Who cares what Takei faggie thinks?

It’s too late now, but I wonder if he interviewed any survivors of the Bataan Death March.

So Takei goes on and on endlessly about how much he and his family suffered by being in the internment camps.

Fair enough, but it was liberal DEMOCRAT FDR that put them there.

In his autobiography, Takei talks about how his dad was a leader in the camps, stoically accepting their fate, and making the best of their situation.

Then he goes on to talk about how he got interested in politics during the 1952 election and how his dad enthusiastically supported Adlai Stevenson.

That's right. Georgie's dad supported the very same party that put his family into internment camps.

I actually asked him (Takei) about this many years ago in some chat room.

He said: "Times change, and parties change, stay well, friend."

WTF?

We're talking about seven years after this happened to George, and his family is pulling the "parties switched sides" nonsense.

No sale Mr. Takei. The 1952 democratic party is just as racist, if not more so in 2019.

Mysteriously a very central fact is omitted entirely. Who, exactly, was running the U.S. government? Who was responsible for this “legalized racism” This central truth of history —what might be called, to borrow from the Post headline, a “shameful legacy” — was omitted by the Post, not by George Takei. That is clear when one goes to Amazon and checks the description of his book as provided by his publisher. That description reads this way, bold print supplied:

“In 1942, at the order of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, every person of Japanese descent on the west coast was rounded up and shipped to one of ten “relocation centers,” hundreds or thousands of miles from home, where they would be held for years under armed guard.

Takei does his best “thinking” with his mouth full.
