That was your big comeback?
1st off, the
Edomites were a people of color. We know this cause Esau was the same complexion as Adam, David & Solomon. Not to mention his wives were Hamites and Ishmaelites (Genesis 26:34, 28:9, 36:2-3).
Notice how you conveniently left out the rest of Genesis 27:40?
You will live by the sword and you will serve your brother. But when you grow restless, you will throw his yoke from off your neck."
The Edomites were made servants of Jacob's descendants twice.
1st by the Kingdom of Israel
2 Samuel 8:14
He also put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom he put garrisons, and all the Edomites became David’s servants. And the Lord preserved David wherever he went.
And again by the Kingdom of Judah.

Hyrcanus took also Dora and Marissa, cities of Idumea, and subdued all the Idumeans; and permitted them to stay in that country, if they would circumcise their genitals, and make use of the laws of the Jews; and they were so desirous of living in the country of their forefathers, that they submitted to the use of circumcision, and of the rest of the Jewish ways of living; at which time therefore this befell them, that they were hereafter no other than Jews.
Edom subsequently threw off the yoke both times. 1st when Israel and Judah split, leaving Edom under control of Judah. (2 Kings 8:20, 2 Chronicles 21:8,)
And again during the civil war in Judea

But let's continue tearing down this conspiracy theory you're parroting...
So if Esau was supposedly the first "white person" (according to UPKers) it makes no sense that his descendants would be white,
since there were no other white people for him to procreate with.
Leaving him with strictly women of color to marry & father children with, which is exactly what he did. That alone would've diluted any "whiteness" from his line IF one illogical assume he was white.
Furthermore, a simple look at where the Greeks (Javan) and Romans (Kittim) came from completely shuts that theory down.
But you're more than welcome to use the edom/duke theory, so I can show you where Israelites were also called dukes in the bible.
We can also debunk the twisting of Romans 9:13 (which quotes Malachi 1:2-3) by reading verses 14-33. And before you start quoting all the other prophecies against Edom, one must remember that context is key. The Edomites attacked the Hebrews in the Old Testament on many occasions. (2 Chronicles 20:1-27, Psalm 137:7, Ezekiel 25:12-13, 35:5 etc)
As for nations controlling others and having power...
Acts 17:26
And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings
You should try reading your bible more.
