Japanese Internment during WW II
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- After America was attacked by Japan at Pearl Harbor, President Franklin Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066 consigning 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry to internment camps. Fred Korematsu challenged the internment all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. In "Korematsu v. United States" (1944), the Court sided with the government.
In 1988, Congress passed and President Ronald Reagan signed legislation which apologized for the internment on behalf of the U.S. government. The legislation said that government actions were based on "race prejudice, war hysteria, and a failure of political leadership". The U.S. government eventually disbursed more than $1.6 billion in reparations to Japanese Americans.
The lesson here is that the constitution can be overridden and we all can be rounded up. This won't be the last time.

@Cameron Krolik Waco?
Yeah look at jan 6. It almost happened in a very explicit way
One reason why attention must be paid to who we're appointing to the courts at every level, and what sort of backstops are available in the judicial system to beat back precedents that were wrongly decided. Korematsu and his attorneys found one - Coram Nobis - and we should all be grateful he kept at it until he won it.
@@andrewperkovich8184 that shit wasn’t going anywhere stfu 😂
I understand that we were at war, but there are rules even in war. These were loyal American citizens. They were horrified at what Japan did at Pearl Harbor; and they were ashamed at the nature of the sneak attack.
I'm glad they received $20,000 each later on. At least they received *some* compensation. But I think it should have been more. What the government did during this time was abominable, wrong, and a crime according to the Constitution. I don't care what any Supreme Court says. I know what is right, and this was just plain *WRONG*.
So what if other countries were doing the same or worse? If we adopt the ways of the enemy, we become as bad as the enemy. I am and always have been absolutely outraged at the way these people were treated.
According to my grandmother, some refused the money out of the idea that it would be like accepting an inadequate apology. It was a shameful time for the US.
I feel like it was very wrong indeed. However, my grandparents, despite being judged simply because of their race, don't hate America for what it did. They simply put the past behind them and moved on.
Kristi Horita The japanese are experts at inadequate apologies.
alvin york So that gives us the right to do the same? These people should have been given no less than $500,000 USD each for compensation of having their civil rights violated. But I guess back then we could punish people for the sins of the father. Fucking hypocrites!!!!!!!!!
To the commenter who's post was marked as spam, I tried to remove the spam flag but was unable to. That comment said, "But you believe Islam is a religion of peace."
From what I read, (in their own Koran) these terrorists are radical Islam. Islam itself doesn't propound violence except in self defense. "Kill the infedel if he is coming to harm you. Else let him be." People read "Kill the infedel" in a vacuum and thereby twist the meaning. Christians do the same thing. They read "Repent and be baptized" and take *that* in a vacuum. You have to read the whole passage and one or two preceding and one or two following passages to get the true meaning.
My great aunt and her family were interred during WWII. They lost everything. Yet as a child I never heard her once say anything bitter about the country she chose to live in after marrying a nisei. Truly a shameful chapter in US history, and kudos to my aunt for staying strong and positive until her death.
God bless her
I am a Sansei. My family had similar feelings to their internment as did your great aunt. Their love for the United States was very strong.
contract that experience with all the families that lost sons brothers fathers to the draft and death...your family was very fortunate to be protected from the draft
"Land of the free" 🤦🏻♂️
Never has never will be! When will everyone wake up!
@@sixsixer6125 people complaining about their country make me laugh. If you don’t want to be here get out brotha. But nope. You still want your iced caramel latte.
I mean slavery still exists and is allowed in many countries. Clearly the USA isn't perfect but we have paved the way for equality from our beginning. The events in this video were horrific violations of Constitutional rights and We the People must ensure this never happens agian.
Exactly we did the same shit as the nazis did just without the mass killings wow I seen a doc a long time ago on pbs when I was in my early 30’s and it’s super sad
@@mikejones4526without mass killings… ever heard of the Native Americans and how we took all of their land and killed millions of them?
It is amazing that Americans still manage to sing "land of the free" with a straight face.
Jon Anderson I agree with you - I also get a bad feeling when I hear "...for the land of the free..."
When the government tells you from birth that you´re living in the greatest country with most freedom of all and this is repeated through you life, then, of course you start believing it. The US government is among the biggest in the world and American citizens are under constant surveillance. But, as long as you don´t cause any trouble and stay in line, you pretty much left alone.
Irwin Steel But, what I find really disturbing is that while Europe fought the nazi´s, the US government was actually building these camps for internment of their own countrymen. They were forced out of their neighborhoods and everything they owned was taken away. It is absolutely disgusting. I understand why American citizens are hoarding guns and ammo.
Also, do the American children learn about this in schools today, or is this hidden from their history books?
+Jon Anderson It's not per say hidden, but it's never really mentioned. The Trail of tears is taught, the exaggerated Eisenhower death camps are mentioned. It's more so forgotten about. The East coast Japanese Americans typically lived normal lives.
Jon Anderson + and felt unfair when OJ was acquitted.
This was done by a Democrat. Educate yourself.
People who do not look at history will certainly repeat it. This was one of the darkest and embarrassed moments of our history.
Japan certainly did not heed lessons of history. Darkest embarrassing moment? Hardly. This decision was only logical and a natural course of action/reaction from provocation of war.
But why the civilians that were living on the US since they had nothing to do with the war, they weren't directly in the war, they were living.
+Kongo-Dess
Because Japan, Russia and Germany were known to employ covert tactic. "They had nothing to do with the war"was merely a false/pseudo claim/compassion aimed at public with little to no historical clue.
@Mike Collins That was the same day if the Pearl Harbor attack, do you know about any events that happened after this? No, right?
@@dasteufelhund But many of them were American BORN, and some others were 2nd generation...
These were AMERICANS. American citizens. They did it once and they could do it again. Don't underestimate the system.
This is an excerpt of a longer video. Can anyone identify the original source? I'd like to find the whole thing.

Korematsu and Civil Liberties
11,000 germans and 2,000 Italians were put in camps as well. Not saying any of it is right or just... just doing a fact check. They were of course much more harsh on the Japanese... but to say they didn't do it to Germans and Italians is a bit misleading...
Fear and ignorance is the fuel of racism. We are all people. We all can care for one another no matter our race.
Why weren't German Americans and Italians treated like this,
to a degree it was racism, believing the entire Japanese race were untrustworthy and sneaky, where as the Americans believed the Germans and Italians simply were conned by their leaders not as a racial thing
Because Germans and Italians DID NOT attack Pearl Harbour. But do not talk bad about Americans who held the Japanese in camps. 26,000 US-Japanese men entered the US-army. Talk bad about the Japanese who held American-POWs in camps, they were starved, beaten and shot dead.....
Trisha Love In the beginning the president intended to have Germans, Italians, and Japanese peoples living by military zones to be affected by this. It was when he put it in the hands of leaders of the military that it was aimed exclusively at Japanese peoples. The internment was unfortunate, but with this action it made it even worse. This documentary isnt complete with the details and neither is my explanation, but there is a 11 part interview of a japanese american woman who was 18 when she entered the camps. Its not only extremely educational but also insightful. I'd highly suggest it! (:
Dutch Master Technically some were interned due to the order being aimed towards axis powers and not just the Japanese peoples :)
Madison McNulty what's the name?
Remember, folks this a democratic PRESIDENT who did this.
+swoosh50 and?
+cMckone93 Democrats are fucking hypocrites
This was 70 years ago, the beliefs of everyone at that time were heavily Democratic and racist. Democratic beliefs may have changed after the 1960s, and after this. I know people who were put into these camps when they were children, they've told me that they're afraid that the same thing might happen to other people of different ethnicities if Trump becomes president. Frankly, I don't think it will but history repeats, people are scared, and when they are scared they look for someone to blame.
+Jordan G (jdogjcat) No that have not changed. Believe me
I am not defending what FDR did, but judging people's beliefs based on what their ancestors believed is not fair to members of the modern democratic party. The stances of a party can change over time. For example, during the time of the civil war, Abraham Lincoln and the rest of the republican party were VERY liberal, whereas they are now conservative today. Besides, blaming modern democrats for this is irrational, as what Trump wants to do with Islamic peoples and denying Judge Gonzales the supreme court seat because he is Mexican is much closer to what FDR did in the past than what either democratic potential nominee wants to do today.
It's so beyond tragic that a man who was otherwise, quite possibly, the greatest president of the last century, stooped this low. Whenever I think about this, it makes me feel a profound sense of shame as an American. Don't bother trying to tell this to the people who think any mention of this country's shameful history with regards to race amounts to "critical race theory", and therefore *must* be deemed VERBOTEN! in schools.
He also tried to pack the court in 1938 and thereby sunder the separation of powers and checks and balances, did not initially support anti-lynching legislation even though his wife pushed him to, and did virtually nothing to stop the Holocaust even though it was known what was going on in the camps. Great he wasn't.
I grew up in New Mexico during the 60s and 70s but wasn't taught anything about these camps in school. I learned about them from two Japanese American classmates. Both of their parents were taken to these camps but neither set of their parents held any ill will after they were released. I found that remarkable.
I didn't even hear abozt this, until I read Marvels Civil War this year. How is this so rarely talked about?
+akawhut because liberals love their FDR
+akawhut how old are you?
+akawhut No one wants to say they fucked up.
Because socialists/democrats love prison camps
I learned about it in both middle and high school

When the 50's-60's came. People were fearful of the "communists" and accused others of being communists.
In this day and age, "communist" has been replaced with "Islamist", "terrorist", "fundamentalist", "radical" etc.
We have fallen for the same traps again and again and we will do so again especially with the muslims.
They don't teach this shit at school.
yes they do wtf
not when i was there
Biddybalboa you went to a shit school. I learned about this in 8th and then again in 11th grade, and then again in college.
I probably did but there is a lot of the worlds history American curriculum doesn't cover it focuses mostly on its own.
Biddybalboa But this happened _in America,_ so I don't understand that point.
"German-Americans and Italian-Americans was never interned."
Umm over 17,000 Americans of German AND Italian decent were "relocated"
While the person you corrected IS incorrect as well. You should look into your facts before you start shouting "racist" at people.
Zephlos Kal'Shanor that’s all people do these days, most don’t even realize that Japan did do Pearl Harbor
I do agree with you...
However I do not agree that should have relocated the Japanese Americans. In my opinion they should have kept them at there homes because a lot of them were not making threats they were just trying to live there daily lives in piece.
Hope you understand my side of the disagreement. 🙃
In Los Angeles. Japanese Americans lived in San Pedro and Palos Verdes literally overlooking the Long Beach Naval Base. This was deemed too dangerous. Also the US basically stole Japanese from Central and Sound America
I'm not even Japanese, but this makes me very angry.
FDR "guided the country through the Great Depression"... or enacted policies that grossly prolonged it?
I have visited these camps...ua-cam.com/video/BQtPIbRUAmE/v-deo.html
This might be happening to any group of people in the USA today. This video gives me chills. I am upset for the people who had to go through this. It scares me how the the president and the supreme court can be above the law and abuse their power during time of war. This case reminds me of the NSA surveilance which Snowden revealed that it acted above the constitution.
Had an awesome interview with this exceptional survivor of the INTERNMENT CAMPS: ua-cam.com/video/wWAlfdyjahM/v-deo.html
I wish people actually knew more about this period of our history. How do you prove a negative? You see there were Japanese that were absolutely without a doubt disloyal. Not anything like the majority of Japanese living in this country were disloyal, but there were some. In fact the most disloyal were placed in Tule Lake interment camp. Nevertheless, some disloyal Japanese in internment camps persecuted other Japanese for not being loyal to Japan. An EXTREMELY messy and difficult situation. I have several books full of decrypted communications from the west coast. There really were spies. I know you don't hear about these things in our tidied up history books, but they were there. Yes there were disloyal Japanese, Very few, but how many would it have taken to do tremendous damage. Then again, how would loyal Japanese be protected? War is a horrible, dreadful thing. I am a bit of a WWII historian, and I just can't believe the horror and brutality of what went on! Madness, absolute madness! As bad as the internment was, it can't hold a candle to what was going on in other places at that time!
Starting in 1942 the internees could leave the camps, but they could not move back into the Exclusion Zone. During the course of the war some 19,000 Japanese and Japanese American internees moved to Chicago. This fact is well documented but not well known.
I have visited these camps...ua-cam.com/video/BQtPIbRUAmE/v-deo.html
What was done to these American citizens, depriving them of due process, stripping them of their posessions and throwing them into camps is absolutely abhorrent. FDR is the most despicable president ever for this atrocious act.
Great video, seems to cut off at the end. Does anyone know the name of the full episode/documentary where this came from?
Korematsu and Civil Liberties
What is the excerpted from? Would like to see the whole documentary.
+Jude Mac it was eserptid from justin Bieber never say never full documentary/biography video on disc
I'm 50 years old and I only learned of this about a year ago while reading a book about Native American Concentration Camps....or.....Reservations. I went through the whole US school system so why don't I know of these things. Am I ignorant or was I made and kept ignorant by the system? IDK.... Mr. Korematsu said..... ' this is not just for Japanese-American citizens, but for all American citizens". He didn't say "some" or "most". He said "ALL" ! Nobody is immune.
Patricia Williams Dear Patrica, The reason you have heard so little about theinternment is that the vast majority of thoes interned were children and these children are the American citizens you hear about. They got birthright citizenship only because they were born here. Most of the adults were aliens, citizens of Japan. When Japan declared war on the US they became enemy aliens , and enemy aliens were interned by all countries at war. Also the numbers of adults were small when one considers that we drafted 16 million.
I was lucky my elementary school brought in a Japanese American speaker to talk about his childhood in one of the placement camps.
dang, where do you live, California? The liberal school teachers tend to only teach there ideology. We learned about the trail of tears in boy scouts I'm 38.
You was probably skipping class
I learned this in school, maybe you should have paid attention
There is no point in american history which is so void of facts which promted the move of Japanese out of the military zones on the Westcoast. When I read the book "case for internment" it was so eye opening, it made me finally realize, there is an actual effort to tear down the country through the use of one sided history...... and it is all critical. Most people have no idea our Govt had wire taps in the Japanese embasy and they had absolute proof they had recruited many Japanese to undermine our ports and installation. We had tens of thousands of Japanese who were not citizens, tens of thousands of Japanese which belonged to extreme Japanese societies within the country which swore an oath to their God Emperor. When Pearl harbor was bombed, who guided the planes? Japanese, when planes went down, who aided the pilots to escape? Random Japanese on a neighboring Island. Much more complicated than we were taught.
This is why the second amendment is so important. Without it, all of your other right go out the window
picksixtodahouse is your name pixie sticks because thats a cool name if it is my eyesight is very poor rn but that would be super cool
All this shit, happening during Black history month bro.... White America really hate tf, out of anyone that didn't look like them...my condolences to the Japanese descendants that went through these atrocities for so long...a year in a half is a long ass time to experience this racist abuse as American born or not... To denounce their own, race for American comfort... Segregation was coming for everyone. I'm sorry but $20,000 is nowhere near enough for the things Japanese American citizens had to immediately sacrifice before their unfair captivity....
I don't like politics, but shit like this makes me wanna get in there just to tell people how stupid they were :
And some gullible people laugh when concerns are expressed about FEMA camps being set up for future events such as this...
lesatseaside CONSONTRAION camps yes
Another embarrassment is the lack of attention the 442nd RCT receives. Men volunteered from these camps to go fight in Europe to prove their loyalty. They became the most decorated combat unit (of its size) in US military history!
Dear Trump supporters. This is what you want to do to the Muslims. Why doesn't the media bring this up when talking about Trump supporters? People see the Jewish internment camp as "that will never happen here" but it did!
Trump won't and can't do that this day. That was during war time fuel by fear emotional element and racism it will never happen today!
Hillary would do it to everyone.
I'm voting Trump because bad bills can be vetoed, but a woman that has assassinated 33 people would assassinate anyone who would veto her bills.
Trump is the better choice.
Dear Confused (Add Derogatory):
I can only speak for myself if this were to happen, but I can promise that if I saw this happening to any group on a mass scale in our amazing country for any "supposed" reason, I'd be the first person you'd see on CNN with an "assault rifle" ready to defend you from a violation of your civil rights, compliments from the government, about fuck shit up for your freedom. There are at least 100 million other people that feel the same way.
Sincerely,

As long as that number stays at such a large amount, it is good insurance against a dictatorship.
People mention _'but they have bombs, yadda yadda'_, but they can't really imagine what 100 million people looks like, let alone 100 million including entire swaths of the military.
If that actually happened, my faith in this country would be fully restored and my mentality that people are 'stupid, gullible cattle' would stop entirely.
manictiger it's growing every year: record firearms sales under the Obama admin., the loosening of gun restrictions in the US as a whole (how many states have gone constitutional carry in the last 5 years? Missouri was within the last week), and people waking up to reality and choosing not to live in a bubble or because it's dangerous to everyone. but really there's nothing stopping you from buying a tank except maybe money and probably the fact of wtf are you going to securely store a tank? i don't think it might ever even get that far. don't forget, many veterans and service members currently serving the country wouldn't attack their own people; think about it, they have wives, husbands, children, friends, all of whom are civilians. however, it doesn't hurt to have insurance. something can happen but (random guess) half would defect or defy orders and half would stay and try to carry that something out. protect yourselves, and others, against all threats foreign and domestic. it's your right as not only an American, but as a living human being.
Maybe politicians can also survive in camps similar to their co-Americans. This time so far we are not at war.
has anyone found the full length video where this clip came from?
land of the free? BS
There were so many people in the United States who were of German descent, yet Japanese people seem to have been singled out because they were different from the majority of people in the United States. The treatment of Japanese people in Canada was even worse, where their property was seized and then sold at auction to pay the costs of running the Canadian internment camps.
Reagan was right to offer the Japanese Internment families remuneration. The Manzanar museum is so important in the way it documents and educates to help people understand the importance of actively maintaining our democracy and collectively standing up for people who are treated unjustly.
To the person that sent this claim, I respectfully disagree. Here is the claim they sent:
That is not true. There were thousands of traitors in those camps. Look at the cover photo on the book "WWII JAPANESE RELOCATION CAMPS & THE WRA: A PRUDENT, EMERGENCY, WAR-TIME MEASURE." There were nationalist Japanese groups in the camps who refused to renounce loyalty to the emperor, and had already stated that they would commit sabotage. Thousands of them requested repatriation back to Japan and some were sent back even during the war on the MS Gripsholm.?
I respectfully disagree because the exhibit at Manzanar helped me understand that the Japanese American Interns had been treated very unjustly by our government when our government stripped them of all their possessions and imprisoned them without any trial, without any due process. Your statement that "thousands refused to renounce loyalty to the Japanese Emperor" and "stated they would commit sabotage" is incorrect. The exhibit at Manzanar does a nice job of helping visitors understand the choices and documents presented to the interned Japanese prisoners. I can understand those prisoners' quandry and I seriously doubt that they presented any real risk to our country. Are you saying there were "thousands" of Japanese traitors and there were zero German traitors? Where are the equivalent internment camps for Germans in the United States? There are none to be found, because our government's internment of US Citizens who happened to be Japanese, the internment of Japanese was racist and the lack of camps for internment of Germans proves the internment was racist.

I'm writing a research paper over the Japanese Internment for my history class and am using this video as a source...Do you perhaps have or remember the name of the documentary...? Thank you!
The 130,000 Japanese living in Hawaii at the time were never interred, why ?

Childish Gambino?
i want to use this as a source for my paper but there is no citations, does anyone know what this video is called? i need the director and release date
Thank you Mike Shinoda for exposing this otherwise obscure blemish of American history for my eyes to see. I was born in 1985 and through all of my schooling I've never once heard a word about this sort of thing happening.
Absolutely embarrassing.
vjm3 I was born 1996, and I learned about this pretty thoroughly in school. Maybe they just added it recently in California.
I attended public schools in the 1970s and 1980s in a typical conservative suburb. I learned all about this, including an entire chapter in my "standard issue" 6th grade Social Studies textbook. Your claim is bizarre.
The "single-bullet theory" was proposed by the Warren Commission which was headed by a man who would have thought that it was logical to believe that a person without a police record would be more likely to commit a crime in the future than a person with a police record.
Concerning the incarceration of Japanese-Americans during World War II, according to the Wikipedia article on Earl Warren:
- Warren further argued that the complete lack of disloyal acts among Japanese Americans in California to date indicated that they intended to commit such acts in the future.
so what's the point with your info?
Although sad, this is kind of inevitable in war. Sure, they could have been treated better. Still, you have to remember that regardless of racism, having hundreds of thousands of people of Japanese descent free in your country, while you are at war with Japan, is a huge risk.
I see your point, but if that's the case Americans don't really have a right to due process but rather privileges that the government can do away with at anytime using war as an excuse. These were American citizens that the US government imprisoned without charging them with a crime or giving them a trial.
@Quinntus79 Did you not see the documentary? The Supreme Court Ruled in favor of the US. That in time of War, it is in the protection of citizens that they can discriminate in the way they did. It is racist, but idk if it has been changed
Ohio Girl yeah but the Germans didn't attack Pearl Harbor and invade the Aleutian Islands. Not that I agree with FDR, on really anything, and this was absolutely despicable, no one is defending racism here. Can we drop the race shit already?
Ohio Girl I'm not denying it! FDR was a democrat. Blame them.
We just weren't in direct war until the Japanese drew us in. Hell, we didn't even know as a society what was going on in Germany to the degree and severity of what was really taking place. We were ambushed by the Japanese. Huge difference. Again, as stated, I don't agree with FDR's decision. Was it racially driven, yes. For a good reason. . . .debatable. But don't call me dumb when you seem to support the same party and ideologies that allowed this to happen in the first place. Typically liberal. Call people names. I suppose you have ignorant, racist, misogynist, and xenophobic on deck too, huh?
I'll suggest a book: "The Gathering Storm."
Read it. It's and excellent account of history leading up to and during WW2. Good day to you.
Ohio Girl ha. The democratic party is no different today. If anything, it's worse than it was back then. And yes, racism is all in our heads.
This is aweful, and how could they keep this from us? I have never heard about it in middle school or high school. It's not until I went to college that I learned about MANY things that were unknown to us, and that is because I took classes on America history and ethnic studies...
What state are you in, it was in my school ciriculum (briefly, but it was there)
American HisStory and ethnic studies is based on masonic-authored-up, fraudulent documents as deception.

Pearl Harbor should’ve never happened! I guess you forgot about that!
I agree.
@@Aryan_Nation the Japanese citizens already living here had nothing to do with Pearl Harbor.
This film is excellent and so relevant today. Trump is using Japanese internment by FDR as justification for his war on Muslims. He does not get it.

Mark A. Absolute bullshit
OMG... wrong person! My sincere apologies to you; my comment wasn't directed to you, but to Mark Pontius.
The Japanese also had concentration camps. Of the 130,895 Western men, women and children held by the Japanese, 14,657 died. The prisoner of war camps were just as bad, with many having lower survival rates than the Nazi-run concentration camps.12,433 British personnel, 20,000 Filipinos, 8,500 Dutch, 7,412 Australians, and 12,935 US servicemen perished in captivity due to disease, starvation, work and abuse.
You are British (like me), you criticize the US yet Britain has done far worse.
nazi concentration camps had almost 100 percent fatality rate, dont fuck up the facts with your mumbo jumbo bullshit
I'm just watching this for my NHD project
Today we still have younger people who use the term "Jap" because they think its cool slang.
Yeah. I’m Japanese and my 2nd uncle was in the concentration camps and I have been called a “jap” and “chink” by people in school and have heard racist comment towards me since I was in elementary school and I’m a junior rn
I think people use it because people don't realize the true meaning of it, they think it's short for Japanese
What Japan did to the US was horrible but the humiliation and dehumanization of internment camps was shameful to these Japanese Americans and was a wrong thing for Roosevelt to do. What should have been done is force all Japanese men of military age into our fighting forces to help annihilate of their fellow countrymen who tried to wipe us out [some may have actually would have been glad to do it].
Japanese Americans DID volunteer to go into the military. Before the internment and after Pearl Harbor, the US Army wouldn't allow them to just walk in and sign up because of all of the hysteria and fear going around. However, in 1942 the US military accepted men into many branches, all of them volunteers, and most of them fought in Europe against Hitler and Mossolini. Others joined the Red Cross. There's no doubt that they would have fought against Japan but they were never given the chance.

-Hebrews 9:27-28 KJV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
-John 3:16 KJV
This woman is wrong Italians and Germans were also placed internment camps, just not as large of a scale.
Unfortunately hindsight is 20/20. This happened after Pearl Harbor. They had intel that there were extensive communications between japanese/american citizens and the japanese empire which allowed them to do this. They did not know how to stop this communication any other way. I hate that this happened and it was wrong. I just dont think they knew of any other way of coping. Has anyone seen the movie "Empire of the Sun"? The U.S. was not the only country ro do this. At least they were treated some better than other countries and given some compensation. Im not saying it was the right thing to do. Im just saying that they were living in a different world than we are. I don't believe that they had the manpower to divert from the war to monitor all communications. They were wrong certainly but in times of war it's a tough call.
looks like weed growing at 6:54
My dad help liberate Santo Tomas pow camp in the Filipines in ww2 He said the Japanese were not even humans and they worked our POWs to death, beheaded people for sport bayonet Filipino children the rest of their crimes goes on forever. And they tried very few of them. The things the rape of Nanking unit 731 talk about that unless you just want to rant against the US
A am 43 fucking yrs old and this is this first time i ever heard of this.. Wtf is wrong with everyone to sweep this under the rug is just wrong and i was and am kinda pissed i never heard of this.
My grandfather fought in Germany and came back with a German wife a wife at thw time was married to one of Hitler's fucking troops she wanted out and got out.
I thought i knew alot about the war but this makes me sick as hell knowing this was swept under the rug and a denial and not even a mention of what we did to our own people own Americans. Now to make sure my own kids our not as ignorant as i am about this. Again it shows how little our government cares about its own rather then its own COUNTRY...
This has incorrect information. Other ethnic groups were targeted based on their alien nationalities, including citizen and noncitizen Germans and Italians. What was unique about the Japanese is that they were a particular concentrated minority, mostly in the west, and in Hawaii that got targeted altogether.
Remember this everyone, when another war comes about. May all beings be happy and free. 🙏
Many thanks for putting this up - now more then ever is it important to remember the effects that widespread irrationality and racism can have on our fellow people and fellow american citizens. Oh and quick note - if you're going to comment, pleeeease use correct spelling haha can't stand when someone takes a stance and incorrectly spells something..all the credibility goes out the door..just saying. Oh and - yes - i'm sure I spelled something wrong in this so feel free to call my a hypocrite. I'm sure I deserve it - Much love
+Matthew McCaig Nobody was placed into internment camps because of "Racism", you knob. Japan attacked us at Pearl Harbor, killing thousands of innocent Americans and declared war on us. Then killed thousands more during the course of the war.
Italians and Germans, ie white people, were put into internement camps as well. Was that "racism"?
+Matthew McCaig These people were interned as a national security measure. A concept that comes from thousands of years worth of knowledge about what happens during times of war. Not "cuz racism".
It was for the safety of not only other Americans, but the Japanese themselves. People do crazy things out of anger, and fear, especially during war.
After the war was over these people were compensated, you should actually research it instead of allowing yourself to be race-baited and made to despise America...We've already been through this bleeding heart guilt fest (for having the gall to protect ourselves after being attacked and a war waged against us) and reparations amounting to at least 1.2 BILLION dollars were paid out to Japanese in the US.
Nobody talks about that, either. But let's keep stoking the racial issues in this country using selected bits and pieces of American history. Why not... Whites haven't been completely dispossessed of their own country, yet.
PS - Did I spell well enough for you?
+Marcus Hunter ahahahah this made my day - I forgot I commented on this. Also "knob" is a wonderful word and we dont use it enough - hats off to you, seriously not being sarcastic lol
Terrible situation at that time, but still not nearly as bad as what happened in Nazi Germany and even in Japan itself during world war 2.
Anyone know where this video comes from? I want to use it for an essay but I can't find any details to help me source it.
I have visited these camps...ua-cam.com/video/BQtPIbRUAmE/v-deo.html
Being Liberal facebook page has FDR's photo on its home page. makes you think what they support.
Like all democracies do USA had gumption to acknowledge and apologize for its sins and mistakes. This behaviour can not be expected out of china or North korea or cuba.
The 130,000 Japanese living in Hawaii at the time were never interred, why ?
Voluntary departure?
Every time the government has taken away Constitutional rights but saying it's for the good of the people has ended in disgust and shame. When will we learn?
Land of the free...
Japanese Americans in Hawaii were exempt. Their labor was needed .
What you have to remember is the disgust Americans felt about Japan. Pearl Harbor was the equivalent to 9/11. When 9/11 struck many people wanted to deport all Muslims or even intern them. You simply didn't live at the time to understand the mindset. Yes it was horrible, yes it's tragic. But you can't judge the people, "fear turns all your rational thoughts into irrational and unbelievable ones."
yes you can judge the people..simple; they were wrong then and it's wrong now
You can still judge them. This is highly idiotic behavior. Shoving everyone of Japanese decent, even american citizens into camps. What a bunch of fucking retards.
of COURSE you can blame the people for what they did! are you CRAZY????? two wrongs don't make a right no matter WHAT someone does to you it doesn't give you or ANYONE the right to do horrible things to them.
This is 4 history day at my school
This was a shame, as was the entire war. But I don't see what we could've done else. I agree with both the majority and minority opinions of the supreme court :(
7:03 take notes people if you don't like something be smart about it, solve it. or you can act like you care and riot and destroy your own city
The 442nd Regimental Combat Team of the United States Army was a regimental size fighting unit composed almost entirely of American soldiers of Japanese descent who fought in World War II, despite the fact many of their families were subject to internment. The 442nd is considered to be the most decorated infantry regiment in the history of the United States Army. The 442nd was awarded eight Presidential Unit Citations and twenty-one members were awarded the Medal of Honor for World War II.
My great aunts were taken from their homes when they were between the ages of 3 and 11 to be put in camps in Arizona.
Im not trying to justify what fdr or the us government did but they did pay reparations to the majority of internees
there was an all Japanese unit in world two called the 442 in the us army and they fought for america even tho the white americans put their parents and grand parents in interment camps . world war two was an extremely racist time , they had separate unites by race. there were all Japanese units , all black units , and all mexican units . but most of the credit in world war two mostly goes to white soldiers . its always written in every history book .
Does anyone know the name of the full episode/documentary where this came from?
if you were born in Japan you're japanese. you aren't american so that who "we americans born in japan" means you aren't american but japanese. i, however, was born in America. how many time do i have to say that? I'm not using a "hole" i was born here and live here with my american parents.and like i said, my great grandparents got their citizenship LEGALLY in the 50s, they became american citizens, like a lot of Japanese people did. and no, others may have parents who are foreigners.
Good to see the Americans knew better not to go down the same path as Germany did....oh wait
This is such a horrible time ☹️ Poor people
why would they do that just because there was a lot of them and i guess they didn't think that the Italian Americans or German Americans there was not enough people to be a thret
Why weren’t the Japanese in Hawaii interred ?
This must have bee. Horrible and was racist. How could they get away with this?
It's not surprising, racism against African Americans were still LEGALLY justified in America. Politicians and judges in the supreme court actively gave African Americans lesser social status, and most of America was okay with it for 150+ years.
We talked about this in class I'm American and this was horrible
Execute order 66
I do agree that FDR was very wrong for passing order 9066 but he was not the most despicable president ever, he did help america come out of the Great depression which other president couldn't do.
Never again.
this is sad... im black and Im saying this...
La'Keisha McCleary well look what their ancestors were doing back in Japan, we weren’t harsh to them. We were scared of them
GAME STOP!!!!
I work at one
I will attempt to answer your questions. There was not threat of invasion on our east coast as the german surface navy had already been destroyed by the Brits before the U.S. entered the war. All the german navy had left were submarines. You need aircraft carriers, transports, battleships etc. they had none That is one reason ,I can give you several more if you would like.
This sounds a lot like a concentration camp (thought not as sadistic), but it's sad how a country that sells freedom as their priced jewell and did something like this. P.S. Not saying they're like this today.
+Daniel Rodriquez You must mean that it' sad how Japan attacked the US and killed thousands of innocent Americans at Pearl Harbor.
And that thousands more US boys died because of that war. I'm sure that's what you meant...
Surely you wouldn't skip over that oh-so-important part of the story just to demonize White people...
FYI - internment was for the protection of ALL US citizens, including the Japanese.
AND over 1.2 billion dollars ended up being paid out as "reparations".
So, we get attacked, tens of thousands of us die, and we not only pay to keep the Japanese population safe, and the rest of America safe from possible sabotage, revenge killings, etc., we also end up paying for the privilege of proving we're not "racist" after it's all said and done.
ffs
+Marcus Hunter Are you playing the victim card here? No where from his comment did I feel he was demonizing White people.
Keep in mind that half of the Americans that died in Pearl Harbor were of Japanese descent. We killed more innocent Japanese civilians than the other way around by the way. War is bad either way.
This is exactly what the Soviets did.
