FDR hated Japanese people.

While it says:

On June 13, 1944 the press reported that President Roosevelt had been presented with a letter-opener made out of a Japanese soldier's arm bone by Francis E. Walter, a Democratic congressman.[4] Several weeks later it was reported that it had been given back with the explanation that the President did not want this type of object and recommended it be buried instead. In doing so, Roosevelt was acting in response to the concerns which had been expressed by the military authorities and some of the civilian population, including church leaders.[4]

,

we need to keep in mind that FDR waited weeks to give it back, and likely only due to pressure on him. FDR never did what was right, he only said he was going to do what was popular.

Also, his imprisonment of the Americans of Japanese descent was certainly fascist, was it not? It was a form democratic fascism (far right populism), as it was popular among California farmers during the GD.

Finally, after reading the following quote from Truman, who was FDR's VP, it's hard to conclude that FDR wasn't a democratic fascist, and that while Adolph Hitler may have done more short term damage than one of the most authoritarian American Presidents, he was not any more to the far-right of FDR as Hitler had just as much of a leftist side.

"The only language they seem to understand is the one we have been using to bombard them. When you have to deal with a beast you have to treat him like a beast. It is most regrettable but nevertheless true"

If there is a hell, then I'm sure FDR is burning there for all eternity with his friends Joseph Stalin and Winston Churchill, his mentor, Woodrow Wilson, and his rival Adolph Hitler. Unlike the tyrant Lincoln, FDR was born into wealth and was not a self-made man and FDR could do what was popular, while at least Lincoln did what he thought was right. Unlike George Washington, who had civic Republican virtue and wanted what he thought was best for every individual (even though it wasn't), FDR had Democratic vices. FDR would do it if it was popular, no matter how wrong he knew it was.

If eugenics would've prevented Anarchist420's grandparents from reproducing then I'm all in favor of it.

When are you going to get it through your head no one takes you seriously?

Is your doctor's appointment today? Better get those meds adjusted. Your post is so wildly off base with it's conclusions it can't even be addressed. It's like concluding Obama was born in Kenya because it's raining today.

Even people who are critical of Wilson, Churchill, or FDR would cringe at the angst-filled, teenage-drama-ridden crap you spew out on a daily basis.

Since basically every thread this idiot makes is a retarded and shitty attempt at trolling, can we at least get a suspension or something on him?

 

[CycloWizard]

Nothing in your post is remotely related to eugenics.

Troll thread is troll.

do you ever know the definition of eugenics?

In my occasional forays into his threads, I've noticed that he seems to take all the things he thinks are bad (like Churchill, Stalin and FDR, or the New Deal and Fascism, for example) and immediate associate them. That is, he thinks eugenics is bad, and also that FDR is bad. Thus, he finds a bits of circumstantial evidence that FDR hated the Japanese (the quote isn't even from him) and immediately connects that to eugenics.

Although even Wikipedia pales in comparison to Conservapedia.

This question reminds me of "How would the course of World War II have differed if Eleanor Roosevelt had had the power to fly?" Is this an ode to Python?

Hey - it IS raining today! Damned Manchurian candidate!

Kennedy hated blacks.

 

[Schadenfroh]

This might come as a surprise to you, but many folks back in the 40s did not like minorities.

 

[Perknose]

Kennedy hated blacks.

And Sen. Daniel Inouye obviously hated the Japanese, as he fought against their side in WWII!

Do you know the definition of eugenics?

Eugenicists believe in evolution, and generally believe in population control/reduction, and destroying and/or sterilizing the people they believe to be subhuman.

It's evident from his actions that FDR did believe that the Japanese were subhuman as did many Americans at that time.

First of all, the outstanding evidence is that he used the troops stationed at Pearl Harbor as an excuse to attack the Japanese. Then he imprisoned all people of Japanese descent living in CA on his own basis that they were a national security threat, when it was FDR who was the national security threat.

Truman was FDR's hand-chosen successor and Truman was to gain nothing militarily or economically by bombing innocent ~300k Japanese CIVILIANS. Due to the fact that there was no military victory be gained by doing so, that it didn't save American lives, and that the average American didn't profit from it, logical people would conclude that he did it because he hated Japanese people.

I don't get how it can be so hard for people calling me a retard, no less, to believe that FDR's political philosophy was largely based upon fascism when there is a ton of evidence that is a dead give away.

I have no idea where this came from but it sure fits

No, I was aware of that. The ultrapopular Immigration Act of 1924 was based upon eugenics and racism. Most of my ancestors were pretty racist. My grandmother's younger brother who was drafted as a repairman in the Pacific during WWII would never believe that the Japanese weren't at fault and he only buys American cars, largely because FDR tricked him into believe that the Japanese were responsible for the war. My mother's parents were pretty racist. My dad used to support forced segregation when he was growing up and so did most of the people he grew up with. He also used to call Japanese people "Japs".

President Washington hated the Cherokee Indians.

Been taking notes from Glen Beck on how to connect random information to fit the rant of the day?

There is a word for the young and supposedly educated that think they've figured it all out - sophmoric.

 

[Anarchist420]

Kennedy hated blacks.

Yeah, I know. His support was for the Civil Rights movement only came about when it became popular, he ordered the wiretapping of MLK's phone, and he voted against the Voting Rights Acts of 1957 and 1960.

LBJ probably hated blacks too.

 

[Anarchist420]

President Washington hated the Cherokee Indians.

Of course he did.

What's wrong with FDR hating the Japanese?

I'm sure LOTS of people during and after WWII hated the Japanese.

I'm still not particularly fond of them...

I celebrate Enola Gay Day every August 6th.
