Cubans used to differentiate in the social or economic classes. Like Celia Cruz, color was accepted - just needed money. However, truth be told- other countries do not like America’s Black community at all.
I can’t fathom what draws people to this failed ideology.
It's why they're all trying to leave.
If the GOP hadn't fallen for Trump's populist garbage, they'd realize that the more Nicaraguans, Venezuelans, and Cubans come here, the more future Republican voters they'd have.

Dunno about Cuba, but would be surprised to hear of much 'discrimination' anywhere in the Caribbean, with its own history of slavery, and an even longer tradition of 'free peoples'. Not to mention that the majority populations, and cultures, of most Caribbean countries have long been of overwhelmingly African descent.
BTW, Cuban 'Santeria' (aka, 'voodoo') was 'imported' straight from West Africa!
I wonder how much of this has to do with Catholic countries vs Protestant countries?
It seems Africans who were shipped to Catholic countries were able to maintain more African religious traditions compared to those sent to Protestant countries. I guess it was because they were able to use Catholic saints to disguise their African deities. Those sent to Protestant countries couldn't do this since Protestants don't worship saints.
Not at all. I highly doubt she has traveled through the Americas enough to make that determination. There are even other “biracial” Caribbean islands that are better off than Cuba in that department.
Opportunities are better than they were in the past for Afro-Cubans but Cuba is not a model for the rest of the Americas either.
A woman defending the system in Cuba. She should read about how difficult it to procure certain products that women regularly use. Any female in the West should carefully reconsider their pining for communism with that in mind.
From what I have seen recently all women will have to do in go in a Boy' bathroom at a public school to secure their needs soon.
