Wow Japan - Unit 731

No it isn't.

You are confusing the politics surrounding what was a fledgling philosophy that led to modern genetics with the philosophy itself. If you are willing to do a little reading you will find that you are mistaken. Would you like to borrow some books?

No it isn't.

Then why did white families compete in better baby and better family contests across the nation? Why did the same family's report to the eugenics boards across the nation? Why did influential African-Americans such as W. E. B. Du Bois agree with the principles and tenants of eugenics?

They were either grossly misinformed, blind sheep, or idiots. Eugenics is highly immoral ajd often leads to geonocide, plain and simple. It does not surprise me the two speaking in favor of it are an admitted racist and a supporter of hitler.

Heh, you had me going for a second.

The Eugenics of yesteryear spawned the genetics of today. You are confusing the politics of the science with the science itself.

You made the statement that "Eugenics is highly immoral" but are you also saying that it is not true? Is noticing the differences between various races the immoral part?

By the way; Hitler was dead many years before I was born making it clearly impossible for me to be a supporter of his. Are you a supporter of Genghis Khan?

No invasion would have been needed it we had chosen a tactic of nuking them as fast are we could build the bombs and starved them to death via a blockaded & siege. I believe that if we invaded them it would have just been because we wanted to kill them in person.

On Marshall's orders, Major General John E. Hull looked into the tactical use of nuclear weapons for the invasion of the Japanese home islands (even after the dropping of two strategic atomic bombs on Japan, Marshall did not think that the Japanese would capitulate immediately). Colonel Lyle E. Seeman reported that at least seven Fat Man type plutonium implosion bombs would be available by X-Day, which could be dropped on defending forces. Seeman advised that American troops not enter an area hit by a bomb for "at least 48 hours"; the risk of nuclear fallout was not well understood, and such a short amount of time after detonation would have resulted in substantial radiation exposure for the American troops.[36]

Ken Nichols, the District Engineer of the Manhattan Engineer District, wrote that at the beginning of August 1945, "[p]lanning for the invasion of the main Japanese home islands had reached its final stages, and if the landings actually took place, we might supply about fifteen atomic bombs to support the troops."[37] An air burst 1,800–2,000 ft (550–610 m) above the ground had been chosen for the (Hiroshima) bomb to achieve maximum blast effects, and to minimize residual radiation on the ground as it was hoped that American troops would soon occupy the city.[38]

If war hadn't ended quickly the soviets were going to go for japan.

If you think there was truth to anything in eugenics you are a racist and hate filled idiot. Eugenics was 100% geared toward getting rid of people who were thought to be racially or genetically inferior and had absolutely nothing to do with health or science.

Not entirely. What if a couple with a certain genetic disorder, decide to forgo having children so that they won't suffer from the same disease? There are lots of good reasons to be selective in your breeding, and they don't necessarily have to anything to do with race.

There were a lot worse things done by the Japanese.

When the Japanese invaded china they would rape and torture everyone in a city, not just one city, but every city.

I'd link it if I remembered the term
