So...a cuban refugee talks about coming here by boat to escape communism.

I reckon living in Florida and being wealthy gives him the stage. What about others escaping tyrannical home situations?
I guess they arent from the right countries, maybe.

Cuba has a special policy called Wet foot/ dry foot.

@basilfawlty89 And a partridge in a pear tree....

@sunsporter1649 but I thought you were so successful, and us other "socialist" countries (like South Africa with all its businesses it privatised since 2000) are backward. I thought this was a legit challenge to us "evil" lefties.

Paypal the money for a plane ticket and I'll move there tomorrow.

I'll make sure if you do to smoke a Montecristo No. 4 in your honour.

@basilfawlty89 As long as you buy into that bullschiff, you are welcome to it
That’s absolutely it. Remember, the U.S. opened arms wide to Muslims in the 90s...blond-haired, blue-eyed Muslims from Eastern Europe, that is...

@bijouxbroussard immigrants, throughout our history have always been denigrated by a large number of the population.
But we had open arms and eventually stereotypes went away....but those immigrants didnt look so different. And the languages were historically recognizable.
When I stand back and look at it from the outside, that history is so telling, and very uncomfortable.

Edit: as it should be.

@Carla Haha, 🙃 I'm sorry Carla! I just thought this young boy's song fit your topic, I didn't see the whole thing with the rapper there. His song went viral and is the new anthem song for George Floyd who was killed by that cop. You can delete it.

We have a weird emotional connection to Cuban refugees because of the old Cold War ethos and perhaps guilt over the Bay of Pigs fiasco. Must be odd for people under 45 to "get it."
@Human1000 And not so much Afro-Cubans (see “Mariel Boatlift”)
Carla · 61-69, F
Well @bijouxbroussard, they had darker skin ,kinkier hair, and likely werent displaced elites. We all know how that goes...
@Carla Yep. Same racism, different target.
If he's rich, he's probably pretending America is on the brink of communism.
graphite · 61-69, M
Oh, no - America's Communists will get it right this time. Just ask them - they're burning down the cities and bashing people in the street right now.

@Budwick
Actual timeline.

Go read it. You may have listened, but you were there.
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
@Carla You endorsed, promoted, and voted for rioting to get what you want, enjoy the fruits of your labors

And yet the Canadian court ruled the US as unsafe for asylum seekers did to human rights violations. Hmmm...

@canusernamebemyusername yeah, our welcoming arms have kind of folded.

@sunsporter1649 my above statement stands.
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
@Carla You voted and continue to support it, enjoy it
Carla · 61-69, F
@sunsporter1649 again. I will.
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
Shoulda left this one back home.
Carla · 61-69, F
@sunsporter1649 yeah, yeah...how many times you gonna show that Wendy's? You do know that much of the rioting is being perpetuated by a bunch of radical right people, right?
And I know no Democrat that doesnt condemn those that riot.

@sunsporter1649 thank you for the selfie. I cant see that big goofy grin though.
Dino11 · M
should we ask the father of Sen. Ted Cruze?
Carla · 61-69, F
@Dino11 give him a call. He may have answers🙄
Northwest · M
Yes, but he's voting for Trump.
Carla · 61-69, F
@Northwest yes he will. He is a fossil fuel guy.
curiosi · 61-69, F
We aren't the worlds motel 6! You sound like an ass!
@Carla its all good strangely I must commend his dedication he is a die hard Trump loyalist for sure
Carla · 61-69, F
@ExperienceDLT loyalist/cultist. There is a difference. Loyalty can be challenged. Cultism(word?) Disallows any form of dissent.
I have, not ever, heard one word of criticism from the cultists. Not one.
Btw...not all trump supporters belong to the cult. Some are just fringe believers.
@Carla true
Carla · 61-69, F
@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout tell me what it is I believe in. I will make it easy...I will tell you. I believe in my country, and yes, trump is destroying it.
JT123 · M
If Biden wins, he might be better off heading back to Cuba!
Graylight · 51-55, F
@JT123 Right! Because...because...because why, again? We know Biden' isn't a socialist. We know Trump's camp lies about the tax cuts he wants and the stands he takes on police and protesting. So what specifically about his platform do you disagree with and what's a proposed compromise?

Or did I interrupt a "sound of my own voice" party here?
Killroy59 · 61-69, M
Money talks and bullshit walks always has and always will be

If you're not an "embarrassment" to the Right (read: middle-lower class) and you serve their purpose, you, too, can be a poster child for the [i]very thing they condemn and punish.[/i]
Carla · 61-69, F
@MarkPaul exactly.
I reckon in trump world no one really listens. But why would the cult listen? They have been instructed not to.
They come from all kinds of countries and all kinds of situations.
Exactly. It’s always about being the “right” immigrants (even illegally exceptions can be made), from the “right” countries. In the 90s even Muslims from the “right” countries (Kosovo, Bosnia, other Slavic nations) were welcomed into the U.S. with open arms.
Of course, this is how [b]they[/b] looked:
