Why are Florida's Cuban voters supporting @POTUS @realDonaldTrump's corruption? Remember, @marcorubio took Russian money in 2016. Is it possible they're not who we thought they were. @FBIMiamiFL
When I was a kid Batista was dictator and corrupt puppet. A lot of the Cubans in Miami hale from his crew. Cuba like most if not all the Spanish colonies was a stratified society formed in a hacienda system. What is seldom spoken of is the stratification within these systems
based on skin color. From the Philippines to the Caribbean whiter people tended to dominate the Spanish ruling class. The European church remained silent.
The Irish used to not be white. But we're pretty white now and can easily blend in. A couple of months ago
an 80 year old woman called me from Ireland to tell me I was related to a Hogan in her hometown in Ireland. He'd travelled to the US after the revolution and went by an assumed name. But folks in his hometown knew he'd made it big. He was the Whitehouse architect who
signed his name as Hoban not Hogan. Why? The Irish were despised. Vilified by religious bigots like @realDonaldTrump and his KKK father. The betrayal of the Irish priests and @CatholicBishops who lay down with Donald Trump is among the greatest betrayals since Judas.
