FDR- the Icon Hero of the Left

[Unkotare]

Military Commander with the task of defending the western US coast against Japanese attack and espionage was in favor of and asked for the Japanese internment program. FDR's hands were tied so to speak. He would have had to go against his military commanders on the internment issue.

Nobody cared how the Japs were treated after Pearl Harbor

Wrong

Bull.

German Americans were allowed to go free.

Are you claiming Gen. DeWitt is fictional and no east coast Germans were imprisoned?

Innocent American Germans were not rounded up in groups and thrown into prison just because.

 

[regent]

Progs are in a dilemma over FDR. He was one of the Founding Prog fathers who preached "positive rights". In other words, he promoted exponentially expanding and power hungry government but was a racist and locked up innocent Japanese Americans. He also tried to change the Constitution to put stooge judges on the Supreme Court so that they would rule in his favor.

Shrug, they just embrace him anyway..

Disgusting.

So did the Japanese Americans ever vote Democratic again? Did any Japanese Americans ever join the American army during the war?.....

Red herring - again.

So Red Herring must mean "I don't know?" There are a number of history books on the Japanese internment. if you need, I can give you a couple of titles. As for the Supreme Court you might start with the Judicial Act of 1801.

Votto, you don't know that "innocent Germans" were not interned.

You are disingenuous and disgusting.

From wiki

Japanese Americans were incarcerated based on local population concentrations and regional politics. More than 110,000 Japanese Americans in the mainland U.S., who mostly lived on the West Coast, were forced into interior camps. However, in Hawaii, where 150,000-plus Japanese Americans composed over one-third of the population, only 1,200 to 1,800 were also interned.[9] The internment is considered to have resulted more from racism than from any security risk posed by Japanese Americans.[10][11] Those who were as little as 1/16 Japanese[12] and orphaned infants with "one drop of Japanese blood" were placed in internment camps.[13]

With the US entry into World War I, German nationals were automatically classified as "enemy aliens." Two of the four main World War I-era internment camps were located in Hot Springs, N.C., and Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia.[2] Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer wrote that "All aliens interned by the government are regarded as enemies, and their property is treated accordingly."

By the time of WWII, the United States had a large population of ethnic Germans. Among residents of the United States in 1940, more than 1.2 million persons had been born in Germany, 5 million had two native-German parents, and 6 million had one native-German parent.[citation needed] Many more had distant German ancestry. During WWII, the United States detained at least 11,000 ethnic Germans, overwhelmingly German nationals.[3] The government examined the cases of German nationals individually, and detained relatively few in internment camps run by the Department of Justice, as related to its responsibilities under the Alien and Sedition Acts. To a much lesser extent, some ethnic German US citizens were classified as suspect after due process and also detained. Similarly, a small proportion of Italian nationals and Italian Americans were interned in relation to their total population in the US. The United States had allowed immigrants from both Germany and Italy to become naturalized citizens, which many had done by then. In the early 21st century, Congress considered legislation to study treatment of European Americans during WWII, but it did not pass the House of Representatives. Activists and historians have identified certain injustices against these groups.

Looking at the facts, FDR assessed the threat of German natives while singling out the Japanese cuz they had slanted eyes.

Dolt.

Yup, we all remember FDR's slaves working on the WH's plantation.

Jake,

The Japanese Americans were put into prison camps for being Japanese...

Now Jake if Trump did this to Muslim Americans you would scream like crazy about how Trump is evil but FDR is a hero to you.

Also during Roosevelt tenure as President he sent Jewish people fleeing death camps back to Europe and yet you scream about how Trump is a damn Nazi for deporting illegals...

So if FDR is a great hero of America then you have very low standards because the reality is FDR was a racist bigot from upstate New York from a very rich family, but hey Trump is a Nazi and FDR is a hero to those like you...

That was 1942 America

We were racist

The overwhelming majority of you FDR apologists are morally bankrupt, cockamamie, imbecilic, totalitarianism advocates with a total lack of empathy for other human beings.

FDR's cure for slaves suffering from PTSD was a fucking firing squad.

Progs must lie or their agenda will be defeated.

Hence Obamacare.

Absolute, stinking bullshit. Naval intelligence told him that Japanese Americans posed no threat to the nation. The scumbag knew exactly what he was doing when he threw AMERICANS into his CONCENTRATION CAMPS, and he knew why. His hands were dirty, not tied.

If you think this is bad, look at how Asians are handled across the country by Progs.

Asians with a perfect 4.0 are snubbed by Ivy League schools all the time in favor of other races.

And look at Hollywood. How many famous Asian actors are in Hollywood?

Sure, if they fit the Kong Fu stereotype, but that is about it.

Ringle was real, and Munson was real too.

Naval intelligence was not the controlling authority. An Army General was the controlling authority and that is the one FDR listened to. Naval intelligence did not have the responsibility of defending the west coast. Gen. DeWitt had the responsibility. He was the one FDR listened to.

Obviously, you can't read.

Time to change the history books I reckon

My bad, public schools don't include any of this in history books.

So fucking disingenuous. The fdr apologists will shame themselves in any way necessary to uphold their idol. The only "controlling authority" that mattered was the only person who put his signature on the Executive Order to throw innocent Americans into concentration camps. You can't excuse it away.

Digital History


"The Munson Report

In October and November of 1941, Special Representative of the State Department Curtis B. Munson, under Roosevelt's orders, carried out an intelligence gathering investigation on the loyalty of Japanese Americans. His report concluded that Japanese Americans are loyal and would pose little threat. He wrote: "There is no Japanese `problem' on the Coast ... There is far more danger from Communists and people of the Bridges type on the Coast than there is from Japanese."

FDR made us into a modern democracy

Apparently "modern democracy" leverages bread and circuses to keep the plebes in line.
