Comments by "Lynott Parris" (@DenUitvreter) on "In a year of Black Lives Matter protests, Dutch wrestle with the Christmas tradition of Black Pete" video.

A bit strange to make a video with a man who's still in denial about his own people's slavery past. Akwasi that is. His parents were welcomed as refugees from Ghana despite crossing many safe countries. He whines about beeing called Aquarium in school as a racist name joke, while he has also said he went by his real name of Anton back then. He whines about black kids not beeing sent in high enough education while his education was too high for him and didn't manage to finish it. He whines about how the Dutch got rich from slavery, not true, but can't accept his own Ahsanti forefathers beeing far bigger and worse slavetraders than the Dutch. He comes to Amsterdam and claims the canal houses should be his because of slavery, allthough they were build with money from the Baltic Sea trade and not with the slaves his ancestors sold. He acts like he wants to have a reasonable conversation about racism but threatens with violence and has been doing so for a decade. He's such a fraud.
