Quote:You just excused the internment camps and said all things consider it wasn't that bad because we treated AMERICAN CITIZENS better than the Japanese treated POW's and Nazi's treated Jews.

 

 

So I guess you would advocate taking all Muslims looking Americans and putting them in internment camps today, don't discount the times that we live in now.

 

I didn't excuse anything, I said those were the things going on in the world at the time. By comparison the USA's caution with a small and easily recognizable immigrant group was mild.

 

Not that it's good to intern citizens, but even today thanks to Nixon's war on drugs we practically have disenfranchised an entire sex/race combination in black males. I'd say that what has been done to black men in modern America is much worse than what was done to the Japanese Americans in world war 2. At least when we were done with that exercise they went back to their lives and eventually found national acceptance as a racial group. Something black men still haven't found here.
