Applauding a racist dictator while trying to call out others on their "INHERIT SUBCONSCIOUS BIASED MICROAGGRESSIVE RACISM" comes off as a bit too much.  |
For certain Che's conviction about equality for all was much stronger than his so called racist quotes
he wrote down when he was a young man.
In 1959, Che pushed for racially integrating the schools and universities in Cuba, years before they were racially integrated in the southern United States.
Che and Fidel also changed laws so that Afro Cubans could use the beach and parks along white Cubans.
Che's best friend was Afro Cuban Harry Pombo, who is still alive today and was with him till his death in Bolivia.
Che's work in Congo( where he was disappointed they were not invested in the revolution as he was)
Che's anti- racist speech at the UN in 1964.
He was not a racist dictator. He did not target and persecuted black people given his powerful position in Cuba in the 1950s when it was said he had a lot of people executed. You have no idea what a racist dictator is, because that is not part of his legacy at all.
Racist conservatives try to paint him as a racist supremacist but Che was not a hypocrite. If he was a racist supremacist, there would be more tangible evidence than what t he said when he was a young man.
This is the same Che who had to leave Cuba because he criticised the USSR and the same Che who got murdered because of his belief.
Don't come for Che.
(aka the "
". This already happened in the Castro thread.
