They probably did it to prevent having any black people in their country, just as Mexico did.
there was an argentinian white guy who's now in the army working as a lawyer who posted here a few times who was on some racial equality shit
i dont know if yall remember him - we clowned the shit outta him and i had to rip him because of the bullshit post-racial south america fuckery he kept spouting
racism is alive and well on every fuckin continent and adherence to a political/economic/religious system doesn't exclude anyone from being a racist or doing racist shit
i think racism is overplayed though- mufuckas who look the same but come from a different side of a gulley, river, mountain etc will kill each other for thousands of years for nothing yet we are supposed to be amazed when people who look and act nothing alike want to merk each other for being different?
cmon
humans aint shit get over it

"how the fuck do i get this sticker off my laptop with out using water"
"how the fuck do i get this sticker off my laptop with out using water"
Well there was already an established black population at that point(hell even Buenos Aires was a black city). It was the black man that made Argentina what is today
Africans
The black population in Argentina declined since the early nineteenth century to insignificance. But during the colonial era, Afro Argentines composed a third of the population, most of them slaves brought from Africa to work for the criollos. In 1813 the Freedom of Wombs Law was passed, which automatically freed slaves' children at their birth within the Argentine territory, but during the following wars of independence many black citizens were forcefully recruited and used as front-line soldiers. This drastically reduced the male population of this ethnic group.

Wrong you dumb faggot. Castro's whole thing is racial equality in Cuba. Batista was the racist. Castro was the one who actually gave a fuck about the Blacks of Cuba and in the US. Get your facts strait you faggot ass tranny posting trick.
ahhhh the acetone conundrum
the student is undoubtedly a freshman and is unfortunate enough to own a non-mac laptop (since apple loves humanity enough to not put fucktard stickers on laptops). the student is not a tranny and has no knowledge of nail polish remover or chemistry. he does not yet understand that acetone may will remove the adhesive of the sticker but if his laptop is a real piece of shit he may remove some finish from the laptop as well.
Sounds like what happens to POOR people in every war right?(including ours right now)
while castro elevated blacks in cuba above their fate of being on par with Haitians (uneducated, poor, field hands) he's hardly been all about equality. A predominately black cuba is ruled by predominately fair skinned hispanics.
same thing can be said about ghandi...he was racist too
no one should be suprised about che...he is seen as a symbol of revolution in general, it's unfortunate that some people interalize it without checking their history.

its not just a matter of poor people in argentina's case
oh yeah? so many black males are drafted that casualties affect the population in a large way?
disprove castro being a racist
Which is why I kept asking the OP for a link. I agree that Argentinians can be some racist mofos, but at the same time, I would take anything anyone posts with a grain of salt, especially if they don't provide a (credible) link. Wikipedia and slanted websites don't count.
again, where's the link? Remember people, the OP is a 15 Day trial member (and quite possibly an FTP) who shouldn't even be taken serious without a link.
Agreed. How about the critical role of Juan Almeida Bosque among the Granma veterans.
That's Almeida next to Che as the revolutionaries gather in Havana for the first time in 1959.
From The New York Times: "Mr. Almeida, the Castro brothers and Ernesto Guevara, an Argentine known as Che, were among only 16 who survived the landing, in which most of the rebels were killed by government troops.
“No one here gives up!” Mr. Almeida shouted to Guevara at the time, giving the Cuban revolution one of its most lasting slogans and ensuring his place in Cuban Communist history. As a guerrilla leader, Mr. Almeida later headed his own front of military operations in eastern Cuba."
From The Independent (UK): "When Fidel Castro, Ché Guevara and a ragtag band of revolutionaries trundled victoriously into Havana on 8 January 1959, Juan Almeida's was the only black face at the head of their convoy. To the majority of the Cuban capital's residents – poor, black or mulatto (mixed race) – the sight of a black man in one of the leading jeeps was a comforting signal that the revolution would finally give them a voice."

Esteban Morales DomĂnguez, a professor in the University of Havana, says that "The absence of the debate on the racial problem already threatens . . . the revolution's social project".[6] Carlos Moore, who has authored extensive on the issue, says that "There is an unstated threat, blacks in Cuba know that whenever you raise race in Cuba, you go to jail. Therefore the struggle in Cuba is different. There cannot be a civil rights movement. You will have instantly 10,000 black people dead".[6] He says that a new generation of black Cubans are looking at politics in another way.[6] Barack Obama's victory has raised disturbing questions about the institutional racism in Cuba.[1] The Economist noted "The danger starts with his example: after all, a young, black, progressive politician has no chance of reaching the highest office in Cuba, although a majority of the island’s people are black."[7]
There were multiple wars, and that poster also fails to mention that a great deal of the population were decimated by cholera epidemics. Add that along with miscegenation and not a steady stream of new people from africa, and you will notice that the faces will start to get lighter.

History would say.. Well, George Bush had Condi Rice.. Does that mean George Bush liked black folk? Or they needed a token negro with no responsibilities in order for black people (the majority of Cuba) to say, right on massa!
i believe some of those quotes are from
Maybe I missed something, but the 1st Vice President and the Vice President of Cuba both look like white Cubans to me.
Naw man... Argentinians are a special breed... doesnt even compare to the the other countries you mentioned...Argentinians stand alone in that regard... and a state decision to abolish slavery is just that.. a decision by the State.. makes no statement about the sentiment of the people. Argentinians, for the most part, are at the high end of the scale for racism in latin america..
no doubt i havent heard of racial cleansing in argentina although that wouldnt surprise me either
also i dont see any numbers on what the actual black population in argentina was before and after these wars/conflicts
a smaller number of people is more easily impacted
But let us talk about NOW.
Have you ever been to Argentina
There are hardly any black people in that country... I rarely saw black people in Buenos Aires and have actually had black friends who visited there tell experiences of people stopping their cars to take a picture because it was so rare to see black people there...
Argentina is about as homogeneous as it gets for a Latin American country
i believe some of those quotes are from
How can these quotes (about revolution) be from :"The Motorcycle Diaries" when that was a chronicle of Ernesto Guevara's first experience leaving his home and traveling Latin America?
you'll find a black chief justice in cuba and a few others scattered around but its mostly fair skinned latinos
if castro was so progressive and non-racially biased i dont see how the leadership would be almost entirely white on an island with the racial makeup cuba has
I always thought it was a class thing with Castro, more so than a color thing.
