Is there anything wrong with White Power?

Question

What are your opinions?

NOTE: I am not looking to "stir" anything. This is a legit question, in which I am seeking answers on. Are there actually people out there in the world who are proud of their white heritage and looking to keep it alive in well? Are any of you racist against other non white individuals?

So far I have not come across one white, openly racist person and I see all over the place on forums that state how millions of whites are racist. I'd like to find just one...

My purpose for this question is to become familiarized on what the norm is, in terms of racial opinions. I would like to see for myself, rather then be told what the majority feel.

So far from what I am seeing as a result of the responses that have been contributed, there are not many closed minded "racist" people out there. This assessment shows me that we really need to put an end to the word racist in general. If blacks continue to pick on whites, and whites continue to pick on blacks this country will not succeed. We need to all join together to form one strong, binding unity. Forming an individual opinion does not make you a racist person, nor that of a bad person. Once and for all, can be drop our differences and come together?

Answer 1

We have white power, black power, and Latin power
Question is, where is American Power? Or Power of the People. We all come together during tragic events, why does it take tragic event for us to come together as a people? Why can’t we do this on our own, without tragedy, for the good of American Power, i.e. red, white and blue?
We have given up to much already, it’s time for all powers to recognize that American power is most important, and saving America through action is needed, or there might not be an America, if we keep growing more and more divided. It won’t matter where you live or how much money you have; all this will be meaningless, if we don’t fix the foundation on what all this is was built upon, America and its values, we will have no future.

Politics has driven a wedge between us, they divide us on purpose, so the Politicians can try to control us. And because of this, some of you are questioning the very idea of who you are, just because someone calls you a meaningless name, and the very definition of the word racist changes weekly to suite the Political need of the time. But they are wrong. The more we talk about this the more we realize that it is just nonsense. We must put aside these type of politics, for real. If you are reading this and say “oh, just another rant about race”, you missed the point of the message. Change starts with you. When you decide that you will put aside this division, then in turn you will strip the power of these political types and media hounds. And their message of division will fade away like the pet rock. It is that easy.

Will you commit to putting aside this division, or will you just wait for the end result to interrupt your prefect life.

Every race should be proud of their history, no race has a prefect record. I have been called a racist because I want people living American to speak English. This word racist, what does it really mean anyway? It used to mean that you didn't like blacks, now it means you don’t like illegal aliens, and wanting secure borders is also somehow a racial issue. What will it mean next week...? It is only a word used to give power to those seek to control us.

Answer 2

If it's the power of humility, then it would be good. Somehow I think it's not. It's a little ridiculous since science says races are an artificial social convention rather then real. Besides, it turns out more genes are better than less. Wrong and right has to do with perspective and it's another narrow one. That's not what the world needs, more narrow mindedness. And what is that power, over other people? If it's over yourself, all cultures appreciate that. Low self esteem is only really handles through Emotional Intelligence. There are branches of it the individual can use to understand themselves better and then they don't have to prove anything as there's nothing to prove much anyway. I just don't see any advantage to pitting one group against another comparing myself to anyone as I am the glorious and unique me and take pride in being no one but me, but then I'm jut a penguin.

Answer 3

There is a lot wrong when any one thinks they have the right to think they are superior to others based on skin colour and they treat others differently based on this.
The problem with the world is people that think this way and include religion and culture to suppress others

If you ask this question "Is there anything wrong with White Power" then you also must ask was ther any thing wrong with Hitler and others through history that believed they where more better that some one else

Answer 4

I don't really understand your question. A lot of people say that White people are racist & oppress minorities, but it isn't socially acceptable for Whites to be racist. If by White power you mean White supremacy then yes it's wrong. No matter what White people do to take pride in their race & culture it will be interperted as being racist.

Answer 5

You have to understand history. For centuries, white people (people of European ancestry) were colonizers. They colonized the Native Americans in America, India, Australia, every country except two in Africa, etc. etc. In order to colonize they had to prove the people in these countries were less human than them, or less "civilized." I really think this may have been the start of racism - Europeans had to put out all sorts of propaganda and speak a language that implied their superiority. Obviously all of the people in the countries they colonized were not white, so they implied that darker people were "savages."

Colonization had disastrous effects. The whole process of it was designed to tear these cultures apart from the inside, invalidate them, and eventually destroy them completely. The U.S. government has gone through many policy eras with the Native American tribes, but almost all policies have been geared toward disassembling the tribes, even up until recently. The British had a policy to "wash the Aborigines white," which they formulated they could do in 3 generations through intermarriage.

So the problem with saying "white power" is that it has traditionally meant superiority, not equality, and doesn't recognize other cultures' rights to exist. It implies bigotry and hatred.

Be proud of who you are, know your ancestors and where you come from. But also have a healthy understanding of history, because you know what they say about those that forget the past...

Answer 6

Absolutely not. For some reason all non-white races seem to think that only they can have segregated groups, awards, etc. But they think if whites do it, it is racist. I just don't understand! Why can there be a Miss Black America pageant or a Black Music Awards, but if there was one just for whites, it would get shut down by a minority group? There is an NAACP, but there could never be a NAAWP. If there was, they would relate it to the KKK.

The best solution would be to get rid of ALL race-related organizations once and for all. All they do is perpetuate racism -- from either side. Make it the NAAAP (National Association for the Advancement of ALL People)!!!

Answer 7

No they are not a similar element however the line between the two is superb So be proud to be white (i'm proud to be my race too), in simple terms confirm you do no longer overstep the line and strengthen right into a promoter of white supremacy or white skill reason then i could might desire to set my pug canines on you.. (:

Answer 8

It's not logical. No logical person or anyone with a significant amount of intelligence is "proud" of an inherent trait. You don't see people walking around saying "freckle pride" or "albino pride," do you?

It's absurd, as are all the others including, black, brown, gay and whatever else.

Answer 9

its wrong to have white power,black power,asian power, latiano power but yet its there when all these races join gangs and groups that demoralize each individual and their race. if we can stop all the hatred then we as a society will win against all this racist ****!

Answer 10

I don't know, actually. If you mean having pride in who you are, the no. It's the same concept as "black power" or any other race. But if you mean like how white supremacists used it as a way to try to terrorize people, of course there's an issue with it.
