About Well Hell Time Black Pete Showed Up

Front page. White Pete in the fancy cave office is no longer able to keep up with paying inflated bills. Work pressure keeps mounting, and there is no Black Pete around to blame. Nor Black people. We are the first to get fired whenever they feel like it. Unless we managed to get our hooks into a white Pete who knows better than to let his sacrificial lamb escape so easily. Once you condone to being the Black Pete of someone who carries much weight, the other white Pete will have to back the well hell off, and find another goat. By then any color will do.

Shut Us Down to Show Us Down

October 1st. What a beautiful day to shutdown NASA. What?! Son of a dog. Now they done did it!  You thought that they were done creating crises for us? How do you like your shutdown? Shaken or stirred? Poor Denzel. He is going to have a hard time playing Obama in the movie. Obama plays Obama best. Never mind the weak jokes. What I want to know is how many years it took them to prepare this cherry on top of their terrorist pie. This is too big of an operation to put together within a few months. You still care about who utters what lie?

GOP shutdown. What do I care?

Now Where Did I Leave My Kwakoe?

In 2011 the Dutch government refused to give a license for the yearly Kwakoe (Kwaku) festival in Amsterdam, and for the first time in its history there would be no festival for the Surinam community to enjoy. The government claimed that it could only allow for a budget of 100,000 Euro when a total of about 200,000 Euro was needed.

The government did not want to invest, even though it would see a return in its investment in the form of jobs, licenses, public transport and parking, and of course taxes.

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.
