AMSTERDAM - Anti-racism campaigners planned protests in cities across the Netherlands on Saturday as Dutch children anticipated the annual arrival of St. Nicholas and a blackface character who traditionally accompanies him.

Campaigners against racism say exposure to such imagery is hurtful to black people and damaging to children. But a shrinking majority of Dutch people say there is no reason to change a holiday tradition they consider to be harmless fun. The “Kick Out Black Pete” movement canceled several events throughout the country after the incident, but were still set to stage protests in six cities, including The Hague and Groningen, on Saturday.

How long have the Netherlands been around?

Oh shit...tradition and culture, clashing with the standards of today...how awkward

Yes, I quite agree with you😀

All while we have turned those silly clown faces of yore into symbols of evil.

🤦🏽‍♂️

Why is this still a thing?

Of course! The long history of white malevolence to black people must go on.

Mostly organised by militant left winged or anarchist people!

Het is Nederlands en België kinderfeest

Pete Buttigieg makes big South Carolina ad buy as campaign seeks elusive black supportDemocratic presidential contender Pete Buttigieg is planning a hefty new ad campaign in South Carolina as his campaign seeks to build up support among black voters, who have so far been skeptical of the young mayor. You meant Zuckerberg made an ad buy, right? The candidate of the Military Industrial Complex. Need someone with a backbone. It’s not him. The fact that the media keeps trying to pin the homophobia label on the entire African-American community is not going to help him. AAs could care less about Buttigieg's sexuality if he is seen as able to solve problems of AAs. Problem is, his time as mayor proved he can't.
