How Do We Learn to Hate Cuba?

How Do We Learn to Hate Cuba?
September 12, 2013

Henry G. Delforn*

HAVANA TIMES — How do we learn to hate what we don’t know? In the Gaza Strip, Palestine, a mother teaches her child how to throw a stone at the tanks of war against the Israelis. This useless act is not in defense but an act of hate transmitted from mother to child. In Hialeah, Florida, Cuban parents teach their child how to consume and produce propaganda against Cuba in the media war. This useless act is not in defense but an act of hate transmitted from mother to child.

Take the example of Florida Senator Rene Garcia. This young Republican, who was born in Hialeah in 1974 to Cuban parents, and as will be explained here, has done incalculable harm to the state of Florida with his hatred of Cuba as conveyed by his parents. Rene Garcia’s hatred is not against a single individual, ex-president since 2008 Fidel Castro for example, or against any specific act done by the Republic of Cuba, as if the country did not have sovereignty for example. No! Rene Garcia’s hate is a useless hate burden in his soul, his hateful acts only demonstrate his love since childhood of his parents.

The word “gusanos” to refer to these parents only causes more pain, and I will not use it. What has senator Rene García done? This young fellow is one of two that in 2012 originated a law prohibiting Florida companies to bid on contract jobs with the state of Florida, if that company does business with Cuba.

I don't hate Cuba.

I don't hate any country.

I don't hate the people of any country.

I hate the government of many countries, mine included.

I am not anti government.

I am anti corrupt incompetent government.

The world does not have to be divided into the haves and have nots.

This is intentional.

People without a conscience, empathy, or sympathy will always take advantage of hard working, easing going people.

Throughout history the few have always had control over the many.

I had hoped to see change in my lifetime.

My hope has faded.
