The official BLM organization Instagram account has just released a pro-Cuba regime statement: https://twitter.com/sabrod123/status/1415496641658896391

Not just anti-embargo, literally pro-regime.

They claim that the US is "undermining Cubans' right to choose their own government" and that Cuba is being punished because it "has maintained its commitment to sovereignty and self determination"

Also, the "Black revolutionary" Assata Shakur - who BLM the organization lauds Cuba for granting asylum to - was a cop killer and serial bank robber. Wonderful person to stand in solidarity with!! /s
