I am Black & Cuban and deeply hurt by the #BLM statement on Cuban protests. They are blind and deft to the Cuban ppl, to their demands. With whom is their solidarity? Certainly not with the people in the streets. LISTEN to us. #SOSCuba instagram.com/p/CRU5kYYp-UU/

A similar education and awareness that #BLM rightfully demands for white people is what I ask for them. I ask BLM to put aside their preconceptions abt #Cuba and listen to the Cubans on the island, their reality not the speeches #BLM wants to believe.

And the advice comes from a Black Cuban woman that dedicates her best energies & scholarship to fight racism and unflinchingly support #BLM struggle.

I would love to discuss with #BLM about the Cuban current situation. I hope that a proper understanding of Cuban life and a sincere dialog will open paths to direct solidarity with the Cubans on the island. Please, listen to us! 🇨🇺✊🏿

Gracias, Coco, la conozco. Pero con la pandemia llevamos más de un año sin vernos… 😔🇨🇺

@msamandaisabel

A bit tone deaf yes but the embargo is a problem…

Undoubtedly, but not the only problem. Other problems also need to be addressed
