Or maybe, Manzanar?



Manzanar is most widely known as the site of one of ten concentration camps where over 110,000 Japanese Americans were imprisoned during World War II.

I meant in modern times.

I do read one specific thread here on SI (that gets a bit way out there for my tastes) where the posters claim......and provide video........that govt camps are being set up or are set up.

For what, I do not know.

There is no doubt that early Americans set up reservations and deposited Native Americans there against their will. If I were an Indian I would probably consider them concentration camps, but no one can say they were comparable to Nazi concentration camps.

I recently watched a movie called "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee."

What took place there was murder and intolerable.
