The World FDR Inherited Thread

[Camp]

Historians and those Americans that lived through that period do know.

Americans he threw into his concentration camps do know.

Historians know of the mistakes FDR made, these boards are filled with them, and conservative and liberal historians still rate FDR as one of America's greatest presidents.

"Concentration Camp" has a special and specific meaning when used as terminology to refer to WWII era meaning. It is a phrase related to the death and slave labor camps of Nazi's. The Japanese internment camps in no way resembled those horrible camps. America has admitted they were a mistake and blemish on our history, but to blame them totally on FDR and compare them to the Nazi death camps is political posturing and an undeserved attack on the American people. It takes our mistake and our failure of the era out of context and attempts to distorts it into a great and unforgivable evil on the level of Nazi Germany and the murder of some ten million persons in special killing camps. Kids in Japanese camps went to school, not medical experiment labs and ovens. People in Japanese internment camps were fed and received medical attention. They were not starved and when they became ill they were not pulled aside and shot. The people in internment camps were treated unfairly, forced out of their homes and imprisoned while their property was confiscated by California businessmen and politicians. At the end of the war they were released.

I guess that's why that POS FDR used the term in reference to his Concentration Camps during the WWII era.

 

[Unkotare]

but to blame them totally on FDR...

Only one chief executive's signature is on the executive order.

It certainly is a debated topic. Did the term concentration camp have the same meaning as it did after the death camps were discovered? Did FDR actually refer to the internment camps as concentration camps? If so, did he mean they were in any way comparable to Nazi concentration camps?
It is obvious that by your calling FDR a POS your opinion is based on emotion rather than academic honesty. If you find it necessary to refer to Japanese internment camps as if they were the same as Nazi death camps, so be it. It's a free country. However, it is unreasonable for you to expect others to classify America and Americans on the same level as SS Nazi murderers and Hitler like henchmen.

No, it isn't. The term accurately describes that POS FDR's camps, as he himself recognized.

Yes, because that is what they were.

 

[gipper]

and he helped to fix. America, because of FDR became the greatest nation of the 20th century

He inherited a messed up nation and world...and made it much worse. He is the worst POTUS...and we have had many really bad ones.

How many Japanese Americans were gassed and starved in American camps?

Could you provide a link? I have found the references as you described, but not been able to attribute the statements to any specific speech or document. I know someone in his administration referred to the internment camps as concentration camps, but as I said, have not been able to find a direct FDR quote.

I didn't say anyone was gassed at that POS FDR's Concentration Camps. Put away your straw man.
