Castro: Racism in US keeps many away from Obama
Oct 11, 11:37 PM (ET)

HAVANA (AP) — Fidel Castro says a "profound racism" in the United
States will stop millions from voting for Barack Obama in next month's
presidential election.

The ailing, 82-year-old former Cuban president says it is "a miracle
that the Democratic candidate hasn't suffered the same luck as
(assassinated leaders) Martin Luther King, Malcolm X and others who
harbored dreams of equality and justice."

Castro's written comments were published by state media Saturday. In
them, he insists a "profound racism" exists in the U.S. and that
millions of whites "cannot reconcile themselves to the idea that a
black person . . . could occupy the White House, which is called just
that: white."

Castro also described Republican presidential candidate John McCain as
"bellicose."
