Racism is not Racism when practised by Dutch Liberals

Hypocrisy rears its ugly head again in The Netherlands. Paul Belien's Brussels Journal has the story.

Last week Robin Gerrits from the Leftist newspaper the "De Volkskrant" reported on a Dutch schoolbuilding which is used by two Amsterdam schools. One is a state school and the other a denominational school, run according to the Montessori philosophy.

In The Netherlands one sends one's children either to a state run school, as does about 1 third of the population. Or one sends them to a denominational school, usually meaning Christian. However a long time ago Dutch upper class twats decided they needed denominations that were non-religious so they came up with Vrije School (Liberal School) and Montessorischools. Here the kids will not be graded, not be under authority, but under persuation etcetera etcetera. I am sure we can all image the smug, conceited parents who send their children there and the smug, conceited human material it produces. Guarantueed to vote Greens or Socialist-Pacifists or Feminist-Liberal-I-don't-know-whats.

Anyway as the public school "Rietlanden" in Amsterdam-East is losing more and more children because it is a black school and all the middle and upper class White parents refuse to send their children there because we all know what will become of little Richard and little Christina when they go there. So they send their kids to the 8th Montessori school that demands all kinds of extra payments, certain philosphical declarations and parental involvement. Things 98 percent of the immigrants living in Amsterdam are not capable of or not willing to do.

Almost all the white middle class children in Amsterdam seem to go to one of these Montesorri schools. These schools have become very popular and need space, space that black "De Rietlanden" has in abundance. The management of the 8th Montessori school makes an offer to the unpopular black school to rent their unused school space.

Soon the rich White school has taken over half of the poor state school. And soon the habit develops that the White kids use one entrance and the Black/Muslim kids use another one. And this has been going on for 20 years already, all over The Netherlands.

Anyway, Paul Belien takes the Volkskrant article, writes his own take on it and says that as all over the world whites prefer to be amongst their own kind and makes references to the USA South's Segregation and South Africa's apartheid.

That did not go down well with Robin Gerrits who penned a letter stating that what is happening has nothing to do with racism and that it is all voluntary. "The reality is much more subtle, and is not racist" and "In your ‘translation’ the impression is conveyed that one school has intentionally decided to make separate entrances for black and white children."

Indeed the present segregated situation is not organised by an ideologically inspired state. In The Netherlands parents can make a choice to what kind of school they will send their children and this choice is protected by article 23 of the Constitution on Freedom and equal state funding of Education. This is precisely the article Ayaan Hirsi Ali is railing against, because of the segregating effect it has.

Back to our indignant Leftist Robin Gerrits of the Volkskrant. You do not think that if White parents anywhere in the world wanted to keep their kids in schools that are say: 98 percent white and and our brave lieutenant of the Holier-than-thou-brigade
would be reporting that he would call it anything but: Racism, discrimination and you name it?

Come on, on what kind of school are Robin Gerrits children? Snouck says on a Montessori school. I am 80 percent sure of it. Perhaps on a Christian school (usually 90-100 percent white). But definitely not on a Black state school.

The Dutch are voluntary segregationists, the parents in the Deep South and South-Africa at least could use the defense that they were under State coercion.
