[edit] added cleanup tag

Various issues here. I linked here from NSBM, but am not sure if the page refers to the White Power movement, slogan, or musical scene. Sadly (or perhaps not) I know next to nothing about these scenes so can't really clean it up myself. Any volunteers? illWill 23:16, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)


sadly! having read this piece of "intelectual" knowledge. not knowing anything abt white power movement you shouldn't have written it. let me know if you want to discuss: marcindojnik@yahoo.com

He didn't write it. He said that he linked here from another page, and couldn't clean it up because he didn't know much about the scenes. Burnthetown 07:51, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Revamping?

Suggesting eliminating 'contemporary issues' as well as elaborating more on white power itself. Also, what the heck is with the reference to some Korean milk commercial...? Burnthetown 20:07, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

white man from brasil- we love you!!

[edit] White power

In Spain, the term "poder blanco" as used by the Ultrasur and other skinheads has a double meaning - not only connoting white supremacy, but also referring to Real Madrid football club, whose official color is white.

[edit] This isn't right

White power equals Fascist and racist but Black Power equals self-determination. Oh yeah makes sense to me!

This isn't the place to comment on that sort of thing. This is not a message board for the topic, it's a page to discuss changes to the article. Ungovernable ForceGot something to say? 05:46, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
Not everyone who is White Power is a Nazi. youll find many White Nationalist are anti-Nazi/fascist. The Neo-Fascist infobox should be removed.
  • I remember when the introductions for Black power and White Power were excactly the same as each other except for the words "Black" and "White". That made a lot more sense and was a lot more neutral. I support neither movement so no bias here.

It should look more like these articles do

White Supremacy compared to Black Supremacy.

Except without the assumption of racism on either part.

  • The White power movement should not be described as the same as the Black power movement, because despite the similar names, they have represented different types of beliefs and actions. The Black power movement was defensive, and the white power movement was oppressive. That's not bias; that's the historical reality. To deny that in the name of "neutrality" would be engaging in historical revisionism.Spylab 06:37, 9 October 2006 (UTC)Spylab
Agreed. In our culture at least, whites are the majority and have the greatest amount of political, economic and social power. For whites to call for more power is clearly offensive in nature, as opposed to an oppressed group (eg: blacks, chicanos, natives) trying to gain an equal ammount of power, which is defensive. There is a clear difference. This isn't to say that some people who support black power and such don't want to have control over the other races, but this is the exception, not the rule. Whites already have power, why do they need more? That's why the two movements are treated differently. Ungovernable ForceGot something to say? 06:48, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

I completely dissagree. Whites are only a tiny minority on the planet (9%), which means they are soon going to lose their "political, economic and social power". I would say they have already lost it. "Affirmative Action" exists in most White countries, for example it's always cool to be black. The fact that the Black Power movement is considered "defensive" is part of Affirmative Action. White Power is an opposition to "Affirmative Action" and "Black Power". White Power is not offensive, it's clearly defensive. Mitsos 09:31, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
