Why do YOU think it is "negative" to have a black face? They freaking love this day, it's a family-friendly event where everyone has a great time. We dress up as santa...because we all hate him? Yeah, HUGE no |

It has nothing to do with racism. Fuck this political correctness. People have the right to be offended about this and they are allowed to protest but stay with the fact that we are a very tolerant people. |

As it has for hundreds of years here. Those Black Peter's are black from the chimney's. Not because they are black/slaves or anything like that. Stronger even, the black Peter's are often more loved, respected and admired by the kids then Sinterklaas himself. Saint Nicholas (Sinterklaas) was a real man, who loved the kids. None-the-less, it is all the roots of this modern day Santa Claus myth. [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] It is merely today a tradition of man. Nothing to follow, but also nothing to make into something it is not.

I have seen African people paint themselves white in ceremonies and what not.
