      I was shocked when I went to the National Museum in Nuuk. I don’t know why I thought Denmark would be different to every other nation but it really does seem that almost every nation with power over another will behave in the worst way possible.

      Or at least we all used to. I think (or naively hope perhaps) we all behave much better now.

      Let’s spell it out without euphemisms – sterilisation.

      This is a good first step towards reconciliation, though.

      Apologising for forced sterilisation while simultaneously taking babies from indigenous women after „parenting tests“.
      Taking babies from indigenous people sounds like what Canada did.

      And it was about time. This took too many years to apologize for. This genocide should never have took place and Greenland truly deserves much more than a simple apology for this.

      Astroturfing going crazy. Fascinating. Thank God for the skeletons coming out. Though the timing is very fortuitous.

      Meanwhile China is still doing this and we’re not doing anything about it. We are complicit in the Uyghur genocide.

      We should have apologised for this year’s ago. But better late than never.

      The comments so far are also about what I expected, considering this article: https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/s/NYDirIXFpd

      So many comments with „DENMARK BAD!! Greenland need to leave Danish ‚Rigsfællesskab‘ and get independence“ not saying all comments like that are from Americans. I’m more guessing Russia. Why? Obvious reasons. Division.

      Anyway. Fun fact: the Inuit people are NOT the indigenous people of Greenland. Who were then? The Vikings from Iceland were. When the Inuit came to Greenland, they killed the livestock that the vikings were dependent on and thus killed/drove away the vikings.

      Great step from Denmark. It’s important to acknowledge mistakes and sincere repent to move on.

      It’s a fair article. But Americans using it to claim that Greenland needs to belong to USA is just spam. Greenland had powerful politicians at that time too allowing this to happen as they saw it as a way to population control and get rid of unwanted pregnancies. This is why Denmark is apologizing AND Greenland is apologizing too!

      And the apology shows that both parties are regretful and will try to be more transparent and fair in the future. Especially as back then there were no laws against it so it was just done. Now with wide concent laws for anything medical this can’t happen. It’s impossible. Back then doctors had way too few rules and this harmed patients all over the world. Mainland Denmark too.

      Not sure why Americans are so eager to repost this article and then the child taken away article. If Denmark thought apologizing was a bad look they wouldn’t do it. They do think it’s a good look. Americans not getting it doesn’t help their case here.

      This happened but surfacing this right now is a US influence operation

      This is silly. Should the Danes also apologize to the British because the Vikings plundered them?

    21. RealOzSultan on

      Didn’t they just seize a Greenlandic woman’s child because she failed some parentingtest?

    22. xiaopewpew on

      Denmark is only apologizing for it now that the US is using this to subvert Greenland…

      Euronews is funded by the same media person that owns Orban. The Kind of media channel like Al Jazeerah but instead of a Muslim country bias it has a conservative bias.
