Photography Class & 'zwarte piet'

Hey Lads & Lasses,

 

I'm sorry i haven't put a new post online in the last couple of days, i was really busy with school and my homework. So this will be an extra long post. I was born and raised in Holland, but i have always hated it here. Lately they have been talking nonstop about 'zwarte piet' (black piet). I think 'zwarte piet' is rascist. How can you find this not rascist?!?!

 

White people, colored black. With big red lips. Curly hair. It just makes me sick. It makes me think what is wrong with this country? They say 'zwarte piet' is black because of the chimney. Why are they not just a little black, like a black whipe on their face?! And why are their clothes clean, if its from the chimney? Its really sickening. It makes me sick that i believed the crap adults told me when i was young about 'zwarte piet'. (not my dad. he is anti-'zwarte piet')  Just note. i don't have anything against different races. i just find this really sickening.

Im 17 years old. and feel like im the only person of my age that understand that this is just racist.

'zwarte piet' comes from the old days. where they used black people as their slaves.

 

 

Somebody please tell me why this is not racist?!

The left 'zwarte piet' had a chain around him. To ressemble the slavery!

 

 

 

Well, enough ranting about 'zwarte piet' for now..
