The hastag #YankeeGoHome has gone viral
Thousands of people have taken to social media in solidarity with Venezuela in the face of new U.S. threats.
The hashtag #ObamaYankeeGoHome is among the top trending topics Tuesday following U.S. President Barack Obama calling Venezuela a “threat to national security” and announcing new sanctions against Venezuelan government officials on Monday.
According to Twitter Topsy, in just 24 hours, over 80,000 tweets with the hashtag have been written.
The phrase, Yankee Go Home in Latin America is a rejection of U.S. interference in countries’ affairs, or outright invasions. The U.S. was involved in the 1973 Chilean coup, in supporting the Nicaraguan contras to overthrow Nicaragua’s Sandinista revolution, in the 2002 coup attempt in Venezuela, numerous attempts to assassinate Fidel Castro and in the Bay of Pigs invasion, supporting the 2009 coup in Honduras, ousting the national government in Panama in 1989, invading Granada, overthrowing the Guatemalan government in 1954, and much more.
Renowned Venezuelan singer Ali Primera also wrote a song called Worker Latin America, where he would sing, “The U.S. fears the revolution, the U.S. fears the chant, ‘Yankee go home’ … the workers of Latin America say,’Yankee go home.’”
Translation: If you think that Obama does favors, this is how Iraq was after Yankee “freedom.”
Translation: Obama is bothered by the fact that Latin America is an area of peace, he doesn’t understand that the time of imperialism in Venezuela is over.
Translation: Is this what you’re scared of Obama?
The text in the photo reads: Respect Venezuela
Translation: Organized and alert community in light of the attacks by Obama – Los Curos Internet center
Translation: What would happen if Obama was just another Black man in Ferguson?
