Dutch Christmas Celebrations Still Include Blackface (Video)

Watch the Zox expose on Zwarte Piet (Black Pete) in the Netherlands. Blackface!

But the times, they are a-changing…slowly.

Too short. Well worth watching though.
Interview with LL Cool J in his old neighbourhood for Dutch Television (by Marcel Vanthilt). Old School Hip-Hop – Broadcast of 1986 by VPRO.

“I don’t care…ROLLER COASTER…IN THE HOUSE!”
It’s in The Netherlands. Been on the market for over 6 months. And it’s pretty pricy, according to The Today Show. But looks kinda fun though, right?
