A term used throughout history, predominantly by white nationalists,
Neo Nazis, and KKK members, to represent oppression and racism against minorities. The term stems from the belief that the white people are inherently created better than others, and their power should be recognized and obeyed. This term is offensive to large groups of people of all races, colors, or nationalities and is only used to further hatred. racism and oppression.
White power should never be compared to or justified against terms such as Black Power or
Power to the People, as those phrase stand in direct contradiction to the embedded meaning of
white power, and are messages meant to end oppression, racism, and hatred.
Example:
As small crowds of
KKK members march through streets, they are often heard
chanting, "White Power" as a way to
signify their falsely believed superiority.
