Dutch Santa’s Little Black Helper
A “Pete-ition” in support of Black Pete on Facebook gathered over two million likes in the matter of a few days. And according to a poll of nearly 10,000 Netherlanders, 96% said the debate shouldn’t even be occurring. It’s almost as if the entire Dutch nation has applied blackface to its posterior and is mooning the world. - - Jim Goad

Your Say
Pretty sure that the Black Community [nowadays that would be the "professional Blacks" community]will be able to cobble together some "fauxtrage" about this
Lemme go upstairs and put on my "IGAF" shoes about one more offended black Sensibility. The involvement of the Inept Blue Helmets is just icing on the cake.

Isn't the guy at the microphone the ex-con/murderer? I hope we haven't upset his sensibilities.

I should have been more specific in my last post. I meant that he looked like Charles S. Dutton. Sorry about that.

My grandmother always told me to say something nice or not at all….so here goes: "Those "black" Dutch girls are lovely."
Now I'm gonna violate her admonition. Those blacks aren't.

And while they're at it, they can lend support to that Thai commercial for chocolate Dunkin Donuts.

I enjoyed life so much more when people had a sense of fun about themselves. All this leftist grievance crap is a snooze.

"All this leftist grievance crap is a snooze."
There's a lot of money in the grievance industry.
...and most of the members of the Congressional Black Caucus don't know how to make honest money.

Those zany Dutch! Next thing you know they'll say if you don't like it there in the Netherlands you can go somewhere else!
Ummm...wait. I think I've already seen that play...how did it go again?

": "Those "black" Dutch girls are lovely.""
I think those are all guys.

The dutch girls are pretty, and even more so without blackface. Odd culture though. They used to be so conservative and now they're the worst of the crazed no-rules left being slowly taken over by Islam.

For the first time in my adult life, I'm proud of my Dutch ancestors.
