I guess I should feel fortunate that I had such a quality education at such a young age...this explains a lot of what you say on here. Please keep it up, your posts are very enjoyable.gimmesometruth27 said:
oh you are so far advanced than the rest of us. our 9th grade civics class did not talk about political assassinations and the powers of the president. maybe you should be the fox news pundit discussing such matters.lindamarie73 said:
You are right, we learned about the Powers of the Commander in Chief in 6th grade, not 5th grade in Civics class....my bad..gimmesometruth27 said:
i have a hard time believing that they would discuss summary executions and congressional oversight with a class of 10 year olds, but yeah whatever you say.lindamarie73 said:
No, learned that in 5th grade.gimmesometruth27 said:is ordering assassination of a foreign leader without authorization of congress another impeachable offense?0 -
I'm curious of your view of Americans at this time period too as nobody did or said anything to prevent this from happening, people just followed orders.jeffbr said:
My views generally align with yours on many things, but not on this one. I don't think it is over the top in the slightest. Different standards, perhaps. But we were well past the days of slavery. This was a supposedly intelligent and enlightened leader who decided that because our enemy had a certain eye shape, Americans with the same shaped eyes should have their lives utterly destroyed - their homes and livelihoods trashed. Perhaps it is because of the area I'm from, having known a couple of families affected, etc... But it was an absolute abomination to everything we hold dear. FDR was a sick fucker and should never be revered for his unforgivable authoritarian and racist act.mrussel1 said:
It's always important to have historical perspective. I feel like these are overstated criticisms, using the morals of today, not those of 80 years ago. You can say something was clearly wrong now, but saying FDR was a racist pos is over the top.gimmesometruth27 said:
i agree with you. i was speaking from historical consensus among people who have done documentaries on FDR, not my own personal opinion.jeffbr said:
The fact FDR felt he had to do it is exactly what I'm calling out. He was a sick fucker and gets no pass from me. I don't hold him to any different standard than I'd hold Trump to. A racist piece of shit is a racist piece of shit, even if they happen to do a couple of good things.gimmesometruth27 said:
i think history reveres FDR for his domestic achievements more than anything he did during WWII. he died before WWII ended, so the new deal is what he is remembered most for.jeffbr said:
It seemed to play well for that racist fuck FDR. History seems to revere him despite his rounding up Americans and putting them in concentration camps due to the shape of their eyes.gimmesometruth27 said:how long until trump starts rounding up americans of middle eastern descent and putting them in jail?
i am not excusing him for what he did with those camps. we were attacked and he did what he felt what he had to do as disgusting as it was.
trump's domestic legacy is terrible, and he attacked iran instead of iran attacking us. it is kind of an opposite situation in this case.
even terrible people do something right once in a while. trump signed the legislation making animal cruelty a felony. still does not excuse the other terrible shit he says and does on an hourly basis.

Its doesn't matter to republican politicians or voters how damning this or any other evidence is. As long as the so-called president continues to be a racist xenophobic anti-constitutional piece of shit that is against abortion and any sort of gun control they don't care.Halifax2TheMax said:Oh boy.

They didn't just follow orders. The fact of the matter is that vast majority of Americans were supportive of the policy. https://exhibitions.ushmm.org/americans-and-the-holocaust/main/us-public-opinion-on-japanese-internment-1942tempo_n_groove said:

And it wasn't just because their eyes were shaped differently, as Koreans and Chinese were not interred.
I'd be curious if any of you ever discussed this policy with relatives that were adults during that time period. I talked to my uncles about it, in the 90's. They both served in the war and were supportive of the policy. Again, it doesn't make it right, it makes FDR a man of his times.

That's honestly comical, since legally only Congress can declare war. Unless you're arguing that you were taught the pro and cons of the imperial executive branch and its expansion of power... in the 5th grade.lindamarie73 said:

I don't remember 5th grade that well, but I think the most you learn about the government at that age is that there's three separate branches, the legislative branch is split into two houses, and if the President dies, the Vice-President becomes President.2000: Camden 1, 2003: Philly, State College, Camden 1, MSG 2, Hershey, 2004: Reading, 2005: Philly, 2006: Camden 1, 2, East Rutherford 1, 2007: Lollapalooza, 2008: Camden 1, Washington D.C., MSG 1, 2, 2009: Philly 1, 2, 3, 4, 2010: Bristol, MSG 2, 2011: PJ20 1, 2, 2012: Made In America, 2013: Brooklyn 2, Philly 2, 2014: Denver, 2015: Global Citizen Festival, 2016: Philly 2, Fenway 1, 2018: Fenway 1, 2, 2021: Sea.

You are correct, I used hyperbole when talking about the shapes of their eyes. But land of their ancestors doesn't quite cut it either. German-Americans (white people) weren't rounded up when our troops were fighting Nazis. Perhaps it is an east coast / west coast dichotomy, since we're Pacific Rim here and had and still have a large Asian population. Certainly white farmers didn't oppose this, since it gave them a chance to take the land stolen from the Japanese-American farmers, but there was certainly local opposition in these parts. There are interesting parallels today, with Trump's Census Bureau trying to inquire about citizenship, and FDR's Census Bureau assisting in the round-ups by supplying confidential information about Japanese-American neighborhoods. I may not change anyone's mind here, but for me FDR was as authoritarian and racist as Trump and actually acted against Americans, which Trump hasn't done yet.mrussel1 said:
