Former Cuban president Fidel Castro's bold comments toward US
presidential hopeful Barack Obama is causing much controversy across
the country.

Castro wrote in a commentary that appeared on the website
Cubadebate on Saturday, "Profound racism exists in the United States,"
as he weighed in on the US presidential race ahead of the November 4
election.

"Millions of whites cannot reconcile in their minds with the idea that
a black man with his wife and children would move into the White House,
which is called just like that -- White," he wrote.

He added that it was a "pure miracle" the Illinois senator, who became
the first black politician to win the Democratic Party's presidential
nomination, had not been assassinated thus far.

The ailing Cuban communist leader, who handed power to his brother Raul
earlier this year, described Obama as a politician who "has the habit
of looking at his opponent with serenity and laughing at his rhetorical
attacks."

Castro's comments came as a war of words with racial undertones marked
the US White House race after civil rights icon John Lewis accused
Republican candidate John McCain of sowing "hatred" against Obama, who
is developing a commanding lead in opinion polls.

Castro also mocked McCain's poor grades at the naval academy and said
Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin "knew nothing at all
about anything."
