Or specifically those white folks. Denmark and Norway have ruled Greenland since 1300s without exterminating the local population and pushing them into reservations. It hasn't been perfect. But the "white folks in America" have a horrendous track record with indigenous people: Genocide, oppression..
Denmark has forcibly taken Greenland children to Denmark for reeducation. Greenland women are currently suing Denmark over involuntary sterilizations.
That is genocide.
Of course that is bad. But you cannot compare that to the US, where the government paid money per native American shot dead. Americans would go tent to tent and shoot women and children dead. To suggest the Greenland situation was similar is a great injustice to native Americans.
You got the trail of tears. Agreements torn up when US government found natural resources on native lands. The injustices and cruelty against native Americans has just been horrendous. We cannot relativize these crimes and suggest forced adoption is similar. It is bad but not at same scale.
Passing on lessons learned from events from our past incorporates heartache, wisdom and honor, always, but this time also humor. Reverence earned. Well done.
Yeah Canada and Panama were both also threatened recently by Trump which is... kinda concerning that a lot of people forgot that part (not picking on the OP btw!).
