Overt
Racism Gives Cuban Ideal a Sinister Hue
I have lived
in the US on and off for the past three years and
have yet to experience racial profiling, or what
people of colour in America know as walking/driving/breathing

and was subjected to racial profiling five times
-- all in one day.

The
Cuban farm revolution 'forgot'
The redistribution
of land following the Cuban revolution 47 years
ago was the most complete in all of Latin America
- and something which Fidel Castro has often said
he is most proud of. But there are exceptions as
our Cuba correspondent Stephen Gibbs found when
he visited the farm which the revolution apparently
forgot.
