Is Danny Glover Selectively Color-Blind?

Last week, actor Danny Glover was back in Havana to visit his old friends, Cuban dictators Fidel and Raul Castro, and to attend the opening session of an official workshop entitled, "Cuba and the Afro-Descendant Peoples of the Americas."

Take a close look at the following picture from the workshop.


What's glaringly missing?

Obviously, any Afro-Cubans.

The only person of Afro-descent in the picture is Danny Glover.

Rather than hanging out with Cuba's elitist dictators, who don't allow Afro-Cubans in positions of power (despite their being a majority of the population), Glover should have instead visited with the island's courageous pro-democracy leaders.

They are mostly Afro-Cuban.

Former political prisoners like Dr. Oscar Elias Biscet, Guillermo Farinas, Jorge Luis Garcia Perez "Antunez" (pictured below) and Angel Moya.

Or women like Yaimara Reyes Mesa, Yris Tamara Perez Aguilera and Donaida Perez Paseiro -- who conduct marches and sit-ins for the rights and freedoms of all Cubans.

Unless, of course, Glover is selectively color-blind.
