Six to eight black men - part 2 of 3

He gets so much of this wrong...it's a bit distressing. Zwarte Piet's black because he's a chimneysweep (the willow branches aren't switches; it's a chimneysweep's broom). The 6-8 number came about during WWII and was introduced by Canadians when they helped out with post-war reconstruction. The old songs only mention one Zwarte Piet for the most part.

this is the least funny shit i've ever experienced

i belive that the outfit is modled after the acting group that dressed much in the same way during the equle rights movement. caracterizing the stereotype while at thesame time pushing for desegrigetoin. it was a means to an end.

get over the "racial" thing. This stuff is soo funny, I couldn't stop laughing the first time I heard it. Comedy is taken so serious at times

The first time I heard this I was literally crying with laughter; my husband ran in from the next room to ask what was wrong. It took me a couple of minutes to get enough control to tell him I was laughing.

This is so dumb.
Sinterklaas isn't the same guy as Santa Claus.
Just about all the Dutch people celebrate Christmas seperately from Sinterklaas.

He makes our tradition seem bad but it is really nice! he just makes everything bigger.
