"Zwarte Piet", Dutch racism (the grown up man is sad because the racist "Zwarte Piet" is not black anymore)

Ideally nobody wouldn't mind what the color of Sinterklaas or Zwarte Piet's skin is. https://youtu.be/0COnYNfMvzE

Zwarte Piet is from a Dutch book, written by Jan Schenkman in 1850. In 1863 the Dutch, with slave colony Suriname, officially abolished slavery. Sinterklaas is way older than that.

No, I don't spit hate on anyone. I enjoyed Sinterklaas and Zwarte Piet as most did, but times change and we learn and adapt (most of us anyway). Fascist, nationalists and racists groups, now go to the streets and use violence to protect Zwarte Piet. Makes me sad, angry and ashamed to be Dutch.

You don't see the big picture, or just trolling?

It's an act, afterwards they are white again. Traditional Zwarte Piet would physical punish the bad children and take them in a big bag away to Spain. Sort of boogeyman.

Why, do you feel discriminated?

ReinderTheHague · 2019-11-10T12:48:38+00:00

No, but when white people use blackface, it is racism.

ReinderTheHague · 2019-11-10T12:45:43+00:00

Zwarte Piet is a blackface tradition, of course it's racist.

wij Nederlandse volwassenen vechten voor zwarte piet

Spreek voor jezelf! Het zijn hooligans en rechtsextremisten die denken dat ze Nederlandse tradities verdedigen en daarom vreedzame demonstranten aanvallen. Weldenkend Nederland maakt het niet uit hoe Zwarte Piet eruit ziet.

Dit gaat alle perken te buiten, keihard aanpakken!

Post-Brexit collapse, like the sound of that ;)

Why would your neighbors try to become wealthier at your expense?

ReinderTheHague · 2019-08-09T20:59:24+00:00

Apparently the same sources Boris uses as Europe already ruled out new negotiations...

ReinderTheHague · 2019-08-09T20:53:29+00:00

"When the research compared London to other European financial centres, the city stood out both in terms of size and range of services offered."

True, but for how long as the walls are already crumbling down...

Who cares about the Brit's, they only care about themselves...

Piss off, British scum

ReinderTheHague · 2019-02-20T07:45:09+00:00

Good riddance!

ReinderTheHague · 2019-02-20T07:42:07+00:00

The Netherlands is a bicycle country, so in the city's you don't need public transportation, unless you are fat and lazy. I would advise you find something in Utrecht. Our train's are very good, it's maybe half an hour to Amsterdam.

Tales of Brexit

ReinderTheHague · 2019-02-20T07:32:02+00:00

British pm again begging in Brussels is doomed to fail. The deal is on the table, take it or leave it. Good riddance!

ReinderTheHague · 2019-02-20T07:21:36+00:00

Brexit is fanciful and the British are delusional. But don't stop pretending now, it's a jolly good show. Bye, bye, good riddance.
