Concentration Camps... IN AMERICA?!: Japanese Incarceration
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 чер 2024
- Hi friends, happy Thursday!
Welcome to the Dark History podcast. Today, we are going to talk about one of the ugliest chapters in American history: Japanese-American Incarceration. From 1942 to 1946, the American Government forced over 100,000 Japanese Americans into concentration camps because they thought MAYBE they were spies.
I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more dark history.
You can find Dark History podcast on Apple, Spotify, wherever you listen to your podcasts, and every Thursday here on my UA-cam for the visual side of things.

Bailey: “they weren’t there to watch the ponies”
Me: “neigh neigh”
uuuuu didnt 😭😭🤣🤣
love it
To soon
😂🐴
😂😂😭😭
At this point Bailey is doing the entire US’ educational system’s work
They'll Neva Eva teach this
Poorly... We learned it in school , it's today today they don't teach it. What other groups did they do this to in the US during WW2 ? I'll wait
@@lisa-pz5qz who's "we"? i never learned of the USA having concentration camps and i've lived here my whole life
@@lisa-pz5qz so you also learned of the white slaves?
They losing their minds about CRT. They really don't want people reminded of their crimes against humanity
I had a history teacher in high school back in 2008-2012 who talked about issues like this. She completely disregarded what the school history books would say, and told us the raw truth. And I will always respect her for that. I learned about the real horrors regarding the Trail of Tears, slavery, and the concentration camps in our own country after Pearl Harbor, along with many other issues that boil down to systematic racism, and the greed of the wealthy. She would even mention occasionally how what she was telling us wasn’t in the history books, but she would urge us to look into other sources to understand the horrifying past of this country. We still keep in touch, and it seems like she’s been struggling to keep a teaching job because of how adamant she is on teaching students the real, hard truth, and not the sugar coated/inaccurate version that is portrayed in textbooks. It’s very refreshing hearing you talk about these issues as well, and knowing that it’s being normalized to talk about these things and stand up against the awful history this country has had, instead of pretending these problems never happened. Thank you.
I had a teacher in high school who was just like her. We are a town that had a camp as well and that is now where the yearly fair is. He always advocated that if we are to go to the fair please stop and think of the think of the atrocity those people that went though. Be thankful we can now do fun things in that area when the Japanese American people were suffering there. With living relatives who were in the camps they were very thankful for what he taught
Same!! I had a history teacher who was put on warning and probation as a teacher for telling us the truth about what happened in American history. He would tell us that the only way for it not to happen again is to tell students the truth about history so that they can understand the horrors and do everything in their power to ensure history wont repeat itself.
Mind is blown 🥺
.. tbh that was all in the curriculum at my highschool 10-14. I learned about all of this all the atrocities etc
I had a similar teacher who was one of two civics teachers and everyone had to take her that class junior year and if you got her it was either super exciting for you or intimidating. I loved her. She was a little rough around the edges which now I assume is because she was trying to teach us things that really had only been glossed over before. But she taught us that the books don’t always cover everything and really highlighted a lot of things that the school system tries to downplay like systemic racism.
I learned this in middle/high school… but I always hated how the teachers emphasized how it was an internment camp and it “wasn’t that bad” bc at least they got compensated $20k (they didn’t even tell us it took 40 years for them to get that $$!)
Thanks Baily for bringing attention to the discrimination that Asian Americans had and have to face!!
I would rather have not been in a camp than get 20K for compensation... that's some life I can't get back. Yay, prison! It's like when prisoners get compensation for being wrongly convicted... I don't think money would've been my first choice.
my teachers always stressed that it wasn't as bad, so it's not a concentration camp.
I don't believe they're sorry because if they were they wouldn't have done that in the first place.
Concentration camps were bad. But while people were rounded up in safe concentration camps, the soldiers were sent off to war with their heads blown off. Which one would you choose?
Thank you for mentioning ceciliatran.
One point still left out is that while it took over 40 years and if an incarcerated person had died previous to the Civil Rights Act of 1988 then nobody got anything.
Descendants didn’t receive reparations. You had to have been in the camps and still alive at the time the bill was signed.
Most don’t mention the horse stables they were put into originally also. Smelled awful.
Dude, I would've MASTERED my history class back in high school if the teacher had told me everything as if it was gossip. Thank you teaching us what few history teachers do.
Girl I always struggled with History cuz it was soooo boring and I’d fall asleep😂😂😂 but here I am learning it as an adult cuz of these great UA-camrs putting in the work and being great story tellers!
Literally should be taught in a gossip format!!! I agree!!
American history at school.....pthhhh
mine did. thats why I'm still friends with her. 😅
Between High School and College I have taken a quite a few history classes and I actually have learned from Bailey! She has a certain way of drawing you in about History! I wish I would have had some Teacher's and Professors that would delve into these stories! Thanks Bailey!
As a part Japanese American I feel that this subject is not covered enough. Thank you so much for making a video covering this subject. ❤️
This was Soo sad 😔 if I had Japanese friends I’d protect the house& business for them😶😢
I wish things were different for all minorities here in the US, but asian racism in america is heavily ignored by all ///:
Thankfully we learned about this in my US History
@@wojowoj6 We weren't taught about it at all when I was in school in the 70's/80's (before the governemental apology & so called reparations.)
The Japanese are great people
My grandmother moved with her American soldier husband after the war and due to the hatred Americans had for her just because she was Japanese, she raised her children to be as white as possible. She was never in an internment camp but the hatred was very real and definitely affected generations of Americans that in turn never got to appreciate their heritage. Thank you for making this episode Bailey. Hardly anyone knows about this due to our education system heavily editorializing our history books.
I am from Germany and I can relate to the "as white as possible".. My grandma has naturally tanned skin. Unlike her mother and father. Out of fear that people will attack her and accuse her of having an affair with a soldier from America, my great grandmother would try her hardest to scrub my grandmother "clean".
To this day she gets weird comments about her tanned skin. She's basically victim of xenophobia at over 80 years old and being actually white. It's sad.
People aren't choosing their ethnicity or skin color 😔 I just hate racism
2021 VISION 👍👍👍 ALL THE TIME
That is exactly what happened to my Korean Grandmother, American soldier husband and their move to America along with raising her kids white and with as little to do with her culture as possible.
@@paigemclean8297 I’d like to think it’s less universal of an experience in this day and age, but sadly I think it’s still a reality for lots of immigrants.
Same.
I have now incorporated Dark History with my 14 yo homeschooling. Thanks Bailey.
You're cool. The kid that you're teaching is lucky.
I’m gonna do that too 😁 mines barely a year old so not yet but he’s listening
My homeschooled 12 year old has been watching them too! I think I'd have wanted her to even if she was in regular school though
Mine are almost old enough but I’m going to do the same.
That's awesome! I tell my 11 yr old the true history Bailey tells. I wish I would have learned all this in school.
"Look after your neighbor even if they aren't like you." Thank you, Bailey! Cannot stress this enough these days.
I wished more ppl thought like you…
Your neighbors are like you..there American
@@tylerfrazzitta8422 they're HUMAN. Nationality shouldn't matter
@@tylerfrazzitta8422 not all of us are American. but we are all human. that is something that we all have in common
Exactly!! Even if they’re unvaccinated!!!
I wrote my final undergraduate paper about these camps and one thing that makes it extra sad is that the US had intercepted and decoded several Japanese military communications that said that Japan considered Japanese Americans too Americanized to be useful in the war effort. So the US knew there was no risk of them being spies, like most atrocities in US history it all just boils down to racism
Financial motive.
Americans went to live in the vacated homes (aka steal), and took the vacancies that the now-unemployed Japanese Americans left behind. (Aka steal)
That’s so gross, but unsurprising.
It's so heartbreaking.
yeah, well, when you have racist democrats in office like FDR these things happen.
Oh WOW. Not cool.
when he was six years old, my grandfather (along with his parents) was moved from his home in San Francisco to one of these camps in Wyoming. neither of his parents were ever compensated financially from the government like they had been promised, nor was he. he died in 2008 and i miss him a lot. he was a very quiet man, and i think being in those camps was extremely traumatic for him. he rarely spoke of it, but when he did i know it made him angry. my heart breaks for all the Japanese Americans who suffered the same unfair treatment.
I think that was Camp Heart in Wyoming.
@@guymorris6596 yes, i think so too. recently, there were pictures released of the folks at the camp during winter. children ice skating and families walking together through the snow. somehow, they are smiling in some of the pictures. somehow, they still found joy in such times of sorrow.
This was over looked in my history class. LUCKLY i had a Home EC class; my teacher ( 1st born Japanese female) shared w me her experience as a child in these concentration camps, how she over came and prospered 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I’m thankful of all the ACTUAL real life lessons she shared
When I was growing up my grandparents neighbor Harvey was a Japanese-American man who had been put in a concentration camp as a child. He’s in his 90’s now and one of the nicest people I’ve ever met! He and his wife have been together for 60+ years, and I always loved going to their house as a kid because it was very fancy and they had no kids but they did have a diabetic cat named Timmy who was my buddy 🖤
Aw Timmy
It's such a shame how many were so nice (I'm sure some were not, but that's not a race issue, thats a human being issue). So cool you knew someone.
@Cryptameria• tell that to the 2,000 First Nation children whose bodies were dug up in residential schools, the last of which closed in 1996.
Where I live I’m about 50 miles from a known camp called camp amache and now it’s a watch tower cemetery and foundations. But we knew two Japanese Americans and they was the sweetest souls one was a man named ginzo and one names shig. My aunt could faintly remember shigs mom but she had bound feet and didn’t know much English but she’d come by my grandpas and ask “ you see my shiggy?” And my grandpa would tell her and she’d thank him and leave. But I never heard a ill word about neither of those families both had hearts of gold. As close to one camp as we are most have passed away and their children moved away. My grandpa told me stories he said for what they went through they was kind hearted people.
@@caitlinvaldez6271
Bound feet was never in Japanese culture, it was in China.
They must have been an international couple. Married for such long years can tell they were soul mates.
My grandma was only 3 when she was in the concentration camp. And her father lost his business but their neighbors took care of the house. My family has an “apology” letter from the president, the check, etc. My grandma forgot how to speak Japanese because of the discrimination afterwards. Thank you for covering this ❤️
So sorry your family went through this. But it’s important to hear the stories from the people who lived them so we never forget so we never repeat.
Im so very sorry she had to go through that ❤️ I’m Mexican and every time I go into a store that’s clearly all white skinny girls I’m always looked up and down and always have the girls come up to me and following me around the store as if ima steal something. And that’s just a small amount of racism I receive. I can’t imagine going through something like this camp. She and yourself should be proud of your race and culture ❤️ (which is one I truly admire)
@@chrisg64 Skinny young girls look everyone up and down. 🤔😂
Brittany, Thank You for sharing this painful part of your life with us. Sending hugs to you, my dear
@@lelanixon3248 and we are repeating it as we speak.
They have built camps for the unvaxxed in Australia and our premier has said they are for the unvaxxed.
We are just waiting until we are sent there and looks like it will be soon.
I know this is mostly Dark American History, but I'd love to hear you talk about Chernobyl and how the Soviets really minimized how bad it was.
Oh yeah... family of mine fostered a teenage girl whose parents signed her up for a program to give kids from Chernobyl some time in untoxic air
I never understood why I had zero interest history in school… but, even as a black kid I understood that it was all bs propaganda! I see how some older Japanese business owners treat me and in the future be able to empathize with the trauma they have gone through. I ALWAYS consider generational trauma throughout my own community and don’t really consider others as I’m constantly pushing through w/ my tribe. Def a growth moment for me!
@Tadereius Johnson I completely agree. Same with me as well.
Are you sure they are Japanese business owners.
Just because it says “Japanese” restaurant doesn’t mean they are owned and run by Japanese.
There are more “Japanese” businesses and especially restaurants owned by non-Japanese than Japanese themselves.
There is indeed trauma. Fear of losing their business/property yet again.
There are connections too between the African American community and Japanese Americans. Due to the same Jim Crow laws they both lived side by side in areas such as Crenshaw, CA and Gardena, CA.
As a Japanese American with family that were in these “internment camps”. Thank you for shedding light on this period of history. Also fun fact Japanese Americans were very patriotic at the time and they diid not find 1 single traitor or spy!
Japanese folks would never sold there comrades. Japanese people are well respected and has really colorful Culture. That Hiroshima and Nagasaki would never happen. If this Soldier listen to there comrades.
I think the americans took away the wrong lesson about Japanese culture. The no.1 thing wasn't loyalty to the emperor and the country from whence they came, but simply loyalty to the land they considered their own.
The 100th/442nd combat units were some of the most decorated units in all of WWII!!! The 100th was actually nicknamed "the Purple Heart Battalion." Thanks to the US government's racism, Japanese Americans were not allowed to fight in the Pacific, and were sent on some of the most dangerous missions in Europe towards the end of the war.
Absolutely! My Japanese great grandfather even fought for the US in WWII! They sent him to Germany but if that doesn't prove his patriotism I don't know what would!
When my grandma was a kid and growing up in Bakersfield, she was best friends with a Japanese girl named Annette. They literally spent like every day together. Annette was taken to the camps and my grandma never saw her again, and she made such a big impression on her that my grandma named my mom after her. My grandma rarely talked about it, but I know she thought about her every day.
Thats so heartbreaking 💔
Thank you for sharing that sweetheart
That's so sad!
That is so horrible and heartbreaking but your grandma naming your mum after her is such a wonderful honour to that friendship.
That's sad
my grandfather and three of my aunties were inturned in their formative years. I've spent every available school project or moment available to speak to try and help educate my peers as well as teachers, even going as far as to build models of the horse stall that my grandfather inhabited, and I have been dismissed each time. I've spent hours upon hours writing essays and researching every article and comment given about the camps even going as far as to visit the Japanese American Museum in California. thank you baliey for using your platform to help continue to educate the masses of the seemingly invisible anguish of hundreds of thousands of true Americans.
I remember first hearing about this as a kid because I was OBSESSED with these Dear America books that were fake diaries of kids growing up during historical events. There was a kid in an internment camp and I couldn’t believe because I was young and naive and didn’t realize how terrible people can be!
I read those books as well. I loved them all and definitely learned some stuff from them as a young child by reading them.
Holy smokes, I read that! I knew about these concentration camps because I read a book about it when I was a kid, but I didn't remember exactly what it was. It was totally that!
@Elizabeth Lilly I had no idea these books were fiction because my school in Alabama had them in the non-fiction section in our library :0
As a Japanese American whos grandparents were interned here, I really appreciate you covering this issue! ❤❤❤
I am so sorry your family had to suffer because of ignorance! Your grandparents did not deserve to be treated that way by the government of the country they counted on to protect them.
I swear Bailey must have been a history teacher in her past life. She would've be an awesome teacher!!
I mean she is a teacher.....right?
she would make an awesome history teacher, especially today. re-write history just to go along with the governments narrative and teach against critical thinking- just listen and don't ask questions or research.
I'm sure she makes much more then any teacher could dream of .
I would have loved to have her as my history teacher. Unfortunately teachers have to follow certain guidelines and topics to cover. So she can stick to dishing out all the gossip and tea.
I would have done so much easier in school if she was my teacher, i want her to teach me every subject lololol
Here in the UK I had no idea that this happened, it was completely missed out of our curriculum. Thank you for bringing this injustice to the attention of your audience, you are doing a real service to us all 🙌🏻
Ps....love the robes and adore George Takei 💙
It didn't get taught in schools here in the US where these same concentration camps were located.
im 43year old in the uk and i had no idea this happened...im shocked at my own ignorannce...
The most ridiculous part of the "interment camps" was that it was for "Japanese safety." They were supposed to be protected from the racism. I remember learning this in class and was just like "whut 😶." Thanks for talking about this topic Bailey... not enough people acknowledge this. Signed, a more than 1/16 Japanese girl.
Hi, we're from the gov and we're to help you & keep you safe.😯 we are doing this for your safety, we would never hurt you...
I remember learning about this in middle school. My teacher brought in her father who was in an internment camp as a child. It made it SO real and was very impactful. As someone who is also half-Japanese, it breaks my heart to see that the US never learns and continues to target other minority groups as its new scapegoat.
When I was in junior high my history teacher brought in his grandmother who was a holocaust survivor. She even showed us her forearm that was tattooed with numbers from what I remember. It really hits hard and made a lasting memory on me and my class that was in complete silence while she spoke about her experience. Thanks for sharing your story.
WhT a great teacher!
I met the sweetest man at the Japanese-American museum in LA as a kid. He was a survivor of these concentration camps. From what I remember, he was very old, retired, and physically slow, but he would volunteer at the museum daily so he could tell visitors his story. I'm very glad he did; it's one thing to hear these terrible, momentous stories, but it's another thing entirely to meet someone who was so closely impacted by them.
Every time Bailey says, “Nay nay,” I learn a new eyeshadow trick and a candle mysteriously arrives at my doorstep.
*literally cusses out America*
*smiles*
“Let’s pause for an ad break”
I’m crying yall 😂😂
"WE should know that this could happen to any of us. Any group can suddenly become a target of a grand scheme like this one and we have to look out for our neighbors even if they're not actually like you." Truth and well stated.
It was clearly racist campaign. People said at the time it was sad, but justify because they know who were spies and those who were loyal. Others said it was because of the attack or the war with Japan.Yet, there were no German or Italian descent that were put in concentration camps. Didn’t the government think there were spies among them, too?
It was a different time in our history! Had you grown up in this era you would know that the government was extremely afraid of spies and we were already in war!! It wasn’t about racism it was about protecting our country from threats within!! I’m not saying I condone everything that went on but believe me our concentration camps were nothing to what the Germans had! My grandmother and my great grandparents were in a German concentration camp, And I’m sorry but Bailey is a little off on this one!!!
@@altarush yup. That was one of the big point we talked about in my college Asian American history class. The Japanese were rounded up but what about the Russians during the Cold War? Were they discriminated? Probably. But were they put into camps like the Japanese....nope.
Absolutely! I lived in a very diverse neighborhood. One neighbor taught me some dishes and I helped her English.
@@altarush what about the white Americans that have turned against the country multiple times
My mom and dad were both in camps (Gila River and Arkansas). My Grandma was 21 with a baby and 2 young girls when they entered the camps. It was such a tragedy how much all families lost everything and had to start again from scratch. The only photo of my mom as a child that exists, is one taken by the famous Dorothea Lange when they were waiting for the train to camp. Thank you Bailey for sharing awareness of this tragedy in American history.
This is not tragedy. This is Atrocity! This Japanese folks were helpless. And i believe when you become a citizen you would swore an Oath am I right? Or they still don't have it back then. When everyone Thought there is freedom in America.
That is absolutely terrifying to know u as an American citizen is thrown into camps w ur babies. They had no idea what was going to happen to them. The panic of people thrown out of their homes and lives to live in cramp horrific conditions not knowing what was happening.
Wow I am From Gila River and its so crazy that they had a camp where they had it. It's very hot and nothing but desert here, and its a reservation which is why I didn't get why hey put them there also.
This was a tragedy I learnt in elementary school. I remember knowing so much people who lost generational treasures. I think my uncle lost his traditional family kimonos. This honestly got me wanting to start collecting new yukatas and kimonos. Just losing 500 year heritage or something from your family, it just hurts a lot. After the war, knowing you lost everything after cause you’re Japanese; it’s an atrocity. I hate we don’t talk about the camps as often as everything else, it’s barely mentioned anymore. It’s upsetting it’s swept under the rug. I’m just happy Bailey is bringing this part of history to the forefront.
2 minutes in.
Bailey: George Tekei was a normal 5 yr old boy.
Me: hm familiar name. Anyway.
43:00 Bailey: But by sheer determination and persistence they got back on their feet and were able to provide George the confidence he needed to pursue his dream of a an actor in Hollywood!
Me: :o :)
He created a graphic novel about that.
Same reaction i had i had to look the name up
🥰 me 2 minutes in: OH MYYYYY 🖖
He also created a musical about his family's experience.
my great grandma was in one of these camps and i remember, as a little girl, she showed me the number they tattooed on her. a haunting story, thank you for talking about it ♥️
I knew about this event, but I didn’t realize America did the tattoos also, I thought only the nazis did that. Wild.
I feel like Bailey is trying to wake Americans up by explaining real history. Let’s hope it works 🤣
Agree! We have to learn from history no matter how bad and she does an amazing job at it.
For real. She really does pick topics that cover social injustices that we should know about and those Americans who have been subject to those injustices deserve to have their story told. She is one influencer I am happy to say has the platform she does.
Frrrrrrr
Seems like the only place critical race theory could be taught is on here…
100%
My Gramma Kiyoko was a survivor here in Canada, was named after her and I cherish my culture
Thank you so much for doing this Bailey!!!
Gorgeous name
Bailey! George Takei starred in a musical about a Japanese family being forced into a concentration camp. It's called Allegiance. The book the play is adapted from was inspired by George's personal experiences. You showed the poster for it but didn't even mention it.
Your next Dark history should be about Thanksgiving
Can you please talk about the Native American boarding schools? It's a big deal to my people and native Americans all over the Midwest. It's basically been erased from history. Please look into it, awareness needs to be brought to this subject.
Please and thanks! Much love! ❤
Send this to her "Request" email. Better chance of her seeing it there.
@@cookiemonstersgirl5630 thanks! I didn't know there was one. Will do.
Canada is now dealing with thousands of native bodies from residential schools from un marked graves
I recently learned more about it in school! It's a topic in my next english test
Also the young women and minors being sold and selling themselves.... Canadian First People- Indigenous- "Aboriginal"- along the railways and highways. Lost occasionally to alcohol, and sometimes brought home because of alcohol.
There are some some stunning, brilliant young authors rising to the surface now who have hundreds of wonderful stories of their own to tell.
why do i learn more in one dark history ep than an entire year of history
edit: this is the most amount of interaction i’ve ever gotten and on my favorite creators video. ily my fellow broskis
Same here! The storytelling format is the best
You never learned this in your history classes?
Yikes.
Look into the CDC’s “humanitarian settings” and “shielding approach”
Come to your own conclusions. Don’t rely on fact checkers to be honest. They lie more than anyone.
It's the delivery! She does a great job. Never know what she will say next! 😆
Because Bailey doesn't hide anything. She lays it all out, rather than fluffing it up to make the country look better on their dark history
Propaganda? In my US education system? It's more likely than you think.
Yeah, and kids are still in cages now. Another dark history that’s present day. These podcasts are awesome!
It’s weird that everyone is glossing over that one. They were literally performing hysterectomies on women in those camps.
@@JennieGarciaN eugenics never dies
If you’re interested in this, look into the 1917 bath riots. It is what inspired the German gas chambers that were used during WWII. It is also one of the many events that took place in The United States but isn’t typically taught in our history classes in schools.
Bailey giving "love witch" energy with this hair and makeup
Who tells you like it is.. but also does it with love 🤣
You look GREAT
It’s a whole aesthetic
I wonder if she has ever seen the movie
Her hair is lovely today but I also have to add that this shade of green is absolutely stunning on her.
girl, the transition from the desk to just chilling out on the couch in a robe is a VIBE, feel like i’m just chatting with my bestie, we love.
thanks for making me feel comfy while I listen & learn🤓
What transition? She was on the couch the whole time...
@@jacqueline3782 her older DH episodes had her behind a desk
Mike Shinoda's family was in there as well. He sings about it and it's one of the best most heartfelt songs on fort minors first album.
I was looking for this comment. "Kenji" (the name of the song) brought tears to my eyes, even though as a European, far from having known about the horrors of war myself, I couldn't relate.
Definitely one y'all need to listen to.
I actually presented that song in my music class because it went straight to my feels
The same thing happened to Japanese and Italians in Australia too, I’m so glad you’re talking about this ❤️
“Cause I’m about to ruin it”
You never ruin my day Bailey 😌💘
Is dark history on Thursdays or whenever once a week
Someone copy pasted your comment in hopes that Bailey would ❤ them like she did yours. 😂

If only my psychiatrist could prescribe me Bailey.
Bailey, you have a strong theme in all these dark histories... I feel like I'm hearing you loud and clear.
I'm thankful to say that my history teacher taught us this in roughly the exact way. He emphasized how bad it was because it was indeed a horrible thing. I'll always commend him for telling us the truth instead of making America look like the hero.
Our girl, Joan Crowford, needs her own silk robe to match Bailey!
some white eyebrows too
I loved Joan's ghost costume. Cracked me up so hard.
I'm here for it! I want Joan in a jacket or dress with big shoulder pads.
Silk is so cruel
@@aleksandralempart8305 it most likely not actually silk as that is expensive and hard to find. It's satin.
Hi Bailey, I know you mainly do American History, but could you also take us to other parts of the world? Australia also has a dark history involving the Aboriginals, such as the stolen generations and the genocide in Tasmania. It doesn’t get taught enough in our schooling here so it might be a topic worth talking about 😊 thank you!
Yes that and New Zealand !!
Canada too
I would love a series like this tho?!
I mean, every nation has dark history. But, America bad is the motto.
No
I love how Bailey’s audience is actually educated, meanwhile on tiktok there would have been someone saying “they deserved it” 🤦🏻♀️
It's not only TikTok; there is a large swath of the Population who still consider us THE ENEMY, and that we deserved it all. Generational Racism is still alive and well in the US of A.
I never even knew there were concentration camps in the US. I thought those had only existed in Japan and Germany where the wars were being fought. Thanks for enlightening all of us, Bailey!
The usa still has them today. They've always had them. They came up with the idea starting with indiginous americans.
I don't trust any government as far as I can throw it and I can't throw it.
i love how they considered those bad but it was considered okay for them to do the exact same thing. hypocrisy.
we just finished learning about the world war 2 at my school and we didn’t get to hear about this at all, we only learned about the camps in germany. thank you for bringing it up bailey
the sad part is as a future teacher, many students will not learn about this in the future either. it's really tragic that history is so hidden you have to pay thousands just to learn about it.
Wow...this is sad. Not a lot has changed in many ways since I was in school.
Yeah, and sadly students probably never will learn about this or the other horrible things/people that America is really built on.
They were also concentration camps in croatia for jews roma serbians and bosnians
Its because America will never own up to there own sins but quick to call out other countries
I am half Japanese (my mom is Japanese and my dad is African American), I really am appreciating this video and have learned a lot!
I'm 34 and I remember this being mentioned in history class but the teacher made sure she minimized it.
Hi Bailey!!!
Thank you so much for talking about this. My Great-Grandmother was taken to Topaz Internment Camp, and my Grandmother was born there. Her whole family was in Hiroshima, and she lost them all. They never talked about it much, but the trauma was always there. I had to learn a lot about it through books, museums, and my Great-Grandmother's journals after she passed.
After the war, my Great-Grandmother and her husband and 2 children had to start all over. They came back to California and started a successful catering business. My Grandmother grew up and married my Grandfather and now runs his Taqueria (Taqueria Ramiro & Sons, if anyone here is from the Bay Area lol). I'm proud to come from a long line of women who persevere no matter what.
Sorry for the long post, and thank you again for educating us here on UA-cam
My great grandparents were children in the Internment Camps. They met in Minidoka and fell in love, even in such a dark time in their young lives. Once they were freed, they never spoke of it… too painful. And America never wants to speak of it either. Thank you so much Bailey ❤️
I'm quite surprised how many people don't know of the Japanese "internment" camps. I learned of these in high school in the late 80's. We saw photos and videos of the poor people there. Again, I'm so surprised how many people don't know.
not all of the people here are from America and for people like me, for example, its something i definately never heard of
I'm surprised for this too! They teach this to us at school at 90's and I'm from Finland. I would understand if I wouldn't have heard about this, but how this is not teached in US?
@@karinapavlova9808 Many of my fellow Americans don't know about these camps Or other atrocities that have happened at the hands of our own government. Things have been glossed over or only taught in college. Things I have learned in grammar school and high school (primarily and and secondary), my children have not. It's sad if you think about it.
I grew up less than 15miles from one of these camps (Seabrook, New Jersey) and never heard of it until I met someone who worked at a museum that tells the story.
its honestly crazy how much knowledge we are missing... in my school (russian school in estonia) we weren't taught such things. we were told about different periods of history, "main" events but things like this were never mentioned to us. even our own history was so focused on "big" events that the bigger picture was never painted to us... and thats so sad honestly
I’m currently a freshmen in high school and have actually learned about it in my elementary school, I have not learned about it recently nor learned it in depth.
You always shine a light on things that shouldn't be forgotten. Love it
you should do a story on the native American boarding schools and talk about how they just found several children's bodies in one of the Canadian native American boarding schools very recently
Today’s episode
Already done this one!
She did it! Did you see?
MMIW, when is this going to go mainstream?
@@Zubstep1315 ppo0.
Mm mk k
I've been doing alot of research into the "boarding schools" native Americans were forced to attend and I think it's a really important time that got erased from the textbooks, I think a dark history episode of those times would be very educational 💐
It would be really interesting if she talked about Canadian residential schools versus what the US did too. I'm always interested in seeing the ridiculous justifications for such awful behaviour.
it's messed up that I heard nothing about that in school. I read about in in 8th grade over the summer. I took out that Betty Eadie book "Embraced by the Light," a near-death experience book. She told about the shame she and other native children had been taught, and their terrible treatment. This was much, much later, but still going on.
Send the idea to her email its in the description there is more chance she will see it there I think alot people wanna hear it so it might become a video
There are some jails in the South won in Florida I believe that there are over 300 mysterious deaths of little kids to teenagers at these so-called boarding schools. They were basically treated as slaves for work and beaten to death eventually. In the last decade or so some of the families have managed to find the bodies of their family member buried on the properties were there were just basically Mass Graves. I saw her talking in another clip about Benjamin Franklin not inventing and while you're at it Alexander Graham Bell invent ... The first combustible engine used in Fords...all of these created by black men and given no credit. Just like they hid the fact the person who did the mathematical equations that got us to the moon was a black woman but they would not acknowledge it until after she died we homeschooled through the public school system last year and my daughter's history teacher took the gloves off for Black History month and even with having a minor in social inequality and Injustice I learned more in that slideshow then I knew altogether about history discovered this year was a different curriculum in a different county they literally skipped from the bowing Savage's their words not mine, and the glowing blond blue-eyed colonist or blessing them with food my ten-year-old daughter took one look at the picture and said I'm not going to lie and answer those questions this isn't what happened and we run into that problem a lot.
I’m currently in college and one of my classes is an education career class, there was a conversation prompt about americas history of education oppression and I brought up America’s history of controlling native Americans lives by forcing them to integrate into their “white Christian life” including their education plan and compares it to how education originally started as a way to control immigrants because they felt immigrants had Bad manners and ethics and the Americans worried they’d pollute their beautiful perfect children :3 so they made schools with heavy influence from religion.
Love the Podcast. But seeing Bailey telling this important stories, even better ! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Bailey too many people forget that we’re all the same race…. THE HUMAN RACE! Our government is wrong on so many levels and love to keep a race war going on. I’m ashamed of our country for the things they have put people through and the racism they thrive on! Keep up the great work… I just love all your videos!
2021 VISION STILL EXIST TO THIS DAY SMDH 😎
I had to tell someone this last night cause they really tired to tell me there’re 5 kinds of “human race.” SMH
I like learning stories like this so that when ignorant people ask why immigrants don't appear to assimilate to their new country by setting up their own communities and might appear to stick with each other I can answer that; perhaps it's because almost every minority that had a mass migration due to wars, famines, and atrocities have faced violence and persecution and so had no choice but to stick to each other.
Leave it to Bailey to cover the great covers
???
@@robinarman7300 I think ur both right. First ur theory but then theirs. The violences and biased persecution make them further tight knit as they face hardships
American schools won't cover this. I'm sure because the fact that America isn't the hero but the villain here
American schools did cover it when I was in high school. I was very aware of almost everything she talked about. Of course that was in the 70’s and 80’s so maybe it somehow got dropped from the curriculum. But I also loved history and was really into American history. After going back to college in 2009 and having to take history all over again, I told my husband that everyone should have to take American history again when they are 35. I got even more out of it the second time.
Yo if the Dark History book was for sale, I'd buy it in a heart beat... Imagine reading all of the stories she does just with her style. SO DESPERATELY NEED THAT in her merch store or something
YASSSSSSS!!!!!!!!
This is such a great idea!! 💡 📖
I would buy it also. Bailey get the book out
Yesss
Yasssss
My grandparents were born in the US. I was told that the bunkers were just portioned off living quarters for each family. My family (3 generations for their “apartment” if you will) separated their spaces by hanging sheets up as “room dividers.” Also, the walls for each “apartment” (my term, not theirs) did not go all the way to the celling so the neighbors could be heard. I had family members born in camp with one being conceived in camp (that means my grandmother was sent to camp pregnant). I had asked if there was no privacy other than a sheet how did they “do it?” 😂. She said they did “what they had to do.” 😂.
They had hakujin (white) neighbors who promised to watch the farm, but when they returned everything from the new tractors & other equipment purchased just before being interned all the way to the lightbulbs in the sockets were gone. Thanks, neighbor.
This is SO appropriate for what’s happening in the world right now. Love these Bailey! Thank you for educating the people!
Bailey has taught me more than 4 years of high school history classes did.
Same 😂
Yes so true
They don't teach the REAL History
FOR FREAKING REAL
maybe your like me and just paying attention this time 😂
At my school they mostly concentrated on Germany ww2 and how horrible they did to Jewish community but
I saw a tiny article what they did to Japanese community in the USA i was like hold up so I went to library to look more I'm like this messed up 🤨
Bailey you should definitely sell a blank Dark History book that can be used as a journal so we can keep track if our own dark history.💜💜
I first heard of this when I read Danielle Steele's book, Silent Honor. I cried so hard.
I learned about this in junior high and it was something that shocked me and stuck with me ever since. I believe we read “Farewell to Manzanar” when we were learning about it. I went to school in Southern CA, and this would have been around 1993/1994 when I was taught about it. Do they not teach about this in schools anymore?
Manzanar war relocation center is now a historical site. My husband and I visited it a few years ago. It’s was intense reading about everything and seeing the camp.
Thats also where I learned about it.. our English and social classes combined to do a huge chapter about this!
I'm 34 and im gonna be honest with you. I learned about it from an episode of 7th Heaven. They didnt teach this in school at all.
I lived pretty close to Tule Lake when in high school. The only reason we learned about it was because our Home Economics teacher was friendly with our History teacher. She came into class one day and told us about her grandparents experience in the camps. It was really eye opening, and I’m thankful we were able to learn about it.
Wow. That's memorable! There are/were people who traveled the world to talk about Hiroshima and Nagazaki as well as the concentration camps in Europe, too. Being able to read or listen to memoirs, or to meet these people in person, is so important. At my college (U of M-Dearborn) one of our professors, Syd Bolkosky, helped put together a collection of Holocaust stories. We need first-hand accounts or relatives' accounts, if possible. Kids will remember that and carry those stories.
I love how Bailey is saying everything we are feeling about injustices about these camps. Love you Bailey!
Thank you for teaching us about REAL American History!! It disgusts me how the system covers it up!! Thank you for all you do!! Love it 🥰
This reminds me of the anti-asian racism that occurred in the 1800s in Canada. Many Chinese people were brought to Canada to build our railways, because they would work for next to nothing ($1 a day). This really fuelled the fire of anti-asian racism that continued on throughout the decades.
I would love to see you cover the details of this story!
Thanks for giving a voice to these people who went through such horrible injustices. Love you Bailey ❤️💀
One of my favorite actors: George Takei, an American, was a little boy when he and his family was forced to one of these camps. Pat Morita (Mr. Miyagi) also was a young boy when he too was forced to one of these camps. There are some really great interviews of their experiences, from a child’s perspective. 💔
I heard “this little 5yr old George Takei” and I was like THE George Takei!? I never even imagined. Rabbit hole here I come…
BAILEY please please do a dark history on the dark past of Nestle!! They took a lot of lives of babies. I've only been able to find so much information but I feel you could find way more!!
Yes!
I absolutely love your personality and your sense of humor. When you sang "with arms wide open" I died! Thanks for keeping difficult subjects somewhat light🥰
Living in Hawaii we all learn about this, when i moved to Vegas to finish out my highschool year they learned about it also but not to this extent or to the extent of which I learned either. I just love the way you break it down and tell the stories.
The fact that Norway has this in our history books and not America.
Yeah, my reaction at first was "This is a well known thing, what are you talking about?" But I realized that it isn't as well known over in the US... That is quite awful.
We have it but it’s so brushed over that you don’t even notice it as something that was so horrible, the system is broken
We DO have this in our history books. People just dont remember. I remember learning about this in school - HOWEVER it is extremely glossed over and def not talked about enough. Every race has experienced racism at some point: Irish, Italians, Polish, Black, Native Americans, Iranians, ETC. All but European whites from England apparently! Lol. Crazy
BAILEY YOU LOOK STUNNING!! The hair, the glam, the silk robe just gives off “yeah I just killed my 80 year old husband and got away with it” vibes
love it. here for it. living for it
The aesthetic vibe in this video is top tier. Love the background, couch, the ROBES and MAKEUP and HAIR. Girllllllllllllll MOOD!
So glad somebody with a big platform is finally talking about this. People have been looking at me like I’m crazy for years
If I was a history teacher, I'd play these in my class.
I used to teach high school and had a documentaries class where i would have them watch things like this and others, have them take notes, do a quiz and have them write a paper on what they witnessed. How they could have helped or changed
@@shanons31able as a student, I would absolutely love something like this. Wow
Alot of times it was English classes that I heard about crazy history like this especially if their were books about it
Can we nominate Dark History to be mandatory part of school social studies for highschool students? While I know alot of the stories she features cause I'm a history nerd, my parents and some siblings don't know and are surprised when I speak to them about it.
60% of the curriculum: _people failing tests because they keep mixing up cannibals_ ☠️😬😅
Yes!!! I’m Canadian and had no idea abt just how horrible residential schools are and what they taught us in school was not true and it makes me so mad
Japanese internment camps were a 6 week unit in the middle school I taught at. Our history teacher was great.
I learned about this after reading an assigned book in 5th grade. I'm truly surprised that people have never heard of this. I've tried to educate my kids growing up about these things. If the schools aren't teaching it, it's our responsibility to do it at home.
I cant remember the name of the book, but I did read a book about a young girl and her family being in one of these camps in school. But I can't find the book anywhere, and no one else knows about it. I'm sure its been removed from all school reading lists. 😦
Yes I am so happy you covered this! Thank you. ❤
This was part of our history lessons in high-school yearly back in the day. My students are learning about it right now. I refuse to gloss over the bad parts of history. I had a student ask me why he had to learn this stuff and we had an awesome conversation about learning from the ignorance and mistakes of the past so we don't be ignorant and repeat them.
Nobody wants to ignore the bad but Anti-American leftist want to only focus on the bad and somehow act like this has only happened in America. Also they don't want to acknowledge the violence from different Indian tribes, They had black slaves, They were at war with each other and also took land. The left just wants to talk about how much they hate white men.
@@BishopWalters12 Native American infighting and counting coups is nothing like the targeted mass extermination effort the US Government engaged in. They’re not even similar. I did a project in college, you can find it on my channel, on the Sandy Lake Tragedy. It was intentionally targeted misinformation designed to destroy a people and take their land. It’s not the same.
Same here in Germany. So many people don't want to learn/talk about all this stuff anymore. I will not get tired of reminding people that this should never happen again
That's cool your administrators let you
@@VirginiaGeorge Incorrect but just be honest about pushing an anti-white narrative.
Bailey is like our smart History Teacher...but with more information, all glammed-up with beautiful wavy curls and discussing topics with gossip.
And I just LOVE IT!
Thank you for this video Bailey.
I’m Mexican, Japanese and Irish, my Japanese great grandfather served in the army under the 442nd infantry in ww2. I’m very proud of my heritage and my family. I’m more than 1/15 percent Japanese, I look white, I wonder if they would have imprisoned me?
He was raised in Hawaii and joined the army with his other Japanese friends. His infantry is famous, and one of the most decorated in history. I went to little Tokyo with my husband a few years ago and visited his memorial, and was shocked to learn about the racism, and segregation of Japanese durning that time. Thankfully my family didn’t have to go the interment camps, but I’m frustrated that I never learned about any of this in school. I love Bailey so much because she exposes American history that isn’t taught in school! Thank you for covering this story, too many people don’t know this side of history, and it’s over due. Thank you 🙏
I once worked with a woman whose stepfather served in the 442nd. When I met him, he was surprised but pleased that I knew about it and honored him and his family. I wish I could remember his name. Honor to your great grandfather.
@@maryeckel9682 that’s so awesome, my great grandfather passed away before I was born, If I could’ve had just one conversation with him I would be so honored and blessed 🙏 what an amazing group of people they all were for fighting for their country even in the face of so much hate and racism
Can you talk about the "Braceros Program" we learned about this in highschool after this event in history due to them both happening during the same time. Since I am Mexican American I was shocked that the US got away with spraying down Mexicans with chemicals and forcing them to work in America to later on get papers. In the end not many of those men got papers and some were sent back to mexico. I know they were really hard workers and many died from the labor and not getting any breaks. They actually made and harvested most of the crops in WWII and are not even recognized for their work.
i’m going to look into this, thank you for sharing! i hope she talks about it! reading through the comments has me sobbing, all these personal stories... it’s so heartbreaking.
Bailey’s green silk robe is giving me life - must know where I can get one
Exactly my thoughts 😆
I have a very similar robe, I got it at Victoria's Secret
Thank you so much for telling this story. My grandmother and her family lived in one of these concentration camps when she was a little girl. She would tell me stories about living there. But not once was this ever mentioned in my history books. Once again thank you!
Im so thankful that youve been making these history videos! The way our american school system is we have white washed, glazed over, or even ignored or pretended like these events never happened! Ive been learning so much from you and i really am happy that more people are getting this important information:(( you also always look gorgeous 🥺
Let’s all agree that if Bailey teaches our history class, we would have passed with flying colors! 👌
WORD❣️❣️
I may have actually payed attention to a pre-college history class if Bailey had been teaching!!!
I would be so excited if she gave us exams!🙌
It’s crazy how in school they taught us about the camps in Germany but failed to teach us that the United States did the same thing to Japanese Americans. As a Japanese American I really appreciate you covering this issue. I’ve been trying to push the importance of this subject for years.
As a German I can see why. They want to direct all the shade on others and say "oh look they were horrible" but behind the curtains they know that this wasn't better
My school in California taught about this. There are American schools that teach about our failures and rights violations. Equating this violation to the genocide of 6 million jews by Germany as if that's the same thing is inappropriate though.
In Southern California we learned about this in high school as well as a lot of stuff she has covered so far. I never learned about the Tulsa Massacre though
@@wwbit thank you I'm kind of shocked at the parallel that is being drawn here
They taught us about this
So far this is the only one I actually learned in college! But still; it's not talked about enough. All of these topics aren't talked about enough
Thanks friend!
I love your podcast so so much! Than you for always bringing the best, spoopy, historically accurate, glam content!
