Darn this is a sore spot in my life. Men, some are so dense what ever their education level is.
My EX had been raised in Walnut Creek CA, on a cross country trip he asked me what I wanted to see out there. I told him I wanted to see the camps for the 5-6 generation American Asians that had lost everything as long time American citizens due to their race.
He told me I was flat out crazy, cannot happen and never had. When we got to his parents home, I asked them about the camps and without a blink they told me right up the road.
Here we had a well educated man, a Chief on a Bomber, one of the smartest in the military, yet he could not believe the camps ever took place in the America he knew.
No he said to me until his own parents told yes to my claims. Right up the road from where he was raised and at no time in school or college ever mentioned.
So when way back then when I asked him how to repay our citizens for the loss of homes, lands and businesses, he just shut down, some things are too much to think about.
We are America, these things can never happen, but they do and when the Government went to repay the Asians for their stolen property as American citizens and placed in camps to be shot if they tried to escape,,,, all the while after the war putting attention on in the German
camps as evil.
So our Government decided to repay the survivors or their living family's after 50 years the great sum of $25,000 for the loss of the their family's rights of Americans un to the 3-6 generations.
These American citizens are due more then chump change for building America, the Black, the Spanish, were not robed of their homes, taken in the dead of the night.
We were at war with the axis powers, few Germans and Italians were rounded up and put in camps. East coast all our Asians were safe, just the west coast the Asians that had money.
