...
We won WWII because of the excellent leadership of FDR.......
Bullshit. We won despite that scumbag.
Your personal revisionist history?
Can't stand the truth??
Yup. Some Sloppy Joe on a messageboard thinks he knows history.
Playing the apologist for the worst scumbag ever to soil the Oval Office is worse than ignorant.
No one but you and some asians [sic] see it this way.
Wrong again.
The history you talk about when you discuss FDR is buried deep down in his story.
Roosevelt was viewed as a hero by many African Americans, Catholics, and Jews, and he was highly successful in attracting large majorities of these voters into his New Deal coalition.
[331] He won strong support from Chinese Americans and Filipino Americans, but not Japanese Americans, as he presided over their
internment in concentration camps during the war.
The attack on Pearl Harbor raised concerns in the public regarding the possibility of sabotage by
Japanese Americans. This suspicion was fed by long-standing racism against Japanese immigrants, as well as the findings of the
Roberts Commission, which concluded that the attack on Pearl Harbor had been assisted by Japanese spies. On February 19, 1942, President Roosevelt signed
Executive Order 9066, which relocated hundreds of thousands of the Japanese-American citizens and immigrants. They were forced to liquidate their properties and businesses and
interned in hastily built camps in interior, harsh locations. Distracted by other issues, Roosevelt had delegated the decision for internment to Secretary of War Stimson, who in turn relied on the judgment of Assistant Secretary of War
John J. McCloy. The Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the executive order in the 1944 case of
Korematsu v. United States.
[337] Many
German and
Italian citizens were also arrested or placed into internment camps.
