Franklin Roosevelts views of Nazi Germany 1933 through 1938

[Robert W]

Because half the party were southern Democrats who embraced Jim Crow.
Why were Republicans unwilling to pass Civil Rights legislation?

Well, apparently location tells you something. Where in the north did Democrats work for civil rights in the 30s and 40s?

 

[AZrailwhale]

QUACK QUACK. Duck until you finally respond.

What power did they have to do that? Until FDR shredded the Constitutional limits of the presidency, presidents lacked the power to dictate to the states. Be specific.

 

[Robert W]

Wrong, France and the UK lacked the power to block German rearmament. Saying that, both underestimated the danger of both Nazi Germany AND the USSR to civilization.

Well if they lacked the power, the other things you mention do not matter at all.

 

[Robert W]

Until FDR shredded the Constitutional limits of the presidency,

Bingo. We are on the same page.

 

[Robert W]

The author has been debunked as a kook.

How silly. The author truly researched history. Awetoe, you say amusing things.

If France and the UK had recognized the danger, they could have taken steps to minimize it. Instead, they concentrated on their internal problems and the results of the Great Depression. France never took effective steps to rearm before Poland was invaded allowing defense companies to dither and depending on arms and aircraft purchased from the USA instead, most of which either never arrived before the fall of France or too late to be integrated into France's defenses.

I have detailed why the world did not see a danger from Hitler. To sum it up, Hitler did a hell of a lot of good for his country. So other nations assumed he was a decent person. When a leader pours the coal to getting factories working, building massive projects, including the Autobahn, no wonder they are easily fooled.

Hitler built the country for war and revenge. It caused Germany to be destroyed and left national stain on its people.

FDR could not advocate for civil rights, ...

That racist scumbag had no interest in doing so.

Hilarious

Yes he did, but he was a product of his times
He had to work within the existing political structure

His wife, Eleanor did not

Utter bullshit. Evidence proves otherwise.

Can you show any significant political group that was pushing Civil Rights or the rights of Japanese Americans?
Wasn’t the Republicans

Where did the rest of the Republican Party stand on Japanese internment?

That is interesting Awetoe/

That is such a new idea let's see if it has any merit.

What was Germany like Awetoe before Hitler took over?

Were the people all employed? What was the state of the German economy?
Was Germany being improved?
The view by the Germans Awetoe is they got jobs. They got incomes. They got a lot of free stuff proposed by the Germans socialist government.

Forward from 1933 to 1938 and what did Hitler do? Do you understand why to him he went to war? Not to you or me, but to Hitler?
I will take a chance on explain it from his and the Germans view!!!!

Germany would be a giant country if he could round up nations to be like well, the USA.

Remember some of the USA was formed by conquest by a man who then revolted against his own government. Washington just to name him. Washington did what Democrats accuse Republicans of doing in the East, massing arms and making war on England.

Then the USA purchased huge miles of land from France. Sort of reminds me of Trump wanting Greenland.
Wait, it gets better. Then along comes our president who grabbed land from Mexico. Swell president huh?

Best was Seward who told Russia to sell us Alaska! Man oh man.

What about the sandwich islands taken from the natives? We converted that to a State when we made Alaska a state.

So how did we differ from Hitler?

FDR has been criticized for this. His being a Democrat has not gotten him off the hook. Even people who admire Roosevelt immensely admit that this decision was a mistake.
(Likewise, you can find evidence that neither Washington, Lincoln, nor Jefferson were absolutely perfect.)
The Japanese internment is seen today as having been racist, and I think rightly so…
But at the time, Pearl Harbor had just been bombed and thousands of American lives had been lost in a single attack. The country was panicking. Consider that it was just like 9/11, only worse, because now we were at war and there was every reason to think that more attacks could come… and it was only a matter of time, perhaps, until there was an assault on the West Coast.

Notice that is not my view at all. it is the view of a person called Brian. I believe this. FDR was a lifetime racist. And when a person had slant eyes, they automatically per FDR were guilty.
