Derksen looks back on ‘Akwasi joke’: ‘They can all crack me! | Entertainment

entertainment">“What bothers me terribly is that whole pack of hypocritical, underhanded people in the Netherlands who, if you say something, immediately put a label on you. René makes a joke by sitting down dressed as a woman, because a Belgian has been a reporter for thirty years and one day suddenly became a woman. Well, there should be no joke about that ”, he begins his story. “I’m kidding about it AkwasiI’m a racist. All those bastards are waiting for a slip of the tongue or a joke that goes wrong and they immediately put a label on you. ”

Trutland

entertainment">He continues: “They want to silence anyone who has an opinion that differs from their opinion in the Netherlands. And if we give in to that, and we are quickly inclined to that, the Netherlands will immediately be a big bastard country. I am so disappointed in some things. I’m joking about Akwasi, everyone knew that was a joke. It wasn’t even such a bad joke. But it was a joke. Then Talpa’s information department arrives: ‘panic, panic! Angry phone calls are coming from the country! ‘. They make a press release in which they say they distance themselves from everything that has to do with racism. Well we too! We said that a hundred times at the table! ”

entertainment">Derksen finds it especially difficult that people drop him. “I said that I didn’t mind so much that commercials were dropped, because we always thought they were very long in our program. The management immediately in an email: ‘don’t do that! Don’t throw oil on the fire, because it is a very serious matter ‘. Then I think: ‘shake up! Get behind your people ‘. The craziest people drop you. I will tell you, I was completely surprised about that, I am making a blues festival in Grolloo with two other people. We hire Mojo to set up the tent and to call those artists and arrange the chairs and stuff. They are employed by us and Mojo also wants to do politically correct for the stage and sends a press release in which they say that they do not know if they still want to work with me … I don’t know if I still need you next year! That sanctimonious thing. ”

Big mouth

entertainment">But despite everything, Derksen does not intend to give up or change. “I’ll tell you Wilfred. I am very easy in it. I’ve been everything except a pedophile, so I’ll never stroke a little boy on the head either, because then you’re fucked. I am 71 years old, I have had a big mouth all my life. I am untouchable, but if mister De Mol thinks it is going to be crazy, he sends me away, I shake your hand and then I return to Drenthe singing. They can all burst from me! I just keep saying what I think. I gladly accept the consequences. ”
