And one of those three, a dem, tried to close it and even had a state and prison willing to take them. The previous dem President successfully prosecuted “enemy combatants” who are still in prison to this day. Now, which party fears the constitution?tempo_n_groove said:

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:

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.
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.
Gitmo then? We are under president number 3 and it is still going strong.

My angle is this. Gitmo may be needed so it doesn't matter whom the president is.0 -
Obama was laying the ground work to close GITMO by releasing prisoners to countries willing to take them and intending to put on trial the worst of the worse on US soil in criminal court. Repubs conjured up images of Khalid Sheik Mohammed getting Alan Dershowitz style representation and walking free and made it a campaign issue. Dems in Congress ran away from it. So much for being civilized.tempo_n_groove said:

GITMO is a colossal waste of money and prestige. What happened to all those deficit hawks?gimmesometruth27 said:

Obama was laying the ground work to close GITMO by releasing prisoners to countries willing to take them and intending to put on trial the worst of the worse on US soil in criminal court.

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:

The entire premise of your question presupposes that Americans of Japanese heritage were a threat to our nation. The reality is that they were Americans, trying to live the American dream, growing their families, starting businesses, running farms, educating their children, serving in our country's military, etc... Why didn't he round up white people of German descent? Shouldn't they have been equally as culpable for the sins of their ancestry? Rounding up innocents based on nationality or skin color is wrong in my book. How did throwing women, children, elderly, and hard working Americans into concentration camps assist in protecting America? How did destroying businesses, taking homes, taking farms, pulling kids out of school, and segregating a hard working segment of the population assist in protecting America?Lerxst1992 said:jeffbr said:

Maybe you’d like to challenge this “safe space” with some of that stellar 5th grade education you received and explain how Team Trump Treason has been great for US foreign policy, starting with how neocon ideology and Team Trump Treason’s foreign policy moves will MAGA. When you’re finished, you can explain US foreign policy as it relates to Iran and explain how Team Trump Treason’s missile strike assassination is a better foreign policy move than the six nation Iran nuclear deal. Please provide some background by providing your understanding of the Iran-Middle East political history, starting say in 1954 to present. Challenge our safe space, please?

The treatment was racist, there's no doubt.

Canada also has a shameful past in this regard, with over 20,000 Japanese Canadians interned or expelled, and property seized. I completely agree with your take on this - it was an unwarranted act rooted in racism and without any positive or protective effect.jeffbr said:

How did destroying businesses, taking homes, taking farms, pulling kids out of school, and segregating a hard working segment of the population assist in protecting America?Lerxst1992 said: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.
Under FDRs watch we lost 2400 souls while at peace.
Internment camps are wrong but how was he supposed to protect america given the Empire of Japan's aggression in Asia and against the US?my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf0 -

Maybe you’d like to challenge this “safe space” with some of that stellar 5th grade education you received and explain how Team Trump Treason has been great for US foreign policy, starting with how neocon ideology and Team Trump Treason’s foreign policy moves will MAGA. When you’re finished, you can explain US foreign policy as it relates to Iran and explain how Team Trump Treason’s missile strike assassination is a better foreign policy move than the six nation Iran nuclear deal. Please provide some background by providing your understanding of the Iran-Middle East political history, starting say in 1954 to present. Challenge our safe space, please?
