Reply #35: Yes - that's ALL you were doing. Right.

Be honest - you weren't just "truth telling." Truth telling is "theses things happened, they were inhuman." If you'd stopped there, you wouldn't have revealed any bigotry. But you didn't stop there.

You could have drawn parallels to show that this is what governments do in general, you could have drawn parallels to show that we do similar things, that our entire country was built on similar slave labor.

You could have acknowledged how reluctant ALL governments are to apologize for anything. You could have acknowledged that it took the US until 2008 to apologize for slavery.

But no, instead you chose to take it in a different direction - to use it to justify genocide of the Japanese, because that's the "kind of people" the Japanese were. See, it's not "human nature" - it's the Japanese nature, so it was okay to wipe them out, according to your logic.


Meanwhile, we're still holding people who haven't been found guilty of anything in Guantanamo. I suggest you focus your anger on that.
