Fidel Castro speaks:
HAVANA -Fidel Castro says a “profound racism” in the United States will stop millions from voting for Barack Obama in next month’s presidential election.
The ailing, 82-year-old former Cuban president says it is “a miracle that the Democratic candidate hasn’t suffered the same luck as (assassinated leaders) Martin Luther King, Malcolm X and others who harbored dreams of equality and justice.”
Castro’s written comments were published by state media Saturday. In them, he insists a “profound racism” exists in the U.S. and that millions of whites “cannot reconcile themselves to the idea that a black person … could occupy the White House, which is called just that: white.”
And yet, somehow Senator Obama, with only 3 short years in the U.S. Senate, has risen to the top, winning his Party’s nomination, and currently commands a lead in the polls.
Neat, huh?
