#2 It's not the color of skin racism - it's about those fucking ears and WTF is that on his nose?!

#3 Take a deep breath, LBFR. Maybe go out for a walk and get some fresh air. You're overheating.

#4 If by "racism" he means "a deep distaste for Marxist ideology", then he'd be right.

But El Jefe probably didn't mean that.

#5 Funny how it's always the white people who are called racists when all they want is a level playing field. I'm a racist because I think affirmative action is unfair...I'm a racist because I want a secure border...I'm a racist because I blame Barney Frank and his sub prime mortgages for our current financial crisis...I'm a racist because I cringe at the thought of Barack Obama and old Fidelito meeting at the White House...blah, blah, blah.

#6 castro runs a pretty white-bread, all spanish/european dictatorship, with IIUC blacks & mixed races careful kept away from the higher strata of power... so even if he pushes all the right buttons by talking about rrrraaacccism, he's very ill-suited to do so, or would be in a world that would make sense.
As an OT aside, it reminds me that in the Godfather II (I think), Baptista is shown as an aryan blond, most probably one of those south-american nazi refugees, while in fact he was black. Even a couple decades back, hollywood had castro's back covered, racism-wise.

#7 Fidel Castro says a "profound racism" in the United States will stop millions from voting for Barack Obama in next month's presidential election.

For the first time in my adult life I hope Fidel is right.

#9 By this time next month he will be proven wrong, and thereby showing the world just how irrelevent he has become. Obama will win, and will more likely than not, be a two term president. This country has had it's sea change, and now begins its decline.
