YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation made a statement on Instagram advocating for the lifting of the American embargo, saying that it is punishment for Cuba’s "commitment to sovereignty and self-determination."
However, numerous progressives and activists, including associate professor of Latino studies Dr. Danielle Clealand, took to Twitter saying the U.S. and Cuban governments are to blame for the country's problems; targeting the U.S. embargo fails to acknowledge the issues that Black Cubans have faced with systemic racism from the Cuban government for years.
Dr. Clealand and Ajamu Baraka, national organizer of the Black Alliance for Peace, joined Marc Lamont Hill on “Black News Tonight” to talk about BLM’s statement.
All this and more on “Black News Tonight.”
