[Iran Press TV Latest] Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro has accused US right-wingers of being racists, saying they hate President Barack Obama because he is Black. "I don't have the slightest doubt that the racist right will do everything possible to wear him down, blocking his program to get him out of the game one way or another," he wrote in a column published on Tuesday. "The extreme right hates him [Obama] for being African-American and fights what the president does to improve the deteriorated image of that country," Castro added.
The former Cuban president also said that Obama does not want to change the US political and economic system. Obama had inherited many problems from his predecessor, George W. Bush, and was trying to resolve them, according to Castro. However, the "powerful extreme right won't be happy with anything that diminishes their prerogatives in the slightest way." |
