My main beef with mama Holland is that people have this weird sense of superiority; conveniently skipping over the morality of our "golden age" of trading slaves & spices. Evidence includes shows like ^ being aired, and the st. Nick black face parades that'll happen in Dec. Ugh.

I'm with you 100%, but don't you think most countries have these blind spots for their own history?

Maybe, but some choose to issue a formal apology after the fact and pay reparations for the damage done. The Netherlands chooses to hold blackface marches & call it "the golden age". Fuck that.
