Dit twitterdraadje is bedoeld om de M/V’en van Nederland terug te roepen van het zogeheten Zwarte Pieten front.

‘Ja maar Zwarte Piet is onze cultuur
Ja maar Zwarte Piet is niet racistisch
Ja maar Zwarte Piet wordt ons afgepakt
Ja maar Zwarte Piet is een kinderfeest!’
‘Gelijk hebben-gelijk krijgen’ is nog maar het begin van wat ik hier allemaal van vind. Ik stond voor de Blokkeerfriezen in 2017, voor de ondernemers die bedreigd werden door anti-Piet activisten en voor kinderen die veilig en gezellig moeten kunnen feesten. Dat blijft ook zo.
