There is plenty of evidence that FDR was a racist.
So why are the Progressives so enamored with him?
Should his image be removed from the dime and his statues be removed?
Should Reagan replace FDR on the dime?
Should FDR statues be replaced by Trump statues?

The Italians and Germans (some ) were also interned...It's what the US did during WWI also..It is what other nations do as well when they are at war...

We should have done that to muslims after 9/11.

Considering the era in which he served
FDR was one of the LEAST racist Presidents

See? DemoKKKrats will defend FDR to the death. They LOVE his racism and anti-semitism.

How do you figure that, RW?

Roosevelt fielded a Jim Crow Army during WW2, even though millions of men were being inducted.

It would have been the ideal time to integrate the armed forces and open it up to people of all races as well as sexual identities and preferences. Wouldn't it have been great to see men in drag invading the beach at Iwo Jima instead of normative white guys.

The US was in a crisis after Pearl Harbor

FDR was not in a position to integrate the Armed Forces as he had to turn our military into the most powerful on earth.
Hate to tell you, but there were gays in the military during all of our wars

Why do you think that a Jim Crow Army is more powerful than a racially diverse army?

And if you are right, are you in favor of resegregating the military so we can have the most powerful on earth again?
 
Funny, you Dims don't use the same logic when talking about the Founders. Wonder why?



BTW....FDR was both an anti-Semite and a racist.....just like his party.


"... Roosevelt’s embedded anti-Semitism was not confined to jokes. It was displayed in the refusal of the American government in 1939 to admit the desperate refugees on board theS.S. St. Louis,who were returned to Germany [to their deaths] – or to even fill the quotas that authorized the limited admission of Germans.

It was revealed in American government suppression of information about the mass murder of European Jews.


The White House [read 'Roosevelt'] opposed a resolution to create the War Refugee Board and delayed its establishment for fourteen months.

Orders to bomb railroad tracks leading to the extermination camps were never given, although Nazi facilities merely five miles away were destroyed. And special American missions were launched to rescue art treasures – and performing Lipizzaner horses."
[But not Jews.]

Betrayal: FDR and the Jews




a."However, it can be argued that because of his very outspoken and domineering mother who clearly possessed a strong streak of anti-Semitism, FDR couldn't help his underlying prejudice regarding Jews. As described in an entry of January 27, 1942, Henry Morganthau Diaries, "Roosevelt proclaimed to a shocked Crowley (Catholic Economist and wartime Alien Property Custodian): Leo, you know this is a Protestant country, and the Catholics and the Jews are here on sufferance. This comment exemplifies FDR's upbringing among America's Protestant elite and how it most likely perpetuated a belief system that explains his aloofness from the crimes that were committed against Jews during the Holocaust." https://www.mtholyoke.edu/~simon20r/SS St. Louis/roosevelt.html


" Why did the administration actively seek to discourage and disqualify Jewish refugees from coming to the United States? Why didn't the president quietly tell his State Department (which administered the immigration system) to fill the quotas for Germany and Axis-occupied countries to the legal limit? That alone could have saved 190,000 lives. It would not have required a fight with Congress or the anti-immigration forces; it would have involved minimal political risk to the president."FDR's troubling view of Jews

[The Spirit of St. Louis was built in San Diego by Ryan Airlines, and while the name "Lindbergh Field" isn't official, it has stuck as a colloquial moniker. There have been some attempts to disassociate that name from the airport on the grounds that Lindbergh's antisemitism made him a terrible choice for the hero worship that naming the airport after him implies, especially because Lindbergh himself was the target of a virtual boycott after he opposed entering World War II and made disparaging remarks about Jews (even President Franklin Roosevelt claimed he could tell Lindbergh was a Nazi). How much does it cost to mail a standard size postcard within the U.S.?]







Interesting questions that an inquiring mind would have no trouble answering when considering Roosevelt's attitude toward other minorities....


"This attitude dovetails with what is known about FDR's views regarding immigrants in general and Asian immigrants in particular.... He recommended that future immigration should be limited to those who had "blood of the right sort." "
Op. Cit.



Bet government school doesn't teach these facts, does it.
 
Gays have always been in the military


Not openly homosexual. If you look at examine the photographs and motion pictures of the Normandy invasion or Iwo Jima, you will notice that none of the Americans are wearing ladies' clothing.

Perhaps you remember the tremendous docudrama on TV in the 1960's, Gomer Pyle USMC.

Pyle was as queer as a $3 bill, but he didn't brag about it to Sergeant Carter. Pyle realized it would be bad for morale to dress in drag.
 
So you're saying FDR was a Republican?


Many of us know that FDR was a total bigot.....

He hated Jews, blacks and Asians....

Damn

Sounds just like Trump who wanted to limit immigration from “Shithole Countries”

We ARE the most powerful on earth.
