We all need dentists, we all need doctors, we all need Carpenters, we all need electricians, we all need plumbers, we all need painters, we all need mechanics. We don't need celebrities.
Exactly correct, entertainers are not essential workers in any way. A productive, wealthy society is able to easily afford supporting their story telling fiction artwork talents, or athletic and strategic abilities in Sports. In a Great Depression, not so much.
Ugh, capitalism - that system that lets you have more control of your own labor and accumulated resources. Communism - letting someone else tell you what to do, in every way.
It'd be awesome if the people who are constantly preaching about respecting people's lived experiences wouldd take five minutes to listen to the Cubans.
Thank you for your support. As a Cuban American I've been very disheartened by the lack of media coverage and that is actually one of our slogans during protests "Donde esta la prensa?" "Where is the press?" Organizers have gone as far as to tell protesters to make sure all their signs are in English so that the American media will understand what we're saying. The only reason we've made headway is because we've elected Cuban Americans into congress who are fighting for us right now. (Marco Rubio and Maria Elvira Salazar) and brave Cuban activists like Rosa Maria Paya who are making us heard inside the white house. What this is, and what this has always been, is a fight against misinformation. No one knows what's happening in Cuba not only because Cuba is cut off from the world but because it's inconvenient for Marxists to admit Cuba has failed. Thank you again for calling out ppl who claim to care about ppls struggles but will not speak out against the Cuban regime
I call it tribalism. Orwell talking about the Spanish civil war... "what impressed me then, and has impressed me ever since, is that atrocities are believed in or disbelieved in solely on grounds of political predilection. Everyone believes in the atrocities of the enemy and disbelieves in those of his own side, without ever bothering to examine the evidence. "
I applaud Kimi and her words here! A person really has to do a self-analysis about their supposed activism. If it's completely based on the supposed activism of any celebrity, then you're probably doing it wrong.
Thank you, Kimi. True. Courageous. Reminds me of a song by a Christian artist from my college days.... "You'll march if all the streets are full a two bit closet radical no time to check the end result expedience is your catapult convenience is the law you keep and your compassion's ankle deep" I don't wanna be that guy...
It's so funny you said "your uncle that you were disagreeing with because he is a "right wing" conservative...." My dad would try to discuss with my cousin (his niece) on how she could support a group that is openly Marxist over and over and all she would do was call him a "racist" for not supporting it. It got pretty nasty, she called him all kinds of names in front of all of our family and all he wanted to know is if she supported their OTHER beliefs as well. Needless to say, regarding Cuba right now, she's crickets. I feel like he should send this to her. 😁 Nothing but TRUTH!
It’s crazy how a numerous of people (majority with big platforms) who preach about social justice stay quiet about Cuba. The only celebrity who I could think of at the top of my head who has been very vocal about Cuba is Camila Cabello. But even she gets criticized for doing it.
If Cuban authorities would just make moves in the right direction like they did when they allowed cell phones and the internet. Now if they would allow freedom of the speech and press, maybe sanctions would be lifted and their lives could improve. Is any government offering them any options?
Thank you Kim, as a Cuban I really appreciate your attention to our situation. Young people are dying right now because of the Castro Comunism dictatorship regime. Patria y Vida!! 🇨🇺✌🙏
Anyone I seen that had heard about it just took the MSM view and think its due to the embargo. I think there would be alot more coverage and talk about it but celebrities and MSM dont want communism looking bad
As the daughter of a former Cuban political prisoner, thank you for posting this video. BLM's statement about Cuba was nothing short of heartbreaking. It appears they care more about ideology than Afro-Cuban lives.
Kimi, I believe you are being way too generous with your belief that the masses know what is happening in Cuba. The masses don't. Most don't even know where Cuba is located. They wait for directions on how to think and what to do.
"They wait for directions on how to think and what to do" ...Makes me wonder if this is why so many of them support communism - they will be told what to do and what to think.
Kimi.. I love you. You are thee realist and I am SO glad I came across this channel. My opinions tend to go against the "norm." Especially for a black woman and a millennial in the states. It's so refreshing to come across another who's opinions I share. Please keep sharing this knowledge so that more veils can be lifted to TRUTH 💕✌🏽💕
Thank you in the name of so many Cubans who have been murdered, repressed, massacred, taken from their homes in the middle of the night without a warrant, imprisoned and sentenced without even a lawyer in summary trials; for the simple fact of expressing themselves as you now and wanting a different life than the only one they have had for 62 long years without rights or freedoms.
The fact that you brought up the influence of celebrity involvement is important. Besides Pitbull (who is of Cuban descent) no other celebrity has spoken up about the situation in Cuba. Moreover, the demands for change in the form of uprisings does not only pertain to the island of Cuba. Venezuela and Hong Kong are also nations that are dealing with a new generation of citizens that are hungry for change. The question is if the citizens of the nations I just mentioned previously can stand up for their rights as human beings than why are we so afraid to lift up our voices to support them?
BINGO! Keep it up Kimi! Truth is compelling, which is why your subscribership will keep growing. Based on your reading list, I think you might like "Nudge" by Sunstein and Thaler. The authors' ideas on governance are contrary to my own, but I like to see how the opposition views the world.
Thank you!!!!! As a Cuban, I appreciate this video so much!! Also it’s not just black and brown who are getting brutalized, it is all Cubans who want liberty. Cubans don’t really segregate like in America, we are all Cuban.
It's also kinda an admission that America is not a bad place and socialism and communism are not as great as they sound.
Nailed it!
They NEVER sounded great....except to Sanders and AOC.
If only. Like AOC said, Cuba is only a failure because of the US. Now so many of them think they can make the US a better more successful Cuba.
Communism is the worst thing that could happen to a country, believe me if it was that great everybody was moving from USA to Venezuela
Criticizing the Cuban regime does NOT imply seeing America as "not a bad place"...
We all need dentists, we all need doctors, we all need Carpenters, we all need electricians, we all need plumbers, we all need painters, we all need mechanics.
We don't need celebrities.
Exactly correct, entertainers are not essential workers in any way. A productive, wealthy society is able to easily afford supporting their story telling fiction artwork talents, or athletic and strategic abilities in Sports. In a Great Depression, not so much.
I don't need any of those things, I just need youtube tutorials
and we dont need college kids who just graduated from a useless humanities subject
@@mst3ksanta Who is making those videos?
That is a fact
Ugh, capitalism - that system that lets you have more control of your own labor and accumulated resources.
Communism - letting someone else tell you what to do, in every way.
Capitalism where you sell your labor to rich people
not just black and brown. HUMANS.
100% Truth. you are the 1st to stand, now others will stand.
People are terrified of being cancelled for wrong-think if they dare jump the gun. 😒
yet they will promote organic this, vegan that, green this, sustainable that. None of it matters is your moral compass is broken. smfh
L I B E R T A D C U B A
Cuba Libre!
🙏💞🇨🇺☮🇺🇲
Kimi, I'm an old man, and you simply blow me away with your clarity and passion. You give me great hope.
Free Cuba! I'll share it over and over!
It'd be awesome if the people who are constantly preaching about respecting people's lived experiences wouldd take five minutes to listen to the Cubans.
Kimi, you are sensational. And you speak the truth: Listen to Cuban people! Share their claim for freedom and life!
You're a shining star of hope for your generation. Thank you.
I care and I have shared. I get crickets.
Because it’s not in Ame Rican
Same fam 😓✊🏼

Academia and Hollywood still has a lot of Castro Apologist, so critiquing Cuba is risky in those circles.
Their favorite Dictator, The King of Hollywood !
I really didn’t realise just how much young people 17-28 actually look to celebrities before saying anything about something.
We need more people like you in this world! Thank you for being such a light.
As a cuban... gracias
🇨🇺🙏🇨🇺
I call it tribalism.

Mind you celebs and others were falling over themselves to go to Cuba as soon as they could.
You nailed this topic, Double K. Thank you.
Thank you for opening my eyes about how people would rather be liked than effective
PREACH SISTER!
What I find depressing about listening to this, is that you don't have about ten times more subscribers.
Wow!! 👏🏼😃❤🇺🇸🇨🇺❤😎👍🏼
Damn you're so spot on! It really gives me hope to see you speaking so much truth and sense. Love to you, keep it up and stay strong and focused!
DAMN Kim you really called them out! Thanks for keeping it real! 💯
I applaud Kimi and her words here!
A person really has to do a self-analysis about their supposed activism. If it's completely based on the supposed activism of any celebrity, then you're probably doing it wrong.
Well said. This is just so true... and sad, and also why individualism is so important.
YUUUUP!
been talking about this FOR YEARS...lets see if this time works!
Thank you very much!!!!!!! God bless you! PATRIA Y VIDA 🇨🇺 WE WANT FREEDOM.
GIIIIRRRRRLLLLL you are soooooo on 🎯🎯🎯!!!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Oww this is ON POINT 🎯
Mic drop!!! Love you, Kimi!!! Keep it up!
As a Cuban born American I do agree with her 💯 percent . It is the TRUTH !!!
Those that she is describing ... 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Spot on! Thank you for standing up and speaking out. The fear of being cancelled is more important than supporting a righteous cause.
Yes! Thank you for this video. My husband escaped Poland in the 70s when it was still communist. We stand with the Cuban people. ❤️
Limo, I’ve watched a few of your videos over the last week and I have to say, you are bloody fantastic. Well done!
Another "spot-on" video from Kimi....
Thank you, Kimi. True. Courageous. Reminds me of a song by a Christian artist from my college days....
"You'll march if all the streets are full

OMG SEND IT TO HER. LOL!!!!
Prayers for the Decedents that are being hold Prisoners for wanting to taste Freedom! LOVE the Cuban people.
It really is all about image and nothing of the activism that is presented. And this is why the cycle will go on and on and on
I'm so proud of you.
I love this young lady! She speaks truth!
Your voice is so refreshing. You just step right up and say the truth. Thank you
It’s crazy how a numerous of people (majority with big platforms) who preach about social justice stay quiet about Cuba. The only celebrity who I could think of at the top of my head who has been very vocal about Cuba is Camila Cabello. But even she gets criticized for doing it.
Kimi you are genuinely something special among all the wallpaper on YT. Keep up the good work.
Nailed it again, Kimi ! Spine of steel & moral clarity like few others. Atta girl !

That is what is wrong with the world... Me mentality!!!! Thank you Kimi.
Being cuban myself, just have to say this gave me all the LIFEEEEE
On another note, what the heck is happening in South Africa? 🙏
You nailed it ❤️ The differences between money, fame, image, status - and what’s right
Once again young lady you've nailed it. We've turned into a younger generation that has to get permission from celebrities or sports figures
The problem is that when you share the “wrong” thing, you get shadow banned.
The most beautiful feeling would be to know that you helped free 11 million slaves

Thank you for the exhortation.
OMG I love this girl! Where you were all my live!!!
I am cuban and I thank you for speaking out is very painful to see the soul of our country being kill.
ouch !

I"m so glad I found you and this channel, Kimi. You make me feel like I'm not going crazy witnessing all this madness around us.

Mam, you hit that nail right on the head! You speak Powerful words and i greatly appreciate it
Soul justice --
You're an intelligent young lady, Kimi. Admire you using your voice.♥️🇺🇸
Scary but true...'people are waiting to be told what to think'.
This is a great video. Thank you for saying this!
Wheeeeuuu she did not hold back!! 1000% hard TRUTH
"I am tired of this..." Lol, love you closing out the video like that.
Thank you so much for standing for truth!!!!
It is so crazy! You are speaking the TRUTH!
Fire, Kimi, pure fire!! 🔥🔥🔥

So wise coming from such a young person. We need more of this on YT.
You are an amazing young women with a very wise voice!!!!
Prayed for you my sister in Christ….
I love your perspective on the world.
Preach! These people pretend they are against the machine. They wouldn’t know true activism of it hit them in the face.
Wow. This is music to my ears. Salve for the soul. Maybe we will be alright.
"You don't want to get your communist friends upset." Oh, the number of times I've felt that way myself..... (sarc) God bless you, sister.
Ms. Kimi... Thank you. I believe you are doing A LOT of good with your videos... Keep it up!
I've been on the Cuba Liberty wagon the day they marched. Chech out my fb label.
Thank you for putting this out, very enlightening.
BINGO! Keep it up Kimi! Truth is compelling, which is why your subscribership will keep growing. Based on your reading list, I think you might like "Nudge" by Sunstein and Thaler. The authors' ideas on governance are contrary to my own, but I like to see how the opposition views the world.
So true!!! You are fabulous, Kimi!
Thank you!

Louder for the People in the Back!!

This is so 100% true. to the core.
Very good. Cuban American here.
💯 correct. You should speak to all the kids at colleges .
Thank you!!!!! As a Cuban, I appreciate this video so much!! Also it’s not just black and brown who are getting brutalized, it is all Cubans who want liberty. Cubans don’t really segregate like in America, we are all Cuban.
