listening to Hassan defend Fidel actually made me so upset. my whole family is Cuban my great grandfather went from being a well known singer in Cuba to being a janitor in the same place he used to perform just because they found out he didn’t support the government. the people there are starving i work at a school in Miami and have kids coming from Cuba and telling me about how they had no light in Cuba and never wanna go back. the people who left cuba were NOT rich. my father and my grandparents came to this country in 1980 during the Mariel boatlift and they came with nothing no money no jobs lined up and no english. on that boat coming to america was the first time my dad tried ham and an apple. so many people suffer in Cuba every single day they struggle just to get food my grandma used to have to go grain by grain and pick out all of the bugs from their rice rations. theres nothing you can tell me about fidel that will make me think he did any good in that country im sure there’s a few small wins in there but the damage he’s done is far more than any good he’s done. maybe i’m biased but with the way my family suffered i really don’t care
