Race is not a topic easy to discuss. It makes many feel uncomfortable or being candid. Various countries have attempted to deal with the topic and some with limited success but dealing with institutional remedies continues to be illusive.
Cuba has a very interesting race dynamic. As part of the 1959 Revolution it was something leadership knew had to be dealt with. Despite trying the issue remains. The following segment was released in April 2022, so it can be assumed it was produced around the first of the year or shortly thereafter. Unfortunately, Dr. Morales-Dominguez passed away several months later in May 2022.
“Racism white supremacy is a dynamic system for the ultimate purpose of white genetic survival on the planet. Racism white supremacy is a conscious and/or self conscious construct by people who classify themselves as white for their genetic survival.” Dr. Frances Cress-Wesling, noted Physiatrist
“Indeed Cuba has a pestering problem with race but unlike countries such as the United States you do not see Blacks gunned down by law enforcement.” Dr. Esteban Morales-Dominguez
Postscript – Those of you who follow this site know that Dr. Morales-Dominguez was a guest contributor and offered many articles from the Cuba perspective. I am completing my research on Race in Cuba as well as the effects of the Negro Leagues on Cuban Baseball. In 2017 Dr. Morales-Dominguez welcomed me as a friend and helped with direct guidance to assist with my research. He is the preeminent authority in Cuba on the topic. He holds two Doctorate degrees, including one from Russia. I am forever indebted to him and his lovely wife Katia for sharing their counsel with me. I am planning one last trip to Cuba in several weeks and the book is slated to be available Fall 2024.
