yep good point. it would seem in society all none-english/whites are subject to the upper hand in racism. Its like when you watch the news - 2 white guys kill an asian, so the place goes mad and the guys are locked up for 10 years. But if an asian where to kill a white guy, thats different. He'd get a few years in prison, and the press wouldnt make a meal of it.
I'm proud to be white english, but society is going downhill

Good point. It seems to be that it's OK to be a racist if you're black or any other race, but not if you're white(although many still are). Unfortunately, most believe that we, white men, the current generation, are responsible for what happened during the founding of the U.S. and in several other civilizations prior to the current era. So we're paying the price now for what our "ignorant ***" forefathers and others did. Keep in mind that a large portion of the black race is extremely upset about the past and continue to feed the fire to the younger generation about what happened to their ancestors. So publishing a magazine is one way for the black race to feel superior to others. However, it's just an opinionated magazine and doesn't represent opinions of the entire black race. I guess you can choose to let it bother you, or you can go on with your life and worry about more important issues. Do you really want a white power magazine? I know I don't. Hopefully we can see eachother as a human race one day, not just different colors.

First of all "white" people are not white...I have never been white..I can be pink, beige, or brown in the summer. I came from Europe, but I have never been white..ever.
WAAYYYY back in history, the Vikings came to Europe and ravaged the land and the people, enslaved them, raped the women..., but I don't hate anyone from the Scandinavian countries.
I am a woman and do not have the same power as men do, but I don't hate men.
Spain was the first to come to North America from Europe. I don't consider them white. Why does everyone blame people with light skin?
My ancestral country was totally abused by England for years. I don't hate England.
African Americans need to get over it and move one.

This has always annoyed me, like white people are the only race that can be racist! I've been subject to racism loads of times (I'm white). At school was the worst there was a group of Asian boys that just terrorised white kids for fun. Called us rednecks that kind of stuff. And when they got white girlfriends they treated them really badly and were open about how it didn't matter as they were white trash anyway. It didn't help complaining about racism to the teachers, as they failed to see how anyone could be racist to a white person. And some didn't dare to tell the Asian group of boys off, as they would always say it was racial harassment, which could cost the teacher their job.
I am not racist, and I think it is really good that we in England live in a multi race, multi cultural society. But this mix has to be fair, without any particular group placing prejudice. Be proud of who/what you are, but not to the detriment of others.

Chelz is right......Traditionally, when a white person says "white power", they're associating it with supremacy. It's mostly spoken by racists. A few racist assholes have F**ked the word up by giving it a bad name.
There's nothing wrong with anyone being proud of their heritage however when you say "white power" I think you're associated with the KKK. Thank them for you not being able to say it without being called a racist.
Black power is about encouraging the black race and overcoming oppression, not putting down white people.

errr - so what do you think the BNP are?
And unlike the black power MAGAZINE these guys are an actual political party.
I've not seen any riots about it yet - and they make me very uncomfortable - and I know if I was a black person resident in the UK these guys would make me more than just uncomfortable

why are white murderers allowed bail and freed from prosecution by the police in England? why did policemen in england collect bribes from suspects parents just because the victim is black? why was Damilola Taylor killed by white children in England? why were our ancestors tied like goats, chained like prisoners and sold like cattle in europe? why did black people have to stand up for a white person in a bus? why the fu*k have we not had a black english pm, american president or queens in-law?

White people can, it is just that other people will get mad at them for this. They would loose alot of business and lots of corporations would be afraid to sponser them. It wouldn't be because black people would take it the wrong way but because alot of white people would think it racist and not want anything to do with it.

They have special privileges. They can't function without extra rights and assistance. They use the race card but forget that THEY were the first to have slaves. The Egyptians (African) enslaved the Jews (Moses) who are arian over 2000 years ago. Hmmmm....
