Refuse to speak Dutch! AntiDutch - 02.01.2007 02:45
Dutch is the language which was used on the slaver's ships, which was used to denigrate socalled "inferior" peoples on the colonies, to rally troops during the crusades against Islam and to incite hatred against jews by the fascist NSB which served the Nazi massmurderers and which is still used by members of the rightwing (Wilders/Fortuyn parties and assorted neonazis) to put down those of different color and/or beliefs. Even thought English is also a colonial and racist language it is a good sign to reject the racist Dutch language and society and denounces ones Dutch "heritage" and the whiteness which is associated with it. English for better or for worse is the world's lingua franca. In a new world where black, not white has increasingly cultural significance (see the dominance of rap music in popular culture), refusing to speak the Dutch language is a clear signal that the old order is past and both black and white can strive for a better world where Eurocentric attitudes are seens as the horrors which they are. |
