Slavery never defined the condition of black Americans.” This was one of the first affirmations made by Robert Woodson in this magnificent interview for El American. A veteran of the civil rights movement, lecturer, author and founding director of the Woodson Center and the “1776 Unites” initiative, Woodson has been on a mission to rescue and redeem the rich tradition of blacks in the United States. The left has made this an uphill battle for him and other conservative black Americans.
Recognizing the systemic danger and perverse nature of Marxist Critical Race Theory and The New York Times’ “1619 Project”, Woodson concretely establishes that 1776 is America’s true birth year.
This was the underlying premise of gathering over twenty-five black American scholars in the “1776 Unites” to establish that, as he called it, America’s “birth defect of slavery”, did not condemn blacks to failure. Totally the contrary. “When whites were at their worst,” contends Woodson, “blacks were at their best”. This statement is supported by extensive empirical evidence that demonstrates that black history between 1865 and 1965 enjoyed a rich tradition of achievements, precisely in the face of discrimination.

5 Things the United States Must Know About the Cuban Uprising.
The Cuban people’s rise against the sixty-two-year-old communist dictatorship is epic and without precedent. Hundreds have disappeared. Some have already been handed down severe prison sentences in truly socialist kangaroo courts. Crimes against humanity, an established international legal standard and categorization, are being blatantly committed as part of the Castro regime’s brutal crackdown. America, a country synonymous with universal values, is historically entangled with Cuba and separated by 90 miles of water. Here are five things the United States must know about the Cuban Uprising and Cuba.
1- Cuba does not have a remittance problem.
Cuba does not have a remittance problem. Cuban communism, on the other hand, does have a remittance problem. It needs the 74% it pockets from every dollar sent. Cuba’s problem is the absence of freedom. This is the reason thousands of unarmed, unmasked, Cubans took to the streets on July 11th across nearly fifty localities across the Island, demanding their natural right to be free. By telling the tyrants in power, in public spaces and without reservation “Down with Communism,” “Down with the Dictatorship,” “Freedom,” they knew full well that the price would be atrocious. The Cuban Uprising that began that Sunday, is the continuation of a long liberation struggle that, while varying in tactical methodology, began on January 1st, 1959.

The Cuban Uprising of 2021 caught many by surprise. The Castro-Communist government demonstrated relevant systemic-control vulnerabilities. It was off guard and unprepared for the brilliance of spontaneity. Understanding full well the deep implications that this crack has on the communist regime’s struggle for survivorship, a mammoth disinformation campaign has been launched. In this onslaught of falsehoods designed for dictatorial preservation purposes, there are 5 things that the Cuban people must know.
1. Freedom is a Natural Right
Everyone is born with the Natural Right of being free. It is not a state handout or a conventional scheme. It is preeminent. The principal responsibility of a government is to safeguard a citizen’s liberty and do what it must to keep a society free. Consequently, when a regime interferes with Natural Law and suppresses your freedom, it is tyrannical. Human dignity requires that one be free. The cost may be high, but the alternative is unacceptable.
2. The United States embargo is not the reason for your misery

El American had the opportunity to interview, again, former contractor for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) Ron Aledo. The service as a United States Army veteran stationed in Afghanistan, as well as a senior intelligence advisor to the Afghan National Police, places him in an optimal position to render a close, firsthand appreciation of the impact that the United States troops’ withdrawal from that country will have.
When asked if, in his professional opinion, the decision to, in fact, leave the Afghanistan government to its own fate is a mistake, Aledo in a quick and unhesitant fashion answered in the affirmative. While his answer draws upon various focal points of analysis, geopolitical considerations weigh heavily on the conclusion that it is not in the best interest of America, nor of the free world, to completely vacate Afghanistan.
