Randall Robinson, the TransAfrica's president, said "American policies, 40 years in application, have hurt ordinary men, woman, and children in Cuba, and AfroCubans particularly, and it's simply unacceptable." He thinks that the trade ban will end soon and that once it has, Cubans will need help adjusting to new realities. For example, he worries that as capitalism enters the Cuban economy, AfroCubans won't get their fair share of opportunities: "Already there is discrimination in the selection of people for some jobs, but I don't think there's any question that the Cuban government opposes practices of this kind.
