If Takei really wants to be angry then why isn’t he mad at Roosevelt and those in Democratic Party that endorsed the Internment of the Japanese during W.W. II? Is there anything more terrible and shameful than that period of our history?

Honestly? Yes.
Roosevelt's refusal, for years, to allow large numbers of Jews fleeing Europe and Nazi Germany into the U.S., and his refusal to expend military assets to bomb railways used (almost exclusively at times) to bring Jews to the death camps during WWII.
Internment is terrible, but standing by while genocide happens is worse.
