Internment Camps in WW ll

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Part of the rationale for the internment camps was for their own protection...What if Franklin Roosevelt , who was a beloved and revered figure, said the Japanese were our guests here and the Japanese Americans who were born here should enjoy the same rights of citizenship as everybody else...

He could have set a different tone...

When I was watching Ken Burns' documentary on WW ll I was so moved by Daniel Inouye's accounts of the war; especially when he recalled his all Japanese American battalion's reaction to the passing of Franklin Roosevelt... They , unsolicited, started attacking their enemies, and said they were doing it for the "old man"...

Roosevelt might not have been a demigod but he doesn't strike me as racist...
