Miami Cubans Didn’t Listen to Black Americans… Now Reality Hit Hard.

追加: 2026-05-25

[00:00:00]Why do the Cubans and Colombians here hate the blacks so much and make it blatant obvious? Like, I do not understand.

[00:00:06]>> Miami is a racist place. I didn't know.

[00:00:09]>> I will vote.

[00:00:13]Hey, vote.

[00:00:17]>> I didn't vote for this, but I definitely voted Republican.

[00:00:21]>> That's not what I voted for. That's not what I voted. This is what you voted for.

[00:00:27]>> We're asking for your help. I don't think that we as brown people should be asking another race of people to help us. I think if another race of people want to help voluntarily, then that's that.

[00:00:39]>> The Cubans there live in this bubble where they're the majority and they think that they're white and and they live a certain in a certain bubble of privilege where you don't they don't see um discrimination directed towards them because they're the majority. But I promise you to those Cubans that haven't really left South Florida, just drive a couple hours north and you're going to realize you're not white. You're not white. You're never going to be white enough for them.

[00:01:02]>> They don't care if you don't if you don't look the part. If you don't sound the part, they will they will take you and we will see you later, man. We'll see you when we see you cuz we don't know.

[00:01:11]>> Oh my god. The Cubans and Colombians go out their way to be rude, nasty, and racist to us. And I don't understand it.

[00:01:16]>> So many black Americans are asking this question. Why do many Miami Cubans tend to dislike black Americans? Why? There's a difference between Cubans found in Miami, Florida, and Cubans found in Havana, the capital city of Cuba. For those who have been to Havana, you will find that many of the Cubans in Havana are not as white as the Cubans found in Miami, Florida. Many Cubans in Havana on the streets of Havana, they are black. I'm talking about deep black. So why is that? And why the Cubans in Miami probably tend to vote Republicans every time. There's a part of history that explain this. I want us to first of all listen to these clips. I come back at the end and explain why all of this is happening.

[00:02:05]The video is for educational purposes.

[00:02:10]>> This is what you voted for. And don't act shock. Hey, don't act shocked now.

[00:02:15]You shocked now. Don't act shocked now.

[00:02:18]Sitting there acting like you just found out the casino was rigged after you done handed them people your rent money. Pat, don't don't do that. Don't act shock.

[00:02:24]This is Wayne.

[00:02:25]>> It wants that she's been taken. I call it kidnapped her because it basically is. Wayne voted for Donatk because he was told that ICE was only going to go after violent criminals, gangs, dangerous people, not you know the the Cuban woman that he was about to marry, the the the the immigrant that he was laying next to every Noi. But here's the thing that everybody don't want to say out loud. Wayne is not alone. There are thousands of Ways out there. Matter of fact, some of y'all Waynees is watching this right now. people who thought that the crackdown would stop at their doorstep, that it would only touch other people's families. ICE has now detained over 1,000 children. 1,000 kids. Kids are walking to school and getting snatched up. Kids are coming home looking for their parents and getting snatched up. Meanwhile, a federal judge literally called ISIS tactics an attack on constitutional order. ICE whistleblowers have made it known that many of these agents are graduating without even knowing their constitutional duties, without knowing the limits of their authority and without knowing how to recognize an unlawful order.

[00:03:28]Meanwhile, my tax dollars, your tax dollars. Did you know that DHS quietly has garnered over $600 million in FEMA funds? Yes, our disaster money. This money is being put into ICE facilities.

[00:03:43]Private contractors are seeing massive year overyear profit increases. And somebody bought Christy Nolan a $70,000 luxury jet for deportations. Of course, you know, it's always about public safety. Wayne regrets his vote now, but regret does not reunite these children with their parents. Regret doesn't give a first grader his daddy back. You know what does? Accountability. Keeping this story alive. Cuz we all know that they're counting on us to stop talking about this stuff. So, I ain't gonna stop talking about it. I ain't gonna stop talking about book for not. I ain't gonna stop talking about it until this foolishness ends. And neither should you.

[00:04:21]>> Yo, as a Cuban living in Miami, I want to apologize on behalf of the rest of us that just don't see it. I don't know. I don't know what it is that we don't see.

[00:04:31]The the Department of Homeland Security is telling us what it is and a lot of y'all are acting completely oblivious to the situation. So, the Department of Homeland Security tweeted out, "The stakes have never been higher, and the goal has never been more clear.

[00:04:47]Remigration." Now, what is remigration, you might ask?

[00:04:53]Remigration is a European far-right concept of ethnic cleansing via the mass deportation of non-white minority populations, especially immigrants, and sometimes including those born in Europe and holding European citizenship. See, now that term has a very long history.

[00:05:07]Go ahead, look it up. But that is the the the gist of it is the ethnic cleansing part. Mind you, these are the same people that came out with the Pokemon Got to Catch them all ice deportation video that Pokemon themselves had to come out and say like, "Yo, we had we had no part in that." And I don't know if y'all have seen the deportation videos, but they're not going around asking y'all for for docu for documents if you can't speak English. And what's even crazier is that it's like 43% of Miami doesn't speak English.

[00:05:35]Y'all, y'all think ice isn't going to make its way down here? They're letting us cool out for a bit because they know that a large m a large large majority of Miami is is Republican. A lot of Hispanics are Republican. But you think they're not they're not going to plan to come down here at some point in these next three years?

[00:05:55]But listen, man. All I'm saying is if you got family that doesn't speak any sort of English, look out for them. That's all. us cuz they they are playing games. Man, >> the black community is mad because we're asking for their help. Instead of responding in a good way, they're really bashing us, bashing Mexicans and saying >> I I do have something to say first.

[00:06:18]This is my humble opinion. I think where we go wrong is that we ask for their help.

[00:06:27]>> Absolutely.

[00:06:28]>> And let me elaborate. I don't think that we as brown people should be asking another race of people to help us. I think if another race of people want to help voluntarily, then that's that. I'm going to give you a great example. I've had a black woman, Latina, but black, right? Who is more involved in the Latino community than the black community as a black woman but from Latin America. So much so that before Donald Trump was elected, she reached out to me and said, "Ricardo, you have a lot of black people that listen to you.

[00:07:04]Can you please talk to them to help us Latinos?" She's black.

[00:07:11]She's telling a Mexican guy, "Can you please talk to your overwhelming black audience to help us Latinos?"

[00:07:20]I'm like, "You're black." But you see, this is how these kind of terminologies have kind of ruined us a little bit >> that in in the case of like black Latinos, if you will, they're so busy, and I mean this with all due respect to the black Latinos, they're so busy trying to be Latinos that they forget about black people. and they're black from my observation to the point where a a a black woman is asking me and she's got a large following but she has been using her following to be involved in the Latino community and she has to ask me and this is what I told her though. This is what I said. I said I will not do that. I will not ask black people to help us at all actually. And and what was disrespectful the most was when I saw that over 60% of Latinos voted for Trump. Cuban-American woman from Miami here. Actually, I'm from Hy Alleia.

[00:08:21]That's real real deep. If you know, you know. Um I'm from Halia. I'm originally a Hyia girl. I am from South Florida. I grew up in a Cuban community. My mom's Cuban. I um I'm ashamed and I just want to tell the world I'm sorry. Most of, you know, not all of us Cubans are like that. Some of us do have empathy. Some of us do feel solidarity with the rest of the Latino community that's going through it. Some of us knew this was going to happen and tried to warn our friends and family. I have to explain to you why it it's so different in South Florida. I'm ashamed. I'm ashamed of your votes. I'm ashamed of those stupid [ __ ] videos I see you posting. You're embarrassing yourselves because, you know, I see those those three tacos I mean three Doritos later videos and I can't help but [ __ ] laugh. Sometimes I feel bad. I feel bad because the person getting deported didn't vote for [ __ ] But, you know, I have family members that are getting deported and I have family members that voted for this [ __ ] [ __ ] you know, and I'm never going to have share a table with them because now you want to feel sorry and now you want to feel bad. Now you'll see the consequences of your action where our own [ __ ] family is getting deported, you know. Um, it's too little too late.

[00:09:31]Too little too late. I see some of you crying on these videos saying how you regret your vote. I just wish I wish you had like thought about it before, but these are the consequences. This is what happens when you don't give a [ __ ] about your other fellow humans. Karma's going to get right back at you. So again, this is an apology video.

[00:09:50]>> Miami is a racist place. I didn't know.

[00:09:54]I'm not the only one that didn't know.

[00:09:56]Other people didn't know either. It turns out they have an issue with colorism as well as racism in Miami.

[00:10:06]There was a nightclub and they said the light-skinned girl, she can go in. But here it is. They said you are too dark to come into this club. You do not know racism until you have heard ethnic minorities hating on each other because of the color of their skin, the shade, the lightness of their skin. It turns out it goes all the way back to when the white Kubans left Kuba. They were the ruling people. They went to Miami and they feel like all the people who have come after them are lower class, ghetto as anything. And the blacks, well, they're not really feeling them like that. All of this stuff about uh black equality, they feel that's socialism. All you guys asking for civil rights, that's socialism. And we just left a nation that was ravaged by communism. There's overlap between communism and socialism.

[00:11:10]I didn't know. Did you know?

[00:11:13]>> When I'm in Cali, different Latinos, but me and Mexicans, great. New York, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, blacks, great. In South Florida, oh my god, the Cubans and Columbus go out their way to be rude, nasty, and racist to us. And I don't understand it. And of course, I'm not saying all. Don't ever get it confused.

[00:11:29]I'm never saying all. I have some really close friends that are Cuban. Love them to death. But the majority is wild.

[00:11:35]Like, it's so weird to me. And there's so many Afroubans. I'm like, "Do you guys see the Afro creepers like this in Cuba? Like, how how is this going?"

[00:11:42]Like, they go out their way to be rude, nasty, and racist and let you know in their face. They're damn near worse than the white people that are racist. I'm like, "What are we doing here?" Like, I have a home girl. Love her down. She's Cuban. Um, she looks more like a lighter comp, but she has like forcy hair. And she even tells me how hard it is for her family. Oh my god, it's embarrassing.

[00:12:00]It's embarrassing. Straighten, straighten, straight. And I'm like, why?

[00:12:03]But like the other day, I was thinking like an hour away from my house in South Florida. So, I decided to get a hotel because I didn't feel like driving an hour. It's going to be at night. Guy at the front desk, so rude, nasty me. Check at 3:00. It's like 2:50. I see a per a Latino woman in front of me check in.

[00:12:18]And after me, he lets my check. Nope.

[00:12:19]You better wait. And you can't lay on the couch. You can't do this on the couch. I'm like, "Sorry." And I literally just like lean on the couch on the pillow to wait like on the armrest.

[00:12:27]I'm like, "Okay." Then in the middle of the night, I come down to buy something from the store in the hotel. He's like, "The store's closed. I'm doing inventory." I'm like, "Oh, okay. been walking away how long it be all night.

[00:12:38]You mean to tell me the store is closed all night? Really? 10 minutes later, I'm in the hallway getting some ice. I see a Hispanic man and woman coming in with drinks. So, where' you guys get it from?

[00:12:47]Oh, the store downstairs. I said he said it was closed. Oh, yeah. Yeah. He just took the rope off and opened it for me cuz it was just a rope.

[00:12:53]I'm like, what? Like, and that's just a small thing. I mean, it happens every day. The other day I'm in Walmart selfch checkout bringing out stuff and mind you I'm bringing out stuff for work so I got like a lot of little candies and gum little cheap stuff like a dollar or two and the lady's watching me. I can feel her burning into my back. Mind you it's like eight eight um selfch check anybody else. I'm the only black person there though. Next thing I know she runs to the door. I I want to check your bag. I said no. Why? Let me check. So she's trying to count every little thing and I have like 30 little things. All of them are $2 or less. She's coming to come home. I think you missed one. I'm like, "Nope, it's right here." And I did two separate transactions, so I know she's pissed now. But I'm like, and then another lady comes to the door, another Spanish lady, and she's like, "No, no, no. You're not doing this to her. You guys kill me every time I come in the store. You guys treat black people bad.

[00:13:43]My baby's father is black. We're not doing this." And they start arguing in Spanish. So, I appreciate her standing up for me, but why do you have to? Mind you. Mind you, it's a lady to the right of me, a Hispanic lady. Dead ass. I seen her steal it. I ain't taking that in my business. But you so busy watching me, not even watching shorty over here. Like I don't know. I just want answers. I just want to know if anyone knows the reason why it's so much division and and what the hate is about. Cuz I I don't like that. Like what are we doing? You know what I'm saying? We're all minorities. Let's love each other. Like what's what's the problem? You guys let me know. Y'all have a blessed day later.

[00:14:16]I want to ask a question to all of the Cubans in Miami. Um most of y'all look like me, if not lighter, with green eyes or blue eyes. With that being said, when I visited Havana, something that I noticed was that most people living in Havana are unambiguously black, darker than me. And I mean unambiguously black.

[00:14:37]So, when y'all are advocating for the free use of the n-word, are y'all also advocating for sanctions to be lifted on the people who are actively living in Cuba now, or are y'all only using the privilege that you genuinely have to advocate for the free use of the n-word?

[00:14:54]Like I said, I've seen you guys drop a ton of excuses, but I really want to know what are you actively doing with your American privilege and your white privilege for the people in Cuba besides perpetuating anti-blackness and then falling victim and claiming victimhood for the justification to use an awful word.

[00:15:15]>> So, I'm from New York and I just got back from Miami like a week ago. Um, and I was just sitting back and reflecting on the cultural differences between um, New York and Miami. And one of the things that I was just thinking about, which nobody really talks about, is this weird underlying obsession with girls being like exotic and foreign. And I really hate using those terms because they just like they ick me out. Like I feel like it dehumanizes people so much when you say [ __ ] like, "Oh my god, you're exotic." I'm not a [ __ ] bird, but for the sake of the video, I'm using those terms because that is word for word what I was hearing other people saying there. I noticed that there was this very strange obsession with being like mixed with something, which I'm really not used to in New York because I feel like in New York it's like you are what you are and you're very proud of that. Like if you're black, you're black and you say that and you're proud of that. Like if you're Latino, you're Latino. You say that, you're proud of that. If you're Asian, you're Asian.

[00:16:17]It's like everything because it's very diverse. People are very accepting, yada yada yada. In Miami, it was different though. It was like everyone was asking you constantly in your business like, "What are you mixed with?" "Well, what are you? Are you Latina? Are you Like I thought it was very bizarre to a degree I had never experienced before." Mind you, I'm Haitian American. I never really get any issues when I tell people I'm Haitian-American other than maybe a couple of ignorant people here and there who make ignorant comments. But like for the most part, I just say that it's like, "Okay, conversation is over. Move on." But it's like when I was saying this to people in Miami was like, "What?" Literally, I got approached at the beach. I was at Miami Beach and someone approached me and was like, "Oh, well, what are you mixed with?" First of all, where's hello, hi, how are you? Uh, no, but they jumped to what are you mixed with? I was very [ __ ] confused and I was honestly annoyed because I I hate questions like that. I genuinely hate them. And I was like, "Uh, I'm Haitian. I'm black." Cuz that's what I tell people all the time. And that's never in New York. That's never an issue. People again, it's like end a conversation, move on. He was like, "No, that can't be possible. There has to be more. You have to be mixed with other things." And he went on and proceeded to tell me how in Colia there's women who look exactly like me, but they're not black and they would never identify with being black. I'm like, that sounds like a personal issue, and I don't really know what to tell you. Um, and I'm like, what is this like antilackness like sentiment? And what's up with people trying to tell you, your ancestry, and what you're mixed with? Please don't be concerned about me. Be concerned about yourself. Mind your business. I think what bothered me most about it is that every time I did tell people I was Haitian, I almost felt like there was this weird negative reaction to it, which is almost ironic because of the number of Haitians that there are. But I think it's because people were thinking or wanting me to say that I was something else, whether it was like Colombian, Dominican, whatever the [ __ ] people like pre like their preconceived notions about me and then when it didn't match what they thought, it was almost like they were disappointed or annoyed when I said I was Haitian. And I'm not kidding, this happened like three times within the span of the week I was there.

[00:18:24]I never got approached once in New York, people asking me these types of questions. So yeah, I didn't really [ __ ] with it or this weird obsession with being mixed and what are you mixed with and you're exotic and foreign. It's weird. It's really weird and it's giving colorists. A lot of it was just giving colorists. Um that this is like a weird beauty standard. Like you have to be mixed to be beautiful and if you tell people that you're black, it's like they're mad or disappointed. I don't know. It rubbed me the wrong way. Um, and yeah, other than that, I guess Miami is cool or whatever. I couldn't live there, but you know, different strokes for different folks.

[00:19:00]>> Well, I'm here to tell you that us Cubans in Miami, we are next. You are next. Your Thea's next. Your nieces, your nephews are next.

[00:19:14]So if you don't open your eyes now when when it's too late when you're asking I don't send me back don't send my back babe it's too late after that.

[00:19:27]I'm just saying wake up from one Cuban from Miami to another.

[00:19:33]Just don't wake up before it's too late.

[00:19:35]>> All right brothers and sisters. Shalom.

[00:19:38]Shalom. You have watched all of those clips. Many of them are talking about their encounters with Cubans, specifically Cubans in Miami, Florida.

[00:19:49]And you may ask yourself, why don't these Cubans in Miami don't like black people? That's what I'm going to clarify here. But as you're watching this video, I want you to write down there in the comment section, I am proud to be a black America. Now, let's keep going.

[00:20:03]When many people think about Cubans, especially if they have never been to Cuba, they think of the Cubans they see in Miami, Florida. They think about the people working in stores, the people who dominate a lot of neighborhoods in Miami. But if we are being honest, some folks, especially black folks, have had experiences there where they felt unwelcome, judged, looked at a certain way. Some people even say that they experienced discrimination from the Cuban communities in Miami, Florida. But if you actually go and look at Cuba itself, especially places like Havana, you are going to notice something that may surprise a lot of people. Cuba is not just made of one type of people. You have white Cubans, mixed race Cubans, black Cubans. See, I'm talking about deep black Cubans who look just as black as people from Africa or from the Caribbean. And that makes some people ask a serious question. If Cuba itself is diverse, why does Miami sometimes feel it very different? To understand that, you've got to go back to the history. After the Cuban revolution in 1959, when Fidel Castro took power, the first group of Cubans who left the country with from wealthier families, business owners, land owners, professionals, and people connected to the old system before Castro. Many of these people were lighter skinned or from Cuba's privileged classes and many of them settled in Miami. Now remember these were people living communist revolution. A lot of them were anti-communist, very conservative politically and deeply focused on building what they lost. Over time they built businesses in Miami. They gained political power and they built strong communities in Miami. and their influence the influence of those Cubans the first wave Cubans influenced Miami city heavily. Then later other groups of Cubans arrived in America through different waves of migration. These included workingclass Cubans and many Afroubans as well. But race and class tension did not just disappear after arriving in America. Some of these social divisions that existed back in Cuba were taken to the US and many of those later Cubans who came in the first wave as I told you settled in Miami.

[00:22:21]They are the ones that you saw working in many grocery stores in Miami, owning many hotels there, owning many businesses there in Miami. And you've got to understand that many of these Cubans prefer speaking Spanish than English. These Cubans, they think they are white. They think that they are better than black people. They see themselves as the higher class Cubans who should not be integrated into black people. Now, there's a lady in those clips who talked about the difference between Miami and New York. And I really want to talk about it because these are two different environments. Miami has a very strong Latino and Cuban influence.

[00:23:00]In many neighborhoods, Spanish is the main language you hear every day. Some of these Latinos love that because they feel like they are preserving their culture from their countries. But for others from other parts of the US, when they go to Miami and they hear these Latinos speaking Spanish, sometimes they feel like outsiders in their own country, especially if they don't speak Spanish themselves or fit into certain social classes. But New York, it feels different. New York is like a giant mixture of people from everywhere.

[00:23:31]You've got black Americans, Haitians, Jamaicans, Africans, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, white Americans, Asian-Americans, Arabs, Indians, everybody mixed together. In New York, people are used to being around people who look different from them. Diversity in New York is normal. That does not mean that people cannot sometimes experience racism in New York. But you are likely to experience racism in Miami than in New York. Cuz as I told you, Miami is mostly dominated by these Latinos and Cubans who prefer speaking Spanish because they want to preserve their own culture. They think they are white. They're conservatives. Many of them are Catholics. So the environment in New York and the environment in Miami is not the same. Miami developed in a more community centered way. Cuban communities they stayed close to each other businesses around each other and maintained strong cultural ties that helped them to preserve their identity.

[00:24:34]But they also tend to discriminate people from outside of their circles.

[00:24:38]You will see that these Cuban business owners in Miami tend to hire their fellow Cubans. They don't hire black folks or African immigrants. They tend to hire their fellow Cubans or probably other Latinos. And this habit of communities of immigrants isolating themselves from Americans or from other people in America is not only found in these Cubans. You see it with Africans sometimes. You see it with Asians. You see it with Arabs. You see it with Caribbean communities. Many of these immigrant group prefer to stay close to each other because they want to preserve their identity, their culture. They want to stay safe. They want to stay close to their own people because it feels safe.

[00:25:21]The problem only starts when these immigrant communities start discriminating black Americans or other Americans and they start looking down on them. But here's the thing we need to be careful about. One experience does not define everybody. Not every Latino thinks the same way. Just like not every black American thinks the same way. So people are individuals here. When we are saying that some Cubans in Miami are racist, we're not talking about all Cubans. We're just talking about some Cubans. So brothers and sisters, I think communities in America should be honest enough to have uncomfortable conversations about these topics. If there are tensions between certain black communities and Latino communities, people should be mature enough to ask why. Where is this coming from? Is it stereotypes? Is it social class? All of these things. And then they have a conversation, open conversation. They know the reasons, the causes, and what measures should be taken to get rid of this antilackness behaviors cuz they're so disgusting. We're not saying that these Cubans should have to abandon their culture or their Spanish language.

[00:26:28]We are not asking them to stop being proud of where they come from, but respect for other people should always come first because the moment people start feeling unwelcome in some spaces and I guess none of us wish this to happen. So to Latinos and black Americans, the message is for you, especially Miami Cubans. Miami Cubans, you've got to do
