Battling Cuba's racial divide

Racism is a taboo subject in Cuba, where 10 percent of the population is black. Fidel Castros regime supposedly suppressed racial inequality half a century ago, but vestiges remain. Interracial marriage, for example, remains largely unacceptable.Duration: 01:51

EVERY COUNTRY IS RACIST! many mexicans hate centralamericans, africa is plagued by genocides, many white-americans hate every none white, many black-americans hate every none black, to be honest, from what i have experienced, most cubans are passively racist if racist at all.

The racist white MINORITY Cuban communist gov't continues to mislead the world about its current demographics claiming "35% black & mixed race" is from the 1960 census, after Castro came to power 1 million white Cubans left for America and more left again in the 1980 boat lift and are still leaving, the Cuban regime will NEVER have an honest census since whites are now a Minority in Cuba, This place a a powder keg about to explode like the Arab states with its angry youth.

cant have enough money to send kids to good schools and vicious circle keeps on going round. For someone to say 'thats how it is.. thats racist and ignorant coz if people had said that in South Africa there would still be Apartheid today because thats how things were supposed to be to favour racist pple's life styles.

@luisakachucky3333 In terms of sexual relationships .. I dont really care when people build walls against other races ( as that automatically makes them unattractive as racist people). My major concern is when there r injustices based on colour of skin, inequality when it comes to access to jobs, economic opportunities etc thats when the real problem lies, coz it has the effect of keepig\ng black pple down as they cant access well paying jobs,

You know what funny is how when fidel took over his support base was majority black that took from the white cubans and dispersed it to the blacks and know that cuba is falling apart the black cubans say their is racism in the island it is so funny that no matter were you look in this world were blacks live like in cuba,france,america, rodisha, south america they take money from whites and then they cant produce like whites and after the fact they blame it all on racism and who their oppressed.
