Cubans in an American Mood - USA

[Maruki70]

I can tell you that my parents are Cuban and they have no desire to visit Cuba as long as the communist are still in power. To much was lost with this regime that launched class warfare and killed many Cubans in the process of taking over.

[mariahabddeannabff]

ok guys i am cuban and black i am adopted if you know anything about cuba please tell me everything

[MrBORICUA11111]

Este video quedo bueno pero ahora es tiempo para fidel a ir se pal CARAmba y su hermano y toca a algien mas a controlar a cuba y liberal lo!!!

[64TbirdLandau]

CASTRATE CASTRO! haha ;)

[PhiloAmericana]

I think if Cubans want to be socialist, that is up to Cubans. We as Americans should respect it. I hope relations improve.

[lau399]

@PhiloAmericana -- the Cubans never wanted to be socialist (by the way Cuba is Communist).....it was the will of one person: Fidel Castro!!! please don't insult the Cubans by saying that we want to be socialists!!!

[sonerbarbaross]

viva cubaaa ....

viva socialism...

[cubanoeh]

so yall stck up for a country who says b n homosexual is ok yall are lost and have became mental slaves for u.s

[supermancolombian]

cubans are a bunch of little pussys that are too afraid of fighting bak against castro and taking bak their own country and instead come here and complain about castro like the little pussys they are and they dont do shit about it marikas todos a la hora del te le gustan vivir asi

[Sexisttroll]

Viva fidel! viva la revolucion!

I don't support fidel nor his regime... but I love the fact that all the Cuban hotties are migrating to Miami... the moment Cuba is freed all the ladies will go back... NOOOOOOOO!

[Dslater417]

It's fuuny how many Europeans, Canadians, ect go to Cuba, and say, "oh how great is it to have a place without Americans"; when in fact the people of Cuba are dying (literally) to get out of Cuba. Like I've said before, there are more Cubans in Florida than there are on the island of Cuba!!!

Shame on anyone who chooses Cuba for their Holiday!

[Sexisttroll]

just make one of those Europeans tourists try to give them a foreign magazine or article to the Cubans they would probably get arrested...

[itsjustme2919]

@Dslater417 Yes! Please tell the people flooding my inbox calling me names because I said Cuba is bad that same thing! I can't believe anyone would actually think communism is a good idea.

[kocigezim]

Albanians own cubans as there pets

[Sahellenko]

and portuguese own muslim albanians as farm pigs to eat and kill as they wish .... Latin revolution siga

[kocigezim]

@Sahellenko o yeah lol thats why my dad busted so meny nuts in ur dirty smelly womens pussys cuz he had blue balls think about that and keep it in mind u dirty wetback

[plzwakeup]

The USA should attack Cuba and annex the state.

[kocigezim]

@plzwakeup yeah they should cuba is fucken gay

[sanshoukid]

@plzwakeup Agreed, it should have been apart of the United States like puerto rico after the spanish american war, but we gave them independence. They should have been another state.

[catania642]

@plzwakeup god bless you.

[Vulcan621]

They should have attacked Cuba and freed it many many years ago Hitler was right the only good commie is a dead one. The Third Reich wanted to remove communism from the face of this earth at all costs. Because they were unable to finish the job Hundreds of Millions of people have suffered under Communism..Jewish bankers funded the Bolshevik Revolution.

[gdelirium454]

@plzwakeup Oh yeah. The US can't even get its shit together right now. How can it annex another state. Remember Spain, Portugal and Britain? Remember how many territories they controlled? Well, they all bit off more than they could chew.

Plus, it's wrong. Cuba is its own independent country with its own culture, language and interests. Assuming that the US should make Cuba part of its laundry list of states is something a bigot would say.

[Dslater417]

There are more cubans in the state of florida than Cuba itself.

[payot]

@Dslater417 You mean Cuban who are happy,free and healthy, then yes.

[Dslater417]

@payot Free? Are cubans allowed to travel outside of the counrty?

[nyqban4life]

@Dslater417 naw ur wrong...

[Dslater417]

@nyqban4life Would you like to explain?

[nyqban4life]

@Dslater417 you said that there are more cubans in the state of florida than in cuba....not true...not sure if you literally meant that...if you didnt , then sorry I dont understand your metaphor...

[Dslater417]

@nyqban4life Oh no my friend, it wasn't a metaphor. It it is true. Not the Florida bit. But the fact of the matter is that there are more Cubans in the United States than there are in Cuba. Miami along has over a million cubans. And thank God, why would you want anyone living in that country?! It is nothing but poor people and a few European and Canadian tourists. I cannot wait until Fidel dies. Sorry. My rants done.

[Gprican4life]

@Dslater417 is this a joke? It's not even close...I have no idea where you get your "numbers" but less than 2 million cubans in the US. actually about 1.6 Million....bout 800,000 in MIAMI, CUBA alone has over 11 Million people...........And even if Fidel dies ...nothing is going to change...right now Fidel does not have much power as he used to because of his health...his brother Raul is running things through Fidel ..and Raul will take over after Fidel...Fidels family is still in tact.....

[cubanitodPdR]

@Dslater417 u really dont know wat ur talking about, get ur shit strait bfore commenting

[EstradaBank]

Cuba has a population of 11 million, Miami Cubans only account to 300 thousand (That is Cuban born individuals), the total number of Cuban born individuals or Cuban nationals throughout the United States is approx 900 thousand..(less than one million people).

other countries with approx 1000 to 2000 Cubans are Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Venezuela, Canada, Spain, Italy, France, Belgium, Germany, UK, Sweden and Netherlands.

Still most Cubans still reside in CUBA

[meleszenawi1111]

Strict travel ban my ass. Me and my dad claimed we were going on jewish tour which was bullshit they let us in as tourists. victoria4me is totally right the embargo is uneccesary the only reason its around is because of the cuban diaspora. I mean in cuba it really is not that bad my guide critizsed castro we werea allowed to go everywhere you there is rights there and they do tolerate criticism as long as it ain't on the news or some very public forum.

[faceswithin]

98 million to kim Jong to give up nuclear weapons from us you and me. 20 million to political prisoners and there rights in Castro's Cuba why do we give so much to them that hate us unless we become like them

[JukemDrawles89]

FUCK yes i love you obama!!! lol

[alissacard]

if you really wanna see how bad it is, watch a documentary called Bolseros.... its eye opening and very true... its worse in some areas and in other situations.... im a cuban american and i have been there twice and feel helpless everytime i leave

[Terramax]

they all keep going on about how bad Cuba is but why? I wish I could hear their side of the story. That's the only criticism I have of this doc. Other than that, good work as always

[Sexisttroll]

@Terramax I wish Cubans could express their side of the story!

[jvarela965]

People used to visit Cuba before Busn imposed restrictions. Obama restored them logical Clinton era rules.

[victoria4me]

Finally you recognized THIS IS YOUR HOMELAND!!! I love the US otherwise I wouldn't be here smarty pants! unfortunately people like you gave this country a bad reputation around the globe. For example a term that Europeans use is: stupid american to refer gringos like you.

[icecube45]

Europeans wouldn't use the term "Gringo" for Americans.... I think this is, what Mexicans call US people.

[Dslater417]

@icecube45 It isn't an American term. Really what is is anyone who speaks English

[victoria4me]

If you were there 11 times didn't you tried to convince the people in Cuba of all you are saying here?? why did they let Fidel be 50 yrs in the government and not doing absolutely nothing to kick him out?? I recommend you not to use the speech that you gave us 'cause they won't eat that crap, that for sure!!! :P

[victoria4me]

I don't even know what midol is, I'm pretty healthy. Your bitch must know all about you name in your answers, like nails, midol, beauty parlors and all that bubble head help for ugly women, I AM BREATHTAKING BEAUTIFUL so much that i don't even need make up. If you reduce the level of hate you have you won't need to take midol. STOP THE HATE!! DON'T HATE JEWS, DON'T HATE CUBANS, DON'T HATE YOURSELF OR YOU WILL GET MORE SICK AND YOUR DICK WON'T WORK AND YOUR GIRL WILL CHEAT ON YOU !!

[victoria4me]

Wow!! now you show your anger and hate for Cubans and all those that believe in something you WISH you can have in your miserable life. STOP HATING JEWS, CUBANS AND REVOLUTIONARIES and tell the cunt in your profile pic to do a better job 'cause obviously she isn't or maybe you just need a fist in your asshole to stop the hate.

[meleszenawi1111]

I went to cuba this summer and had to go through this process and nobody was starving nobody was begging and my guide in a crowded street made comments against Castro so did other cubans I met but I also met a lot who supported the government and this whole talk about how cuba is poor is bullshit If any one says it I will personally beat the shit out of you Hasta la vicotoria siempre! Viva Fidel, Viva Cuba! Viva la revolucion! as with most journey man pictures biased and bad

[Dslater417]

@meleszenawi1111 To bad that no cubans can back you up, why don't they have the access to youtube again?

[Sexisttroll]

@Dslater417 nope youtube like 99.999999999% of the internet is banned for the 3.3% of the population who are authorized and can afford to use internet... they say internet is a disease invented by the capitalists...

[itsjustme2919]

@Sexisttroll oh haha. Maybe we should invent more diseases, like freedom of choice. Thats a particular deadly disease.

[Sexisttroll]

@itsjustme2919 shhhh... yo can't say "choice" in Cuba... they don't have one... hehe

[itsjustme2919]

@Sexisttroll I know. Ive seen many posts on videos about cuba and its usually by 13 year old kids saying "yay Castro" when they have no idea what its about. You wouldn't believe how many people think what he does is ok, and that freedom and captialism is bad. Sadly they don't realize that capitalism allowed them to log onto their computer and write such ignorant statements lol.

[victoria4me]

Have you ever lived/grew up in a 3rd world country? do you know what are the differences between rich and poor there? I DON'T THINK SO, you are American and whatever fuck u know about Cuba comes from the contra revolutionaries and haters of Fidel and Batista's worshipers! Read "the open veins of Latin America" by Eduardo Galeano to know about Latin American history if you care to know about your roots and stop spilling hate against the Cuban people Y QUE VIVA LA REVOLUCION!!! QUE VIVA FIDEL!!

[BigPurple121]

University of Phoenix... what a joke. I would never hire anyone from one of those fake universities

[victoria4me]

and what do you know about it DICKHEAD!! so far you wrong everyone without exposing your ideas DUMB FUCK.

[isaac7600]

Its obvious this guy is either one of those butt hurt white Cubans, or just a jackass that likes to argue with no factual support. Keep spreading truth! Hasta la vicotoria siempre! Viva Fidel, Viva Cuba! Viva la revolucion!

[victoria4me]

yeah! he hates Jews too, his answers are very lousy just like many American kids from Cuban parents would do, never been in Cuba nor knowing the Cuban history before Fidel neither. Just filled with hate and anger. For example; the guys in this video look very well fed and in excellent shape. They have to keep victimizing themselves and blaming Fidel for the decision they made when they left Cuba otherwise their "asylum" and documents to live and work in the US will be gone.

[William82oct]

Fuck that shit! I'm a black american and I don't have a drop cuban blood in me, but I hope like hell that they ease the travel ban to cuba because I want to visit there one day.

[victoria4me]

YOU DON'T NOW WHAT WE R TALKING ABOUT, Cuba has survive 50 years of embargo imposed by the US fairly well, at least they r doing better than Haiti, another Caribbean country with a so called "democracy" that left them being one of the poorest countries. Latin America itself has had "democracy" and yet they are still poor and with high rates of illiteracy, something that Cuba doesn't have, INFORM ,EDUCATE YOURSELF before to argue without arguments.

[isaac7600]

Sure I do, its called H-I-S-T-O-R-Y and personal accounts with Cubans in Cuba themselves. Or tell me, life for the average Cubano under U.S. supported Dictaror Batista was a paradise from black and brown folks? How did they live according to you?

[Person009]

Batista was mulatto

[pyongyang100]

this is dumb capitalist propaganda! castro rules!

[isaac7600]

Is interesting, all of the Cubans that escape Cuba are white, descendants of wealthy or at least well off Europeans. Cuba's revolution benefited the poor, black and brown folks who lived in an aparteid/ jim crow like society. Free health care, housing, bread, education. Viva La Revolucion! Viva Fidel!

[nzingamina]

Bravo....isaac. Before the revolution during Batista the mix-guy....who worshiped Americans and Spanish descendants....CUBA was an apartheid system.

Most that left after his downfall were white spanish cubans. Good riddance.

VIVA Fidel...indeed.

[ReyCanario11]

It's more interesting to see where you have gotten your facts from.Cuban immigrants have arrived for years here in Canary Islands-black, white, & mixed. I know of two mulatto's (one poor, one middle class). One owned a farm & left because he's no allowed to profit from livestock & own property in order to make money for he family. The second, the poor one, was not allowed to play instrument at clubs because he was "vocal" about politics against Fidel.Both happyier in Gran Canaria

[victoria4me]

these cubans cry over nothing, blaming Fidel for their unhappiness in the US, they realized that money is not everything,. 3rd world countries don't have a "bad guy" like Fidel to blame for their luck, they know WHO is threatening their democracy and sovereignty. By the way, Cuba had made very well even with the embargo in what health care and education concerns, both are free, besides the fact that it has zero malnutrition in their population compared to other Latin countries.

[ReyCanario11]

Anyone anywhere realize that money is no everythin. Having been at work with my company in U.S. & Cuba, & having associate with both sides. The unhappy ones are the ones on the island. Fidel have made Cuban-Americans into happy Cubans. Those people are happy in U.S. working hard, owning business, & property. They eat better much, better quality food (not like boil chicken and russian spam how they eat in Cuba). I'm not supporter for U.S. but u can see why people emigrate to U.S. vs Cuba more

[HaloedG]

The geezer political prisoner has become a pessimist due to all those years in prison...Raul is in power of Cuba, not Fidel.

[thegolddust80]

cubans should stay in cuba

[HaloedG]

Why?

[shussey100]

Typical serial killer? A white guy.

The most evil race in the world.

[OldTommyFlynns]

Haha you have it easy you dick.

Wait till you meet the other races of this world.

I think you'd love the Chinese

[pyongyang100]

fuck you, the chinesse are awesome! go back to ur stupid nazi land, you racist dick!

[OldTommyFlynns]

Im just saying that the Chinese are a little more rough than the western countries. Care to catch me out?

[sporeandbryan]

God bless Capitalism. Woe to anyone who embraces Communism.

[shussey100]

Send the european white rubbish back to europe.

[sporeandbryan]

you go back to where you came from.

[DiNatalli]

How come white cubans are welcomed with open arms and the black cubans who get caught by the coast guard before reaching the shore get set back?

[MonkeyArrowHead]

Lets me guess you live in Mars! All the Cubans intercepted at sea are returned: does not matter their color or anything else: they just get a one-way ticket to home!

[cannoir]

Ain't it funny that on this video you do not see black cubans ? even JMP has use the selective tool when it comes to document every day lives of cubans, this video just like their previous clearly illustrates it.A video that lasts 8 mn and you don't even see one black and brown face. This is ugly and insulting in very way

[cannoir]

I have have a friend who works at an immig office up there and trust me it is no secret that they favour white cubans who can blend well within the all american culture over any cuban who is brown or black.This is the real truth and its not the only department that isn't colour blind. This how they managed ethnicities in this country, just like in Brazil.Just because I know this and I am saying it like it doesn't mean I hate on anyone. This biais needs to be discussed as well

[MonkeyArrowHead]

I am Cuban. I have plenty of friends of any "color", with the most diverse experience in this country. The majority of Cubans that come here come family-sponsored, like me. The majority of Cubans already established in this country are whites, thus the odd for whites Cubans to come here are higher than the rest of the Cubans. The Immigration Act of 1965 tried to address the problems derived by the "lack of diversity" of a family sponsored immigration. I mean it is a well known side effect.

[cannoir]

In others words they benefitted from both the immigration act and the affirmative action.Of course I knew those who actually benefit from the affirmative action are Ytes.white cubans slip in and out of the ethnic box.Its cream and choco you agree with me that the media does not show afrocubans because only the white ones matter.this video alone is proves it.Also you don't need to have friends of "all colours" to be tolerant.That's like me saying I can't be racist because I smoke Cuban cigars.

[MonkeyArrowHead]

Yes, as Hispanics, we classified as minority; that has nothing to do with color but ethnicity. I mentioned my friends as example of the complexity of the subject: I never thought you would consider me a racist. Like I said they majority of Cubans here are just whites, thus I think is demographic thing more than anything else.

[taro19]

I wanna go to Cuba before it becomes capitalized.

I didn't see much about Cuba in this vid.

[truslayer123]

[fretzombie]

Who cares if Obama changed the law a bit. There is still a needless pointless ban.

[waassappening]

How do you suggest that the United States deal with Cuba's bad human rights record?

[negkreyol21]

it is not worse then saudi arabia,uzbekistan, china so why dont they get an embargo. the embargo came before human rights was considered important to american foreign policy. the US just find an excuse just to keep the punishment to appease certain people. isn't it in itself a violation of human rights to administer collective punishment on an entire nation for the acts of a few

[MonkeyArrowHead]

Which is the point of comparing two bad situations to find which one is the worst? I mean, what real difference does it make? Why stop helping people because there are more people who need help as well?

[negkreyol21]

thats not the point i was making i was saying that the embargo is in place not because of human rights but for economic reason those nation didnt get it because they are widely open to american interest

[MonkeyArrowHead]

I don't get it. Which are right now the economic reasons for the embargo? There is plenty of countries that arent open to American interest and they arent "get it" either. As I said before, put in a scale the human right issue is insane. I guess you can attack the embargo because is ineffective or something like that. But because of its origins or because some had havent and they should?

[MonkeyArrowHead]

It is true that the embargo was a response to the massive confiscation of American interests in Cuba. But human rights became very important right after WW2. In fact Universal Declaration of Human Rights was declared by UN in 1948, and became a center piece against soviet block.

[MonkeyArrowHead]

The embargo punishing the Cuban people? Yeah right, it is like when South African people were punished with a universal embargo held every country? The truth is the only embargo that it is really enforce is the one the Cuban government has against the Cuban people.

[MonkeyArrowHead]

To whom do you refer when you say "to appease certain people"?

[negkreyol21]

the land holders and business mens pretty much the upper class that fled when the revolution happen and settled in south florida they help garner plenty of vote

[MonkeyArrowHead]

In 2004 there was 912,686 persons born in Cuba living in America; plus 535,998 Americans of Cuban ancestry. Do you really think all those people were the landholders and businessmen?

[negkreyol21]

i never said all that did leave where landowners or business men but what i meant to state is that those people do hold a lot of influence over diaspora communities that do live there

[Choctawu]

We need to limit the amount of naturalized individuals per country.

Or  do not given them federalism but allow them to be state subjects.

[spikebtvs]

born in the US = citizen

quotas = racist

"do not given them federalism" = moron

federalism= states rights against federal power not individual rights

state subjects...nm im done

[Choctawu]

When are Cubans going to do something about their country govenment.

The wetfoot policy needs to be changed.

Since these naturalized Americans to no intergrate with Americans native to this soil. No more funding for subdivisions.

[MonkeyArrowHead]

I infer that you speak English as an native American citizen, but what you said here has no sense at all: it is incomprehensible. You need to stop taking drugs. They are affecting your abilities of thinking and expressing.

[negkreyol21]

wow only in the US do people describe Cuba as a starving nation i dont see any of those old way of thinking prevailing in canada and europe

cubans leave cuba to work not for freedom unless you consider that the definition of the term

[MonkeyArrowHead]

How do you know it? I mean I really do not get the relation between Cuban reality (starving) and the way US is dealing with the political situation in Cuba. People in the Nazi concentration camps were starving, but if you think they wanted to escape to work, well, I think you need a check up.

[negkreyol21]

i went off topic and started a new one. americans perception of cubans are far worse then the actual thing and many cubans that do leave by boat are not politically minded they just want to work and support there family. i never said that they weren't poor or that life was easy for them but the way they are portrayed on american TV is far worse then the actual situation

[MonkeyArrowHead]

Again, how do you know it? I think the problem here, like almost all problems in this world, is that you are seeing it through another problem. If you keep yourself focus, I know you would see it. The economic situation in Cuba is inseparable of the political situation. The so called Revolution has a confiscatory police that rob Cubans everything they own.

[negkreyol21]

and do you think it would have been any different if the revolution had ever happened would people like batista would have ever done anything for the people

[MonkeyArrowHead]

Do you realize that Batista is a fraction of Cuban History? Cuba started as a republic in 1902 and the Batistas regime in 1952 and ended in 1958. It would be more accurate to say that Batista is related to Castro: they are traitors to the ideal of the republic. There is 50 year of the republic that should be taken into consideration, don't you think? Thus I think the real question should be: Did the Cuban republic do something for its people?

[MonkeyArrowHead]

There were moments when the republic was a mere joke, but it was able to provide a better living condition for the people. Just to put an example. The Cuban republic inherited 85% rate of illiteracy and by 1950, it was 26%; and this happened at the same time that the population increased from 1.5 m to 6.5 m. To put this in context: this means that Cuba started in the bottom and ended in the top of Latin America. I think it is a good effort.

[negkreyol21]

they are still at the top when it comes to cost to health and illiteracy iam in no way defending the system that exist now but the rest of the country shouldn't get punished for what the government does or believe in the embargo is by far worst on the cuban people then it is on the government and if in 50 years they haven't removed that then let it go

[Tylatz]

It's interesting with the way that you talk about Cuba. It's almost like a little Rome.

While I'm admittedly ignorant about a lot of Cuba, most Cubans I've met that can remember it would like to return, but refuse to do so until the government changes. Remember that this is simply my personal experience.

I am on Nicaraguan origin, I speak Spanish fluently but since I like here in the U.S and I am a Citizen I speak English too ... Miami is in the U.S....Speak English Fuckers!!!

[MonkeyArrowHead]

Go to ask your fellow expatriates and tell me later, please. Hint: there is a bunch of them in what was known as Little Havana.

[briggs9187]

That is directed to all Latin Americans that spend 10-20 years in the States and do not know any English other than .."dont speak English"....besides, there is little Managua in Dade county, there are a lot of Nicaraguans in Miami as well...I know cause I lived there.

[MonkeyArrowHead]

I agree with you. I can not say that I command the English language as good as I wish. I try. Also I think it is stupid from a practical point of view: speak English opens a lot of doors.

Now, do not put all people in the same bag. Believe me, there is not good in there.

Peace!
