Castro: Racism in US keeps many away from Obama

Fidel Castro says a 'profound racism' in the United States will stop millions from voting for Barack Obama in next month's presidential election.

The ailing, 82-year-old former Cuban president says it is 'a miracle that the Democratic candidate hasn't suffered the same luck as (assassinated leaders) Martin Luther King, Malcolm X and others who harbored dreams of equality and justice.'

Castro's written comments were published by state media Saturday. In them, he insists a 'profound racism' exists in the U.S. and that millions of whites 'cannot reconcile themselves to the idea that a black person ... could occupy the White House, which is called just that: white.'
