Greenland USA

Forced sterilization (genocide) is why Greenlanders hate Denmark, besides the racism.
It indeed factors into which country Greenlanders will choose.

Trump's administration is exploiting Greenlanders existing grievances against Denmark in an attempt to cause alienation and division but the issue has nothing to do with the reason Trump wants Greenland

So... you consider The Spiral Program genocide, yes? 
Danish sterilizing the Inuit in the 60s and 70s is genocide for you?  

What was it called when the United States implemented the same exact type of program at the same time our indigenous people without consent? 

Do you just ignore reality? 

We've done what Denmark has done and then some.

Or did you forget we also moved 150,000 Indigineous people to Oklahoma to ethnically cleanse the land for white development and slave plantations? 

Just stop. Your make America look uneducated and retarded.

The Prime Minister of Greenland seems to think it’s genocide…

“This is straightforward genocide, carried out by the Danish state against the Greenland population.”

Just stop. Your make America look uneducated and retarded with this type of argument.

I highly recommend Greenlanders watch 'Killers of the Flower Moon' before considering striking any type of deal with the US government

For the Danes to do such a thing in this millenium suggests they are failing to manage the place.  Their need for secrecy may be the very factor holding back foreign investment.  

America may have been desperate in the 1830s and 40s in exactly the same way, but what compelling need is there to treat Greenland natives so wrongly now?  The US and NATO nations could step in, if only economically, and make it affordable to manage the place without trying to wipe out the natives.  


As an aside, what foreign conqueror would have treated American natives better in the age of Colonialism?  King Leopold, perhaps?  One conqueror or another would have stepped in for sure.

It is my not-necessarily-historically-supported suspicion that the UK and France gave the US so much territory because they had been formerly responsible for it, and various elements like pirates may have been moving in and making the Indian Reserve and French Louisiana a haven for crime as well as untaxable.  Perhaps Florida as well. If it was untaxable, then they would have had to expend tremendous resources to police those territories and keep from being sued or declared war on by the powers they victimized.  As I have pointed out, there are indications of human trafficking among the natives, who may have had pirates living in their midst.  It was one of the points of my thread that piracy could have influenced the US Civil War.

Are there Greenlanders in it?
Is about Greenlanders?
You think they need to watch a movie about genocide when they just lived through one?
Why don’t you urge them to eat danishes while they watch it?
Will that be enough punishment for them for your liking?

So...

Okay, we're talking about the same thing then. 

What does that make us? If they called themselves out why do we have to strip the Smithsonian of all references to our track record of atrocity and pretend we weren't worse? 

By your own logic, they are better than us for admitting their past eugenic genocide while we cant even acknowledge we did the same thing to many many more. 

Wheres our ongoing investigation? 

Please try to disprove this.

In terms of absolute numbers, the United States sterilized significantly more Indigenous women than Denmark during the 1960s and 1970s. However, both nations targeted roughly 25% to 50% of the fertile Indigenous female populations in their respective regions during this period. 

Its not a good justification, its just mindless propaganda to hypnotize the populace with.

Native American women in the US were being sterilized in the 1980s

No, this is about how all governments all throughout history have genocided Indigenous people 

Do you care more about Greenlander grievances more than the grievances of natives in your own country who've suffered the same fate?

Since when did you start caring so much about Greenlander injustice

I’ll make this super duper simple for you.

Denmark genocided the Greenlanders and continue to whitewash it and cover it up.
The US never did anything to the Greenlanders.

Do you now see why the Greenlanders hate and don’t trust Denmark?
The Greenlanders don’t give a fuck about the Indians in America in the 1800’s.
It’s nothing personal, they just have other genocides to deal with.
Their own.

Since I’ve entered a Greenland thread.
How about yourself?
