The Japanese, by the way, are some of the most racist people on the planet.
Oh, and they don't like blacks.....at all.

Seventy-five years ago today, hundreds of Japanese bombers attacked the American naval base at Pearl Harbor. America's shock, and its grief for the more than 2,000 US military dead on this date of "infamy" led to overwhelming unity of purpose as we entered a world war.
Yet America's unity was matched by its profound fears about national security in the days after Pearl Harbor. Well before December 7, 1941, Americans believed that enemy spies and saboteurs lived among us. Some did, though not nearly as many as we imagined. In 1940, the FBI reportedly received 3,000 complaints or tips every day regarding acts against America's national defense.
Amid this climate of fear, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover ordered the Immigration and Naturalization Service to detain and question thousands suspected of having ties to America's enemies. Many Germans and Italians were arrested in the days after Pearl Harbor, but the American people's fear of "persons of Japanese ancestry" hardened the most.
In the months after the attack, the US government acted decisively on these fears, physically relocating more than 110,000 people of Japanese ancestry, more than two-thirds of whom were American citizens, to 10 inland camps across Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming. Many more temporary detention centers and assembly centers dotted the American landscape in 1942.

cnn is getting theirs today withe class action lawsuit from blacks.They will look so good with that broke of in their ass.
I had a relative who was AT Pearl Harbor when it was attacked. Her father was in the Navy.
She told me that there was a beauty shop just outside of Pearl staffed by Japanese women. When Navy wives were in the beauty shop, the staff would ask them casually what ship their hubby was on, where it was, etc.
Right after the attack, Navy Intel searched the beauty shop. They had a short wave radio in the back room.
I’ll bet that is NOT in the history books.
Another anecdote: I know a guy in Mason, Texas whose father was a petty officer in the US Navy. He told me his Dad was on active duty in 1939 in CHINA leading an infantry company against the Japanese. This remained secret for many years until his Dad told him.
I think Roosevelt authorized such secret missions knowing that we would have to engage the Empire in the Pacific sooner or later.
I’ll bet that one is not in the history books either.

MAGIC is very interesting in that it includes reproductions of many original letters, intel items, etc, in the book. It contains its own footnotes on many items, as it were.
It wouldn’t surprise me if it were a main source for Malkin’s book.
One of the most horrific slaughters and atrocities in human history - The Rape of Nanking - is hardly discussed.
It is almost as if it never happened.
But hey......we put Japanese in internment camps.....
There were survivors in the Arizona trapped in the hull who survived for two weeks who could not be rescued. Members of the US Navy refused to walk their watch after the bombing, because the could not stand to hear the banging by the trapped men.
EFF U CNN.
Since there was no declaration of war, weren’t they all noncombatants?

One is going to blend into the country they are joining. The other intends to import and impose their own culture.
They were still loyal citizens of Japan for the most part.
We need to remember this as the mohammedans move in. They are not immigrants or refugees, they are colonists.
And that was the last war we won.
“Incidentally, the Hawaii Japanese were not interned for the practical reason that Hawaii could not function without the Japanese labor force.”
Some were,but very few.
.
Instead the all of Hawaii was placed under marshal law - which was not an option for the entire Pacific west coast. Also incidentally, Japanese not living along the Pacific coast were not interned and Pacific coast Japanese were allowed to relocate to the interior rather than be interned.
Though it happened almost exactly 15 years before i was born i have NEVER felt apologetic for what my country did, had to do or evolved into after this attack. I am more disgusted with the MSM today and their cowardly despicable agenda of false news and drama building that creates buzzfeed and adverising agendas.I would support MSM members being interred in camps if we had another major attack upon America. They need to know in the strongest of terms notice has geen given, will they chose poorly?
My father was born in Italy, but was a naturalized American citizen. Not only was there no bias against him, he served in the Navy for two years.
As for the Japs, the US had broken the Jap code, and learned the names of individual Japanese-Americans who were either spying for Japan or ready to commit sabotage. To round up only them would have tipped the Japs that we'd broken their code. So instead the Japs were all rounded up.
Granted, not a good solution, but about the best one under the circumstances. Definitely not the "racism" the leftists have been trying to pin on the US ever since.
Bookmarked.
You are a worthless POS troll...Get back to DU from which you crawed out...
SL, sarcasm isn’t your thing, is it? Because I know KC and that was sarcasm on his part.

Funny. Here is series of 7 articles I wrote about the NY TIMES and what their current editors would have done during WW II - http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1842472/posts?page=3
