Racist Concepts and Practices Infiltrate From Social, Political, and even Religious Fields into “Science”

After the world wars and the racial tragedies that followed, scientists agreed to rethink the concept of race. In 1949, UNESCO together with scientists, anthropologists, diplomats and international policy experts gathered in Paris to re-examine the concept of race. As a result, in 1950 UNESCO issued a statement that race is a flawed and unscientific concept.

"Scientists have reached general agreement in understanding that humankind is one: all humans belong to the same species, Homo sapiens," the report opens.

Zwarte Pit became a debate because it contains elements of racism and colonialism

Jop Euwijk and Frank Rensen in an article in Historiek provide some of the earliest examples of how Black Pit characters began to be seen as reflecting racism.

The first example is the incident in 1927. A black man on trial in Rotterdam defended himself that he beat a dockworker for verbal abuse. He also said black people in the Netherlands were constantly called "Black Pit".

Another incident occurred in 1939. At that time a black teacher was reprimanded by a student's parents when they were riding the same tram in the Sittard area. The reason was trivial: his son cried after seeing the Black Pit there.

Black Pit Doesn't Have To Be Described As Black

 How did the Black Pit character and all its controversy begin?

One of the earliest archives of him can be found in the 1850 children's book Sint Nikolaas en zijn knecht 'Saint Nicholas and his assistant' by former schoolteacher Jan Schenkman. This unnamed character is simply called a “helper” who accompanies Sinterklaas activities with the children. His outfit was white with a model resembling a sailor's suit, instead of today's caricature-looking Pit costume.

Rasta supporters straighten accusation

If people say Rastarian smokes weed and grows dreadlocks, it's true, it goes much deeper than that.

According to the Old Testament book (Leviticus 19:27), Rastas believe that one should not cut their hair because that is where their strength lies. Dreads form naturally over time.
