Most people in the U.S. saw Castro as a hero before he went with the Soviets instead of the U.S..

The U.S. would have gladly taken him on as an ally after the revolution, and they would have painted him as every bit a hero and you would be sitting here calling him a freedom fighter right now instead of a piece of ****.

tl;dr before people in the U.S. hated Castro they loved him

I work with a few teachers who are Cuban and grew up there. Not sure how they got here but whatevs. Yeah, basically they say it was awful there. Awful.

That said, on a funnier note, one of those women last year posted on FB how our school is worse than living under the Castro regime growing up. Sort of true. My district sucks. Morons running it. The Super is an awful used car salesman. Like legit, at our welcome back in-service day every year, he gets on stage for maybe a total of 30 minutes. Half of that time is used with awful movie clips (some awful Nolte movie I've never heard of--had to be straight to video), Rocky...like that...He starts by showing an A bomb going off. Talks sort of like Tony Robbins only way more douchey and dumb. It's hilariously bad. Like pathetic that the dude is in education. But hey, he got a Masters or two, some people bought his ******** along the way, and he's not a Super making around 250K all-in I'd guess.

Tell you what...for all those fans who get their knickers in a twist and think they're so patriotic by criticizing these players...punch the guy next to you who remains seated during the anthem eating or drinking. Swat the cell phone out of the hands of the fan who is texting or checking other scores. Fans are FAR worse than the players at disrespecting the national anthem.

I am not paying to watch the person sitting next to me.

Who is this "they." I have yet to hear Kapernick complain about that and I have yet to hear him say he regrets what he did.

I am pretty sure he is proud of what he has done and that he has brought more light to the fact that black people in this country are being treated worse by police, courts and prisons.

Obviously like you many NFL owners care more about money than their politics. Obviously Kap cares more about his morals.

Yeah right Kap has said if someone will sign me I guarantee I won't kneel during the anthem again.
Tell me Ron do you support Black Lives Matter? You support groups that want cops killed? Kap did not just kneel...he wore socks depicting police as pigs. If that is your kind of hero, go take a flying leap.
 
Ron Mexico said:
If it was a meaningful event in the context of the current movement an relevant than yes. That doesn't exist though.

I also don't find issues or people black and white. Kap isn't perfect. Castro did some great things along with some awful things, just like most leaders including our own.

you are very ignorant of national socialism history. lots of people where praising hitler in the first few years of nazi germany.
lots of "important" foreign leaders and celebrities met with hitler.

I do support black lives matter. It does not support cops being killed, neither does black lives matter. Cops do great things and are needed in our society but as a group they discriminate against black people. That is a fact well proven with evidence. I personally know many great cops who do their job great. Some do not, and many discriminate subconsciously.

Do you support people being mistreated because of the color of their skin? Do you not think everyone should be treated the same regardless is their skin color? If so then get you crap out of here. Society doesn't need that crap.

Is it okay to wear shirts of presidents of the USA that have done terrible things? Is it okay to celebrate US even though it has committed awful acts? I think so. It is all relative.

His shirt was not of just fidel. It was of a meaningful event in US history.

I wont defend Castro because he did awful things but we also celebrate others it just depends on the situation. Nelson Mandela for example is celebrated as a hero for the great things he did. But many people ignore the fact that he orchestrated bombings that killed innocent people. It can be perspective sometimes. Castro did do some good things in his life along with some terrible things.

he was the first to ever sign such a bill. and no not revisionist history bismarck! bismarcks bill only gave healthcare to government workers. elderly and the poor

I disagree. Many people use it that way but I have seen numerous conservatives act that way. They get offended at every little thing. They often try to mask it by calling the person that offended them a snowflake.
