...do you think Iggy Azalea wants a Grammy?
First things first, she's a realist.
Thank you for this prespective.
Actually the best assessment of why Cubans hated batista was given by castro himself: "Once there was a republic. It had its Constitution, its laws, its freedoms, President, Congress, courts; everyone could assemble, associate, speak and write with complete freedom...", from castro's History will Absolve Me speech.
Conservative Florida Cubans are a whole different animal than other Latino (Mexican/ Salvadoran, etc) voters, though. Virtually all of them believe, correctly or incorrectly, that their families were wealthy business owners, and Castro stole their birthright & forced them into poverty. They are very pro-Capitalism. …
It's not lost on me that the GOP, in an effort to win the Latino vote, is interested in a light-skinned, light-eyed Cuban.
I think it's become more of an issue because of immigration (obviously) and the fact that Cuba's state and influence has spanned two generations now. But you're right, the repubs come out during election season with spray tans trying to court the conservative Hispanic vote, then they get in office and oppose…
Everyone knows him. He's the WWE star who was in The Guardians of the Galaxy movie. 😀
They only seem to care about Latinos whenever elections come around whilst during the off-season claiming skinny Mexicans are running across the border with cantaloupe-sized bags of weed around each ankle.
I really don't want to get into a big debate here, so to stick directly to your point: Cuban-American's dislike of Castro is not tied in any way to their opinions of Batista. Not liking Option #2 doesn't mean you preferred keeping Option #1. As pointed out many of them supported Castro at first because they were…
The only scary thing about Castro was his willingness to let the Soviet Union operate a mere 90 miles from Florida. That threat has long since passed.
True.
The communist takeover wasn't very long ago for most people... my mother left Cuba in 69 and remembers her father being sent to a work camp for 2 years, catching and eating frogs for dinner when there was nothing else.
You're right that it's the trauma of fleeing and rebuilding your entire life that shaped many…
This country mainly hates Castro because he got rid of the dictator we liked.
So what you are saying is not only is the GOP only interested in Latino during elections, but also that they don't want them to get some decent cardio when running.
The level of fear mongering surrounding Castro is so silly. He's definitely no angel, but he's nowhere near being the comic book villain that the Right seems to think he is either.
I hate that fucking guy. And he's an embarrassment to Indian Americans. I always have to tell people he's not one of my people. I wish Chappelle's racial draft was real, we'd pawn him off on the Whites in a HEARTBEAT.
