Contrary to what you may have been led to believe, Castro, like Trudeau, has always been very popular in NYC.[/QUOTE
America is balkanized. The people who live in NYC for the most part consider people like me to be their enemies. So citing them as examples doesn't resonate with me.
I distinctly recall him interviewed on Spanish language TV where he was viewed as a liberator by the majority of Hispanics and by liberals.
People who hate me talked. That's all.
Too bad the boycott was never lifted or reformers would have taken over in Cuba a long time ago.
Idle speculation imo. What's the difference between the Cuban Communist Party and the Korean Worker's Party? Location.
By the way, since nobody could come up with any evidence that Trudeau hated the USA, I tried to find some links to prove that myth that he was anti-USA. So far, nothing has turned up and, of course, nothing ever will because it is just another example of right wing myth making.
The friend of my enemy is sometimes my enemy.
^ Castro also loves NY which is why he spent so much time there.
NYC also loved him as shown in this huge pro-Castro rally from 1960:
and the one for him in 1990.
New Yorkers are considered ignorant by Californians.
