It was about acknowledging the past and overcoming it. To come together and celebrate: A black man from a former colony, representing his former colonizers and saying it is a birth of a new age. Slavery did not break the Surinamese and it did not break the Dutch. Respect to Jeangu and the whole delegation.

For me Eurovision is about culture and authenticity and this was such a personal piece of Jeangu, I was moved. These lyrics can be applied to so many situations even till this day and we should not forget that this is a part of the Dutch heritage too. Can't we just feel the love that all our fellow Europeans are trying to bring into this comment section without shutting them down just because you are a PVV voter?

[@rachelfox8108]

@@Waterdiver3900 Really? This song is literally about embracing the history of the Netherlands and growing from those roots. "Yu no man broko mi" comes from a Sranan idiom, "Though I am half a cent (worthless), you cannot break me", Sranan being an English and Dutch Creole language from Suriname -- a South American former colony of the Netherlands where Dutch is spoken fluently today. The message was very clear: by knowing your history, you grow from it towards a united future. You assume it was "anti-white" because the performers are Black, but how can it be when he performed it for Eurovision, on behalf of the Netherlands? You're just looking for "anti-white" sentiments everywhere because you want to. Talk about self-victimisation.

It's very telling that by "that's why people don't like it", what you really mean is, "that's why white people don't like it", and it has a lot more to do with the performers being Black than their talent or anything they've sung.
