'For once use your EARS, not your mouth': Ida Bae Wells trying to out-victim Cubans because AMERICA BAD does NOT end well for her

Sam J. | 11:39 AM on February 25, 2020

Even America’s poor are the envy of other countries.

Cubans included.

So Ida Bae Wells’ claim that growing up poor in America is as bad as living in Cuba rings a teeny bit hollow.

And a whole lot stupid.

The people lecturing me on Cuba right now clearly do not know anything about what it is like to be poor and black in the richest nation in the world. You want to talk about extreme poverty? Surveillance? Incarceration? Human rights violations? Police abuse? Hunger? Let’s go.

Let us know when you build a raft out of trash to escape America because you’re just that desperate, Ida. Also, drop a line when you have to eat a pet or two so you don’t starve to death.

Your life is great compared to Cubans. For once use your ears, not your mouth.

Seriously.

This is a fantastically ignorant statement; if the US was as bad as Cuba you wouldn't even be allowed to have access to Twitter.https://t.co/W0dhIhdQeF pic.twitter.com/IQSJ83IKdW

This reminds us of people who call Trump a dictator and a tyrant. If that were the case they’d never have the opportunity to say so.

We suppose that when playing the victim is key to your agenda it’s important to somehow be the biggest victim but still.

Quite simply, you're a propaganda artist. Nothing more.

Gotta get those clicks and taps.

USA>Cuba. And scene. Sorry.

I can tell you that you have freedom & you aren’t worried about your door being knocked down by the government for worrying that you’re kids are hungry. Find out why people risk shark infested water to escape.
