This is a tale of two black women in Cuba… One a victim of apartheid in
Cuba, the other a beneficiary of apartheid in Cuba.

The first is Sonia Garro, born and raised in Cuba. She is currently
residing in a Castro prison for the crime of demanding respect for human
rights and the freedom to express her views. After being violently
arrested, she and her husband (who is also black) have been held for
more than a year by the Castro dictatorship without charges and without
a trial. The world for the most part does not know who she is and there
has been little to no outcry for the injustice she is suffering.

The second black woman is Beyonce Carter, an American music superstar
born and raised in the United States. She is currently vacationing in
Cuba with her husband, music mogul Jay-Z, as VIP guests of the apartheid
dictatorship of the Castro family. She is enjoying the luxuries offered
in Cuba only to foreigners, which is staffed by the slaves owned by the
Cuban regime, the majority of which are Afro Cubans. The world has been
enthralled by the stories and pictures coming out of Cuba of her and her
husband strolling the streets of Havana accompanied by bodyguards and
handlers from the Castro dictatorship. For the most part, there has been
little to no outcry over their incredibly insensitive and idiotic
decision to vacation in Cuba and provide support and publicity for a
racist regime that would have imprisoned her and her outspoken husband
if they had the misfortune of being born in Cuba.

Now imagine how a black Cuban woman like Sonia Garro must feel after
hearing that a prominent and influential black American woman has
visited her country and instead of advocating for and demanding her
release and the end of the apartheid system in Cuba, she is instead
partying with regime officials and enjoying amenities not only built and
maintained by enslaved blacks in Cuba, but denied to them as well."
