(Not) UN on Sinterklaas: Yep, we are guilty.

[Fragony]

The UN even has an opinion on our Sinterklaas festivities. Absolutily racist naturally, no matter that black people also celebrate it, finger->forehead. http://www.scribd.com/mobile/doc/177303852

They also celebrate it in our former colonies http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LJeUye3...%3DLJeUye3zZnU

See them being hurt by it

UN, stfu, you must

It's good to know that we are tackling the important issues in the world...

"During the celebration, numerous people playing the Black Petefigure blacken their faces, wear bright red lipstick as well as afro wigs"

Wait... you guys still do the whole blackface thing?

Anyway Frag just read this thing carefully. Or at least read the bottom questions - they are requesting more information. They want to know if people have complained (Question 2), if the African community has been involved (Question 3 and 4) and then what has been done to ensure that those who have expressed that they are offended by this have their offense nullified (Question 5). Can you explain what is so objectionable about these questions?

And because Frag's instant rage demanded that he post up his link without googling first, here is an English link:

Note this part of the link:

The letter also hints that the character of Black Pete may undermine the Netherlands’ efforts to have the Sinterklaas celebrations recognised as part of official Unesco’s immaterial cultural heritage listings.

This makes complete sense to me in that context. Hell, it makes sense to me in any context, but particularly that.

Black people celebrate it themselve it is totally harmless. In our tradition they are black because they are going down chimneys to deliver the presents. They are really the ravens of Wodan though, hijacked pagan stuff.

Edit I forgot, screw their list and screw them, catch somethin for me please.

Then that will be calmly related to the UN and they will let you go.

You just want to be angry at the One World Government for putting white people like you down. This is nothing.

Bein extremily annoyed is just as bad as slightly angry. Same thing. The same day they as for 400 troops among some are special forces and apaches. Same UN, same day

In Mali by the way. I haven't heard of it either.
