The post which is getting lots of backlash from Cubans states in part: Black Lives Matter condemns the U.S. federal government’s inhumane treatment of Cubans and urges it to immediately lift the economic embargo.
It later states: The U.S. government has only instigated suffering for the country’s 11 million people, of which 4 million are Black and Brown.
Araujo, who is Black and Cuban and works as an editor for Black Enterprise, says the post misses the mark.
“You’re saying in this statement that Cuban people are suffering because of an embargo or a sanction from the U.S. and Israel and that is the smallest part of the truth,” she said.
