I really want to like FDR more, but the whole Japanese internment thing really puts a bad taste in my mouth.
In those times, the WHOLE WORLD was at War. Nobody knew if they themselves, or their loved ones, or their countries, was still going to be around when its all said and done.
People do stupid/bad/wrong things when they are afraid/scared. Thats not restricted to just one person.
FDR did ALLOT more good than bad. Cut him some slack, as he’s as homo-sapien as the rest of us, and his results were a net-positive.
And also, there was a Congress and a Supreme Court back then too. It wasn’t just him. It was just the times. People were stupid-racist back then.
