“Politikamente, sosialmente, kulturalmente, spiritualmente nos ta hodidu. Esaki mester boltu den akshon revolushonario pa tumba e sistema korupto di eksplotashon kolonial ulandes,” ~Joceline Clemencia~

Reparations and The Art of Loving Your People

Reparations koño, palabra no mester ta hopi.

-What were the discussions within and outside the circles of advisors/think tank/ curators when the decision was made to let the ‘king’ inaugurate the slavery exhibition? How come ‘nobody’ in the netherlands thought it was important to mobilize/organize raise criticism against the dutch ‘king’ presence at the rijksmuseum exhibition of slavery? Why havent people seen anti-dutch monarchy, anti-colonial, reparatory justice statements, organized media discussions, from movements, organizations, institutions, artists, politicians, intelligentsia to raise awareness, protest, the royal family and hold them accountable for their genocidial wealth thievery?

Is it that the people in/directly involved understand that spitting truth to the ‘royal’ powers that be will have far reaching repercussions? Could it be that there was no option at all and the ‘king’ forced himself into the exhibition as a strategy to pacify Black fury in NL? If so how come he could arrive and walk around in the museum and leave without any sign of protest in the streets or public discourse in the media? There was no threat, no tension. People seem to forgot the 2001 Beatrix dehumanization fiasco at the opening of the slavery monument when the Caribbean and African diapora community were violently excluded to attend the inauguration because ‘queen’ Beatrix had to be protected during her presence.

How is it possible that 99% of the media articles on the exhibition international and national did not speak about the link between the royal family and dutch slavery, reparations and the current colonization of the Caribbean?

Thirzo Martha and David Blade were picked to negotiate artful expressions on the slavery exhibition? Why only them when they have anti-blackness challenges? How come no artists from the Caribbean did not get a ‘chance’? The dutch coloniality of their art talents was made very clear with the absence of imaginations of art and reparations and the enslavement wealth theft of the royal dutch family.

What was the financial budget of the rijksmuseum slavery exhibition organizers and how much has been invested into Black people? Interior design, educational material, design educational booklet, public relations, book publisher, book, editing, translating, media work, moderating, academic works.

The spinoff discussions, debates that will follow in the media and elsewhere: will there be any intent to talk about dutch monarchy and slavery and reparations? Or will the traditional erasure, white censorship, media boycott be the norm in 2021?

Rijksmuseum: dutch Slavery Still Exists in the Caribbean, Go Thank Your ‘king’.

A dutch ‘king’ whose family has and still is profiting from slavery and current colonial genocide in the Caribbean will inaugurate a slavery exhibition at the Rijksmuseum tomorrow. White monarchs of Black death using an art institution to continue wash the blood off their hands. It’s 2021 and the covid-19 calamity has proven and reconfirmed that Saba Bonaire, St. Martin Curaçao, Aruba, Statia are still being treated by the dutch government and the ‘royal’ family with the traditional enslaver mentality of centuries ago. While reparatory justice, reparations is still a forbidden conversation in the Rijksmuseum and the epicenter of international rule of law: The Hague, Netherlands.

E wa di morto ta siguiendo kore den kabes di hende.
Konmemora ku lagrima di luto, otro ku moketa sera o bokanan gruña.
Bozunan mayo ta drenta representashon di ulanda,
mara man i prop lensu Skalo 5 punta k’a drif
den kerosin den bok’i makamba stinki.
Vlamnan ta korona e lusafe di libertat pretu
ku ta ilumina e kaminda di krus kolonial ku pueblo ta kana.
Rabia, trouma, no a pari rebeldia ainda
Renkor, genosidio, habuzu
no a laga furia di un pueblo floria ainda

Sufridonan ta sunchi kadavernan politiko
ku e speransa ku kiriwichi lo kai for di shelu
Sufridonan ta kansa dje profetanan falsu di prensa
ku no por divulga e berdat

E karpachinan kolonial ku nan karanan blanku
E zumbinan krioyo ku parse nos
pero nan no tin wesu, nan no tin vena.

Pueblo beaku ta drenta banko sentral i bankonan komersial
kuminsa rementa e kaha fuerte i manda riba nan futuro finansiero
Chiku a hoga den bahia di Santa Anna su hipokresia hudieuw a hode.
Negoshinan di rifero mionario a keda ekspropia
i awoki pueblo ta invershonista di nan mes destino.
Supermerkado di pueblo a habri ront Korsou
kurasonnan kontentu sintando riba nubianan di un bida nobo

Bandonando e fe frakasa den un mesias pretu.

Bebiendo for di e pos di poder popular
ku sa su balor den Karibe.
Manda ‘t Torentje ku Binnenhof
tur den koño nan mama ulandes,
sa bo derechinan konstitushonal.
Nunka bira werfanonan
di soñonan di liberashon.
Ideologia di soberania pretu
nunka sa tin un forlestu.

Pesei e waha di morto ta sigui kore si
te ora e lora band’i Den Haag

Dia di Obrero 2021

“Klaro ta su negoshi tog… si bo no gusta e regla di bo dono di trabao kita for di trabao i buska otro trabao, masha fasil.” ~ Dr. Jerry Semper

Golpi, lucha ku palabra i moketa, bashamentu di sanger ta tin un siglo i mei pasa pa introdusi dia di labor, dia di obrero. Algu ku mayoria hende ta kere ta algu msha normal. Un bataya duru ku a kosta bida di hende pa por tin e derechi di sindikalisa e trahado pa e por defende su derechinan laboral. Kaminda antes 14 ora di trabao tabata normal nan tabata bringa pa 8 ora ku segun lei awoki mester ta normal. Awendia 12 ora di trabao a bira normal atrobe o pio den sierto kasonan nunka a disparse. Esaki a keda demostra sigur ku covid-19 pa e trahado esenshal ku semper mester a drai su bida ku pago di salario bou di su balor berdadero.

E problema di sindikatonan ront mundu ta ku nan a keda pega den nan lucha ku mester ta un guera kontra kapitalismo. Na Korsou e sindikalista ku nan kamisa bloki bloki, strepi strepi no ke o por avansa e lucha kontra kapitalismo krioyo. Ta e trahadonan di klase abou ku ta soru pa trese e ganashi di 5+ bion pa ana na Korsou. Yame ganishi , yame produkto bruto interno, kiko ku bo ke nombre e 5+ bion ei ta e plakanan ku ta sirkula na Korsou ‘legalmente’. E otro bionesnan ku ta drai aki riba e isla aki ku ta drif bou di radar no ta koi papia mes. Pero ta e muhe chiki ta produsi mayoria dje sen ei pero ta e kiriwichi so e ta risibi fin di luna, siman, dia. Un grupo chiki ta kwe tur e sen hasiele mane ta di nan e ta i ta disidi kon ta inberti e plaka ei pa e rende pa nan i nan famia i amistatnan. Sin konsulta ku e pueblo trahado, sin plama e plaka bek den e komunidatnan ku a krea e bienestar bionario. Esaki ta e robo sosial, ekonomiko, finansiero dje sistema ku yama kapitalismo.

Ora un dokter ke propaganda ku pueblo mester bai tuma bakuna pa kombati covid-19 bo tin ku skucha bon i wak su akshonnan. Palabranan manera: si bo no gusta ku bo dono di trabao ke obliga tur trahado pa bakuna anto e ora ei bo tin ku bai laga bo trabao i bai buska otro ta deklarashonnan ku ta sali for di un mente kapitalista. Komo un speshalista esaki no ta nada abnormal. Ta tipo di hende ku a bai studia afo na ulanda bin bek ku un mishon pa bira riku kore den nan audi, mercedes, bmw, porsche. Ta nan ta bon ku e komersiante, e grupo di elite ku ta kere nan ta bibando den ana 1795 ainda. Barbaridatnan ku ta sali for di boka di hende asinei ta konfirma ku nan no tin niun konsenshi di derechinan di labor, ni ku nan ta komprende ku mayoria trahado ta traha un trabao pasobra e sistema kapitalista for di momentu su mayornan a bai zoya riba kima (o hasta prome) i krea un yu e tabata destina pa bira un herment pa kapitalismo. Esta produsi labor duru, hopi, largu, gana tiki, tin nadi bisa i sigui e malchi aki te dia e bai ku penshun anto e ora ei mesunkos, sera boka no reklama e miserabel penshun pa bo no stroba kapitalismo chupa e sanger for dje pueblo pretu aki.

Di parti di sindikatonan no tin un diskushon ku pueblo, ni riba dia di obrero bandi e show di pantomina den Santa Famia na Otrobanda. Lidernan sindikal no ke papia riba COHO. paketnan di pais, redistribushon di e poder i plakanan ku awoki ta den man dje elite blanku krioyo i kompinchi pretu ku makamba. No ta konsientisa ni sindikato ni partidonan politiko MFK PNP. Ta sigui ku e ordu normal di lembe e lisinbeinnan elitario pa por sobrebibi. Mientras pueblo ta sufri i no por uni riba nan mes. Tin un liderasgo di loledat na tur nivel (ku aki aya un eksepshon). Dia di obrero den covid-19 mester bai tokante kwementu bek di podernan ekonomiko finansiero ku ta keda krea pa e trahadonan di Korsou ku nan sodo i sanger.

Segun PAR i prome minister demishonario Eugene Rhuggenaath e resultado dje elekshon 2021 tin un konklushon. Esaki pa nan ta nifika ku minister Zita Jesus-Leito tin ku hala pa sanger fresku ku a risibi mas voto drenta den parlamento. Loke sindikatonan, PAR ni MAN ni MFK ni PNP ta splika tokante nan interpretashon dje resultado elektoral ta ku mayoria grandi ku a vota PNP MFK ke pa e sistema kapitalista den lokual tur e partidonan su lombrishi ta dera aden tin ku keda destrui. Esei ta e berdat puru puru ku nan no por diskuti paso e ora ei si Colon lo kima mal kima i nan podernan politiko lo dirti dilanto nan wowo. E obrero tin un kaminda largu pa kana ainda pero e no por stop di papia, grita, lucha pa su libertatnan.
