Going Dutch - The Netherlands' slave trade

Anti Netherlands propaganda! Not the best publicity for my country.. But come on... Long ago 'n stuff.
Would almost say: must see. Interesting short English documentary about the role of The Netherlands in the trans-Atlantic slave trade.

  • Why don't they make a show about The Role of African's in the Atlantic Slave Trade? After all almost all slaves were actually captured and enslaved by other Africans. These slaving Africans then sold their captives to Europeans for guns, rum, cloth, and trinkets.

  • If this doesn't sicken you, then you have no soul or are Dutch.
    Just kidding haze nut, feel free to absolve your Country from the misery it has thrust upon the Planet that still lingers in many ghettos around the globe while your majestic family of scum bags claim they no longer profit from slavery all the while living high off the interest of past barbarism.
    They make me want to puke, then throw them in the ocean to see how well they can swim, and if they make it to shore?
    Stomp on thier heads. More..

    • @mytwocents
      The slave trade is as old as humanity. In the 17th and 18th century slavery was common in almost the whole world. Also many dutch sailors ended up as a slave in North Africa when their ship was captured by the Spanish or by arabic slave traders. Most of them had to row the galleys for many years. Slavery was not a "privilege" for coloured people.
      Bad things happened in the past, bad things happen in the present and I'm afraid bad things will happen in the future. But we c More..

    • @dutch-1
      I'm sorry but I disagree, not with the brief History lesson as I know it is true.
      What bothers me TODAY is how you exalt the offspring of the perpetrators of something so horrific.
      Tell me your king doesn't wipe his royal arse with blood stained paper, and I'll call you a liar.

      I really fucking hate them! Imagine how I feel about her royal horses ass in GB stealing from me daily?
      No umbrage to the people of Holland, progressive and atractive is what I see.....still, I would kill your More..

  • A recent international study estimated that at it's high point the Dutch slave trade made ca. 5% of the Netherlands internatianal trade. Saying that the wealth of the Netherlands was based on the slave trade is total bullshit and real propaganda. It's not the finest page in our history, but it was only a page, not a chapter.

    • @IHATEZIONS
      Where are the white sheets and your swastika?

      You realy think that this man is talking scientific truth? It's all taking quotes out of context, that way you can proof anything.

      Even more: this man hates Jews so much that he sees a jewish influence and complot everywhere. He hates them but in a way admires them, because he makes their role enormous.
      It's funny but also complete sick.

    • @dutch-1 my friend, like they say; the winners write the history.. you would not write the bad thing about you, would you?

      plus, I am not sure that he hate the jews but he hates the zionists for sure.

      he shows the history books and proves his ideas, you welcome to dis-prove his ideas.. you can't, in fact he would be taken a court and fined by these powerful groups and historians if he was making up the fake history..

  • When it comes to bad countries on this earth, The Netherlands is at the bottom as it is such a lovely country, with damn nice people. There are at least 200 countries that need to look at themselves for being shit but not The Netherlands as you are just right. I have visited and would happily go back there anyday. The Dutch people were brilliant,your country is lovely so good on you.

  • There is nothing one can do about the choices of ones ancestors. Slavery continues in certain parts of the world to this day including Africans enslaving other Africans.

    • @downhill2400
      Don't you think thier 'royal family' whom still profit daily from thier ancestors merchant 'endeavours' should be held accountable instead of glorified?
      I do!!!
      I would hang them.
      It's a karma thing...

    • @mytwocents Bollocks, there are more slaves/ indentured labourers on the planet now than at any time in history. One of the worst places? Israel - the trafficking of eastern European girls into the sex trade. Slaves are in every developed nation on earth in some form or other

    • @Villa_jim
      I'm not disagreeing with that.
      It's those that STILL market in human bodies or profit from the past that get me angry, really angry!!
      Do I know how to stop it?
      maybe..But it would take a concerted effort from people who don't give a shit about anything but money....ya like that's gonna happen..
      In the mean time we can hang your queen, just for something to do..
      Cheers! to it!

    • @ajang Yeah, there's totally nothing wrong with buying African human beings from other Africans.

    • @ajang Yeah, cause buying humans is cool if you buy them from others like the humans you are buying. The wrongdoing of the African seller makes the wrongdoing of the white buyer A-OK.

  • So, how long should the Dutch feel guilty? Besides, Chris Matthews said on MSNBC that slavery was "America's original sin", so I don't see how this is possible. ;-)
