aspect that is markedly different blackface as with any person of his celebrity status
and we already know what they always be attaching these black faces with
if you pinch your face blind oh it's a racial thing blah blah blah we know that

shout out to all the dutch folks and uh yeah i know it's a weird ass thumbnail and
you clicked on it probably because you saw something looking like that and you're like
okay he's gonna react to that let's see what he's gonna say let's see what i'm gonna say
as winter approaches the netherlands excitement and anticipation hang heavy in the air this is
because in the second week of november santa claus or descent arrives in the netherlands from spain
by steamboat obviously the celebration means happy smiles for the children
and an annual racial debate for the adults how did such a joyful tradition become so controversial
the holiday celebrates saint nicholas the patron saint of children sailors and stamp collectors
to you santa claus may resemble a slightly anorexic santa claus in formal church attire no
coincidence as santa claus is simply the coca-cola company's more marketable version of sint although
christmas and santa claus bear some resemblance there is one aspect that is markedly different
blackface as with any person of his celebrity status and we already know what they always
be attaching these black faces with you pinch your face blight oh it's a
racial thing blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah we know that anyways let's get ready travels with an entourage
these are zvartapedan these jovial and mischievous chimney sweeps do most of the heavy lifting for
their elderly friend they provide the treats for the good children and the punishment for the bad
a misbehaving dutch child will not only get no gifts but pete will also shove them in a
sack beat them with a stick and drag them back to spain because the character is
pete originated during colonial times many view the practice as insensitive or racist
what those black helpers are [ __ ] are a shame really well okay others see it as an innocent
part of a childhood tradition in fact millions see it this way well my perspective is this man like i
think people are way too sensitive to certain topics and they're not open to understanding
right if if you're doing something and you're representing it with um a black face this is my
perspective if you are not trying to degrade or create um a what you'd say a place of
you are less or um i don't like you or i'm gonna mock you in a bad way type stuff then
i can understand that to being racist but if you just out there chilling and having fun what
am i supposed to say bro like everybody does that like i've seen asians mock black mock white folks
you know i've seen it i've seen all of that and i've seen um what it is called again
i've seen black smoke white folks asian folks i've seen it so
if that's going to be titled as racism entirely across the border it has to be titled as racism
so like i said if it's not anything trying to hold black people down then shoot be you
survival tip just agree with everyone
with anyone will undoubtedly turn into a lengthy discussion from which everyone leaves
angry frustrated and full of delicious paper noting certain politicians are trying to
enact legislation that would make altering his appearance illegal many dutch argue that the
tradition of zvartapiet is not racist these are fictitious characters dutch kids are encouraged to
love peten it's money but i personally don't see it as racism why because it's not like okay i can
understand you get out there and you have some cotton and you have some whips and you're like
you're doing something like that i can get that as racism but i personally don't have a problem
with it i don't know if it's um just because i'm just a chill person or something but i don't
have a problem with it because i'd probably be i don't know like life is for a living but i'm not
living up tight so i don't know i like bro i don't know if they're saying it's not something racist
a person who is racist is not going to say it's not racist so i'd say let it slide
that's what i'd say i don't know i'm probably an idiot that's if they're supposed to fear
things are changing though in some parades there are no more big wigs red lips or gold
earrings the black faces more like chimney soot streaks many businesses are trying to
avoid controversy by not selling products with the traditional zvartapiet look in protest some
parents plan on boycotting these stores while some children plan on continuing to not give a [ __ ]
i don't know bro like listen like i just like i don't know i don't know what take to say because
like if they're saying it's not racist then it's not racist bro like i get it i get it we're trying
to have fun out here and would i paint my face white i probably would i probably would you know
just to have fun it's just a chill chill moment like listen life is for living not living up tight
and if you're gonna take everything too personal like life is just gonna pass you by and you're
gonna just be miserable like if somebody does not directly do something racist stop trying to make
everything racist did you know that i've heard of white women trying to look like black woman and
they're getting called racist like if somebody like i just don't know what to say because
i don't know i i just don't know but for me i think it's a pass for me i'm definitely gonna say
go ahead and do what you're doing if you wanna whip it and i know the dutch has a strong history
with the slaves nonsense i know that practically every famous country in the european section has
history with slavery so what's the big deal right what's the big deal you know you can't get that
i don't know man i don't know what to say man y'all can be the the ones who make the decision
but i i i don't think there's anything wrong with this at all they're just having fun and
i'm pretty sure that i would probably do the same thing too so yeah whatever have fun guys
that's what he looked like yo bro you can drive
that's two that's two cars over there bro like what
