#ripchavez

You ever stop and wonder why the US was so invested in making Chavez out to be a bad guy?

Venezuela was no threat to us, only to our Governments ability to continue to control us under the guise of your liberty and "democracy" under a financial state of oppressing minorities called Capitalism. We want their Oil, sure, but there was also something to be said about his efforts to have the citizens of his country living and treating each other with equality without regard for their financial status or the color of their skin.

Watching this BBC coverage of memorials in Venezuela, and it is amazing how the blacks, who are a minority in that country as well, idolized Chavez. The Venezuelans who are wealthy and have interest aligned with pimping the countries Oil to the US, are all rejoicing and feeding the Fox News and US broadcasts with stories trying to make Chavez out to be Hitler or some shit.

There was a documentary on Netflix that I watched a few years ago, where Chavez welcomed a few US students down to record and report what is never reported here, and his take on what is happening in our society, and I respected the shit out of the coverage I saw and his commitment to humanity and equality.

Im looking for a book on the president's life that I can jump into on my Nook this weekend.
