At the same time the commision was useful, Japanese people were locked up, as well as people that "seemed" japanese and could not take part of it.

Which is worse than enslaving blacks or destroying Native Americans?

Show me the president considered great who made slavery laws that made slavery harder to repeal.

Show me the president considered great who forced free black men back into slavery by laws they've passed.

As for the indians Andrew Jackson was also a dick and I would protest even more if someone suggested he was one of the greatest presidents ever.

 

Do you or do you not agree that Japanese internment was a GIANT step backwords in race relations and Civil Liberties... instigated by FDR?

You can't argue "racism of the time" when he actually made things worse.

Japanese internment was the worst crime in american history committed by a president since the abolition of slavery up until Guantanamo Bay.

Calling someone a racist name because everyone else does it.  That's racism of the time.  Being the first guy to club that person over the head is not.  That's you delibritly making things worse.
