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

We all know that US president Barack Obama is visiting Cuba these days. Its an historic visit because its been after 88 years (after 1928) that any US president is visiting Cuba.
With other things, following quote is being shared by thousands of people on Social media websites (Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, Imgur etc).

The quote is associated with Fidel Castro.

Fidel Castro to International Press - 1973

These days
US President = Barack Obama (Black)
Pope = Pope Francis (From Argentina hence Latin American)

Does this means that Fidel Castro predicted this visit 43 year ago (In 1973)?

Before concluding this lets do little bit of research on internet about this quote.
The Research:
When we search internet for this quote we came to know that the English version of this quote started circulating in start of 2015 and Spanish version in 2014.
No evidence of this quote (English or Spanish) is seen prior to 2014, Obama became President in 2008 and the Pope Francis started his period as Pope in 2013, the person who started circulating this quote is Argentinian writer Pedro Jorge Solans.

To aid my argument I did Google search for pre-2014 period (both for English and Spanish version) and found nothing on Internet. Here are the links if you want to check yourself.

Conclusion:
Its a fake quote. Falsely related with Fidel Castro. And do not have any evidence prior to 2014.
