he also made it ok for Black Cubans to be educated & gave them equal rights as white Cubans. He protected Black revolutionaries.
Fidel Castro has died. Beloved and despised. A symbol of resistance against western imperialist oppression and labeled an oppressor himself

what rights?
-
the rights to free education, jobs, free healthcare. He's not perfect but he cared enough to give folks the basics.
-
as long as you didn't have a difference of opinion, otherwise it was off to the free jail

labeled? Bruh, he was a murderous dictator who killed whoever questioned him. Its not a label it was who is was
-
Saying someone is labelled as something doesn't mean they aren't in fact that thing
-
I read this as noting the dichotic pub. view of Castro, which is undeniable, regardless of wether its justified

I would usually agree with you but Castro was a complex individual;neither hero or villain is an adequate descriptor.
-
Also, unlike other polarizing figures-- his actions aren't only judged by POV. He did OBJECTIVELY good & bad things.
