The bombs were air bursts and the long term deaths due to radiation were very low.
It's not speculation at all to say they saved lives. You should read a little about how the Battle of Okinawa went.
3 days was plenty of time to surrender.
The Japanese killed almost as many women and children in China with bayonets than people were killed in the atomic blasts. Your pity is misplaced.
Above are proof of more lies.
Can you ever say anything truthful about people who aren't white (rhetorical question)
"From the invasion of China in 1937 to the end of World War II, the Japanese military regime murdered near 3,000,000 to over 10,000,000 people, most probably almost 6,000,000 Chinese, Indonesians, Koreans, Filipinos, and Indochinese, among others, including Western prisoners of war"
About 105,00 were killed in the nuclear bombs, combined.
How dare you disrespect the lives of the Chinese and southern Pacific Islanders who were murdered by the Japanese. Thank goodness white Americans rescued them from total annihilation.
Wow. Racism and white supremacy are always the favorite topics that bring out the right wingers. Look at the size of this thread. And the greatest volume of posts are by you know who.....
Uh...there was this thing called chattel slavery in America. Apparently you didn't know that. Black people were property and their kids were property and their kids kids...which racist whites in the south wanted to continue forever. You do know they were forced to do whatever they were told or they were murdered right? Apparently not. American chattel slavery wasn't some jobs program.
Also why couldn't they learn to read and write....if slave masters were teaching skills?
There wasn't a single good thing about being a black slave in America and to try to come up with a reason says volumes about some racist white folks as they try to lie to change history. This is exactly why people are upset.
The only person who benefitted from slavery was the slave owner. But you continue to lie and say blacks were better off as property than free. No slave ever said that. Ever.
Stop lying
You're so dumb...
There was no "chattel slavery" AFTER THE EMANCIPATION.
so theses so called skills that were benefits didn't apply prior to 1865. Exactly what damn skill benefited a slave from 1619 to 1865? before emancipation? You do know that black people have been slaves in the land a hell of a lot longer than they were so called freed after emancipation. I guess you forgot the other 100+ years of Jim Crow laws.
Now this is most ridiculous post I have heard in years. Dude the clothes on your back right now were made in China, the tools in your garage (if you have one) and roughly 80% of all your possessions were made in Asia.
STFU
I'm aware that it's ridiculous. I'm using your arguments. You want to blame people for things that they don't have control over nor did they have ownership over. Now you don't want to be blamed for something that you don't have control over but that you participated in. You are benefiting from Asian labor injustice. Accept it. I learned this type of arguing from you and your ilk.
Don't tell me about the Asian products I have. I'm not making the argument that a person participating in commerce is responsible for all labor injustices involved in the commerce ...
As much as someone who learned how to type in Auschwitz and then later made a career as a secretary.
Most people would have to actually try to miss the point to pull off missing the point as often as you do.
The goal of this recommendation is to soften the image of slavery and the people that perpetuated it. Whether or not a man or woman in slavery learned a skill against their will while living as a piece of property, any such fact does not deserve emphasis and doing so is an attempt to show that "it wasn't all bad."
It's ok to say, "it was appalling, inhumane and barbaric and there wasn't anything good at all for the people who suffered in bondage."
Japan would have been firebombed constantly to finish the war if not for the nuclear weapons. Yes, the deaths were tragic, but it saved far more Japanese lives.
but to leftists Japanese are basically white so they don't count
So by killing civilians in Japan, the U.S. saved civilians in Japan.
SMH......
How about you not drop atomic bombs in the middle of major heavily populated cities?
Dumb as a f'ing rock.
Japan had about 110,000 soldiers on Okinawa. Guess how many were killed. About 110,000.
The only ones who surrendered were the ones too badly wounded to kill themselves.
Over 100,000 civilians on Okinawa died in the battle. Most of which were either killed by the Japanese troops or they committed suicide to avoid capture by the Americans.
If the US had to invade mainland Japan MILLIONS would have died.
You're ignorant and you're stupid. It's embarrassing that you try to throw your opinion in on topics you clearly know nothing about.

How dare you disrespect the lives of the Chinese and southern Pacific Islanders who were murdered by the Japanese. Thank goodness white Americans rescued them from total annihilation.
Uh...white people didn't fight the Japanese to save other nations in that part of the world. The U.S. fought because Pearl Harbor was attacked. Asia was not being annihilated.

Please link the post where I said slaves benefited from slavery.
I said little pieces of sh*t like YOU benefited from slavery.

Does it bother you even a little bit that you clearly have no idea wtf you're talking about on any subject?
Japan was killing and conquering its way across Asia and the Pacific for 9 YEARS before Pearl Harbor.
So by killing civilians in Japan, the U.S. saved civilians in Japan.

As usual...how white of you. Everything that white people do, even when killing non-whites, they somehow make themselves out to be the savior of non-whites!
Amazing.....the continued racist superior attitude of you and your whiteness. Amazing.

I'd stay away from WW 2 history if I were you, it's obviously not your strong subject.

As if you actually gave a damn about any race other than white people. That is just some BS excuse to kill more non-whites.
Same BS about the Gulf War and Iraqi War....we can liberate the people. Like the U.S. gives a damn about other people who aren't white.
How bout you let black communities actually achieve parity in our country? And even help them, since you ignore how they have been treated since emancipation. What about Black Wall Street being destroyed? Redlining? Separate but equal? You're a dumb dumb.

You're literally getting dumber by the day.
little kid, you wish you knew a tenth of the stuff I know.
You have repeatedly proven what a lying racist POS you are. Making up s*** about any person of color in an attempt to prove white supremacy. You are not superior to anyone and especially not superior to me.
You don't even know a single black person! But yet talk s*** on a running forum. We all know you were a wanna be athlete. Now get back to work.
The average white IQ is 15 points higher than the average black IQ; the average Asian IQ is 21 points higher. Of course different groups have different levels of success.
