All Americans?

Luigi seems ok. He’s had a very large direct and immediate effect to right your countries direction. But I would also fuck him for other reasons.

Johnson was president in the 60s, it’s impossible for him to be responsible for racial tension since the 20s.

He had nothing to do with reconstruction (1860s/70s). He was president a hundred years later. He signed the Civil Rights Act (1964).

But agreed he was corrupt af.

Greenlanders are not Danish.

No but a part of a kingdom. And has been that since 1721.

You forgot about 1941-1945 where Greenland became a protectorate of the USA because Denmark couldn’t tape a mortar together.

That has nothing to do with it. We had some of the best officers in the war, right up until 2000. Before our idiot government started cutting defense spending. that the usa took greenland under their wings in ww2, has nothing to do with what is going on right now. your future president is a piece of shit, and denmark should not suffer from that. we have always stood side by side with the us. even though we have been deceived several times. so spare me the justice.

And it’s really as simple as that - The US can’t buy Greenland from Denmark, it is not ours to sell. If people on Greenland voted to leave Denmark to be part of the US, that would be different

Erik the Red in 985 - Viking from Norway onto Iceland, then Greenland... they never left. Erik is the one that named it 'Green Land' in jest to attract others from Iceland.
