    same-as-it-ever-was

    In December 1942, a year after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor and several months after Japanese-Americans living on the West Coast were subsequently “relocated” inland to U.S. detention camps, 48% of Americans believed the detainees should not be allowed to return to the Pacific coast after the war. Just 35% of Americans said they should be allowed to go back.

    This country has always been evil

      FDR was by far the best President in the history of the United States, and it’s not even close, but even he had concentration camps. The United States was always evil.

        FDR also compromised on the New Deal, excluding African Americans from many new deal programs that would have helped, and also his administration made segregation country-wide via the Federal Housing Administration and their red-lining policies (see the book The Color of Law)

          Not In My Neighborhood is also an excellent book about the history of redlining.

            What we needed was a John Brown presidency but apparently it’s illegal to be that based.
