There's this KCNA article which has awful homophobic comments
-
This KCNA article which compares Obama to a "black monkey"
- This article** does analysis which states that the monkey comparison was merely referring to being a "trickster" which ignores:
- This KCNA article which is the worst of them all. The racist comparisons are unmistakable in my opinion.
**The aforementioned analysis article has what I find to be pretty unconvincing excuses for the homophobic comments, the quote, "a disgusting old lecher" is not properly addressed.
I'm willing to hear any possible explanations. I don't know what's going on.
Cuba had direct efforts from leadership, with Fidel's own granddaughter Mariela Castro as a major leader of the movement and making the push that it needed top-down support.
She has been absolutely instrumental in Cuba, without her I genuinely do not think things would be where they are today. There simply would not have been the support or leadership from the very top, it would have been a grassroots battle and a hard one at that.
