America didn’t join WWII to liberate the Jews or save them.
If that was the intent they would have joined the war years before when it became known fact that Jews were being mass murdered.
England, France, Canada, Russia, didn’t care either.
It should be a basis for a reasoned discussion, not an excuse for communications to shut down. All of us make mistakes, even racist mistakes and it is far better to learn from them to deny them. There are times when actions go beyond “teachable” – Dylann Roof shooting up the leadership of the church in Charleston for instance, but most of us should strive to be better people rather than denying that we have flaws.
If you go to YouTube and type in “the brains behind AOC” you’ll get a pretty interesting podcast how she answered a casting call to get the job of running for her district and who is really pulling her strings. She only sounds good with those committee questions when she has memorized the script written for her, when she goes “off” script is when she reveals the dunce she really is.
No, claiming FDR was a racist is just stating a fact. And its not just about the internment of the Japanese, many of whom were born right here in the US, though that was clearly a racist policy. Were you aware, for example, that after the 1936 Summer Olympics, only white gold medalists were invited to meet with FDR? You know who didn’t get an invite? Jesse Owens, who won 4 gold medals, making him the most awarded US olympian that year. No other US olympian took home more than 2 medals total, and only one of those took 2 golds. But that wasn’t good enough for Owens to get an invite to see the President.
FDR was 100% a racist.
As a conservative, I don’t even like AOC, but she is absolutely right about Roosevelt.
no it’s an opinion, expressed as part of her idiotic agenda. and unless you can show exactly why owens was not invited, then that is merely your opinion too
