In 10 years they managed to ban blackface icon Black Pete from the Dutch holiday Sinterklaas in almost every place in the Netherlands. It wasn’t easy as some of their protests erupted in actual riots and they were under constant threat of the far right. Still, they managed to kick out a racist caricature. Thank you all for your efforts ✊🏼
They felt like they achieved at least some sort of awareness among the people, and they are now giving them the responsibility. I don’t know if it is naive, but they have a point. Black Pete got banned almost entirely and we now have July 1st to remember Dutch slavery and all. More can be done, but after 10+ years they have achieved a lot.
