From The Journal of Ben Uchida: Citizen 13559 Mirror Lake Internment Camp On Novembber 27, the Los Angeles Times Travel section ran a story about how not all National Park Service locations are places with trees and camping; some are all historical-like, such as two locations of former internment camps for Japanese-Americans on the West Coast who were ordered to leave their homes under FDR's notorious Executive Order 9066. It's a nice standard travel piece about how the Park Service attempts to curate history for visitors, with a nice quote from Myron Floyd, a professor at North Carolina State University, who said the Park Service is dedicated to preserving such places because "these are places or histories of national significance [....] These aren’t just sites of Japanese American history or African American history. They are sites of
Say, wasn't it also nice of us to take their property away for, you know "safekeeping?" Because people would have totally vandalized all that rich farmland here in California owned by Japanese Americans. Luckily, we had white farmers willing to accept that land at a discount! MERICA!
Sounds to me like all of those folks arguing in favor of the detention are a bunch of liberals, wanting to tout how the Japanese got free stuff from the government, like food and a place to live. Thank god the alt-right among us know the importance of Freedom, which is why the right wingers back then were in favor of letting the Japanese go to fend for themselves! And to give them guns protected by our sacred second amendment rights!Or . . . have I got that wrong . . . .?
Just in case you have an idiot in the family, stuff them in the old family jalopy and head out to Cody Wyoming, then go east a bit util you get to THIS garden spot, http://www.heartmountain.org/ OH! The fun you'll have getting mansplaned how it weren't really all that bad! You know...when you can spot your tears long enough.
Some fucko writing to the LA Times: "Japanese have an extremely strong attachment to family, and even more so back then. First-generation and, to a lesser extent, Japanese here would have been expected to follow the wishes of their elders in Japan. Some, most or almost all might have refused, but the threat was there."
So I guess "family values" are now bad things, according to the extremely flexible standards of right-wing morons. Godless liberals allegedly hate the family, here's a right-wing moron saying Japanese-Americans were too attached to the family model. Is there any alleged principle that these people can't twist into a pretzel?
No no no, learn your wingnut. Family values is GOOD for white folks who do white things that happen to not be socialist cause that would be bad but keep your government out of my medicare.
Did the Nissai ever get paid for the homes and business they had taken from them?
It'd be nice if one could tell from looking at it. Like I said, not very well done. A reader shouldn't have to be figuring out what it means.
maybe whoever he pissed off got out before he did? or someone higher up the chain got pissed at the same guy? LOL@
and east.

Because it's easier to spot Asians! Can't discriminate what you can't tell apart! We might have locked up some Irish or Brits, for God's sake!
If you were interred, you could get up to $20,000 max. Those kids of those intered who imagined inheriting the house or farm who SOL.
He was. For three months.
My favorite bass singer. A real natural. Enjoy.
Never forget that the LA Times is still a remarkably crappy paper.
Stupid people never admit mistakes.
