Harlem Residents In Support of Slavery
Id like to thank Michelle for this wonderful opportunity and the honor of being a guestblogger here on what is one of the best blogs on the internet. I must admit that I’m a bit nervous as I dont consider myself a great writer like Michelle or the other fine guestbloggers who’ll be publishing here this week. I guess you all will just have to bear with me. And please, forgive my accent, I was born in Cuba, after all.
You may all be wondering as to the title of this post. Surely it must be a mistake. Surely it must be an attempt at sarcasm. Surely I dont really mean to say that there are people in Harlem that support slavery.
It’s not a mistake. It’s not sarcasm. And I mean it.
Slavery is defined as follows:
slavery
n 1: the state of being under the control of another person [syn: bondage, thrall, thralldom, thraldom] 2: the practice of owning slaves [syn: slaveholding] 3: work done under harsh conditions for little or no pay
Today, in Harlem, there will be a birthday celebration for the Caribbean’s slavemaster, fidel castro:
It’s a celebration of the Cuban Revolution and Fidel’s birthday,” said Vicente Panama Alba, one of the organizers of the party to be held at the St. Ambrose Church, on 130 Street between Lenox and Fifth, deep in the heart of Harlem, the daily said.
The celebration will also be a reply to those in Miami who, shortly after news broke of the temporary transferring of powers in Cuba, went out to Calle 8 to celebrate.
“The Cuban worms [in Miami] and the US government hope for a transition when Fidel dies,” said Alba, who added with a smile, they are way behind, because that process began in 1959.”
According to Father Barrios, “the serious matter here is that the United States dares threaten the sovereignty of another country. It is amazing that the United Nations Security Councils permits this.”
Father Barrios said that in addition to paying homage to Cuba and Fidel, afternoon festivities will feature a wide variety of topics including current events in Lebanon, Venezuela and Puerto Rico, US immigration, the war against Iraq, and those who are looking forward to the impeachment of George W. Bush.
Make no bones about it: Cuba is an island of slaves. What else does one call a place where the people eat what one man feeds them; work at what one man decides that they work on; march when one man tells them to march; say what one man tells them to say and think only what one man tells them to think. What else do you call a place where the people are kept from progressing as individuals, where the people are kept away from information, where people are isolated from the rest of the world?
Cuba is just one big island plantation.
And now, in a country that sacrificed hundreds of thousands of its sons over a century ago in a war to eliminate slavery, we have people taking to the streets in celebration of the life of a slaveowner.
This only goes to prove just how far the left will go to advance its anti-American agenda: they will ignore human rights violations, they will ignore affronts on basic civil rights, they will ignore their own history and they will ignore right from wrong.
And they will take to the streets today and show us all their ignorance.
Update: From Marc at Uncommon Sense:
What makes the Castro party planned for Harlem such a travesty is that Castro’s is the most racist regime in the Americas.
Of course, to Castro, all Cubans — white, black, mulatoo, etc. — are slaves.
If these black “leaders” in Harlem want to honor a Cuban, they should honor Oscar Biscet.
He’s black.
He’s proud.
And he’s not a slavemaster.
