I Am Tired of Looking at White Pete

As I was reading a post written by Hued Flower, I felt like writing a comment. I had a long day, and as I lost my notebook with over three weeks of unprocessed notes, I was not fully centered. My notes are useless to other people, because I do not use names of others unless I make lecture notes. I can imagine that the notebook nevertheless makes an interesting read. I learn from this. I should not have let go of the notebook so someone could write something down that I did not need. I have already taken steps to change this habit.

Without my notes, it is more difficult to put together articles. I was going to write on banking for one site, and on using temporary work agencies to get employment on NBP. Among many many other things.

Kwakoe Came Alive At Keti Koti

I do not work on Keti Koti day, that is why I posted an update the day before. And now it is the day after. Back to work soldiers. On Keti Koti I was about to conclude that I had not much to complain about when it came to the festival in Oosterpark in Amsterdam.

This Keti Koti festival felt exactly like Kwakoe. The old Kwakoe, not what became of it in the struggle for 'power'. Was there still any Keti Koti to Keti Koti? Well, the owner was present.

Let me explain. It is no secret that I waste no time losing 'love' on the Oranges or Red Shields or whomever owns the subjects of certain countries. The new

Leaving Keti Koti to Dutchess

Keti Koti month started today, June 1st. Keti Koti (literally 'chains cut') concerns the formal abolishment of the physical enslavement of Africans and African Americans in Suriname. Suriname is a country in South-America that has been aligned with the countries in the Caribbean Sea. That is, Suriname (Dutch Guyana), British Guyana, and French Guyana, form the three countries in South-America that are considered part of the Caribbean, based on the common story of physical and mental Black slavery and servitude. No one questions why the same does not apply to Brazil and Venezuela. It is irrelevant for now. Keti Koti deals with the formal abolishment of slavery in Suriname.

As I have been ignorant about Keti Koti month, I was not set to write an article

The Dutch Government Killed NiNsee

The Dutch government has killed NiNsee, the Nationaal instituut Nederlands slavernijverleden en erfenis, which in English translates to the National institute for Dutch Slavery History and Heritage. NiNsee organized activities in order to commemorate slavery and celebrate the abolishment of slavery, also known as Keti Koti, on July 1st. The Dutch government formally abolished slavery in the Dutch colonies - Surinam and the Dutch Antilles - on 1 July 1863 (after 200 years). Of course, slavery did not end with the formal abolishment.
