Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte has issued a historic apology for the Netherlands’ role in 250 years of slavery.
It comes amid a wider consideration of reparations for those affected, including efforts to return looted art.
It has been long in the making, but for many descendants, it is not enough.

The apology is stupid because the crimes were did by the ancestors and not descendants, if you apologized it’s useless cuz it’s in past and you can’t change the past.
@Epic Khan glad to see you support reparations for blacks globally which include but is not limited to apologizes 🤟
There are “brown” people that love and want white supremacy 👌
@Mr_Integrity I don’t support white supremacy all races are equal.
@Epic Khan you don’t act like it do that was a politically correct lie 🤥
@Mr_Integrity If you want to end racism just stop talking about it. Don’t make it so called white supremacy weren’t there white slaves,arabs,asian,brown there were the slaves of all kind, you don’t talk about it because I think you’re black and need sympathy.
@Epic Khan you just confirmed that you are indeed a white supremist 👍
Anyone who truly believes that we are all equal would never say stop talking about racism to make go away.
HYPOCRITE ✋
You accepted your responsibility so now you have to pay compansation and reparation because it is crime against humanity.
@patrick dayton Even the son of the Ashanti king used to live in Fort Elmina, yet you claim that we invaded them?
@CAPTAIN HOOK He did because he was paid by the same slaves masters to lie on himself and make those halfway educated Black American to feel at home because they were missed educated and inform about the true story of slavery in Africa. Many Africans leaders are still working for their masters because they are afraid to be killed those same Europeans
@CAPTAIN HOOK Do you believe in Jesus story and think he die for you? If you do it 8s meant you are following what the masses think and believe
@CAPTAIN HOOK Western education system missed educated people especially black American that AFricans sold them into slavery so when tjey go back to Africa all do and ask is why were sold not know the true story
@patrick dayton You’re so ignorant when it comes to history. No wonder that the Dutch are investing in education and raising awareness.
They are just playing lape service to the massacred and killing of millions of black people
When Arabs gonna apologize ?
Lol europigs n AmeriScums defend it with subhuman pajeets who worship white pigs lol 😆 🤣
after zionisst state is gone
For what?
Yes Israel should apologized to Palestinians ppl.
@3RTUGRULB3Y1990 when will middle East apologize for their global terrorist activities.. ISIS, Taliban and all others are not American 😅
I’m still waiting for my compensation from Rome .
They used world role and not word like crime,abuse,massacred,free labors,raped and killing of innocent black people.They are not willing to pay campansation or reparation for 300 years of genocide,free labors,abuse and rapping of black people what a mockery of admitting
I was mugged by 10 Moroccans in Amsterdam 👍
i’m glad you had time to have a conversation on where all 10 of them originally came from
They were Celebrating their World Cup Victory but the Rioters in Terrorists in Iran backed by USA are the real evil
Chat comments: damned if you do, damned if you dont
They were actually Hebrew people! Divine intervention is warranted! APTTMHYAH 🙏🏾🙏🏾
no they wuz kaangz
Lol, stop this cringe fake story
Y’all claiming to be Hebrew, Native American, Indigenous American,Greeks, Vikings, Moors, Egyptians etc. LOL you cant even pick an act. Black phenotype is suited for the tropics not the Mediterranean.
Okay, my fellow Kang.
Never will you hear any islamic nation apologizing for their atrocities.
Exactly. They just bombard America and their west but will never apologise for their terrorism and harsh regulations
or address their own hypocrisy in the fact that their the 2nd largest religion on earth that’s practiced by all races and creeds extremist commit most if not all of the terrorist attacks around the globe while they call themselves a peaceful religion and us a bunch of racists who are attacking a minority for having anything critical to say about the religion.
Lol they only enslave europigs who try to invade their countries lol 😆 😂
He or they can apologise ,but the damage is doen…Can you repaired?
What about compensation to the affected families?
What or whom will apology alone help?
@Until When
Was a normal part of warfare, to sell the captured as slaves to someone.
@Jaip
Those people invaded the Countries, don’t try to justify their corrupt ways please
@Until When
Is wrong to look at back now but it wasn’t then. Africans sold people from rival tribes to the European.
@Jaip
Time doesn’t make things right.
No mother would sell his child, stop justifying everything pls
@Until When
It’s a good thing that the world has changed
A very dutch way of torture
The people in future of America and Europe will apologize to the whole world for today’s brutality and terrorism in the world .
They already have. You should apologize for everything your ancestors did.
Lmao 😂
Not all people in europe only western europe and Russia
How about Genghis Khan? Do Mongolian need to pay repetitions to Russia and Europe? How about all the immigrants get out of the Native American America? Who’s paying for them? How about tribes invading and conquered other peoples land in the past? Rwanda genocide, who’s paying?
They atleast need to take in 100 million refugees to make it okay
😄you don’t know how small the Netherlands is and the most densly populated country in Europe, these refugees wouldn’t want to live there
Those colonial countries looted so much wealth that it could sustain their country for few more generations.
When will Africans apologize for capturing these people and selling them? The biggest perpetrators of slavery were Africans themselves.
smh, slavery is and always will be wrong. But NOBODY alive In the western world today is or has been a slave or slave owner. So instead of focusing on the sins of our ancestors how about we talk about and condemn the modern day slavery going on RIGHT NOW in countries like China, Nigeria and Iran?
Won’t get an apology from the Arab world so well done Netherlands
@Epic Khan Arab had the biggest slave trade in world history.
@zak patat because they had civilisation for longer than any other place in world history . Lets not use shady facts
@What’s goin on arabs would castrate their slaves in order not to have any descendants left. And I’m not even gonna talk about their living conditions and the way they were brought to the middle east. You can find it out by yourself. Stop minimizing these horrors.
@Giacaro the arab abuse of slaves has and always has been illegal in muslim lands, youre refferring to criminals. Europeans on the other hand were legally and culturally encouraged to be monsters, entire communities were complicit. Europeans were generational in their horrors. Banning of muslim african slaves so they couldnt communicate in arabic with other slaves and so no slave born in slavery would know their race or religion. Mass rape to control slaves, no you people are some serious sick puppies and that fact that you do this digusting whataboutery each time someone shines a light on your past shows you people havent improved. Your slave leaders have sold you out and made alot of money by accepting the fake abolition of slavery, they made the money and every white person has been left with the deep shame of having to defend their evil past
@What’s goin on Arab slavery only ended when they were forced by Western countries. You can look up footage of slave markets in Saudi Arabia on Youtube. They are as recent as the 60’s.
The fact is, Mahomets would never have given up on slavery, as it is a integral part of Eslam.
An Apology is not enough, the west must rebuild Africa
Yes the white man should come into Africa and start rebuilding that is for sure what the Africans want.
Think a bit before you comment or is your head empty?
Forever the victim and forever asking for handouts. How about first asking your African neighbors who enslaved their brothers and sisters and put them up on markets to be sold to Arabs and Europeans. And then perhaps , for once, try and build and create something of your own.
Then arabs pay first for the muslim slave trade in Africa for 1300 years?
It’s all by design to frame and destroy the white race, Dr Tony Martin and Louis Farrakhan can give you the correct awnser about who where the slave traders and slave owners.
Stupid what apology?
Did the Dutch invent slavery?
Turkey never apologized for taking millions of Europeans into slavery.
Its really about the money, not the apology
Netherland has found cheap African gas
A pointless apology! Means absolutely nothing
Not in name of the dutch people or consent . this is a one sided action of the dutch goverment.
@Mila Ari that infrastructure, as the buildings were build in the Netherlands from Dutch materials, or otherwise from the imports of neighbouring countries like Germany or France. Not Indonesia, except for maybe a few bricks here and there.
The technology, as well as the science that underlined it, were all invented by Europeans, including the Dutch themselves.
The Dutch has lots of natural resources, it has one of the largest gas reserves, it has a lot of Lead down South, it has a lot of iron in the north of the nation, and the major rivers carry several hundreds of tons of gold into the Dutch deltas each year. That these resources aren’t extracted, doesn’t mean they aren’t there.
Most of the money the Dutch made came from the Baltic trade, only in the 18th century did trade from the far-east become even a integral economic player.
Yet it was only in the late 1820s that Colonization really began (making the 3,5 century claim really bogus). Up until the 1820s, they only held a few islands and the city of Jakarta. The Dutch used trading-posts, who were actually very loved by the people and rapidly grew into economic centers for many Indonesian kingdoms, hence so many formed alliances with the Dutch. One of these trading-post grew into the city of Makassar today.
The Dutch came with Silk (produced in Holland), Porcelain (from China, after 1708 from Holland ), Ivory (from elephants and Walruses), perfumes, fur, rum, beer, guns and gunpowder, sugar (from sugerbeet grown in Holland), leather (from Dutch cows), cheese (from Holland), wine, pork (from Holland), Ambergris (from Whales near Holland), Blubber, cameline, wool, Tulips (grown in Holland), clay, amber (from the Baltics), jade and manuscripts. Only receiving spices, like nutmeg, Mace, Ginger and Vanilla for it back.
Not to mention that when the Dutch eventually started to colonize the region. They brought medicine, schools, hospitals, infrastructure, judicial systems, libraries, telephone-lines, electricity, new philosophies, new ideologies, improved irrigation, one of the most intense population booms ever witnessed on earth and the wonders of modern technology,…
Not to mention the Dutch had to force many Indonesians out of the practice of Slavery, that they had grown so accustomed too,…
So your cries are empty, the only thing the Dutch really did some terrible things was during the war of independence (1945-1949), yet, the Indonesians started playing dirty with the Bersiap, which is one of the main reasons we came, and half the country wanted to stay with Holland and broke away as Eastern-Indonesia (het Oost) for a short while.
So the Dutch were very self-sufficient, still are capable of being that and have brought more to Indonesia in terms of technology and resources then they did reverse,…
@Ashoka Fulcrum U can read international journals about where VOC money goes.. then ur ppl will agree apology is not enough. As a young Indonesian, I’m forgiving what ppl do in the past but if they forget the history I should recall l it again.
@RiNda Jade “u can read international journals about the VOC.”
Which journals? And what makes them so true?
I could refer you to any book, doesn’t make the book truth does it?
@Ashoka Fulcrum Many of it u can find it easily, as far as I know, Dutch ppl are not well-informed about colonialism and slavery, especially in school they do not mention it a lot. They tried to cover it (of course ). What I am trying to say is. U as Dutch ppl owned ur past as one nation and move on. Rather than denied it. Show the world a good attitude. 🙏🏼
It’s in name of the state not in name of you white Dutch idiots
If the Netherlands really are serious, PAY UP 💰
Sending money to countries who dont even have a slightly modern economy does nothing.
We could send €1bn to Suriname and it would result in better roads and maybe a few schools but in the long run the economy wont be able to sustain them.
Sending money doesnt work and there will be no reparations, only a €200M fund for education and awareness of the subject.
Bro africa was poor asf when the colonized it, if it was developed continent i would have be developed like japan got destroyed in ww2 but look at it now,
You should probably ask your African neighbors for money since it was them who enslaved their brothers and sisters and put them up on markets to be sold to Arabs and Europeans.
That’s never gonna happen. The world has moved on.
Silly politicians, always apologising for the mistakes of others, at least learn how did SLAVERY from Africa started.
cu† the check please respectfully
Mismanagement of tax payers money 💰.
Should give up the job .
No country needs minister like that
NOT only african, ASIAN people were also victims of slavery
Yes, primarily enslaved by other Asians and Arabs. Are we gonna ask them for reparations also?
so were europeans
@Herman Spaermannot true not primarily by Asian. Asians were enslaved by Europeans, you fool.
@Mila Ari , Provide sources please.
Apologies is not Enough!!!!!!
Yes, no apologies are ever given by Arabs for the “Arab slave trade” except for Khaddafi who actually made an apology.
dutch government literally saying, we just say it for the record and purpose of apologizing, without really feeling it and taking responsibility and repercussions.
where exactly did you read or see that?
Of course you will never accept it which is why they never should have bothered.
This is just all the smokescreen for the world economic collapse. Look this way and not that way
Apologies are made only to vindicate and exorcise ill feelings.
When will Qatar apologize for the slaves it used to build all those stadiums for the World Cup? The Africans sold the slaves, Europeans were slaves too, don’t they also deserve an apology?
idiot, do you even go to school?
We forgive but will never forget
Never forget but don’t use that excuses for what is happening right now.
apology does not mean anything pay reparations.
It was a long time ago. You should pay reparations as well by your logic
@Cat ThunderChad do you know how money and generational wealth work. Do you think the land that was taking from black people disappeared?
@M D They never had any land in North America. It was in Africa. Take it out with them.
Apology without compensation means nothing.
Yes free money I want money!!!!!
at least they acknowledge it and not practicing it anymore when will the arabs apologize and stop enslaving the africans calling them kaffir, they even have an app where they can buy african slaves
Another spineless European leader
They apologize because they need to come back to Africa again just interest they wipp never accept other races
Africans kidnapped & sold people from neighboring tribes and even from within their own tribes,should an apology & reparations from Africans be appropriate too?
As a descendant… these are apologies without meaning
Dutch government wanted to apologise, just by themselves
Dutch government set the date for apologies, just by themselves
Dutch government doesnt care if the apologies are accepted or not
Its like, someone did something bad to you. After that, the person says: I come to apologise to you at 1600h this afternoon and after that, I do not want to talk about it anymore
I’m not happy about the way they planned the date for this apology. And it’s up to those that recieve them to decide whether they accept the apologies or think them meaningfull.
But this is not the end of the commitment of the Dutch government in this. They are setting aside 200 million for eduction about the slave trade and are going to finance memorials every year and a new slavery museum. The king will attend the end of slavery next year as well (and one hopes: apologise)
It’s simply not true that they want to stop talking about this anymore.
People really need to play victim hood for how long
top top top
On day America will also apologize for 9/11 and making terrorism and islamophobia
Words are cheap and don’t cost anything.
Let every criminal apologise and get free of charge 🤣
After countless suffering to slavery which still today affects their offsprings, you apologise. Typical westerns, but there is a hereafter which thos who did slavery which the get suitable punishment and you will not be held accountable for your ancestor’s deeds.
So what do you want? A time machine?
@mudshovel289 no, i don’t need time machines neither this apology
Riots broke out in various French cities after French lost the final World Cup 2022 football. Earlier, Belgium lost to Morocco. A riot broke out there too. This shows that Europe is now a third world country. Europe is not the Europe it used to be. The current generation does not have the mindset to accept sports as sports. So what is humanity, what is democracy, what is peace. If one of these people becomes the head of state of the country, it can be said with certainty that the country will be taken over by extremists. Radicalism is emerging in Europe. Which is a big threat to the world. This extremism will destroy Europe. It will take you far back so accept the game as a game. See everything from a human point of view. Be a peace lover and encourage others to be peace lovers
Save it. You are not serious.
Whoa! I’m sober right now… 🤣I really don’t think that this apology will heal the pain of so many people, but it’s a start.
You can’t heal the pain only by few words, it needs sacrifices but not from your old blood
IGNORANCE is BLISSFUL or laughing stocks of the world’s slavery to child slavery labourers to recolonized f again
instead of apology make every country currency equal…
Poor QATAR’S or MORROCANS player’s mums & intelligence monkeys again IGNORANCE barking INFIDELS &, islamophobic radicalised led terrorism act to recolonized f Marches on slavery to child slavery labourers too.. endless human rights abusers f too
I bet they won’t apologize for islamophobia
Exactly f apologise all jailed please what goes round COMES around baby’s or SECOND COMING.. endless dance cheers celebrate etc and JUSTICES begin or finally..
I’m waiting for the U.S. CONGRESS AND British PARLIAMENT FOR AN APOLOGY .
Uh didn’t the USA apologize for this long ago? And the British used their navy to end the slave trade
There should be apologies from politicians pushing covid 19 stupid vaccine mandates God bless fossil fuel ⛽
The Dutch are the force behind racism throughout the world eg. South Africa boa war, EU anti non white etc. sorry means nothing when it is still relevant in 2022.
Then they shouldn’t have even done it. They should have just laughed at people like you.
Sad Brother and sister javanese in Suriname
Only now!!! Motherf******s. You have to help all people from your former colonies. They suffered a lot. I live in the Netherlands and I love all the nations, living here
Said indonesia Independence day is August 17 1945, Mr. Rutter
1949😁😁😁
The only way out for the Western Europeans as they are now facing God’s judgment for their wickedness is genuine repentance and asking for forgiveness from the children of those whom they have done so much wrong things to till date.
Rather than spend their time and recourses fighting Russia to whom God has already them into the Russian’s hands and given that God has remembered the wickedness of their fathers, the ball is in their court.
I think if the Netherlands has to pay for everything, they will become poor, which is why you see how the Dutch respond in the chat
Reparations is next !
Will Turkey pay reparations for enslaving millions of Europeans?
Turks are proud of ottoman atrocities and crimes against humanity
@Don Babilio Sure, focus your effort in getting the Turks to issue an official apology first.
Sorry, I knew all of human history is disgusting, but did I see a modern 21st century city with Black Faces? I guess that’s why the apology is relevant
Apologize to Whom?
They are Long Dead…
Actions speak louder than words. Help the countries you looted develop and all will be forgiven.
I’m from Indonesia, a former Dutch colony called Dutch East Indies. The Netherlands has apologized to us many times. Paid some reparations for one of their last, and perhaps most horrible, atrocities (because it was the only atrocity they did where the families of the victims were still alive). We told them, cool, let’s do more business.
We’ve done a lot of businesses together and we’ve also intermarried for hundreds of years. One day, perhaps, our relationship will be like that of the US-UK.
We’re Asians. We’re pragmatic that way.
@Dmitry II lol
@Dmitry II lmao, Indonesia isn’t suffering due to Colonialism.
Its suffering due to, for the most part, its own incompetence or corruption.
An economy isn’t a zero-sum game, meaning that if one land is getting richer the other is getting poorer. Its literally creatable with hard work. Wealth is created not a product of exploitation.
Only did Indonesia try to mobilize its population for Industrialisation? Did it aid in de development of Farmlands? Did it try to protect its citizens rights? Especially workers rights?
That is where Indonesia truely failed or succeeded. Not European imperialism.
European imperialism brought even technologies and political measures to build up an economy quicker. It also extracted a lot of resources, yet a lot aren’t extracted today,… Also, how many plantations do you think were closed down, instead of being taken over, by a commune or a privateer?
Wealth is dependent on the economy, and an economy is shaped by production, resource-extraction and trade, meaning that if Indonesia is poor or economically lacking, it comes because it isn’t adequately exploiting its resources, doesn’t have a functioning production going, or is very limited in goods it can trade.
So f off with “muh Colonialism.” Because it has *nothing* to do with the state that Indonesia is in, other then that the Indonesians abandoned all the good things “Colonialism” brought.
So in conclusion, her not accepting the apology means nothing. She doesn’t know how incompetent or corrupt her country is, but expects handouts from her former Colonizer? Lmao, gtfo,…
@Ashoka Fulcrum you clearly have no idea about cause and effects. I’ve never talked about indonesia specifically, but it is a good example. Indonesia has it’s independence less than 100 years ago after 300 years of exploitation and slavery. An economy doesn’t just recover, and the populace doesn’t just immediately become educated in an instant to contribute to the economy and trade.
Your next paragraph is a complete contradiction. First off, the lack of education to the people outside of those within the nobility circle due to colonialism contribute greatly to the issue of industrialization. Mobilizing citizens for industrialization means cutting workers rights through long work hours and small pay. This will quickly boost the industrial capacity but cut down on workers rights. Then you are talking about having workers rights where it will contribute to whether they will succeed or not. Seriously?
“European imperialism brought even technology and political measures to build up an economy quicker” i can tell you that the technology they brought in is an equipment, not the technological knowledge on its production. And the political measures they brought, is to build up on exploitation. I studied indonesian history, I don’t rely on anecdotal evidence of the romans. Ever heard of “Rodi” which is a dutch violent form of exploitation and forced labor to create plantations? Which later followed by the japanese “Romusha” which is an even crueler form of forced labor that leads to starvation? You then talk about resources extraction. Where do you think the resources are going? To the exploiters of course. Local people get nothing.
You are quoting a textbook definition of economy which is correct but oversimplified. Again, this takes time to develop, it doesn’t happen overnight. Indonesia is a fast growing economy, but compared to europe colonizers, it didn’t have a head start because like i said, they are only getting independence less than 100 years ago.
After all the barebone explanation that does not consider all angles and bringing up some basic economic principles, you are directly saying that the colonialization does not contribute to today’s economic woes. Despite the evidence on the ground on how many former colonies are to this day facing economic and social challenges after getting their borders split up and put historically incompatible groups of people within the same border, you have the guts to simply denounce all of that. Seriously, you are in no position to do so. Corruption happens in every nation, especially the US where lobbying is legal, but it is a global economic power. So your corruption argument has no merits.
James Robinson, who is more qualified than me but most certainly more qualified than you, wrote an article on cepr titled “the economic impact of colonialism”, which is a much more credible source than you, who barely had any idea about colonialism.
@Ashoka Fulcrum come here to Indonesia to be my slave so you can reform
Well I am Indonesian. Our countries 3.5 centuries under VOC then Dutch government. My grands had been fought against them, and yes we’d been asking Dutch government an apology, but their queen was never accept our independence. Until recently they admit and apologized towards us. But I found some statement from ex soldier of Dutch that based in Maluku city said he embarrassed to government for apologizing to us and he refer government had betrayed them. Never once he mentioned about regrets what they took, stole and did to us. Our ppl also been taken and send to several countries for slavery in South Africa and Suriname. For this apology, only God can see their inside heart true sincererity of this event.
We’re Indonesians bro. We say ok, let’s do business now. Stop looking at the past. You want to pay reparations for Timor Leste or you wanna do business with them?
@Eyou are not Indonesian, Indonesian will never support this. timor leste was occupied by Portugist, and its decendants, their decendants create story by saying Indonesian army attack them when what Indonesian army did on 1970ish was to get rid of portugist. And we did. My dad was in that war. Portugist is not a native race of Nusantara. You can deny whatever you want but thats the truth. Australia was big role of seperation Timor leste- Indonesia because its Oil. Australia got most benefit current finding of oil but Timor still poor. Currently Australia do same supporting OPM cz they aiming Papua natural resources. Decentralized country and take their natural resources for very low price is what these ppl want.
This is a very empty apology. If the Dutch govt were absolutely sincere then they should pay compensations and return all the regalias/treasures/manuscripts they loot during that time back to the rightful owners in their former Dutch East Indies colony.
The Dutch government is in the process of returning looted art works during colonialism. That has been the policy for some time.
i’ts apology for WIC grop. not VOC
lets be CLEAR!!!! the EUEOPEAN COUNTRIES with their beautiful buildings, cleared land, business development and riches came from COLONIZING!!
the MAIN EU countries ALL DID IT!!!!! it was a trend back then for them.. The DUTCH, BELGUIM, ITALY, SPAIN, GERMANY, FRANCE, UK, SPAIN, PORTUGAL,
etc etc.. they all MADE TRILLIONS in todays dollars from it..
and these countries are rich now… but will they pay back? OF COURSE NOT!!!!
Okay no where’s the reparations?
Develop all rooted countries…
Now apologise for helping and financing the racist apartheid israhell. Dont wait until racist zionist terrorist regime ends before you apologise
thanks to gianni infantinos speech before wc qatar🙄
I will believe them if they will apologize for neo colonialism
It is about time they apologize the horrendous crimes they commited on innocent people. They should now return all the stolen wealth too .
Still no apology for 350 years colonizing Indonesia.
you stupid like pig
Meaningless words 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏾
Made a fortune out of slavery. Now those colonists need to compensate. Talks are cheap.
At least Dutch recognise it..
Not from Anglo-Saxon still denials and stole a lots and put on museum.
Or Japs that denials they want colonize Asia continent…
Shameless people
What can oppressed benifit from this apology words?
Nothing!!
Either Shift all the people to Europe who you ruled back in the centuries or build the countries which Europe invaded.
The Arabs enslaved twice as many Africans yet they don’t need to apologise
Ya but they are not about to find themselves a minority in their own countries.
Yes, 1st make slave and then degrade them and then finally after 500 years apologize. It’s super easy. I have now the secret formula to colonize and become filthy rich businessman and politician.
Too little,too late..Also Educate your people for the wrongs you have done to Humanity either by occupation n oppression or in the name of trade interests like Dutch East India company n many more.
We don’t want any excuses we will revnge when ever it may be
Finally
PM Rutte Belanda menyatakan : minta ma’af gak bawa nama negara Indonesia 🇮🇩 Pasti ada mau nya nih 🙂
Saya warga negara Indonesia, menyatakan Perminta’an Ma’af pak Rutte diterima
From Indonesia 🇮🇩
Gotta ask what’s Netherland’s angle here, what’s their goal?
Fake Apology.
Talk is cheap, where is the money?
Are they still doing the ” old style Santa shows”With schwarze pete ( santas helpers are ” black faced) ?
Nope, we don’t have Sinterklaas with zwarte pieten anymore. It’s roetveeg Piet now. (Basically the black stuff you get on your face when you use an old chimney as entrance to a house). I can see why the people who were effected by this gone tradition about zwarte Piet did not like it at all. And so I am glad this has changed now.
The Netherlands is at least trying making beginners steps at ‘redeeming’ itself and I hope we have a future without racism or any out of slavery born practises ahead of us here.
(Also preferably politics without Geert or Thierry if you’d ask me)
@GenericLoZfan Thank you so very much, for taking time to answer and explain. I really appreciate it ! ; )
Why is it taking so long
Western countries were bandits and occupiers. They harrassed and oppressed people’s.
INDONESIA 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Foolish is he who becomes surety,
who pledges for his neighbor.
Sorry… Mi wani taki pardon…
…i can smell Surinam petroleum…
Haha just look at the audience taking it like it is normal daily business
When will the Americans apologize for what they did to the Japanese people to the Iraqi people to the Afghan people to the Vietnamese people and more
When will the Americans apologize for what they did to the Japanese people to the Iraqi people to the Afghan people to the Vietnamese people and more?
Good start! Now the Netherlands must pay reparations to the peoples of Indonesia, South Africa, India, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Brazil, Benin, Togo, Ghana, Japan, Bangladesh, Papua New Guinea, Angola, Guyana, Suriname, Guiana, North American Indians. Please pay reparations with interest .
The United States has already named the Netherlands as the number one thief nation.
The most embarrassing nation netherlands in the world.
Parents and children are teacher .. all brazen people in country town.
Rutte should arrest the white racist criminal dutch.
