- Communist Cuba has long been a major foreign policy challenge for the United States. The United States and Cuba have had a strained relationship since Fidel Castro overthrew a U.S.-backed government more than sixty years ago. Do Cubans hate Americans? is a question that I was curious to know. What's the perception of Americans in Cuba? are Cubans mad at the US?
In this video I interview people in the streets of Havana and ask them whats their perception on the American People. I was very curious to understand a little more about the Cuban people. Their perceptions of the world, their values and their way of life.
The United States and Cuba share a long, complex history. First as allies and trade partners, and later as bitter ideological enemies.

The man in the green was so spot on. U spend ur whole life working here and don’t get to appreciate it
here as in Cuba I'm assuming
@@fredcollins8919 Here as in the United States.
@@Rune-Thief I truly doubt that
@@fredcollins8919 Just look at worker rights and standards compared to other western nations.
@@Rune-Thief Agreed. MORE reason then, imo, for US to quickly do everything imaginable & beyond to finally improve big time & quickly and Finally catch up to & rejoin distinguished ranks (quality of life wise,cetc etc) of Western European nations, soon very soon The sooner the better (in order to make up for all that lost time)....
My father's family is from Cuba🇨🇺🇨🇺 they are from Havana and Santiago de Cuba. Rest in peace to my father. Great video thanks for sharing.
Cuban here. Regulars cubans do not hate the US, even though the government tries to portray it as the common enemy, and tries to blame them even for their own f-ups. These people although honest, are limited in that they can share their experience with you.
Amazing video, Israel. I love the interviews... do you think this is an element you'll include going forward? It would be great to hear from the people in the places you travel to. Love, Love, Love this!!!!
Thank you 🙂 I’ll do some more videos like this yes 😉
Green shirt rant is on point 💯 (1:50 - 3:00)
This was an interesting and great video, gracias!
Very interesting gracias Israel
Simple words but great insights from those interviewees, love this type of video :)
Great video!!! great opinions….
I loved this video! It's interesting to hear the different opinions of, no, the different ways that people describe the U.S. Common themes like the government is awful but the people are nice (I'm glad that they separate us that way), and some are nice and some are evil is very astute. Please do more of these, it is nice to hear from other cultures.
Loved the video! Fun music and the interviewees were engaging!! I think a lot of travel videos kind of overlook the locals and it was nice to hear their thoughts, especially from the guy who lived in the US for 20 years - he hit the nail on the head when it comes to working a lot and having a lot of stuff!
The guy in the green shirt hit the nail on the head when he said people think it's the best in the world and it's not .. speaking as an American , I love my country , but you work work work , and still most people are barely getting by , the US is way too expensive, and the government lacks morals and empathy
6:16 wow 🔥
Good interviews too
Me encantan tus videos! Muchas gracias!
the cuban exiles loves Cuba and never forget about the island and its people.God bless America !
Great video, I would love to visit one day
El hombre en la camisa verde es muy sabio. Habla la verdad. Trabaja mucho en los EEUU por el dinero y no por la vida.
Well done, finally someone who doesnt cherry pick answers lol. i Cuba si, bloqueo NO !
Nothing well done about it. He risked their lives by asking them these questions on camera. Thankfully they aren’t stupid and towed the government line
Great video! I'll be traveling there from the US next week. So excited about the journy and the opportunity to learn more about the Cuban people and history.
Hopefully you venture from the government owned hotels and actually see the truth of how bad life is for Cubans
Come back here then , and tell us the Truth....
Don't tell us about what tourists like you expend your dollars in places where real Cuban people are not allowed to do.
Inner City.....there's where you can see the real face of the cuban Paradise....😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢.
Go to the streets and you will se the real poor Cuba and the Cuba with no freedom.
@@viktoriiav2261 haha. Nice joke. What does the government stripping Cubans of all basic freedoms like freedom of speech, freedom to protest, elections, all basic rights we take for granted in the US have to do with the sanctions? If my family in Cuba wants to leave why aren’t they allowed? Is it because of sanctions from the US? Get educated before speaking nonsense. If the US lifted the sanctions it would only make the communist party richer, while the people continue to suffer
@@jonathannaranjo5105 the embargo was meant to destabilise the nation by bringing hunger and suffering to the people (this is stated in official CIA documents). The restrictions were placed to stop the people from doing what the US wanted to accomplish with the embargo. Also the people can leave the country at their own will
Thanks for tat video... All great interviews...
I like the analogy one guy said about people and government..
THE CAPTAINS ARE NOT THE SOLDIERS...
I now live in the Philippines...
The government is not good but the people are fantastic..
Woo que bonito es cuba y su cultura
Los imperialistas yanquis son racistas y corruptos
As an American I feel every country has good people and bad people and as a whole I think everyone in life wants to take care of their family I have no problem with anyone But our government does not define who we the people are do not get that confused.
Interesting as a black American i agree with alot of them
Makes sense as many of them were black themselves
Same here!
I like knowing what people in other countries think of the United States. God exalts those who are humble and humbles those who exalt themselves. The U.S. is very close to being humbled!
The fact that you are allowed to go around asking this is all the proof you need that Cuba isn’t an authoritarian dictatorship
This is what they wanted back in the sixties my wife is Cuban came in the sixties we have been together since 72 married in 78 but yet she still thinks she will be going back I tell her to stop dreaming
i love this video.......and i love cuba but im from the usa.....
Esto explica el por que el Puerto Riqueno hase mejor.. we love are people any where they are.
Interesting, but I much prefer the travel videos you've been making. Your style is very beautiful and unique. There are many other travel channels on CZcams that I love, but NO ONE makes travel videos like you do. I honestly don't mind these kinds of videos just as long as you don't stray away from what you've been doing. Remember: You don't have any competitors on CZcams because no one else can do what you do.
I liked the video very much but I agree with you. There is another CZcamsr from Canada who used to make some of my favorite Mexico travel videos. Now he just goes around the world asking people how many languages they speak. Maybe some people enjoy that kind of stuff and that's fine, to each their own. But I unsubscribed.
@@PertinaxMaximus I know who you're talking about. I don't watch him anymore, either.
Weel done!
Good people. The dude with the raspy voice has some good points.
IMPERIO O MUERTE CONQUISTAREMOS !!!
PATRIA o LO QUE SEA.... AL FINAL TODOS LOS CUBABNOS CON ACCESO AL INTERNET SOMOS DESPATRIADOS
All of them answered with respect and facts for both the Cuban people and Americans ❤🤍💙❤️💯🇨🇺VIVA CUBA VIVA LA REVOLUCIÓN 🇨🇺😉
Para cuando Brasil?
Like their going to tell you the truth where the govt can see it
Good video of opinions! Leaving Cuba doesn't seem as difficult as it used to be. It's good that many Cubans aren't flooding our borders like the central Americans are right now. I mean it's a real problem!
Your country goes around the world messing with other countries and the migration is what you get...In short, "They are there, because you were there"
You are very dumb.
Sorry I live part time in Cuba and most of them want to go live there, so wrong.
Exactly.
i have find out most cuban girls are beautiful and calm i wish i could have the one to be marry
ya los cubanos estan en todos los estados unidos!!!!hablan sin saber!!!!!
I would like to know how they feel about Canadians. After all we are the two countries that were attacked by the United States and successfully drove them back
America was never serious about taking over Canada, but they did successfully spread their culture there, to the point Canada has become USA JR. Canada's economy is in their mercy. While the USA drove Spain out of Cuba and didn't annex it, willingly. The conflict during the cold was halted back by the US. But they did find other ways to punish them. Just look at how their condition has become nowadays. just this year alone, 40k Cubans refugees arrived at USA shores.
You mean Canada attacked the USA lol.... Also Canada is literally at USA's mercy.
The first person to speak looks nice.
I hope to one day be able to visit Cuba as an American. Cubans are resilient and kind considering the unjust blockade and sanctions the u.s. government has imposed on them for decades. I agree with the older gentleman who has been to the u.s., there are a lot of issues with racism , corruption, and poverty that most people overseas aren't aware of. It is all about consumption here and the "American dream" is fleeting. Its no wonder a lot of us Americans now are fleeing abroad. ¡Viva la Cuba!
No blockade, only communists
@@corredor305 gusano

Drugs are cheaper
Be more specific! Medical treatments are less expencive. Do illegal DRUGS IN Cuba and you will be in prison for a very long time. @@camilomilfuegos7164
Interesting vid. And I'll admit that the USA govt is a POS govt and what they did to Cuba with the embargo. But... The ppl in this video acting like the Cuban govt is squeaky clean. Heck they probably arent allowed to criticize the Cuban govt in public. More importantly i met many Cubans who would move to the USA at the drop. So the whole "Americans think they are the best" is moot.
Almost all the fashion and music that emerges in Miami is immediately copied in Cuba, people in Cuba are more aware of all the blogs and youtubers in Miami than those in Cuba, in fact almost everything they hear about sports and The great Cuban baseball figures who are in teams outside of Cuba, in the Major Leagues, are fanatically listened to by sports channels of Cuban CZcamsrs from Miami, Otaola is more important to Cubans than this Humberto López from the "menticiero" (so they call him los cubanos ahora) of Cuban TV, not for nothing when there is a focus of protests in Cuba, the Castro tyranny with fear resorts to disconnecting the internet in the country.
The skinny gentleman with the light green shirt talks about life in U.S. being over rated. Lots of material things missing in Cuba but there's much less crime and violence, particularly when it comes to guns being used by crazy people. He speaks of widespread discrimination against latinos in the U.S . Says he lived in the U.S. 20 years and now prefers Cuba. About 3 million Cubans are now living outside of Cuba. That is about 1/4 the total number of Cubans in the world. Any country that looses 25 percent of its population has to wonder what they are doing wrong. There's two sides and each has valid points.
To be fair, I don’t think they are allowed to say their true opinions, because there is no freedom of speech whatsoever in Cuba
@@Ryguy-lg2xzyou are very correct

I have Hispanic heritage my ancestors were from south America but me Im American cos I was born in America I don't know about people who go to America for immigration

SI ALGUIEN SE PREGUNTABA POR Q LOS CUBANOS VIVEN EN UNA LETRINA ....AQUI TIENEN LA RESPUESTA MAS CLARA Y GRAFICA Q PUEDA EXISTIR....🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴
If you don't mind no free speech and not having much of anything then it is fine.
No creo q saben lo q dicen.viven engañados. Nunca han salido de cuba o no tienen internet
You have never been to Cuba. Speak of what you know. Enough with the ignorance...!!!
Abajo el malvado Imperialismo yanqui !!!
saludos desde Miami !!
Mali ang sabi mo,mabuti pa ang Yankee imperialism or USA ay nagbibigay pa ng human right sa lahat ng mga mamamayang americano,may freedom of speech freedom of the press freedom of choice freedom of religion and freedom of the street,ang dapat sisihin mo,ang diktador komunista na gobyerno ng Cuba na mga abusado,at ang komunistang pulis sa Cuba na mga abusado na mambugbug ng mga raliyesta,alam mo ang rebulosyon ni fedil Castro,personal interest lang Niya na rebulosyon,pinili Niya ang komunista para maging communist dictator siya,para wala nang makapalit sa kanyang pwesto,at nagpatupad siya ng mga komunistang dictador na mga batas,,,ang mga wise na tao,mag organized SILA ng revulotion pero pansariling interest lang nila na revulotion,para maging isang komunistang diktador.anong pipiliin mo ang Yankee na may freedom or ang komunista na walang freedom...
El problema de la masiva entrada de ilegales a USA tanto de Cuba, Haiti, y Republica Dominicana se soluciona con la anexión de estos 3 lugares a USA, que puedan ser estados en la unión de USA y asi que todos los cubanos, haitianos y dominicanos por igual puedan ser #USAcitizen.
Yo no veo puertorriqueños en balsa o en chola o puertorriqueños en la Selva del Darien como inmigrantes ilegales.
El cubano no genera seguridad democrática por lo tanto el problema de Cuba no lo van arreglar ni la actual dictadura, ni un futuro gobierno democrático en Cuba siendo Cuba independiente de USA.
Tratar de arreglar a Cuba para que funcione independiente de USA es perder el tiempo miserablemente porque Cuba independiente de USA no tiene arreglo.
Wes. Please don't let this circumstance turn your experience with Christianity sour. Don't let it devalue your baptism.
What you say about the family of your ex-wife is true. I feel like you're the one who is being the Christian and they are the ones, who because of their vindictive actions, have not allowed the love of Christ Jesus to permeate their spirits, and change their hearts and thinking. They have serious growth (sanctification) to do.
You stay the course, and seek God like King Solomon for wisdom (revelation) , and He will answer if you don't stop seeking Him.
Dios te bendiga.
Interesting asking them this when they do not trust you and you are filming. People are so ignorant, you know they will go to prison if they speak poorly of the Cuban government and support the American government.
You did a pretty good job finding those very rare less than 1% pretty sights of Cuba Why not show the world the other 99% of Cuba with crumbling streets, crumbling buildings, crumbling infrastructure, crumbling humanity. Most Cubans live their whole lives in Cuba and never see these few, rare scenes that do not exist for anyone but tourists and a very few handful of privileged Cubans. I lived in Cuba and was never privileged to see these sights, it's not for the common 99% of Cubans.
stop lying, these are public spaces in Cuba. Literally city centre of Habana
@@jovanmandic1228 Facts are not lies. 99% of La Habana looks nothing like that. 99% of La Habana looks like cities bombed in WWII except never rebuilt. Our buildings are literally falling apart. Many empty lots look like they were demolished except the buildings just collapsed on their own. Injuring and killing those that were living inside. What rubble has been removed has mostly been taken away by people to try and repair their own dwellings as the authorities do little to clean up rubble from collapsed sites. You can deny the reality but that is the reality our people live in day in and day out. Those few, rare pretty sites are built for tourists and make up less than 1% of what is left standing of our cities. We wish that is what all of our cities looked like all over the country. Unfortunately, the reality is the complete opposite. That is a fact! It stands here in La Habana and in every city and every town on the Island for the world to see the misery we live in if they open their eyes and drag themselves away from the pretty beach hotels built for tourists and the privileged few in the government and military.

simple reason they will defend in this video Cuba is their country regardless how mess up it is by the dictatorship or some will just not say anything as to not anger the authorities.
