Greenland issue leads to boycott of… Björk. It’s helping “crazy people” from the USA

Record store has works by the Danish singer, but refuses to sell music that benefits “the other side of the Atlantic”.

When talking about boycotts, we talk about the economy, brands from a certain country. Or about the Olympic Games. Or about… Eurovision.

It’s hard to find news about a record store boycott. But that’s what we have here. More precisely about RecordPusher.

RecordPusher is a record store in Denmark. Which, in the middle, has works of Björk.

There is, but stopped selling. Because he doesn’t want to promote someone who is benefiting “the crazy person on the other side of the Atlantic”.

Context: Greenland, Of course. The store’s owners didn’t like what the Icelander wrote about the US’ intention to buy the Danish island: “They contribute nothing to the current situation of the Danish Community.”

“Her post is factually incorrect and she creates her own reality, like Trump. This post divides friends and only helps the crazy people on the other side of the Atlantic… goodbye, Björk“, announced the store, on .

However, owner Bo Ellegaard, as a result of this decision, has been “difficult days” – because of the attention given by local newspapers and the internet. But he also thanked her for the support, affection… and the visit greenland woman (photo above) that “He made a point of going to the store to express his respect.”

“A moment of serenity and power in the midst of the storm. I was very moved. Thank you to all of you who choose dialogue over threats – and humanity over polarization”, concludes Bo.

But what did Björk say?

Or rather, what he wrote: inhabitants of Greenland, fight for independence. In short, that was it.

And the singer, who was born in Iceland, reinforced her idea in: “The Icelanders are extremely relieved to have managed to separate themselves from the Danes em 1944”.

“We haven’t lost our language (my children would be speaking Danish now). And I overflow with compassion for the people of Greenland, time and time again.”

Björk highlights the case of forced contraception, where 4,500 girls, some as young as 12, were given a contraceptive without their knowledge between 1966 and 1970. Because Denmark is reportedly trying to reduce the number of inhabitants of Greenland.

“And even today the Danes treat Greenlanders as if they were second-class citizens”, assures the singer.

Mas Björk does not support the US annexation of Greenland. He even wants the island’s independence: “Colonialism has repeatedly given me chills of horror. And the possibility of my fellow Greenlanders going from one cruel colonizer to another – is too brutal to even imagine.”
