"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." -George Santayana
First the Native Americans than the Japanese Americans and now The Muslim Americans. Why can America never learn that taking away another minority's human rights and mass imprisoning them is wrong?
+According2Harper America is a country of more than 200 million people. When your country is that big, how can you control it?
+According2Harper You forgot Mexicans/Hispanics and African Americans.
Most of the comments so far are making me sad, Even Reagan realized what we did was bullshit.
Beautiful message!!!
Whatever the situation right now, past should not be forgotten nor be repeated.
Quality damn video.
It's very important to remember that the cases authorizing this are still on the books (and need to be overturned). While Korematsu's conviction was overturned, and the US Solicitor General filed a Confession of Error with the Court regarding the 1940s-era internment cases, there are major unresolved issues. For example, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals decision in Hedges v. Obama (for the time being) stands, unfortunately - that was a decision in which the Court upheld Obama’s decision to sign elements of the 2012 NDAA into law, which authorized indefinite detention of citizens and residents without charges or trial. It was attempted via Hedges v. Obama in 2013 to address the question, “To the extent that the Second Circuit opinion holds that Korematsu (a WWII case) is among the “existing law and authorities” under § 1021(e) that relate to military detention of citizens and legal residents, should Korematsu be overruled?” An amicus brief was filed in Hedges v. Obama on behalf of descendants of World War II detainees: Karen and Ken Korematsu, Holly, Iris and Laurel Dee Yasui, Jay Hirabayashi, Sharon Mitsu Yen and Marion Setsu Oldenberg ~ but the US Supreme Court refused to take up Hedges v. Obama. Thus not only does the NDAA 2012 stand, but so does the older, racialistic WWII internment case law, until such time as a different US Supreme Court takes it up by way of a different case in the future.
Governments must stop the punishment of good and productive people. Greed is an ugly thing, whether for money, or perceived power.
Just like Germany, USSR AKA Russia so has USA done the same. But they dont teach that in the history books.
Here in Canada, we are taught in high school about the internment of Japanese Canadians during WWII.
Lucky you. Thou we arent done with the ww2 topic.
So maybe we will be taught that.

Do you live in the US? I'm just curious.
Actually they do you idiot.
Just sad but lucky they were on our side ..
What Franklin D. Roosevelt did here was terrible. Absolutely no excuse for this whatsoever.
2:06 The incident is probably why there is very little cultural retention in their community. Because it's painful to remember it so they choose to dissociate from their ancestral heritage.
This is like an inverse treason, if you get what I mean.
You know I do like really like the idea of the US's constitution and the Bill of Rights, but unfortunately, I am massively misquoting from George Carlin here, "Rights are not God given, they are merely person given, meaning when a person with enough power doesn't want to give you those rights they won't" I also believe he said something along the lines of "Rights are not rights, they are privileges given to you, by someone of power who can just as easily take them away" and his almost always example of this actually happening was the Japanese internment camps in America, just thought I'd let people know
did they not have these camps on the east coast
No.
The AJ+ comment section is as cancerous as ever.
they didn't get a nose hair trimmer in the camps?
bananfejja how disgusting and miserable person you are!!! reported.
Why the American-Germanic were not incarcerated when America went to Europe in WW2?
Obviously because Germany did not attack America
And any Americans of Japanese descent who are Democrats, I can not understand how you can be in that party.
