in essence they gave him my job. he receives my book. which pisses me off.
There's an old Cuban folk song called "quitate tu pa poner me yo" which could translates to "get up so I can sit". Which was sang by the "guajiros" those are the peasants the poor the farmers in the country side, those that Fidel used to build his revolution. This was a very popular country song they sang cause of the injustice they suffered that you can imagine, from the patrones like Happy Boy's family, the bosses land owners that did whatever they wanted at the time. Here it is sang by the legendary Hector Lavoe and the Fania All Stars which was a group of the best of the best Caribbean salsa singers at the time, most of them died of overdose along the years.

Happy Boy is Cubano, yes.
Moldy I know you like hate stories. The funny thing with Cubans in Miami is that they hate each other. The first Cubans that came to the US in mass were the wealthy class exiliados that got everything stolen from them and were pretty much kicked out the country in the 1960s by Castro's revolution. Those Cubans were the high class and the ruling people so there was this certain arogance to them, even if most of them came to this country empty handed to start all over again.
They hate the marielitos, those are the Cubans came in the mass exodus in 1980 like we saw in Scarface, they were a good portion of the jail population, the prostitutes, the crimals, the faggots, lots of low class people. Naturally these people were thought of to be inferior and there was a lot of discrimination among the community.
As the time passed entitlement occurs and these Cubans are the one ruling Miami now with their American dream and all that bullshit, so when the balseros the rafters started coming to Miami in the 90s, these guys were lower than low, because they were worth nothing, they would risk everything in a couple pieces of wood or inflatable toy to get out of there. So the same thing repeated itself.
So now all these Cubans in Miami, sometimes second or even third generation look down upon the Cubans that just arrived mostly from the Visa lottery program yearly. All looking down upon themselves, one above the other in prestige and class in their own mind.
Some pretty funny shit.
