He held similar racist views as the majority of America in 1942. In many ways he was more open than the rest of society.
There were very few Americans who did not want the Japanese locked up. No, he did not “know” the Japanese were no threat. Nobody in 1942 “knew” they were no threat
The consensus was better safe than sorry

It won't be long until we discover the American people were forced to vote for FDR four times. The people must have hated FDR's guts for forcing them to do that. But then we discover the Historians were forced to vote FDR as America's greatest president, even after FDR bombed Pearl Harbor. Where, oh where, does it end? Of course if the Americans hadn't voted for FDR four times we now know they too would be put in the concentration camps along with the Japanese.

No matter who was president.......the Japanese were going to the camps

Racist democrat speculation.

Racists always assume everyone else is racist too.

You are becoming a broken record

Japanese went to internment camps, it shouldn’t have happened but that was the way things were

No matter who was president, Democrat or Republican........the Japanese were going to the camps

"Dear Earl": the Fair Play Committee, Earl Warren, and Japanese internment. - Free Online Library



"Dear Earl:

I presume upon my friendship with you to write you regarding a matter over which I am much concerned. I am convinced that we must deal fairly with the loyal Americans of Japanese ancestry who have been evacuated from our state. (1)

This is how Alfred J. Lundberg began his letter to his friend Earl Warren on July 13, 1943. Warren was the new governor of California, having taken office earlier that year after a term as state attorney general. Lundberg was the chief executive of the Key System, the East Bay's major private rail, bus, and ferry mass transit company. He had twice served as president of the State Chamber of Commerce and four times as leader of the chamber's Oakland branch. He was a trustee of Berkeley's Pacific School of Religion and board member of the East Bay chapter of the Conference of Christians and Jews. In 1943, it would have been hard to find a more representative member of Oakland's establishment than Al Lundberg. (2) "

Americans of good conscience and firm morality understood right and wrong even in the ancient, ancient days of the 1940s.

"AN INDEPENDENT COMMITTEE OF INFLUENTIAL INDIVIDUALS"

"The Fair Play Committee was established in the fall of 1941, three months before the attack on Pearl Harbor. In May of that year, David Prescott Barrows, chairman of the University of California's Political Science Department and former university president, became concerned about rising anti-Japanese sentiment in California. He discussed the matter with Galen Fisher, a faculty member at the Pacific School of Religion and a political science research associate at the university. A liberal Protestant, Fisher had served twenty-one years in Japan as secretary of the International Committee of the YMCA.

Subsequently, he had carried out a survey of race relations on the Pacific Coast for the Rockefeller Institute of Social and Religious Research. Although Fisher was in his late sixties in 1941, he agreed to take on the task of organizing what he and Barrows envisioned as "an independent committee of influential individuals" to advocate for the protection of the civil rights and liberties of Californians of Japanese descent. In September 1941, he announced the establishment of the Northern California Committee on Fair Play for Citizens and Aliens of Japanese Ancestry. (5) "

In 2016 59% of Japanese-Americans voted Democratic and 21% voted Republican, why is that?

FDR has plenty of defenses, the people that were alive at the time, and voted for FDR four times, and the historians in reviewing the period that rated FDR the greatest.. So both people and historians rated him the best. So who else is there? Are the people wrong or the historians?

FDR has plenty of defenses....

You've never presented any.

 

[Unkotare]

... the people that were alive at the time, and voted for FDR four times....

So, in your mind Putin and fdr are equally "great"?

It won't be long until we discover the American people were forced to vote for FDR four times. The people must have hated FDR's guts for forcing them to do that. But then we discover the Historians were forced to vote FDR as America's greatest president, even after FDR bombed Pearl Harbor. Where, oh where, does it end? Of course if the Americans hadn't voted for FDR four times we now know they too would be put in the concentration camps along with the Japanese.

No matter who was president.......the Japanese were going to the camps

Racist democrat speculation.

Racists always assume everyone else is racist too.

You are becoming a broken record

Japanese went to internment camps, it shouldn’t have happened but that was the way things were

No matter who was president, Democrat or Republican........the Japanese were going to the camps

June 1944

Where were they in 1942

 

[rightwinger]

Evidently not

I have provided ample proof. You have just continued to insist everyone is as racist as you are.

"[T]he sooner we get the young [native-born] Japanese out of the camps the better."

- Eleanor Roosevelt, 1943

 

[Markle]

Hence the revisionist history

Regardless of who won the 1940 election, The Japanese would have been interred .......that was 1942 post Pearl Harbor hysteria

Might you show us your reliable source and link for that declaration?

 

[Markle]

Those social promises have been kept for 80 years
No reason they won’t continue to be paid

As you know, there is a perfectly good reason they won't continue to be paid. M-O-N-E-Y.

 

[Markle]

Ummm.....yea

Social Security is good
We have FDR to thank

As you know, we'd have been fine if the retirement age had been tied to our longevity expectation.

Well so far Trump has not called history, "fake history". Probably because Trump does not read history.
