US is racist, El Coma Andante declares
From the always entertaining and award=fiction fiction writers of the Associated Press via Granma:
[c]astro: Racism in US keeps many away from Obama Oct 11 11:37 PM US/EasternHAVANA (AP) - [f]idel [c]astro says a "profound racism" in the United States will stop millions from voting for Barack Obama in next month's presidential election.
The ailing, 82-year-old former Cuban president says it is "a miracle that the Democratic candidate hasn't suffered the same luck as (assassinated leaders) Martin Luther King, Malcolm X and others who harbored dreams of equality and justice."
[c]astro's written comments were published by state media Saturday. In them, he insists a "profound racism" exists in the U.S. and that millions of whites "cannot reconcile themselves to the idea that a black person ... could occupy the White House, which is called just that: white."
[c]astro also described Republican presidential candidate John McCain as "bellicose."
How many Blacks are in high positions of power in your government, fidel? 1, 5, 10, 100?

Good question, George. Here is a photo of the Castro brothers and their top generals. Count all the blacks in it

Uh, well, you know, Castro, Inc. is not at all racist, just like there are no political prisoners in Cuba, and the government has never tortured anybody, and "Che" Guevara never committed any crimes, and Fidel never knew anything about any drug trafficking...
