Obama goes to Hiroshima, and naturally, screws it up

And the us government infected black americans.. The Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male,under the guise of receiving free health care

he 40-year study was controversial for reasons related to ethical standards because researchers knowingly failed to treat patients appropriately after the 1940s validation of penicillin as an effective cure for the disease they were studying.

No chance that racism had anything to do with this either...

Seems people still wont accept the smallest possibility that ..wartime America was clearly racist towards the "Japs". not Just angry and That racism made the decision a little easier. and clearly racism alone was not a big factor. for dropping the bomb.
And we only moved 110,000 and 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry who had lived on the Pacific coast. Sixty-two percent of the internees were United States citizens. for security reasons race had nothing to do with it i understand time to move on

Japanese is not a race.....it's people who live in Japan.

American isn't a race, correct.

The term "racist" has completely lost it meaning from over/mis-use.

Only if your looking at by todays Standards in the 40's it was different

http://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2010/...D-controversy/

taking in the late 1930 till 1950's

There was an attempt in this census only to obtain figures for “Mex” (Mexicans), who were defined as “all persons born in Mexico, or having parents born in Mexico, who were not definitely White, Negro, Indian, Chinese, or Japanese.”

In 1940, the only change was the elimination of the “Mex” category, and Mexicans “were to be listed as White unless they were definitely Indian or some race other than White.”

In 1950, the census form listed the following categories: “White (W), Negro (Neg), American Indian (Ind), Japanese (Jap), Chinese (Chi), Filipino (Fil),” and other races to be spelled out. Note that the form did not contain the term “Black.”

another conspiracy theory article

here are a few others

Asbestos is really safe
There are mountains of scientific evidence that asbestos is extremely dangerous to humans. It causes cancer and kills more than 12,000 people every year.

Trump, however, considers the substance a safe and effective fire retardant.

There is no drought in California
Donald Trump told an audience in Fresno that “there is no drought” in California. According to Trump, the state has plenty of water but it’s being held hostage by environmentalists in government. The idea that the government is engineering the drought was popularized by professional conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones.
California, in fact, is facing a severe drought of historic proportions that covers nearly 95% of the state.

Climate change a hoax invented by the Chinese
Donald Trump has repeatedly called climate change a hoax, often implicating the Chinese.The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.

And that was despicable. But that's not the same thing as dropping th ebomb on a brutal, bloodthirsty enemy, who made it obvious that they had no intention of quitting, ever.

There is zero moral equivalence between these 2 things. Zip. Ask the Chinese who were being raped and eaten.

Again you miss the point it was about what the government told the people as opposed to what they where really Doing !!!! Are you suggesting Race had nothing to do with giving those black americans syphilis or that race did never came up when talking if we should or shouldn't drop the bomb ..

like the Mustard gas experiments on troops in 1945 .. and to my point the bomb was a weapons test and a means to end the War not just for the sole reason to end the War as the narrative in 1945 from Our Government would suggest

you dont see a pattern ?
