Sorry I suck so much, but I shall try to make you love me again in 2 short weeks.

“Zwarte Piet (meaning Black Pete) is a companion of Saint Nicholas (Dutch: Sinterklaas) whose yearly feast in the Netherlands is usually on the evening of 5 December […] when they distribute presents to all good children.” (Wiki)

doesn’t seem too bad so far…

BUT, Zwarte Piet is depicted in basically like this

But guys, the Netherlands is not racist. Zwarte Piet is simply the devil chained in servitude to Sinterklaas, or possibly just his helper that he brought with him from Spain. nbd. Oh, also, he is only that black because he has to slide down sooty chimneys.

A little aside: Santa Claus does not get so dirty beacuse, as we all know, he had Dockers stain proof his suit. And, in the Netherlands, not even soot would dare fuck with Santa.

If you read all that stupid history shit, congrats! Now on to the fun stuff, pictures I collected of Zwarte in Ammy:

Piet department store decor

Piet just hanging out with his broom @ Madame Tussaud’s (yes that is waxObama in the background)

I forgot to mention, Piet has evolved into Pieten (many piets) a gaggle of Sinterklaas’ chimney friends.

These creepy Pieten are in a cosmetic shop window, and dressed as Princess Jasmine (it is a little known fact that Piet loves Disney, also Sinterklaas is like Northern Europe’s Halloween).

AND FINALLY…….

I stalked a group of 5 young Pieten…

AND GOT A PICTURE WITH THEM!!!!!
