Zwarte Piet:
The Face of National Resistance in The Netherlands

Eordred

1,962 words

In The Netherlands we have an annual tradition called Sinterklaas, which is a colloquial expression that signifies the celebration of a Christmas-like holiday named after St. Nicholas, a Byzantine bishop and saint from Anatolia, famous for his charity to children. The actual roots of the holiday go farther back to pagan traditions celebrating Yule and the coming of winter. The fatherly, horse-riding saints and the bearded Father Christmas with his sleigh are, in the end, all Christianized versions of Odin. Nordic and Germanic countries generally all celebrate this Odin-like figure and his holiday, of which Christmas is one, Sinterklaas another, and Krampus a third. In the same vein, Sinterklaas is also connected to the Austrian Krampus celebration. Both Sinterklaas and Krampus feature a bearded bishop accompanied by servants who bring gifts to children. In Krampus’ case, the servants are demons who hunt the naughty children. At Sinterklaas, Zwarte Piet (“Black Pete”) performs the same role. He hands out punishment to the naughty children, and candy and presents to the well-behaved children.

Zwarte Piet, unlike the demon Krampus, is a caricature of a negro (note that neger, or negro in English, is still a commonly used term for blacks in The Netherlands). He is always played by white men or women in blackface, featuring thick red lips, large golden earrings, a curly wig, and a funny accent, dressing like a sixteenth-century page. It couldn’t be more obvious that he is a caricature of a black man. Civic nationalists steadfastly deny that this is so, however, and insist that it is just chimney soot and colonial garb, and that people shouldn’t complain so much about racism, anyway. Truth be told, it probably was just a modification of Krampus to suit the Dutch colonial epoch; but yes, it is a caricature of a black slave.

Obviously, in our Americanized public discourse, given that Europe today is a cultural slave to America, this became a problem. Black activists started complaining that Zwarte Piet was a racist caricature offensive to “Dutch people of African descent.” In 2013, the United Nations ruled that it was a problematic tradition and should be changed. And since 2013, a debate is ongoing about Zwarte Piet every year, lasting from November until mid-December, when Sinterklaas is celebrated.

Strangely, this issue of removing blackface from an ancient children’s holiday became a robust redoubt for the defense of nationalism. When polled, eighty percent of Dutch people said that Zwarte Piet should not change. Every even vaguely nationalist or patriotic politician, media personality, actor, and academic declared themselves to be against changing Zwarte Piet. Whether conservative, libertarian, or populist, the Right was united on this issue. The Dutch could swallow mass migration, the legalization of gay marriage, a mosque on every street, a million Muslims in their country, increased crime, and increased taxes to fund the expanded welfare state – but this is where the Dutch drew the line. We will keep our blackface, and no foreign institution, activist group, or lobbyist in the world will change our minds. If necessary, blackface will be defended with violence.

Last year during Sinterklaas, the ceremony marking Saint Nicholas’ entry into The Netherlands was to be held in Dokkum, a Frisian town in the north of the country. Traditionally, a different town is selected every year for Saint Nicholas’ “official” entry. It has to be a coastal town, because he arrives by steamboat. The anti-Zwarte Piet discussion had been ongoing for four years by that point, and several activist groups had emerged whose aim was banning Zwarte Piet: “Kick Out Zwarte Piet” (KOZP), “Graauwe Eeuw” (Grey/Grim Century, a play off of the Golden Century, the era when the Dutch were the preeminent European naval and colonial power), “Stop Blackface,” and “New Urban Collective.” These groups were all set up and led by blacks, most of whom were recent arrivals from Africa to boot. Of these groups, KOZP is the most prominent, and I will use their name to refer to all the anti-Zwarte Piet black activists generally.

KOZP announced that they would demonstrate in Dokkum against Zwarte Piet, and at the same time one of the leaders of Graauwe Eeuw made death threats against the actor playing Saint Nicholas. He said he wished to see “blood and bone splinters rain upon the children in attendance.” The local Frisians decided they weren’t about to let this happen, so on the day of the event, some fifty locals blocked the highway to Dokkum with their tractors and cars, preventing KOZP from entering the town and allowing the celebrations to carry on as usual. The media was scandalized, while the common man heralded them as heroes.

The locals involved were all charged with blocking a highway and endangering traffic. In a highly politicized trial, a dozen or so of the Frisians were tried and convicted, and given comparatively heavy sentences. These snelwegblokkeerders have become folk heroes. At their trial, several hundred people showed up to support them, including politicians of the PVV (Geert Wilders’ party) and some prominent Right-wing journalists. The instigator of the blockade, a local businesswoman, was given a month in jail and two hundred forty hours of community service. In comparison, a Polish drunk driver who killed two people at a zebra crossing last year got only one hundred ten hours of community service.

The trial was held less than two weeks before Sinterklaas 2018 and became a huge media spectacle. Tensions were high given that it coincided with the revival of the usual debate about Zwarte Piet during the 2018 holiday season. In the last few weeks, over three hundred thousand euros has been crowdfunded to support the convicted Frisian snelwegblokkeerders.

And then it was time for Sinterklaas 2018. Last Saturday, November 17, was the beginning of this year’s celebration. As usual, an actor dressed as Saint Nicholas with a host of Zwarte Piet helpers sailed into The Netherlands on a steamboat. This year, the town to receive the official Saint Nicholas was Zaanstad. Most towns and even small villages who host the event hold a parade for Saint Nicholas and his helpers. The KOZP announced that they would hold demonstrations against the event in eighteen towns and cities. The news spread like wildfire, and many nationalist groups announced counter-actions, mostly dressing up as Zwarte Piet to spite the Left and handing out candy and nationalist flyers to children. It was good optics.

But the bad optics started on the day itself. As I said, eighty percent of Dutch people support Zwarte Piet staying black. And this discussion has been ongoing for five years, with the common man on the side of Zwarte Piet, while the Left, the media, and minority activists oppose him. Anger has been growing on both sides. On the day, things escalated quickly. Loose coalitions of football hooligans, activists, and working-class men started fights with the KOZP demonstrators. I will list the most notable events of the day:

  1. In Rotterdam, people drove cars into the crowds of KOZP demonstrators and hurled fireworks, eggs, and stones at them. Football hooligans from Feyenoord FC got in fistfights with them. Police had to pull the two camps apart several times with their batons. Several people were hospitalized and others arrested.
  2. In Eindhoven, several hundred hooligans from PSV FC stormed a KOZP anti-Pieten demonstration of about fifty people, breaking through the police cordon and forcing the KOZP to take refuge in a police station, all the while pelting them with eggs and beer cans.
  3. In Leeuwarden, the locals attempted to break through a police cordon to get at the KOZP demonstrators, but they failed after police reinforcements arrived. In response, the locals paid an organ player to play Sinterklaas songs and loudly sang along to drown out the demonstrators.
  4. In The Hague, a KOZP demonstration began later in the day. Large groups of gathering football hooligans from ADO Den Haag intent on disrupting the protest were stopped by police cavalry charges.
  5. In Groningen, locals and football hooligans attempted to break through the police lines to get to KOZP demonstrators. Although unable to get through, they spent the day shouting in heated exchanges with the protesters.
  6. In Hilversum, a small KOZP protest was forced to flee to a police station after about one hundred fifty locals and hooligans arrived to chase them off the street.

There were other altercations that didn’t turn violent and were limited to verbal abuse in Den Helder, Tilburg, Amstelveen, and Hoorn. In total, sixty-two people were arrested and over a dozen hospitalized. Everywhere KOZP went, they were either forced to retreat or to rely on a strong police presence to remain. Thousands of ordinary Dutchmen mobilized throughout the country in a manifestation of spontaneous rage against the minority grievance industry that is spoiling their culture, traditions, and their children’s parties. The line had been drawn in the sand, and this is where the Dutch literally fought to keep their way of life.

For us Dutch etnonationalists, however, it is an odd spectacle. We of course aren’t opposed to Zwarte Piet. We support Zwarte Piet if only so that we can annoy the Left and the grievance industry. And we acknowledge that Zwarte Piet is in fact a caricature of a black man. On the other hand, we also don’t care that some are offended. They can go and be offended somewhere that isn’t in The Netherlands. But why is it this event that sparked blind fury among the common Dutchmen? Why not one of the myriad other problems caused by multiculturalism? We have been abused, dispossessed, burdened with taxes, beaten, robbed, and assaulted by all the joys of multicultural society for decades now – and this is the breaking point? Blackface on an actor performing for children?

My personal theory is that this was such a blatant case of anti-white activism, and combined so many facets of the anti-white crusade in it, that for the common man who intuitively senses that something is wrong – who doesn’t like multiculturalism, but can’t yet articulate the cause – now sees the culmination of several decades of his dispossession embodied in a single cause: the anti-Zwarte Piet movement.

Suddenly, it has all been revealed to him. The anti-white hatred. The enmity that his own institutions have for him. All the dimensions of white dispossession are present: the Leftist media siding with an aggrieved minority against the general populace, despite eighty percent opposing the change; an activist group of recent immigrants who openly hate whites and who are ungrateful for everything Dutch society offers them; a legal system that punishes the natives disproportionately while letting minorities off the hook; a very weak excuse to pass unpopular measures (“we need to make Zwarte Piet inclusive of children from all backgrounds”); and elitist Left-wing politicians denouncing the prevailing racism among the working class.

The native Dutchman sees this dishonesty and unfairness subverting his traditions, and he suddenly realizes, “Wait a minute, this is what they have been doing all along!” He grows furious; not even his child’s party is safe from them. Not even his own childhood memories. So there is the line in the sand. No more, they say. They pushed too far.

I therefore encourage the Left to continue to try and ban Zwarte Piet, and to take even harsher repressive measures against those who rioted on Saturday (which the Minister for Justice, Grapperhaus, has already announced). Those who defended Dokkum last year were put through a political show trial. In response, this year thousands of men stood up and decided to fight – in some cases physically – when it was necessary. Let the Left keep escalating. The Dutch are angry. If they want to make Zwarte Piet an icon of nationalist resistance against globalism and multiculturalism, then blackface will become an act of defiance in our country.

    “…When polled, eighty percent of Dutch people said that Zwarte Piet should not change…”

    That is more than 100% of the native Dutch population :

    CIA World Factbook : Netherlands, ethnic groups :

    Dutch 76.9%, EU 6.4%, Turkish 2.4%, Moroccan 2.3%, Indonesian 2.1%, German 2.1%, Surinamese 2%, Polish 1%, other 4.8% (2018 est.)

      There are pro Zwarte Piet foreigners. Even Turks like Ebru Umar for example, though they are rare. Or Negroes like Ramataursing.

      But the vast majority of white Dutch are obviously for keeping Zwarte Piet black.

    2. Felix Krull says:
      November 21, 2018 at 12:45 pm

      That’s some strange statistics. Whey are Germans, EU and Polish different categories?

      At any rate, why would Turks and Moroccans care about a blackface character? They consider black people subhuman.

      1. Franklin Ryckaert says:
        November 21, 2018 at 10:18 pm

        Those are ethnic and not racial categories, though of course some ethnicities differ from others in race. The CIA is “politically correct” and doesn’t mention race as such.
        On their official website see “career & internships” under “diversity” :

        Diversity and Inclusion: Advancing the Global Mission

        Our nation derives strength from its diversity and commitment to equal opportunity. We achieve our greatest accomplishments when we draw on the talents of all parts of our society and bring diverse perspectives to our greatest challenges.

    @Franklin Ryckaert

    A great share of the creole population of the Netherlands is in favour of keeping Zwarte Piet. It is a radicalized, Marxist (name the Few) inspired movement, combining ethnocentric blacks (Jeffrey Afriyie, leader of KOZP, was caught red-handed organizing a black-only dating event), white self-haters (leftists, Marxists, Crypt’s), and expatriates. They went too far this time. However, the hooligan uprisings caused the optics of the pro-Piet movement to worsen, now that the leftist traitors had a scapegoat to ultimately distance themselves from this Dutch tradition.

    Not getting my hopes up. They’re up against infinite evil. Dutch doesn’t even have a word for evil I believe.

    1. Pieter says:
      November 22, 2018 at 5:08 am

      Sure they do: slecht. The Dutch don’t differentiate between bad and evil.
      What evil would you say they’re up against?

      1. Ozark Recluse says:
        November 22, 2018 at 9:30 am

        Your question seems disingenuous. Do you honestly not know the evil that the Dutch, like all White men, are up against?

        1. Pieter says:

          Not really, but I’m sure you can enlighten me. 🙂 I don’t do that left wing identity politics victim mentality stuff; I prefer to take responsibility for my own actions.

    Zwarte Piet is a fictional character, beloved and admired by almost all Dutch children. The costumes are mostly intended to prevent recognition, and black soot was traditionally used to help with that. You can see similar traditions all over Europe, from Le père Fouettard to Morris dancers. While it is clear that there were times in which Zwarte Piet was sometimes played as a caricature of the black man, those days are far behind us, and these days Piet is the smart, playful, helpful companion to the evermore feeble absent old Sinterklaas.

    As such, a large part of the Dutch population (about 85%) does not see Zwarte Piet as a way to make fun of the black man (or woman for that matter, since Piet has become much more diverse over the years), and it’s interesting to note that these discussions are hardly ever heard on e.g. Curacao. In general though, if you are bothered by traditions, it’s often wise to start an open discussion rather than flat out call people supporters of a racist tradition. It’s not a productive way to accomplish a change.

    1. Éordred says:
      November 22, 2018 at 4:37 am

      Why should we accept change? This is our tradition, and the people attacking it are foreigners. Racial Aliens.

      They dont get a say in our customs.

      1. Pieter says:
        November 22, 2018 at 5:06 am

        We should consider change if a large enough group has understandable grievances about a situation. Within a democracy, such change however should be initiated via dialogue, and not by force, and if a large majority rejects the change then try again later to see if public opinion has changed. Insisting that the larger group must abide by the wishes of the smaller group tends to cause anger and resentment, and causes people to dig in their heels.

        1. Éordred says:
          November 22, 2018 at 5:23 am

          There is no need to consider change when it is demanded by people who are not part of our ethnic group and therefore do not belong here. Therefore these are not legitimate grievances, nor even articulated by members of our people. They are here illegitimately and only have obtained the nationality by fraud, given to them by a treasonous political class of marxists.

          The only thing KOZP and Graauwe Eeuw and the rest can demand, is more comfortable seats on their deportation flights.

    I’ve been told that there are children’s songs about Black Pete stuffing naughty kids into his bag and taking them to Cordoba or Mauritania, in a reference to the kidnappings of Dutch and other European children from coastal villages and their subsequent enslavement by Muslim raiders.
    If this is indeed so, why don’t Dutch nationalists emphasize this aspect of the character, produce educational materials about it and bring these historical circumstances up whenever the topic of Black Pete’s origin comes up in conversation (public and private)? The goal should be to hijack the anti-Pete campaign in such a way that the media cannot talk about Black Pete without simultaneously educating the Dutch public about these historical injustices perpetrated unto their ancestors by Muslim pirates and slave traders.

    You never know what will set off a popular revolt. Politics are rapidly heating up in the US but as Kudzu Bob says, “When the second ‘civil war’ kicks off in this country, it won’t be over firearm ownership rights or some constitutional issue. It’ll probably be over something like a rerun of a TV show being cancelled by a political speech or some sporting event being affected by a demonstration.”
