Sinterklaas [sɪntər'klaːs] (or more formally Sint Nicolaas or Sint Nikolaas; Saint Nicolas in French; Sankt Nikolaus in German) is a traditional Winter holiday figure still celebrated today in the Low Countries, including the Netherlands and Belgium, as well as French Flanders (Lille) and Artois (Arras). He is also well known in territories of the former Dutch Empire, including South Africa, Aruba, Suriname, Curaçao, Bonaire, and Indonesia. He is one of the sources of the holiday figure of Santa Claus in North America.

Zwarte Piet
In the folklore and legends of the Netherlands and Belgium, Zwarte Piet ['zʋɑrtə pit] (About this sound pronunciation (help·info)) (meaning Black Pete) is a companion of Saint Nicholas (Dutch: Sinterklaas) whose yearly feast in the Netherlands is usually celebrated on the evening of 5 December (Sinterklaas-avond, that is, St. Nicholas Eve) and 6 December in Belgium, when they distribute sweets and presents to all good children.

Like the Golliwog, Zwarte Piet is a racist relic, so why is it part of the modern Dutch Christmas?
...De Hems considers the loss of white Dutch costumers to be more important than the harm the use of this promotion material does to those at the receiving end of racism, as they replied: "A regular Dutch costumer did not want to come, because we don't have black Zwarte Pieten."..."

Gay Golliwogs can be trusted to do whatever the White Supremacist Racists tell them to do.
GOD IS WHITE. GOD IS NOT ALMIGHTY.
De Hems
ReplyDeleteDe Hems is a café, pub and oyster-house in the Chinatown area of Soho, London, England just off Shaftesbury Avenue.[1] It made its name purveying oysters and now sells beers from the Low countries such as Grolsch and Heineken with Dutch food such as bitterballen and frikandellen.
It is on the site of the Horse & Dolphin coaching inn which was built in 1685 and had been owned by bare-knuckle boxer Bill 'The Black Terror' Richmond in the early 19th century.
