its pathetic how some americans think it was acceptable to do such things just because the nazi did worse. remember, these were japanese AMERICANS. these were u.s. citizen being mistreated by they're own country. you may not consider this to be a death camp, but people were beaten randomly in these camps. some people were not allowed to have medical help when they were sick. you called this a "land of the free"?
Japan never attacked Pearl Harbor and if they did FDR knew about it but i highly doubt the former. They just wanted to drop a bomb on a poor japanese country. And how do you accuse a country of having a concentration camp and then make one of your own? God damn. Are people are so fucking stupid that they actually believe blindly whats being fed to them? It's actually funny. Good thing i'm not a sheep.
Jewpanese want sympathy for their ordeal during WW2. It's too bad they were starved, tortured, sashimied, and murdered, oh no wait, that's how Americans were treated in their camp.
@8thprecinct you should watch what you say because to me that's completely racist it was a bad decision on both sides and it all started because of things like racism by the way I am not Japanese I am a proud Latina.
People have to look at in from FDR's point of view as well. He had a choice, have the majority of Americans live in fear of spies and attacks to eliminate that fear by making internment camps. He choose the lesser of two evils by doing what the majority of Americans wanted to happen.
have they apologized for this? like kevin rudd apologizing recently to the aboriginals.
if not, that's pretty bad, but people will always be discriminative to the people that attacked their country. take for example the latest war, the afghanistani people. most die-hard americans absolutely hate every single one of them with no reason or have never talked to them
Most of these people were Americans "Born and raised in America" but with japanese decent. Some joined the american military to fight the japanese and preserve your freedom. It's all exterior what people judge. If you have a guy from Sudan and a guy from Bosnia come here in the states. Americans would think oh its just a white guy and a black guy. But if you have a Asian American here in the states, it would be like he probably doesn't speak any english. He is not from here.
what did the japanese expect when they bombed pearl harbor? how stupid can they be? that bomb was not because we were trying to be evil it was payback and like they say REVENGE IS A DISH BEST SERVED COLD
Imagine the Japanese had bombed out all our railroads and infrastructure so that we could not transport food and medicine to the camps, then imagine they invaded on the ground and liberated the camps.
What would the camps have looked like and what would the Japanese have said?
Law abiding Japanese Americans were placed in these camps, but this was never seen as racist. On top of that, the Japanese Americans enlisted to fight for our country, wow... there should be more interesting movies or media exposure on this subject, not brushed aside or ignored.
Oh, but you probably think we should intern all muslims/middle easterners becasue you're some stupid redneck. Ironic how you call me inbred... No matter what insults we exchange, teh fact remains that it is not moral (or legal) to imprison and confiscate the property of american citizens. I fail to see how standing up for good and human rights "pussifies" a country... sick.
America has moved somewhat on from typecasting the Japanese. Its time to typecast the Muslims for maybe 40 years. Then, who knows? Maybe the British again? Maybe China. Ah choices choices.
oh and the united states provoked the Japanese to do bomb peral habor...so they can bomb the Japanese and join the war so the international bankers can loan money to both sides of the war so the bankers can make alot of money...its all about money and power
In 2012 if we as in the people in the United Sates no matter what race your are...yes this means you too white people...will all be sent to FEMA camps known as concentration camps as they did in WW2 in Germany to the Jews...America already did it to the Japanese AMERICANS...what makes you think they wont do it again...first they will attack the aliens, then blacks, then latinos, then who ever is against government control...wake up people before its too late
Of course they did not place German-Americans in these camps or drop the A-Bomb on the germans because this goverment and it's people has always been hypocritical and prejudice,and always will be.
Omg people, this was forever ago! if ANYBODY else attacked us they would of done the exact same thing, this is when every country had its own raise, there hardly were immigrants anywhere in the world, if germany woulda attacked us, they would of done the same thing to Germans
@HeroicLarvy um no, there were immigrants ALL over the place. As for if people of a different race attacked us, well it's hard to tell if Americans would put them in concentration camps, we dont know.
@HeroicLarvy We did not imprison German-American citizens when we entered war against Germany nor did Italian-Americans receive such treatment. This act was purely bigoted and racist.
that is you guys fault! Japanese made the world war 2.
don't beg sympathy here anymore. never pitiful.
too many innocent people was dead by japan!
don't you feel any sorry to the world?
if you feel it, don't distort true history by textbook..and say true history like Germeny. that is for making a good relationship with neighbor country..
Japan's gorverment sent Korean young girls(12~39 years old)to japanese soldiers for rape. they had to been raped more than 10 times every day
@71021015 Those Japanese people who we put inside the internment camps were also Americans. It's not right to punish someone for being a certain race.
Yeah cuz some kid who was born in California whose parents are Japanese raped Korean girls. Your logic fails, these were American citizens you retard, not Japanese. To recieve a severe ass whopping, refer to my comment directed at the other faggot who tried to justify the concentraction camps.
the japanese were given the oportunity to work??? what a dumbass !!!! the fucking military gave them spoiled food, took away human dignity, healthcare was poor! lots of women who gave birth died of hemorrage and not having a descent medical treatment christians principles? my ass! this is every republicans & tea party dream ! stupid Ashcroft remember after 9/11?
No no let's not compare these camps to concentration camps you dimwitted idiots. The USA never made it legal to kill them. They were fed, housed, and given the opportunity to work. So all of you comparing The USA with the atrocities committed by the Nazis please do some research on Japan's War crimes.
WOW! I mean when we (The Americans) went to take the Jews out of the concentration camps we thought what the Nazis did was horrible. But we did the same thing to the Japanese! Maybe not to the same extent, but it was still bad. Discrimination against any group of people is bad. I know that the Americans back then were trying to be safe but not every Japanese person was bad.
are you calling my grandparents and great grandparents liars!!! are you calling millions of jews and homosexuals and gypsies and jehovah's witnesses liars? are you calling them liars?? there are thousands of video testimonies of these survivors? if you don't believe me than believe steven speilberg!! then believe them. go to the website.
They never taught me this in school. Why? They only taught me on school about the so called 6 million jews who where gassed. But noting about this, and the 80 million ppl who died in WW2.
FUCK THE ILLUMINATI, FUCK THE NWO, FUCK THE ZIONIST CONTROL OF THE WORLD!
First off this is this is disgusting what was done her in th US and all that crap that is was it's justified because of war is bs, the only spies found here during this time where white Americans and not one jap, but we also shouldn't say this is just like what the Nazis did cuz that's bull too what they did can't even be compared to this
@fuzzypaws17 Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib, though they're not labor camps, they're worse. I actually don't like FDR, I learned all about him. I'm sure there is more for us all to learn about him. He wasn't just a bad president, the guy was horrible as a person. He was a racist. I hate bigots.
@spartacandream Persons in that camp are not law abiding citizens. They are Terrorists. They are not innocent women and children but TERRORISTS! Come on man stop being so stupid about this. No one in that facility were torn out of their home in the USA and thrown there! No camps like this exist anymore that places innocent men, women and children from the streets of the USA under martial law...
@fuzzypaws17 Yes, much of them are terrorists, but some are not. They're suspected terrorists, which means that they're being imprisoned without having been actually charged with a crime, nor proven that they committed one.
u stop bitching, you killed 1 millions japaense soldiers and 960 000 civilians . and they killed only 100 000 of yours. U.s. dont seem to know what its liek to lose man. so at least stop pissing other countries off and mind ur own country.
@stridetide155 u stop bitching, you killed 1 millions japaense soldiers and 960 000 civilians . and they killed only 100 000 of yours. U.s. dont seem to know what its liek to lose man. so at least stop pissing other countries off and mind ur own country. are u even a jew?
Pay attention, Americans. Don't ever forget the mistakes of our past. The Progressives don't care about Constitutional rights. They did it once, they'll do it again.
@BowToMySkill no they weren't were the japanese murdered just for being japanese? were they stuck into cattle cars that were meant for 3 cows but there were almost 80 people per car? were the japanese stuck into gas chambers? were there killing factories for them. Were six million murdered!? How dare you say that!
I'm not saying that what America did was right but they weren't treated worse than the Jews!
@daughterofzeuslol the gas chambers are a myth created by holywood. and tell me why 1 million german-american POW's were murdered underm President Eisenhowers orders.
The only reason why Japanese Interment Camps were more publicized then German and Italain Interments Camps is because their were more Japanese Interment Camps along the Western Coastal States (especially in California) and in fact, one of those camps was built near 10 minutes away from where I live now, which was once a Horse Racing Track before WWII.
I'm a freshman in high school and just figured out about these terrible camps today, while I've known about the concentration camps for years. Why the fuck wasn't I told about something like this until I'm 15
@Pokefan43v3r I learned about this when I was in high school too. I just thought to myself "oh they did that because the japs had spies"... but schools have have become more anti-american and liberal since then. So they probably fed you with some "oh they were racist" stuff...
not that bad?!?!?!? it was hardcore bad!!!! u should hear the grewsome details on what happened to them!!! all there money in the bank... gone, homes?... gone!!! they were brutally tortured!!!! from a simulation of drowning to being pored gasoline on your hands to get the skin off, cut in places where you wont die, and get ur nails pulled of lf by pliers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this video is totally biased... it was not even that bad. its not like they were killed or forced to be slaves. they gave them proper homes, free food, and they were schooled. U.S. just did not want to take a risk on the enemy attacking american civilians on our own ground. Plus there was a test they could take to show they were not a threat and had american values and were released.
Good Job... I am not Japanese American, I am Caucasean (not that, THAT matters) but I found your video because of listening to a Special from George Takei about how HIS family was taken from their homes and forced to live in horse stables. He did this special on one of the Howard Stern Channels on Sirius-XM radio...Its compelling and I enjoyed your video. Thank You
@FearghusMuir America and other Allied nations knew about the German concentration camps. The thing is the didn't know they were death camps. Allies didn't find out until they started liberating some of them in late 1944 and 1945. Oh, and I think you mean hypocrite.
@ELcapalla2 Or course they do that by flying over Germany occupied countries prisons all the time and take pictures for evidence. I think that why they knew.
Yes, but we didn't know they were death camps. America wasn't alone though. Canada did the same thing to the Japanese, and I'm pretty sure the British had internment camps for the Germans as well.
This is so sad, and I think it is terrible that I never heard about the Japanese American internment until I was a freshman in college. Good job with this video 3tooth, hope you got an A.
I would have put them in camps out of paranoia from what the Japanese did to the Chinese in 1937. They raped over 300,000 Chines women, killed them after they raped them. Some held their children as they cut the heads off of their babies and mothers and photographed it. They held head cutting competitions and murdered over 400,000 men and women in China. They deserved the Nuclear bomb they got and given their ethics precautions had to be taken. They were worse than Hitler.
@MrWalkingparadox The communist party killed more Chinese than Japanese ever did during their occupation in China. America also got their hands dirty just as bad as Japanese, like oh lets say the Iran contra affair (selling weapons to Iran at a huge profit to funnel funds for guerrillas while smuggling drugs in the USA, and they can't even convict Oliver North... hmmm). Japan imperialistically expanded, partly to counter assholes like America's Perry who forced japan by gun boat diplomacy.
The U.S. marginalized and slaughtered Indigenous Americans(Indians), killed and buralized slaves, put Japanese in concentration camps like if they were animals, lynched and marginalized black and now they have it against Mexicans. It seems like they are always looking for someone to screw over.
America was at war and war is hell! In times of war drastic and contriversial actions are made! You bleeding heart liberals need to understand that the Japanese were our enemies at the time and we needed to keep the enemy at check for the safety of our nation! The camps were necessary just like Guantanimo.
@nimitz1983 And what does that have to do with Japanese Americans? They were treated like crap, they "patriotically" enlisted in the US Army (many of which never made it back), fought not only in the European Theater but get this, Pacific Theater as well, AGAINST the empire of Japan. The 442nd had more congressional medals than any other regiment in history, and you still wanna say that we were the enemy?
@skynsidhawaii The 442nd Regimental Combat Team was the most decorated outfit in the US Army. The most CMH's went to the 3rd Infantry Division; among them, was 1st Lieutenant Audie Murphy.. Both, the 3rd Division and 442nd(attached to the 100th Infantry Battalion)were in the Italian Campaign..The Nisei battalion had 1 CMH, among their numerous decorations.. I did a term paper on this subject, while attending Hunter College..
Things like this make me laugh. I always hear conservatives telling me to respect america on the grounds that people died for my freedom. Land of the free? yea, for white people. Minorities such as black people struggled through the jim crow era, and japanese folk had internment to deal with. These japanese were american citizens. The internment camps made a mockery of our bill of rights.
@ThatGuyWhoSucksBoobz in our constitution, it clearly states, "All men are created equal", so there you have it. Except Blacks, cause we need them as slaves... and indians cause there savages and god gave this land to us... and women don't count either... neither does Italians, Poles, Jews, etc, etc, etc...
@Manifesto32 what's ironic is that Japanese Americans were sent to camps in fear of being spies but it was actually mostly whites who got arrested in spying against japan.
My Japanese neighbor was a victim of this cruel era. She was in her 70's and I was 20 something, in the 1960's. She described these camps as violent places for females. She confided that she had been raped there as a young girl. Miraculously she was not a bitter woman, but one of the sweetest people I ever met. I write this in her memory.
Were the camps a mistake? YES, but in no way do they compare to the crimes of the japanesse military. The Rape of Nanking were the Japanesse military killed for fun. Comfort Women, were women were kidnapped and forced into sexual slavery. Unit 731 was a covert biological and chemical warfare research and development unit of the Imperial Japanese Army that undertook lethal human experimentation during the Second Sino-Japanese War. And the Bataan Death March.
@fightingirishfan08 Extra precaution,maybe,but you are right-on.The Japanese were atrocious and were these people to be free,COULD HAVE BEEN CONVERTED INTO RABID FOLLOWERS OF THE EMPEROR!
@fightingirishfan08 And? We can easily compare that to many things the US has done among many other countries that have done shit to other countries. ETC.
@fightingirishfan08 That is a straw man argument. Japanese Americans didn't commit those crimes. It was a culture of fear that took hold, leading Americans to commit a human rights travesty.
You are wrong. China made up all the stories about Japan by giving money to American to write the book in English. Hollywood loved it and made a movie.
Chinese Communist education blame washed all the Chinese that is one of the big Propaganda today in China. China is evil and no rule and lie a lot .
There is no Nanking event. You are played by hollywood moves or what?
Propaganda and lie which China loves and they are all evils.
@fightingirishfan08 why would you even compare the 2?? they were both wrong. and the biggest crime is that the truths about theses camps are not taught in schools, its easyier to just forget about it. Th e mojority of people in these camps were american citizens with japanese heritagy, but citizens no less. Why is it that in the "land of the free" your rights can be taken away?? America is and still is the most repressive and war hungry country on the planat.
Almost all these people of Japanese descent lived and grew up in the U.S. all their life, why they have to bear the blame for what a government of a country they don't even know? Did they have to bear the blame because they had features of Japanese? Did they ever were Americans, because they had "Japanese traits"?
What does this have to do with innocent Japanese Americans? If the British attacked us, would we have done the same thing to people of British origin? No, because it was a racist and ignorant decision by FDR...
@ramnathusa Considering that they caught over 100 spies of Japanese origin in pearl harbor. They werent starved, and they didnt get worked. I have no idea where you got that from, and you act like it lasted for 100 years. It was only 6 months. get real people i'm not saying what the united states did was the right thing to do, but be fucking grateful that you werent the 12 million killed over in europe, but your case is worse you got bruises.
@ramnathusa This is one of the instances that America failed as a free democracy. This has nothing to do with Japanese or British or any other nationality. It goes to show that even America is not operate as the ultimate democratic government. Guantanamo Bay is also another example. How come these failures of us as a nation is not taught in our history books.
@hdd87 i don't think you guys realize the fundamental value of these "camps" it goes without saying that there WERE spies in the US and still to this day is, that we cannot stop, thankfully FDR did what he did because he very well may have saved thousands of lifes by instituting these camps in the 40's. it was war if i can remind you.. world war. he was not willing to take chances at any more attacks on home land. we may have been reading about more attacks if he did not. GO FDR!!
You must be fucking kidding. Anyone with even the slightest knowlegde of US history, or of basic moral principles would be fucking kidding. There were no Japanese American spies you ignorant fuck, they were all AMERICANS, over half of them were born here. 442nd infantry regiment in WW2, made up entirely of Japanese Americans, most decortated unit in American history. Out of 14,000 men- 9,486 purple hearts, 560 silver stars, 21 medals of honor. So shut the fuck up bitch.

@mastermagnum100 you must be fucking kidding, you think that there was no spies at all in america from japan? honestly? was it impossible? i dont think so. next your gonna tell me chem trails are real. as for the 442nd regiment yeah i heard of them. but as for the internment camps. good. they were a necarassy evil for the country. retard inbred pussies such as yourself and others that share common interests with you would pussify this country into the stone-age if u got control of it.
Where to start... ok, first of all, there were no spies in America. The closest thing you could say was those few german sabatuers that landed in the early 40s and even then they didn;t do anything. Seeing as there are no documented cases of Japanese spies, they obviously didn't do shit either. Even if there was, how do a few spies justify denying basic rights to American citizens? That's like sayng we should intern muslims becasue of teh conjecture that there a sleeper cells.
@mastermagnum100 i am not saying that any of those who were relaying information to the axis actually did shit to turn the tides of war, but i am saying that they WERE here. i am well aware there we few if any charged with espionage of any sorts. i was just stating my opinon about the interment camps. yes, many INNOCENT people were victimized and ofcourse i have sympathy for those were caught in the middle. but its the big-brother effect we did not want to take chances.
I see no proof that any were here. Your argument is pure conjuecture. So you would have wanted Germans and Italians interned as well? you should have, by your logic. The only reason we targeted the japanese was due to existing racial prejudice. I happen to know several people who were interned- try telling them that it was for the "greater good". Some won't even fly US flags becasue they were betrayed by their own country, just like German Jews were in the holocaust.
@Mr1963chevy keep people safe? Do me a favor. Stop watching the news, turn off your tv and then throw it into the trash.......... Now open your fucking eyes. Things seem much clearer now dont' they?
@fightingirishfan08 Just because someone else did worse does not deny the fact that the US was very wrong in its actions. Also, the Japanese Americans who were interned were not even connected to all the heinous things that Japan did. More than sixty percent of them were loyal American citizens, born and raised here.
hAHA wow so they were in camps what about them bombing america or them usig bio attacks on innocent chinese people in war theres no good and theres no bad theres hate
(Part1)Japan had no intention of starting the war against China, and immediately ordered the front army not to expand the battle beyond and cease fire swiftly and peacefully, as the Emperor Showa (Hirohito) so strongly wished. The cease-fire agreement was reached in four days. However, China broke the agreement. Japan reluctantly dispatched three more divisions on July 27 to North China. On the 29th, in the city of Tungchow (Thongzhou),
(Part2) some 250 Japanese residents were murdered by the Chinese troops, and this incident was being called the 'Tungchow Massacre'. In August 1937, the Japanese government formulated the peace proposal. Both the Japanese Army and Navy agreed to this peace proposal. What this proposal implied was that all the interests Japan had acquired since the Manchurian Incident should become nullified. This was indeed a drastic concession, which Japan had ever conceded.
(Part3)However, the peace negotiation between Japan and China crumbled immediately due to the incident in which two soldiers were slaughtered in Shanghai on the very day the peace negotiation started in shanghai between Japan and China. The KMT was building up their troops in great number in Shanghai. During that time, there were a large number of Japanese residents. To defend them, there was only one defending unit consisting of 4,000 combatants.
I am no American, but American are kind of good people. You fucking Japanese were so lucky, Look at

I would have put them in camps out of paranoia from what the Japanese did to the Chinese in 1937. They raped over 300,000 Chines women, killed them after they raped them. Some held their children as they cut the heads off of their babies and mothers and photographed it. They held head cutting competitions and murdered over 400,000 men and women in China. They deserved the Nuclear bomb they got and given their ethics precautions had to be taken. They were worse than Hitler.

@MrWalkingparadox The communist party killed more Chinese than Japanese ever did during their occupation in China.

Japan imperialistically expanded, partly to counter assholes like America's Perry who forced japan by gun boat diplomacy.

(Part2) some 250 Japanese residents were murdered by the Chinese troops, and this incident was being called the 'Tungchow Massacre'. In August 1937, the Japanese government formulated the peace proposal. Both the Japanese Army and Navy agreed to this peace proposal. What this proposal implied was that all the interests Japan had acquired since the Manchurian Incident should become nullified. This was indeed a drastic concession, which Japan had ever conceded.

To defend them, there was only one defending unit consisting of 4,000 combatants.
