Sending love and respect to MS Alice Walker!! Belize central America!! We love Cuba here!!✌🙏🌎🤗💖💯
Alice is so softly but well spoken. Testament to her parents and her education!
The best interview I heard about my country Cuba suffer many decades from USA embargo it is time to change
Alice Walker put it to the point - We are in a white mill detention center called capitalism, i.e. slavery. She did not say it quite that way, but To The Point! Viva la Castro!
Alice and her mom are truly magnificent Black Women, #BlackGirlsRock.
Ms. Alice Walker I love your warm sweet spirit, intellect and sense of humor .
Such a quiet spirit about her.
This woman is a genius! If Cuba 🇨🇺 had Castro as a dictator then USA 🇺🇸 had 9 dictators within the same period! Long live Cuba 🇨🇺
I bet you don't actually live in Cuba. If you did, you would certainly feel differently.
@@dannyknightblade4592 I bet you never lived in a redline community in America
@@ramonsuarez2884 Any neighborhood in America is better than living in Cuba.
@@dannyknightblade4592 Like I figured you never lived in a redlined community in America and witnessed the generational incarceration, police harassment, drug influx and unequal wealth equality..Cuba is no different than any other Caribbean or central American or South American country ...Besides the United States waging economic warfare against it for 60 yrs...excluding Venezuela..
@@dannyknightblade4592 Florida the state has more people incarcerated than any place in the world..Now imagine the entire Country ....Like I figured you don't have a clue
Cuba is holding it down for humanity. Africans love Cuba and we will defend the Cuban revolution by any means necessary. Long live our brothers and sisters in Cuba, long live Fidel Castro!!
No we don’t
@@papyrusted What country in Africa are you from?
Thank you, thank you... I had no idea of the role Cuba played in ending apartheid. I have enjoyed Ms Walker's works immensely and enjoyed the interview.

@RED PILL PORTAL Lead us to the source of that information.
"I come from a world where they killed everybody that spoke up, and you come from a world where they killed everybody but you."
I am so glad that in 2020 that the question as to whether socialist Cuba would survive has been answered. Viva Fidel
Where can I read about this? Because I have a Spanish Auntie telling me different
@@Black_carpet3000 about what specifically? The revolution? Or the special period in the 90s?
@@Adyingcolonialism42 One major point she tries to make is that Fidel crippled the Cuban economy. I wonder if that’s true and if its as bad or if the US embargo on Cuba had a lot to do with that
@@Adyingcolonialism42 what was the special period?
@@Black_carpet3000 the special period refers to the years directly after the fall of the Soviet Union. The USSR was cubas largest trading partner, something like 75% of all trade Cuba did was with the USSR & the socialist bloc, so when that trade went away of course the economy collapsed. On top of that you add the US embargo and it truly was a desperate time. It’s increíble that the the government was able to pull through it
The man said “HISTORY WILL ABSOLVE ME.”
First of all let’s talk about this glow 🤩
The Glow.....??
That's that same Childhood Curiosity which she mentioned regarding what she got to notice on Fidel Castro...
Freedom is Curiosity!!!!!!
That's how you glow when you don't consume dead animals all the time. Alice walker is a vegan/vegetarian who eats chicken time to time. Dead animals are low vibrating, and eating them makes you die quicker, age fast and look old because it's hard on the body to process, well as become inferior and weaker due to arteries being clogged in the brain and body. Erectile dysfunction and about every disease including coronavirus is tied to consumption of dead animals
@@juanpueblo316 the glow is due to her diet. You are what you eat. All plant based people who don't eat dead animals glow like this
@@godjhaka7376 19:30 not white
I love her. She's just so brilliant.
Alice ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I would love to hear Alice speak about her time in Russia .
Truly a great interview wish more people read and open thier minds
@17:00 exactly, it's up to the people of CUBA to decide who should be in charge there and for how long, not the United States. National self-determination for the world's peoples
She speaks of Cuba and Fidel Castro with a Black (African) heart and spirit. Non judgemental as is our culture. Appreciation of life including humans. Nature does not clone. Everything in nature is different. She speaks like the kind Black women that raised us.
Cuba is more tribal socialism than Karl Marx's western socialism.
Marx's works are inseparable from the Cuban experiment I'd say. Western 'socialism' has never been able to achieve state power, let alone transform social relations. It is primarily focused on pedantry and academic dogmatism.
western countries had very good socialist models, for example in the DDR (germany) and to much an extent the USSR. All were plagued with problems of varying kinds - so is Cuba. The difference with Cuba (and obviously there are concrete geographical/historical differences) is that Cuba allowed criticism and creates a system where the people can feedback to the central bodies and structure. Im not sure there is a difference with both forms of socialissm, they are all socialism and are in the historical trend. As some farmers said to me in 2009 when I visited Cuba - Cuba stands on the shoulders of the USSR. This is not to undermine some of the African roots of Cuban peoples and their socialism - which strengthens it greatly.
@m g It also does produce your home, car, prepared food, shoes, airplanes, currency, concept of country, concept of government, concept of religion, books, pens, clothes... So you stop using them and mind your own business.
Ignorant of the topic, diversity of cultures and support of that. Intolerance on your part not to heed.
@m g According to you? Why? Hyperbole. Provide facts or evidence. The US or UK is clearly a great model of capitalism, absolute corruption, racism and imperialism...
@m g and the reason you don't have the files of imperialism is because it still exists and you appear to have no sense of the gravity of their crimes, if your focus is hating the GDR you are a lost socialist. What next... ? I can't believe someone would not defend the legacy (no, not agreeing with everything, no need to be so polarised, be more nuanced) of the socialist nations and then turn around and call themselves socialist, as if they somehow knew more than the socialists themselves. What ignorance
Belize central America sending love and respect to our brother Cuba!!✌🙏🌎🤗💖💯
Thank you!
So calm and dignified.
Her mother sounds like a great nurturer.
Phenomenal interview
Rest in Power Comrade Fidel ✊🏽
What an enlighten and beautiful human being, Alice is truly a inspiration to see life with loving glowing eyes. - She is the definition of this emoji: 😍
This useful idiot is only a visitor. She has never had to live there.
@@patrickmccarron5059 Most people who did live there support Fidel. The gusanos in Miami do not represent the Cuban population.
@@scottya2745 , do yourself a favor and watch "patria y vida" music video by black Cubans forced to live under Castro's Cuba - used closed captioning to translate the word to English. czcams.com/video/pP9Bto5lOEQ/video.html
@@scottya2745 , that would explain why they risk their lives crossing an ocean to get here. And why that Cuban baseball player defected last week. That would explain why 1/5 of the entire Cuban Population left Cuba to come to Miami. Yeah living under communism is just great. People love waiting in line all day for a piece of bread.
@@scottya2745 , the Nazis (National Socialist Party of Adolf Hitler, versus International Socialist Party of Karl Marx) said the same thing about the Jews they exiled and killed. Called them worms. Said these Jews were not German. Well hate to break it to you - they were German, just like the 1/5 Cubans who escaped Communist Cuba are also Cuban.
Wonderful, sweet soul . . . . On Castro, Uruguayan author Eduardo Galeano gave the view of him that is likely to endure:
Fidel Castro, 1926-2016
His enemies say he was an uncrowned king who confused unity with unanimity.
And in that his enemies are right.
His enemies say that if Napoleon had a newspaper like Granma, No Frenchman would have learned of the disaster at Waterloo.
And in that his enemies are right.
His enemies say that he exercised power by talking a lot and listening little, because he was more used to hearing echoes than voices.
And in that his enemies are right.
But some things his enemies do not say: it was not to pose for the history books that he bared his breast to the invaders' bullets,
he faced hurricanes as an equal, hurricane to hurricane,
he survived six hundred and thirty-seven attempts on his life,
his contagious energy was decisive in making a country out of a colony,
and it was not by Lucifer's curse or God's miracle that the new country managed to outlive ten U.S. presidents, their napkins spread in their laps, ready to eat it with knife and fork.
And his enemies never mention that Cuba is one rare country that does not compete for the World Doormat Cup.
And they do not say that the revolution, punished for the crime of dignity, is what it managed to be and not what it wished to become.
Nor do they say that the wall separating desire from reality grew ever higher and wider thanks to the imperial blockade, which suffocated a Cuban-style democracy, militarized society, and gave the bureaucracy, always ready with a problem for every solution, the alibis it needed to justify and perpetuate itself.
And they do not say that in spite of all the sorrow, in spite of the external aggression and the internal high-handedness, this distressed and obstinate island has spawned the least unjust society in Latin America.
And his enemies do not say that this feat was the outcome of the sacrifice of its people, and also of the stubborn will and old-fashioned sense of honor of the knight who always fought on the side of the losers, like his famous colleague in the fields of Castile.
-----Eduardo Galeano, Mirrors, 2009
For AFRIKANS .. going to CUBA is just like going to visit an Uncle/Ant's house...
AFRIKA Being HOME.. and CUBA Being just a Residence....(temporary)
Ase
"Sounds like a sexual thing to me" hahahahaha hilarious .
If the US had asked her to submit her manuscripts before she published, she would have understood Cuba under Castro.

Great job sending daughter to Cuba VIVA CLBA!
Love her.
I truly agree about the cubans in Miami against Clinton .
I only wish Comrade Walker knew more about Cuba's constitution and election procedures. Check out AzureScapegoat's video on Cuban democracy:

I love her so much she’s a QUEEN
He was examining her dreadlocks because he maintained his child’s mind…. Riiiiight
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 #blackgirlmagicinmotion 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
It is extremely sad to say the least. Fidel Castro placed all the GAYS in boats and sent them to Miami. He separated families with his passion. People talk all they want without any experience of a country like Cuba. They should live in that country for years and then hear their narrative, again. So extremely sad.
She just talked about a '"'friend who offered her a scholarship and money.. but REJECTED it...
Reason??
The STRINGS ATTACHED...
... very interesting indeed...
18:25 I also thought the same thing. 😂
I wonder if Alice Walker got to meet Kwame Ture?
@@LarzGustafsson Yes, him too. I knew and worked with Kwame Ture. That was cool.
He would've called her out on her bullshit movies the same way He called out spike lee.
@@LarzGustafsson Yes.
@RED PILL PORTAL Understood
@@NkrumahTure 32:30 what book ?
Can we talk about the countless pro agent Gloria Steinem
Every channel like this I came upon, thus far does not address Assays Shakur or formerly known as Joann Chesimire. Why is this? Her mentioning Fidel and Cuba prompted this comment.
This is Alice walker fool. I know it’s hard to understand that because you think we all look alike in addition to the fact that you can’t read.
If a black man did what Alice Walker has done, he would be six feet under the ground.

4:40 then why do you live here?
Why do you ? And who are you to prescribe the opinions of others to be acceptable, or not ? Do you also write such childish, anti-Democratic poppycock to white supremacists ? Highly unlikely. You are possessed with an obsessive hatred of the left. And you’ll have to live with that seething detestation. Because the left is not going anywhere, and no leftist would ever conceive of agreeing with a single syllable you utter or type.
She lives here because she's a fraud like every typical lefty. She knows that if she actually lived in Cuba she would be oppressed for real. No country or continent in the world treats blk people as well as America does- including Africa. It's so easy for know- it- alls to live in luxury in a prosperous country while ignoring the great hardships actual oppressed people experience in Cuba. It's sad that so many smooth brains actually buy into these race baiting clowns. You wanna know what life is truly like for the people of Cuba- ask an actual Cuban- not these fake revolutionaries.
What a complicated insight
29:00 lonely
Viva Marxist! Viva 2 the true Revolutionaries. Hanauni K Trask of Hawaii add to your play list, I see I'm going to be here 4 a good while Viva Cuba!
Discovery!!! From serious brain injury, to waking six months later to a phone, to googling Rolling Stones for music, to finding Keith more interesting than Jagger, to Keith taking me to Mississippi, to me leaning the understanding of the oppression of the English, to the Christians, to the Church of England, to the Spanish, to the Spanish Inquisition, to the Portuguese Man of War Governor Grey who controlled South Africa, Australia and New Zealand, where I'm stuck controlled by the last missionary on a failed but still active secretly, private prison island empire. Maori people here are mega more oppressed than people of colour in America, but this country was sold to an American timber trader, then used by the English as a sheep farm, as they did ti the welsh and scottish... the primeminister here still needs to get permission from the boss of the Church of England to be primeminister... and you speak her English!!! Unlike Castro, or Putin, and mandala is bilingual. And capital letters show being owned by the queen. And alot of your flags and words are based on English militia language. NOT WELSH!!!
Fatherland and Life - watch on CZcams. (And see how black Cubans really feel about Castro)

omg shes STUNNINGLY beautiful !! Alkways knew of her genius but WOW.....
9:27 if someone does that today they would be crucified on social media for fetishizing hair. But when castro does it.. a peal of joyful wonderment.
Are you a descendant of far-right, white Cuban fanatics per chance ? Alike to that unbearable cartoon character, Rubio ?
My only issue with Walker is her anti-semitism.
What ‘ anti - semitism ‘ ? Do you mean the type ( !? ) that expresses dismay at Palestinians having their lives almost completely destroyed by fanatics from Brooklyn ? Or, the type of ‘ anti - semitism ‘ that saw Jews of Arabic antecedents in Morocco, in particular, rise up in indignation against white, Ashkenazi oppression, or simply leave, for Morocco, Australia, Europe, the US and so forth ?
@@matthewwhitton5720 No. Not at all. In fact I applaud her support of Palestine. Isrsel should not exist, it is a disgusting horrific entity. What I cannot stomach however is her assertion that Israel is what it is because of the Talmud and Jewish religious belief, rather than Israel being a manifestation of colonialism operating from the same capitalist evil as the US, Britain, Canada, and Europe. She wrote a poem that asserts the Talmud is evil while saying one must study it with an open mind, which belies that a good chunk of what she disagrees with in the Talmud is either contradicted by other parts of the Talmud or were written in response to Christian oppression of Jews.
Secondly, she has numerous times praised authors known for anti-semitic conspiracy theories.
Denouncing evil is important, but in the case of Isntreal she didn't denounce evil with good, but with more evil. (I say this as a Muslim with Jewish and Christian loved ones)
@@oliviasonell960 As always all jeudo-christian-islam writings are writen by people for a political purpose in the time of the writing thats why the old testament is so brutal and inhumane (to provoke fear) , which is rooted in the talmud and also continued in qumran. No other writen religious documents are so diabolical, anti-humanistic and personal without any consideration about community. Thats why capitalism is so OK with all those jeudo-christian-islam religions. I am not attacking anyone whois interpreting those scriptures in a more humane way, i have a probelm with the scriptures and specially with those people who wrote and put those together in those major religious doctrines.
11:30 they were in confinement. “A new policy to allow them to visit family on weekends”. They were not allowed to leave. Sounds like a gulag to me.
This was a time when the world thought AIDS may be contagious. Gay men were kept in separate parts of prisons in the US for this very reason. It took a number of years before the world caught on to how the virus functioned.
really disappointed with this upload, She casts black men in an unfavorable light because of isolated bad encounters & is married to a caucasoid. This was a miss.
A caucasoid?
Really disgusting...
The name tells it all-AfroMarxist. Black marxist have a great analysis but because they are more leftist than african centered they celebrate the Walkers, Hooks and Davises as radicals. It’s a nuance that bothers me but I just chew out fat.
This woman didn’t understand the meaning of, “enemy.” Either she didn’t or refused to accept it. This woman was primarily concerned with women issues...not necessarily humanitarian issues. If she had lived to see women running the show she’d have been in for the rude awakening that they’d have been at least as oppressive as men are in charge. An awakening like the person she referred to that was ill with leukemia. What she’s say, ‘but not saying,’ is that women would run the world better. How naive. If I find myself in a country run primarily by the more emotional gender of the species I’m exiting 😎
23:10 there
George Subira spoke in Money Issues in black male femsle relationships
Are you saying we all share the same agenda?
