Waiting For The American Redemption (The 88th Anniversary of the Tydings-McDuffie Act)

“Healing doesn’t mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls our lives.” – Native American proverb

INTRODUCTION

Thursday Dec. 12, 2024 – The recent resurgence of anti-Semitism all over the world has been very disturbing to say the least. Apparently we did not learn anything from the Holocaust. This blog post accuses FDR and the 73rd U.S. Congress of starting the Holocaust. Filipinos who were in fact American nationals until they were reclassified as “aliens” after March 24, 1934 when the Tydings-McDuffie Act became the law. It was much later, a year and half later on September 15, 1935 that Hitler and the Nazis enacted the Nuremberg Laws.

Here are the signs that FDR and the Democrat-dominated US Congress were very racist.

1.) Pres. Franklin Roosevelt continued to fund the Tuskegee Experiment when the cash-strapped government was struggling with the Great Depression.

2.) In 1935 FDR refused to publicly endorse the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill for fear of losing the support of Southern Democrats in the coming 1936 presidential election.

3.) In 1936 FDR snubbed African-American Jesse Owens who won several gold medals in the Berlin Olympics. FDR didn’t send a telegram to Jesse Owens to personally acknowledge his victories or that of the 18 other triumphant African American Olympians. No African-American athlete was invited to the White House, only white athletes. Again the reason was FDR’s fear of losing the support of Southern Democrats in the coming presidential election. In 1936, only white athletes were allowed to visit FDR in the White House.

4.) On June 5, 1939 FDR did not even respond to the Captain of MS St. Louis who sought asylum on behalf of his passengers. The MS St. Louis left Havana on June 2 after the ship was denied entry in Havana and the passengers’ visas were invalidated by the Cuban government. Once again FDR feared losing the support of southern Democrats in coming 1940 presidential elections.

Let me say again, what Hitler did to the Jews and other races the Nazis deemed inferior is the worst crime against humanity. But why do we hold FDR and the southern Democrats to a different standard?

March 24, 2022 – On this day in 1934, President Frankline Delano Roosevelt signed into law the Tydings-McDuffie Act also known as the “Philippine Independence Act” passed by the 73rd Congress.

Blog – LOOK! A U.S. PASSPORT (No. 26859) OF A FILIPINO CITIZEN WITH ALLEGIANCE TO THE USA ISSUED ON MARCH 15, 1930 signed by U.S. GOV. GEN. DWIGHT DAVIS more famously known as the founder of the INTERNATIONAL DAVIS CUP TENNIS TOURNAMENT.

STOP THE BIAS AGAINST FILIPINOS! RESTORE the AMERICAN NATIONALITY of ALL QUALIFIED FILIPINOS & ISSUE THE CORRESPONDING U.S. PASSPORTS FOR THOSE WHO WISH TO RELOCATE ANYWHERE IN THE USA AND ELSEWHERE.

What is the solution to this injustice going back 88 years ago?

THE NUREMBERG LAWS ENACTED ON SEPTEMBER 15, 1935

Monday May 2, 2022 – The members of 73rd and 79th U.S. Congresses and especially President Franklin D. Roosevelt should be POSTHUMOUSLY charged with gross indifference, racism, and mass discrimination. Governments, multi-national corporations, NGOs, International organizations like the World Bank, IMF, U.N., etc that continue to recognize the miserably failed so-called republic of the Philippines are guilty of being an accessory after the fact should be dealt with accordingly.
