Racism is a refuge for the ignorant. It seeks to divide and to destroy. It is the enemy of freedom, and deserves to be met head-on and stamped out.

   Cuba and Cuban Americans
 
 

ON POINT with Tom Ashbrook- On Monday, when President Obama lifted restrictions for Cuban Americans on travel and remittances to Cuba, he made good on a campaign promise. He also became the latest President since Kennedy to deal with Cuba — without dealing with Cuba.

Cuba won’t have a place at the thirty-five nation Summit of the Americas that starts tomorrow in Trinidad and Tobago, with President Obama in attendance. But the American embargo on the island nation — and pressure on the U.S. to end it — certainly will.

Some charge that Obama is giving away a diplomatic chip. But at tomorrow’s summit, the president will likely hear that the U.S. isn’t giving enough. And while the rest of the hemisphere calls for lifting the embargo on Cuba, the Cuban community in America is divided.
