When you hear " White power" or "Black power" or stuff like that, it always amazes me because that doesn't make any sense. It's like saying " Tall power" or "Medium Weight power"...you didn't contribute anything, had no say or choice in the matter.
Now race and culture is different. If you're Irish, Italian, Brazilian or Zimbabwean, you can be proud of the accomplishments or achievements of your family, ancestors and history.That's understandable and you can also argue that you're contributing.
I can understand African Americans though because I define them more of a culture than a race. I mean, after all, they don't know where they came from but their history is similar once they were in the US. And there's usually a big cultural difference between an African American and an African even though they're all black.
