A people with no history have no future. For now, I'm content to vote for Trump and see what happens. November is going to be interesting, regardless of who wins. If he pulls it off, I could see Dems going full big igloo. Not sure the leadership could stop it if they wanted to.

Perfect reason to get rid of Black History Month.

It's a good way to otherize blacks. Treat them as if their history is a separate, lesser thing. Morgan Freeman was right when he said black history is American history. You can't tell the story of America without blacks and vice versa. Trying to separate and orherize one points to rather nefarious goals. Like keeping them feeling ostracized so they'll continue to vote as a bloc for the party that constantly promises change and delivers nothing.

It's because it's not really a thing. It's a collection of stories from certain individuals who were noteworthy. As a narrative, it falls apart because these people had basically nothing in common except they were black.

They could add one for the 442nd, but that would expose what the Democrats did to the Japanese here and their descendants. Better to just erase history altogether.

Dunno about the States, but up here we ALSO incarcerated people with German citizenship. Including German Jews. But that's not much talked about, is it?

And from TODAY'S perspective? No, I DO NOT take the loyalty of a new immigrant for granted. Yeah, you could back then, MAYBE. But I sure as hell don't see anything wrong in hairy-eyeballing someone who still has their "home country's" citizenship ...

I don't think the loyalty of ANYONE can be taken for granted. Most antifags are homegrown after all.

In the US, Germans were also subjected to the same deal as Japanese and Italians. Which also happened during not just WWII, but also WWI.

Of course that doesn't get taught at anywhere near the same level (If at all, since I never learned this in school) of the Japanese internment camps, despite being the same thing happening at the same time.

The most I've been taught about the persecution of German Americans during the world wars was that we renamed foods like Hamburg Steak to remove any connection to their Germanic origins

The reason I bring up 442 is because Democrats imprisoned and stole from people based on their homeland and their parents' homeland. The 442 were natural born citizens who were forced to fight in a war that had nothing to do with them or be put in a cage. This was before critical race theory and Soros judges. Imagine what they could do now.

I mean a lot of people were forced to fight since there was still a draft back then. I’d argue that the 442nd were forced to undertake missions that were of higher risk since their losses were deemed more acceptable due to the fact that they were primarily made up of Japanese-Americans. Which is why they are the most decorated unit in the US Army, since they kept surviving missions that should have wiped them out.

At some point people need to say ENOUGH.

Those people died for this nation.

We should stop discussing the holocaust for lack of diversity.

99% of the victims where white so they probably deserved it.
