George Takei: This place matters




George Takei: During my childhood, my family and I were interned in Rohwer prison camp in the swamps of southeast Arkansas because we looked like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor. My friends at Arkansas State Univ. are working hard to make sure history is not forgotten. They just launched a wonderful website on Rohwer; I'm honored to provide an audio intro. Check it out here: http://rohwer.astate.edu/

2. Important to remember that this happened in the United States.

We should not forget it, ever.

We should never let it happen again.

Here, DUmmy, let me help you with that:

Obviously the place matters.  Somebody built a statue of a giant phallus with a bird perched on the tip.  Can't matter much more than that.

Not just any democrat, but THE DEMOCRAT GOD, FDR

What's the over/under on some DUmmy blaming the internment camp on conservatives in Arkansas?

"Look at what those horrible inbred hillbilly yokels did.  The south is such a terrible place."

     Nah: "I read that Prescott Bush marched the entire Roosevelt family into the White House and assured FDR that his signature or their brains would be on the internment order."

Playinghardball forgets that issei (immigrants), nisei (second generation), and sansei (third generation) Japanese were involved in espionage in Pearl Harbor, and especially at the Boeing aircraft plant in Washington state where many worked.

Dummies are so short on history.

FDR, just another democrat racist.

The democrat party is the party of racism and slavery. It was in the 1700s.  It was in the 1800s. It was in the 1900s. it is in the 2000s.

A point routinely & conveniently ignored at the DUmp...or to quote one of your favorites, an inconvenient truth:

Question. Do you feel that the internment of Japanese who were American citizens was the right thing or wrong thing to do?

Now a days they are selective in racism.  All depends on political ideology.

KKK, Jim Crow, internment of citizens.  Why are Democrats so racist?

Surprised it hasn't happened yet...

Given the context of the times, it was the easy thing to do.

Logistically.

I'm torn on this issue, FlaGator.  I wrote a defense of internment for a history class in college, but it was more of a devil's advocate type thing.

I recall asking my grandparents about the era, and they firmly believed it was the right thing to do.  And my Grandmother was certainly an FDR democrat too.

In 1988, Congress passed and President Ronald Reagan signed legislation that apologized for the internment on behalf of the U.S. government. The legislation said that government actions were based on "race prejudice, war hysteria, and a failure of political leadership".[12] The U.S. government eventually disbursed more than $1.6 billion in reparations to Japanese Americans who had been interned and their heirs.[13]

It's hard judging something that happened after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, compared to how we think today.  We had already been involved in one world war, went through a terrible depression and into another world war. Communism was a real threat. 

From what little I just read about the Japanese here in the west, most were considered to be loyal Americans, but there were some that were still loyal to Japan and also followed a Communist Union leader that worked out of San Francisco, a Harry Bridges.  It was estimated that there were approx. 50 Japanese from each district that could become a problem.

     Here's a fun fact for forceful insertion into DUmmy anuses: the President who signed the law paying interned Japanese Americans was named REAGAN.

     And another fact to accompany that one in DUmmy asses: the President who made sure there were funds to pay all claimants was named BUSH.


     Let's allow that to sink in for a moment: a LIBERAL DEMOCRAT tossed them in camps.

     CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS compensated them for the injustice.

     Suck a wet turd, DUmmies.

A liberal icon imprisoned Japanese citizens for an attack on US soil.  A republican president didn't respond that way to an attack on US soil and took the war to the Muslims in other countries.

[GOBUCKS]

Had there been no internment, many ethnic Japanese on the West Coast would have been killed and their property burned, and no one would have been successfully prosecuted.

You have to understand the psychology of the times. Right or wrong, that's what it was.

At which point I'll burn a mole and remind them how many were in the socialist paradise of California.
