Black in Latin America E01, Cuba: The Next Revolution

In Cuba Professor Gates finds out how the culture, religion, politics and music of this island are inextricably linked to the huge amount of slave labor imported to produce its enormously profitable 19th century sugar industry, and how race and racism have fared since Fidel Castro's Communist revolution in 1959.

My god i can't believe how devilish whites are. They made General Maseo white; the same way whites took king tut and made him white. They literally rewrote history. Therefore the DNA test on king tut is no doubt a fraud.

@RoadlessPath what are you talking about? did you read this before you posted? really? "negative and low selfworth african american hiphop stars" its funny how when its time to give blk ppl credit for our creativity and influence we don`t get any. but when its time to talk about the negative now all of a sudden everything we do is so negative so horrible/savage/inferior. get a grip, seriously. there are plenty of positive/popular afa hip hop stars. everyone isn`t a hoodrat

finally i had to wait the whole video just for this man to admit that most cubans in america ie MIAMI consider themselves white what he didnt say was that they are actually allowed to put that on their driver`s license. thats always so hilarious over 70% of your heritage is black but you get to the U.S. now you white? i live in miami and go to FIU you should see the madness and how poorly they treat other minorities not all cubans are bad but wow see the ones who really think their white

[RoadlessPath]

Is racing increasing or underground in cuba, or are they influanced by hiphop negative and low selfworth of african americain hiphop stars.

[RoadlessPath]

Is that the evolution of music in cuba, adapting the (global) hiphop same sound?
