Facebook is once again performing it to completely miss the mark. This time, they deleted a Facebook photo of a black boy dressed as Soot sweep piet. It’s not easy either, fighting racism …
Leonardo van Lenthe was born in Brazil and grew up in Dalfsen. In recent years he played Zwarte Piet for the Sinterklaas association ‘Het Grote Boek van Sinterklaas’. He could only come to work for his association as Roetveegpiet, because everyone is now afraid of being called a racist and thus receive negative publicity, so he also had to conform to this imposed new standard.
At Facebook they have actually mistaken his skin color for an expression of racism in the form of Zwarte Piet. That is actually just a form of racism. At the same time, it also shows that a dark boy like Leonardo has no problems with the alleged racist caricature. So KOZP and the rest of the virtuous Netherlands will soon label him again as an ‘Uncle Tom’ who denies the struggle of his own people. Or colonialism and institutionalized racism have affected his brain and of course he is just a victim.
The real victim in this whole story is the Sinterklaas association that is now being screwed by Facebook, because this prevents them from advertising. It’s also something, isn’t it, are you finally going with that madness, isn’t it good again!
