. Guilt for something you didn't even do nor are responsible for in any way ... sorry, that's just fucking stupid!
Social affairs minister Lodewijk Asscher has expressed the government's 'deep regret' at the Dutch slave trade at a ceremony to mark 150 years since the Netherlands banned slavery in its former colonies. Speaking in the presence of king Willem-Alexander, queen Máxima and black community leaders at the ceremony in Amsterdam, Asscher said: 'I look back and express deep regret and repentence over how the Netherlands dealt with human values'. Amsterdam's mayor, Eberhard van der Laan, said in his speech that slavery shows the other side of the Netherlands' Golden Age and the 400-year-old canal rings. A large part of the construction of the canals was financed through slavery, the mayor said. Read more here: [ link to www.dutchnews.nl] . If you would educate yourself on the subject you would understand that it was Dutch trading ships that brought the slaves to the states. Yes! By dead people! How is ANYONE responsible for what they did in the past?? Everyone who's gone through it is dead, now move on. History will repeat itself anyways... I think you missed my point.
