So is it the embargo that keeps Cuban citizens imprisoned on their island? Is it the embargo that allows American citizens to send $2 billion each year to Cuba from the U.S.? That’s right and guess how much of that is stolen by the Cuban regime? The fact remains that there wasn’t really an embargo with Cuba ever because the Cuban govt has profited considerably from the money sent by families from the U.S. while using the embargo as the excuse for failing their citizens. #soscuba while I agree with you that the embargo is a failed policy, one can’t negate the fact that it has never really been fully implemented.
#SOSCuba is trending on Twitter and I figure it’s only a matter of time before it ends up here so friendly reminder that if you’re NOT Cuban and especially if you ARE American if your idea on how to “help Cuba” doesn’t begin and end with calling for the end of the US blockade on Cuba that literally every country in the world supports ending except for the United States and Isr*el which is preventing Cuba from distributing its five homemade COVID vaccines and other lifesaving medicines to its own people you have worms for brains and couldn’t give less of a shit about the Cuban people
BLM, WHAT THE F*CK? No, seriously, what in the actual holy f*ck are you doing?!!
So you’re not even going to talk ONCE about the inhumane repression and police brutality that my people are subjected to daily? So police brutality is okay when oppressive regimes do it?
If you only advocate for police brutality when black people are its victims, then let me tell you that Cuba’s Afro-Caribbean population has long been repressed by the government for demanding their freedom of speech and overdue basic human rights.
The US embargo is NOT responsible for the police brutality that has been happening in Cuba. It is NOT responsible for the lack of free speech, food, medicine, infrastructure, a collapsed healthcare system, pisspoor pandemic response, children being dragged out of their houses while their mothers scream and then told to beat up protestors, and the government corruption that plagues the island.
Is the embargo responsible for this?👇
Is the embargo responsible for this as well?👇
AP photographer, Ramón Espinosa,was brutally confronted by the Cuban police while covering the July 11 protests.
The embargo needs to go but not before we kick the regime out. We Cubans don’t blame the embargo for the lack of free speech, low living standards, and not being able to see our families. WE BLAME OUR GOVERNMENT. WE BLAME DIAZ-CANEL. WE BLAME THE PARTY. WE BLAME THE CORRUPTION. WE BLAME THOSE IN POWER WHO STOLE OUR DREAMS AND OUR NATIONAL SYMBOLS.
