Fidel Castro: What Cuba Has Offered the People of the Gulf Coast

Fidel Castro: What Cuba Has Offered the People of the Gulf Coast: "We are hopeful, seeing that today another change took place, as the Secretary of State herself said that they would accept any help. This means that they'd even accept help from the Martians if it was offered; but they haven't. A little island on this planet, that's only a few minutes away from that place has offered to help, and it has a moral right to discuss the possibility of sending doctors over, it is something that is now acknowledged by the world.

What we want is not to criticize, not to put the U.S. government in an awkward situation. We are aware that the authorities are going through a difficult time, the target of harsh criticism. We aren't the type of politician ­we'll call ourselves politicians, in case the word revolutionary scares anyone­ who opportunistically takes advantage of certain situations to deal a blow to an adversary. I want to make that clear, because this is the real spirit of cooperation.

Once again I shall say that this is not the first time. We have absolutely no interest in confronting the United States or their government in any way, shape or form, I've already said it, I say: 'Let's call a ceasefire'. And we are not asking for anything, and we'll foot the bill for all the medication and the transport and everything."

Fidel Castro, more of a friend to black people in the US than their own god damned government. Let the record note!
