So what exactly is the Cuban-American narrative of injustice? Comparing Fidel Castro to Adolph Hitler as a linchpin in the narrative is an insult.
If there is a Cuban-American narrative of injustice it is a misnomer. Cuban-Americans laying claim to injustice at the hands of Fidel Castro is akin to the U.S. Army chiding the Sioux Nation for ambushing and slaughtering General Custer.
Cuba-Americans and their history is simply one of coming up short on the wrong side of a struggle which Fidel Castro won fair and square. Cuban-Americans have no more or less a claim to Cuba than the Communist Party led Socialist status quo currently having it's day in the Cuban sun.
We close with: The Cuban-American narrative of injustice is the classic seething of the vanquished after a settlement of accounts and the Human Condition is a continuum of settling accounts.
