In 1973, Fidel Castro, who was then the Communist President of Revolutionary Cuba said

"The US will come and talk to us when they have a black president and the world has a Latin American Pope".

I don't necessarily subscribe to his political viewpoint but I truly admire his clairvoyant abilities.

Fascinating but it doesn't stand up...

In an article published by The Journal Of Carlos Paz on 10 March 2015, Argentinian writer Pedro Jorge Solans claimed to have uncovered a prophetic quote spoken by Fidel Castro in 1973:

In 1973, just returned from a visit to Vietnam, Commander Fidel Castro was (speaking to international journalists). The Cold War was cold, and the journalist Bryan Davis (from) an English agency asked:

"When do you think relations between Cuba and the United States, two countries as far away despite the geographical proximity, will be restored?"

Fidel Castro stared and replied to all who were in the room:

"United States will come to talk to us when they have a black president and the world has a Latin American pope."

In fact, an article published in the Havana Times in December 2014 noted that this alleged Fidel Castro quote is a common joke in Cuba:

"Washington and Havana only resume relations "the day that the US president is black and the Argentine Pope" reads a common joke these days on the island, put into the mouth of a fictional Fidel Castro 60s and nicely summarizes the changes that have taken place in the world since then and the great political upheaval happened now."

Another way of putting it is that relations will resume when our country is on its knees and desperate for American support bail out its clusterfuck of a political system.
