Le très contesté Zwarte Piet aux Pays-Bas

Aux Pays-Bas, la fête la plus importante avant Noël est l’arrivée de saint Nicolas, accompagné de son assistant, le « Zwarte Piet », grimé en noir. Si le père Fouettard fait partie de la tradition du pays depuis 1850, de plus en plus de voix s’élèvent pour dire que Zwarte Piet perpétue une vision raciste et stéréotypée des Noirs.

#Kick_Out_Zwart_Piet

Read our principles, which are based on the ideas of non-violent resistance of Martin Luther King.

A peaceful protest is what we are pursuing. #KOZP is not seeking violent activities, riot, crime, or other forms of protest which may cause unneccessary provocation. We ask everyone to come to the protest with a good, quiet and peaceful heart. Keep it positive and do not get carried away by provocative statements.
KOZP would appreciate it if everyone would come in black to create unity. The dress code is not mandatory. Everyone is welcome, but to emphasize the unity we would like to ask everyone to wear this color.
We would like to advise everyone to refer all media to spokes(wo)men of KOZP. The media are known to manipulate materials to achieve their own purposes or to create a negative image. Should you get into conversation with a journalist, be careful and attentive to what you are communicating.
By this demonstration, KOZP states that Zwarte Piet is racism. People who are pro Black Peter and others who want to disrupt the thruth, or the message of our peaceful protest are urged to respect our freedom of speech.
Anyone who can not respect the above principles, should stay at home!

In solidarity with our brothers and sisters fighting racism across the globe,

Kick Out Zwart Piet

Blackface: History of a Controversy

For an assignment in CAS 137H, we had to create a short video about the history of a contemporary controversy. Our project focuses on the use of blackface in modern society, especially related to school.
