Since 1962, the United States has forced pain and suffering on the people of Cuba by cutting off food, medicine and supplies, costing the tiny island nation an estimated $130 billion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithout that money, it is harder for Cuba to acquire medical equipment needed to develop its own COVID-19 vaccines and equipment for food production. This comes in spite of the country\u2019s strong medical care and history of lending doctors and nurses to disasters around the world,\u201d they continued. \u201cThe people of Cuba are being punished by the U.S. government because the country has maintained its commitment to sovereignty and self-determination. United States leaders have tried to crush this Revolution for decades. Instead of international amity, respect, and goodwill, the U.S. government has only instigated suffering for the country\u2019s 11 million people \u2013 of which 4 million are black and brown.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCuba has historically demonstrated solidarity with oppressed peoples of African descent, from protecting black revolutionaries like Assata Shakur,\u201d the group said of one of the FBI\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fbi.gov\/wanted\/wanted_terrorists\/joanne-deborah-chesimard\">most wanted<\/a> terrorists, \u201cthrough granting her asylum, to supporting black liberation struggles in Angola, Mozambique, Guinea Bissau and South Africa. Now, we look to President Biden to end the embargo, something Barack Obama called for in 2016. This embargo is a blatant human rights violation and it must come to an end.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Black Lives Matter faced intense backlash moments after posting the statement, including from the following notable figures:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/baseballcrank\/status\/1415506352265474049\">Dan McLaughlin<\/a>: \u201c\u2018Cubans\u2019 right to choose their own government\u2019 has nothing to do with the government that is subject to the embargo. Mozambique? A Marxist government that persecuted churches, plunged the country into a civil war &amp; made a third of the population refugees? That Mozambique?\u201d<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Heminator\/status\/1415507594899333121\">Mark Hemingway<\/a>: \u201cSo how much of the American establishment last year went to bat for an organization that is quite predictably defending an oppressive communist regime? Also, contra this obscene statement, the Cuban communist regime remains actively racist.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/carloslcurbelo\/status\/1415509431987720194\">Carlos Curbelo<\/a>: \u201cDeplorable this organization has chosen to stand with the oppressive dictators who have murdered and enslaved innocent Cubans of all colors since 1959. The people responsible for ALL the death and misery in Cuba are the mostly white men who @Blklivesmatter has now embraced.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GiancarloSopo\/status\/1415501675759034368\">Giancarlo Sopo<\/a>: \u201cDisgusting!
