The Big Dog's Big Lie

246. the fact that some professor says he "may have had to" register as a republican in alabama

doesn't 'prove' he did so.

and if the only way to be able to vote at all in the segregated south was to register republican, then it's irrelevant to any discussion about the timing of black voters' shift to the democratic party.

which was the context in which you brought it up, as though you were scoring big points.

it was 1936, btw. because of roosevelt's policies, including civil rights legislation, wpa and other public jobs, and the increased access black political and cultural leaders gained to the roosevelt white house as opposed to prior administrations.

my family has lived on the west coast since the late 1800s. so forgive me for not being particularly interested in the rest of your faux outrage. i know the history of the japanese internship a lot better than you, i'd guess, as family members had direct experience with the ramifications in small towns.

As for the claim that it "can't be proved today" that non-japanese were interned -- you're just showing how little you actually know about anything. Of course it can be proved, every intern was documented:

War Relocation Authority (WRA) Records in Record Group (RG) 210.

These records contain personal descriptive information on all individuals who were evacuated from their homes and relocated to one of 10 relocation centers during World War II. These records are searchable online, and we recommend it as the best place to start.

i am not whitewashing anything. i'm correcting your revisionist history.

so much outrage at fdr, so little outrage at similar civil rights violations going on today.
