BS: Reparations PART 2 Japanese get PAID!

[benedictdegwyn]

in 1872 my great great great great grandfather had his wallet stolen by a black slave (who was vacationing in england). so... any reparation supporters wanna stand up and foot the bill? i'll give some of the money to a black guy whose ancestor (so distant now, they might not even be considered related in a legal sense) was a slave, or at least i would if my danish jew ancestors weren't so damn tight fisted... or we could all just get over it this whole thing, move forward a little. whatever.

[Joeybsmooth]

Funny how the fat jerk thinks it is OK that Japanese people got them but not black people . You know racism on black people did not even with slavery there were things such as Jim Crow and Blacklaws. But since it black people it is not important .

[backwoodsninja]

@Joeybsmooth So, were you yourself a victim of this, or was it just people who looked like you? That's the point the "fat jerk" was making. The Japanese who got paid were the actual individuals who were victimized, not their great-grandchildren 100 years later.

[Joeybsmooth]

@backwoodsninja

I guess you don't know when the civil right movement happen, At the same time these people were put in to camps black people were still second class in America. But since they were not the model monitory people like forget about that.

[backwoodsninja]

@Joeybsmooth So how do you fix that?

[Joeybsmooth]

@backwoodsninja

How about giving them money like you need to japanese. Think about this black people were were second class in America tax dollars when to pay someone else for there oppression. And Penn thinks that is good.

[backwoodsninja]

@Joeybsmooth I'd be fine with it if we're talking about paying damages to the actual victims.

[SpiderShane1]

Penn is a true anarchist at heart. Libertarian socialist, anarchist, whatever. Same shit.

Go Penn, you rock.

[LTS1287]

I'm Cuban. The Spaniards wiped out the native people of the Carribean. Guess what...I don't give two shits. I'm living in America. I don't demand reparations from anyone. Get...the...fuck...over it.

[mistereveready]

@LTS1287 More like all those who deserve compensation are dead. Human history is a huge mess of violence, slavery, and religious bullshit to be able to arbitarily go through and denote who gets what when. Especially since not all of the victims were innocent themselves (ie black slavers, cruel monarchy's & etc). I say we just try to keep things civil now and give everyone fair treatment. Person in need we help, regardless of heritage. But that's not likely to happen.

[Joeybsmooth]

@LTS1287

Yeah Cubans just get a free ride to citizenship.

[april0293]

well penn and teller are correct about the fact that race should not matter that is fine but after fucking someones shit up taking houses and shit PAY THEM BACK remember black wall st.?? no?? go look it up for yourself those people should have been payed back but did not recieve a goddamn penny FUCK america

[blueiguy1]

@april0293 Whites don't want to remember and thus don't care..

[darthrubberchicken]

penn's got a good idea. let's all fuck....ladies?

[mumbles005]

@darthrubberchicken you take the black chicks. I'll get the asians. deal?

[TheDanielWooi]

Fuck everyone. I can do that.

[timetodepop]

Now...Few people even acknowledge that the US Gov had concentration camps just like Germany and that it was ethnically targeted....What if, Germany or Japan had bombed the supply lines day and night like the allies did in Germany...leading to sickness and starvation...causing the death of millions...Would we have called it a holocaust?...

[RandyZakk76]

@timetodepop I dont think the Veterans of Pear Harbor would agree with your example sir. No records unearthed yet describing any December surprise attacks by the Jewish people on the nation of Germany. Also you are saying that the Allies share blame for the starvation and sickness in German concentration camps because THEY bombed supply runs? Where the guards sick and starving too? A little adjustment may be necessary to get your true point across...

[timetodepop]

@RandyZakk76

Actually Randy...The guards were sickened with typhoid...Some died and other abandoned their posts...The allies actually had no real knowledge of the camps or their purpose...they bombed the supply line according to standard protocol....As for December surprise attacks from Jews....One only needs to look at the damage done to Germany by The Balfour Declaration, and the hyperinflation caused by Jewish bankers to see that the attack was financial and an act of treason.

[RandyZakk76]

@timetodepop Hmm...i dont think i can feel comfortable with the Balfour Declaration as being a sympathetic reason for the attempted extermination of an entire religious people from your country. I dont want to take sides with the whole Jewish/Palestinian state issue here (basically because i just dont have the knowledge to judge either side.)

[timetodepop]

@RandyZakk76

Randy...There is no evidence that an extermination ever took place. The camps were not designed for such a purpose...The Holocaust has been the most terribly exaggerated event in all of history....Im not saying it never happened..The Jews were detained as a national security risk(which in my opinion they were)..Stripped of their possessions...and treated inhumanely ...But there were no gas chambers...Nobody went into an oven alive...No lamp shades were made...

[mumbles005]

@timetodepop i beg to differ. I have personally walked into the gas chamber in Dachau; about 10 miles from Munich. I have also seen 3 of the ovens used to burn the bodies, no info about them being alive when put into the oven but it wouldn't surprise me if it happened a few times.

[timetodepop]

@mumbles005

You walked into a gas chamber in Dachau?...You saw convincing evidence?..then why didn't you document what no one else has been able to document?....After having chemists visit that site and finding no evidence of a functioning gas chamber large enough to exterminate humans you can beg to differ all you want...The facts are crystal clear..the only Gas chamber in Dachau was used to disinfect clothing and other articles infested with lice..Not people...nice try

[mumbles005]

@timetodepop How much evidence do you expect me to find 60 years later on a guided tour? No, there were not any bodies on the floor when I walked in. I would like to see the peer reviewed results of those "chemists" not finding evidence of a gas chamber. I haven't looked personally but I am inclined to believe that the overwhelming evidence would be in in favor of there having been gas chambers. This is not too different than the god/evolution debate; evolution has the lead with evidence.

[timetodepop]

@mumbles005

You saw three ovens...Not evidence that people were burned alive, or victims of a mass extermination...Every large concentration camp on the planet has had a need for cremations and article burning...Could you have seen something used for those purposes?...Try cremating the number of bodies we are talking about...The mathematics and time allotted simply do not add up...unless your Al Gore

[mumbles005]

@timetodepop they were not killing everyone; only the sick, weak and old. It wouldn't make sense to kill able bodied people you could use for working parties. As far as the whole situation goes; there are countless independent witnesses with corroborating stories. Witnesses and the physical evidence are sufficient to convict someone in a court of law. Following the war they did just that; convicted many Germans of war crimes.

[albinoman13bt]

@mumbles005 I suppose getting sick and weak is what happens when you get little food and less shelter. I'm sure they gave nice warm cozy blankets to the barefoot prisoners for the winter. Come on man, do you think those videos of walking skeletons are faked?

[RandyZakk76]

Respond to this video... but i do know that whatever the Japanese people had to endure during their stay in the camps that we forced them into, while terrible, paled in comparison to the horrors of places like Auschwitz where people where lined up to be put to death. I also dont believe supply's headed for the camps were intended to benefit Jewish prisoners in anyway. So their non arrival, if anything would have just hurt the guards. And that i guess was just good old Karma...

[mumbles005]

@timetodepop bombing supply lines is small potatoes. We fire bombed whole cities; nuked 2 cities too.

[WHATISUTUBE]

This is INCREDIBLY tricky. Because, one; the money and commerce lost on the families part IS pretty big. WHY should they not be given the money they LOST due to government policies? Same thing for blacks. Difference, though, is that blacks had slavery ended 200 or so years ago. Plus, by this point it will simply cripple an economy that THEY ARE PART OF AND FULLY INTEGRATED INTO. That's right, folks, your black ancestors should have fought harder. Byt this point reperations are just retarded.

[mumbles005]

@WHATISUTUBE reparations to blacks at this point is stupid. No slave or child of a slave is living today. It would only serve to revive discrimination; with all the resentment people will have towards blacks following payment.

[Joeybsmooth]

@mumbles005

Do you know when the Civil right movement ended... yeah crap happen after slavery. In fact black people money when to repay the Japanese when at the same time they were second class.

[TAPriceCTR]

pen and teller are starting to convince me that I am libertarian rather than conservative moderate... they seem to agree with me on most topics.

[daveyboystephan]

It doesnt matter what race you are, we're all human beings on this planet. You think blacks had it hard, think about the Jews, even though Blacks had it hard for that 200 year period, the Jews has had it hard for centuries. Ya know, remember that thing called the Holocaust?

[WHATISUTUBE]

@daveyboystephan The difference is that Jews have an incredibly tightly knit community. I don't know how, but they did it and it's payed off in FULL.

[april0293]

@daveyboystephan you are clearly not very well educated if you knew anything about slavery you would know it lasted over 400 years blacks were only recently made "equal" with whites in the 60's/ early 70's get your shit together

[metriodz]

Fuck everyone so that everyone is every race and no single person can be one sole race? I'm up for it!

[metriodz]

Fuck everyone so there will be all mixed race and no one will be a specific race? I'm up for it!

[JesseQuick23]

well the problem at the end is that its idealist. I mean yah, i would like to be less of a tibalist. But for as long as anyone can look at my skin and judge me I will always be a member of that "tribe." Sux but true. Also "Everyone fuck everyone." Words of wisdom, not even kidding.

[YSFmemories]

When will the japanese issue a 20,000 worth of reparations and an apology to each of the tens of millions who suffered in China, Korea, Sinapore, Phillipines, Malaysia etc etc etc etc etc...?

Or even, when will the US and Canadian governments issue an apology and a full paycheck to the Chinese railroad workers, who were promised a dollar a day, but got less than half of that?

[Hjernespreng]

@YSFmemories

The Japanese have paid war reparations. That is what they call it. War reparations.

They pay the states they fucked over.

[YSFmemories]

@Hjernespreng Actually, they didn't pay China.

Of course a large part of the blame for that goes to Mao ZeDong.

[YSFmemories]

@Hjernespreng Oh, and paying the state is not the same thing as paying the people who suffered. How much of the money actually went to the families? None, I bet.

[Hjernespreng]

@YSFmemories

"How much of the money actually went to the families? None, I bet."

Exactly like in EVERY other war.

[Psychochaos3]

1:46 That dog seriously doesn't want to fucking let go.

[levlowell]

@neveraloneforever cool. I did not know that but I still don't agree with it

[azrael37]

whats sad is most kids these day don't even know about this...

[TheCrayonMan529]

i dont want to marry a coon

[Herv3]

@TheCrayonMan529 How about an asian or a latino? :p

[TheCrayonMan529]

@Herv3 no way, i will not ever marry a chink, spic, sand nigger, porch monkey, or kike

[Herv3]

@TheCrayonMan529 Wow, I don't think it's possible to say anything more racist. Why don't you advocate some genocide in your next post? You got some issue that you should work on.

[levlowell]

Reparations won't help black americans IMO. The only way is to better black communities and neighborhoods, education is key.

Also, no black american is a former slave so if reparations must be paid, it should haven been when former slaves were still alive.

[NeverAloneForever]

@levlowell That last slave died in the '50's, I believe.

[EricLynchSucks]

You know...It wasnt just the Japanese that was shoved in prisons..Germans and Italians were also shoved in prisons. Just to let everyone know.

[CubeThink]

no more races, so no more racism? how do you feel about speaking Spanish?

[Epidemechanical]

What's different about the japanese situation during WWII was that it demonstrated how meaningless the US bill of rights really is. Military orders and the executive branch will always be capable of shredding your personal liberties at any time - which transforms "rights" into "privileges." We have freedom cause our government LETS us have freedom. At any point it can be taken away, and there isn't a goddamn fucking thing anyone can do about it.

[Watcher3223]

"What's different about the japanese situation during WWII was that it demonstrated how meaningless the US bill of rights really is."

Not necessarily.

What I mean is that the Bill of Rights and the Constitution are only as good as the people who uphold and honor them.

The ideas and philosophies these documents communicate can be worth more than the fortunes of the world or can be worth less than the paper they're written on; it's all on how people, both elected and citizens, value them.

[HeadToucher]

So Japs got reparations and Blacks didn't? More American double-standards

[leedaomillz]

@HeadToucher

No black person living in America today has been enslaved by white Americans, There are some Japanese Americans who have been effected by white Americans that are living today....

[HeadToucher]

@leedaomillz , idiot, the effects of slavery still linger. The past effects the future. Just ask all the Indians on reservations suffering from deep depression. Not only does America owe us reparations but also child support since a lot of White men inpregnated slave women. The rabbit hole goes deep

[leedaomillz]

@HeadToucher

Tell me how any black American is still affected by slavery today.

[raptorkiller2k5]

@leedaomillz. Black Americans who were descended from slaves based in US were certainly affected by slavery. One just has to quickly observe the great socio-economic disparity within those communities. However, more government (including government-led reparations) isn't going to solve that problem. The irony is that government is led to segregation. Regulations against the establishment of cottage industries, abolishing child labor laws and minimum wage would maximize investment in ghettos.

[solidysnake1]

black people have to help themselves. Japanese, Jewish, Chinese did help themselves in America. They were decedents of landless peasants who came to america for work.

[schadenfreudelolz22]

@solidysnake1 Same with Irish, Italians, basically any and everybody.

[raptorkiller2k5]

@solidysnake1. Government needs to limit itself. Regulations against cottage industry, decrepit public schools need to go. Black youths today are forced into sell arms and drugs in dangerous environments, where fatality rates rival the poorest African nations. This has a lot to do with these youths being considered over priced due to child labor and minimum wage laws. If these barriers didn't exist, blacks youths could absorb knowledge and skill (thru private investment) and compete.

[gothstar14]

@supanapps fuck reperations.

[blameYTandvoteObama]

At 05:07 ... he dreams of "No more races and no more racism."

Well, unfortunately this will never happen due to liberal progressive Democrat movement pushing "diversity" upon us. Look at any college or University website and you will now find a "diversity" agenda rather than a "better yourself and achieve" agenda.

[blameYTandvoteObama]

@blameYTandvoteObama

And then there's the government's Affirmative Action program which constantly reminds people they are of a particular race when filling out a job application.

Oh, and don't forget, the human resources training programs that most business now have where they focus on racial diversity rather than teamwork and harmony.

[Tommo108]

3:50 i have never seen a japanese guy with that much facial hair xD

[57StatesofAmerica]

6 million Japanese didn't die in these camps completely different to the German concentration camps i'd say. And there was no blood shed to release them.

[AndreGDJ]

Right, everyone fuck everyone else...starting from...wait for it...NOW!

[Monponsett]

It would have been Wrong But Funny if they tested the atomic bomb there.

[Marxistrebel88]

Being 'colorbind' is a bullshit racist myth. It's easy to say that you "don't see race" when you are part of the dominant group and will never be searched, beaten, or shot dead by racist cops, will never be put in a prison camp because your deemed a 'security threat'.

[DonMeaker]

I kind of like the differences in physical characteristics. Them feren girls are cute!

[l3tl3v]

I agree with Penn completely... and guess what? I'm not fucking white

[Marxistrebel88]

And guess what?There's no way to tell if your 'fucking white' or not, and anyways, it's not fucking relevant. Your personal opinion does not cancel out 400 years of slavery, Jim Crow, and lynchings. It does not cancel out the systematic racism that still exists in the American education, prison, and health care systems. I don't give a shit about your opinion and whether Penn and Teller jerkoffs 'offend' you or not. It doesn't change the facts.

[SupremeTestrun]

@l3tl3v The funny thing is i reached this..enlightenment long ago.and its only now someone is making sence and saying what must be said.Penn is absolutly right,people think their not racests but still view people with their races and as long as they see the world in colours like that they will always be racest to their core.(To clarify:I said i reached enlightenment and i am awear others have too not just me,Theres more but not enough space to fully exprase my views on this topic.)

[FatherTime89]

@l3tl3v What let me guess you're a member of the only race not mentioned in this episode: Hispanic. Right?! I'm kidding though so please don't get angry.

[Herv3]

@l3tl3v But you're fucking smart!

[richzimmer]

@l3tl3v : I agree with Penn completely... and I am White.

[MastrBlastrStudios]

you know, germany did something similar to this

[zombieiscool]

Japanese Spies... Citizens?

[stevencool104]

"Everyone fuck everyone"

No thanks, I like not being a brown, no race and heritage shell of a proud white man.

[scotplaya]

Overall for this episode

Japanese- deserved it

Black- no more former slaves.

Native Americans- Only a Vegas man would attack them.

[Sharangir]

Are you fucking kidding me? Japanese Americans getting locked up in a camp because America happens to be at war with Japan?

[scotplaya]

@Sharangir- i meant they deserved the reparations.

[volcom13xx]

what happened to the Japanese was horrible.....they really do deserve reparations...not african americans

[volcom13xx]

what name calling are you talking about?

[andyrooney11]

What FDR did was wrong and the whole internment camp system operated by General Dewitt was a horrible & racist thing to do...with that said I think it is important to get the facts straight. THERE WERE LOTS OF JAPANESE SPIES IN THE UNITED STATES! Surely P&T could have easily found two people that were just ordinary honest people but that doesn't mean that there were no spies. The government should have come up with a better plan to deal with those spies only & not just imprison all Japanese ppl.

[scotplaya]

including germen and italian spies.

[Maqqa27]

Mc Grath?!

No offence but Americans couldn't pronounce things right if they were paid for it.

[TheGreaterGood80]

"if they were paid for it."

*paid to do it, Mr. Semantics

lol

[crickettitties]

'pronounce things CORRECTLY'

<3 america

[Maqqa27]

No, I was correct in my use of right as an adverb. It's grammatically correct.

And I wasn't insulting America, only making an unserious generalisation about Americans.

[SpectralViral]

go fuck your self, jews have suffered waaaaayy more than black people. In fact, the god that they have subscribed to has punished them for going out of line by nearly having them extinct and the blacks are complaining about how reparations should be made for their suffering. in fact they are indirectly suffering right now, QED your racism

[SpectralViral]

clearly this is a form of anti-semitism, and you are going to hell, or not exist for it.

[Truthrightnow7]

You are not God, and obviously you have read the bible for yourself, Look at Alex Jones on You-tube he takes about the fake jews. You may be going to hell but, I am not. I am not against hebrew israelites and I know the truth. Keep your insults to yourself. Some people always start insulting people when they can not handle the truth. This is your only weapon, when your mind is weak.

[Sharangir]

Alex Jones is a joke.

[crickettitties]

dude the 400 years of slavery in america doesnt compare to the thousands of years of slavery in africa by africans that exists today.

[SpectralViral]

same thing with the jews, blacks and jews have suffered for 4000 years. Sadly some of this is by God's hand... is that racist and as for truthrightnow, sadly, we do not know who is going to hell, but we do know who is not going to heaven, and it certainly it not you either. Your closed mindedmess is what kills your intellectual ascension into heaven... if there is one.

[Truthrightnow7]

SpectraViral you were the one who insulted me and said I was going to hell.Then I put the ball back in your court.

[mmmmmarcus]

Using the term "racist" by pointing out that people are different is no different than a skinhead calling an african american "nigger".. Because you acknowledge them as "races" that in itself is racist. You are a self-righteous, pompous hypocrite. WHAT the fuck makes you think you know whos going to hell? Why wouldnt your ass be going to hell? You condemned your fellow man to hell to look like a "good" human. You make me sick. Dont bother replying. I will just ignore it.

[SpectralViral]

Don't call me a hypocrite, you fucking piece of shit, because you are insulting me by calling me self-righteous, hypocrite, and you are making a claim of superiority, by calling me an idiot and makes yourself a hypocrite by claiming that you feel everyone else is equal, and yet you tell me that I am worse than you. In that case you are just as shit as me, fuck head.

[mmmmmarcus]

Thats stupid, i never called you an idiot. I just said you were a pompous hypocrite. You damn bible thumpers always like to lie, dont you?

[SpectralViral]

no am not lying, that is what you were implying whether you wanted to or not, you said I was hypocritical and self-righteous, which must must be your definition of an idiot.

Tell you what, I am not a bible thumper but if I was I would say that you do deserve to go to hell for telling me that I think that I am better than you, I was defending someone on their behalf. And why don't you just fuck off now, I am getting tired with arguing with stupid atheists anyway.

[Truthrightnow7]

This is true,it so sad what is going on in Africa is horrible,they go through alot.

[SpectralViral]

Yes they do, it is true. I feel sorry for Jews and Blacks, I wish I could do something about it, but sadly with out no evil, there is no need for good to exist.

[Aegidia01]

... that makes no sense. If it weren't for the fact humans can be total bastards to each other, we wouldn't need to be kind? I understand that the concept of good, like the concept of light, can only exist when one takes the other options into account, but that reasoning does not extend to our actions. It is not the existence of bad actions that makes a particular action morally right.

[LovelyYTRocks]

Lol, they had a white face on.
