4. Dark skins??. This blockade has nothing to do with the skin color.

It is about the Cuban Govt structure itself.

Trickle down socialism has kept the Cuban people with a pittance of what they should have always benefitted from.

When foreign goods are given to the Cuban govt for their people & 3/4 is confiscated for itself, while only 1/4 is distributed back to its citizens, then the problem isn't in those who give,.it is within the corrupt govt structure
THAT IS WHAT BIDEN SEEKS TO CHANGE.

Even Cuba's own leader agrees, the problem is within their own gov't.
