My American History teacher in high school asked the class who declares war. I answered Congress and he proceeds to insist that only the President can declare war.

The next day he pulled me aside and apologized, but he never had the balls to tell the class what the right answer was.

Do I really need to or do you not get the implication of your post?

"We gave away our power, WE didn't need to"
You can say "it was right, but it wasn't smart"

White people are dumb for giving up their power. To say that implies that you believe whites are superior as they were not wise in giving up their power to lesser peoples.


Lolwut. No it doesnt haha. It implies they were in a superior position. And they willingly made their position worse at the benefit of others.

There is not opinion stated. And no belief involved. You are adding A LOT between the lines

I'm not going to say I don't agree or disagree with him.
I'm just going to say I was in a debative mood this morning.

Yes, there is a lot of data to back up that homogenous caucasian/Christian nations do well as long as they are not communist nor slavic.

HS history teacher kept calling Robert 1 of Scotland Robert Bruce. I wrote Robert the Bruce, which is the correct nomenclature, and he counted it wrong. So I got an encyclopedia and showed him. He gave me half credit.

The poor routinely are tricked into supporting the interests of the wealthy by using ideas like patriotism and honor. These ideas were in abundance in the South. In fact there were pockets in the South who refused to support the war because they thought that it was a "rich man's cause." This isn't some radical idea. Your jingoism prevents you from seeing this though.
