but why? Why should any white person, bow down to being labeled a nazi, or worse should they 'have pride'?
I mean, groups like the 'proud boys', are labeled a white extremist, or white separatist, or white pride group, but the only reason I know this, is because I looked them up, because the leader is I think black, and after research, the group has all colors, yet officially it's labeled 'hate'....
So, who labeled it-msm, and why-steer agendas.... at least that's what I see. I mean it looks like a diverse group, I don't care if it was, or not, but to label it what they have, I literally see insanity.
So, I guess I could be rambling, but the slavery from a pride poster is easy, all groups can have pride of their group, but whites; why? As you posted, we must pay for the banker's boogie men of bygone eras.
Whites cannot have a swastika, but the Jews, and all of Asia, and Japan can have it.
I think the word I'm looking for is, 'collective punishment'... .on that note, my family fought the nazi's, I guess I should go make amends for the Jews.... Oh shit, now I caught myself, as I'm a little bit.....

It's not about bowing down and being labeled a Nazi. It's about the fact that the "white power" message already has multiple meanings, and most of them are viewed negatively (by most people).

I can't deny what you write, but it still reeks of subjugation; the idea of equality through subjugation really doesn't work to well, but in reading this thread, I'm writing up something that will obviously not go anywhere, but I think could be a great working solution.
The reason it won't go anywhere, those in power, need us divided, yet spouting unity. The idea of what works, is in their view tantamount to murder; as it would give people I think a sense of calm....soon to write.

I'm don't necessarily disagree with your sentiment.
However, the term "white power" has an abundance of unwanted baggage.
Anyone who wants to rebrand "white power" as a positive and benevolent concept has an uphill battle.
Edit:
Additionally, the "white" demographic has plenty of power.
"White power" is in many ways recognized by many as actually meaning, "Moar White Power! ...and less for everyone else.".
I'm basically indifferent to it as well. What 'gets' me, is I grew up with integration, and I really lived, and live it; yet, the standards that I was raised with, seem to be something like most things in life; with a hypocritical, or lacking edge.
On that note, I did detect a little sarcasm with your post, I mean you described the poster, but it got me to thinking, about the premise of encouraging labeled minority groups for a better self image. What I don't think would sound good, is 'gimpy power', or 'disabled power', or 'retard power'. I mean, lol, that doesn't seem to encourage very well.
I agree with you on the very word, 'white power', but I end up stuck thinking when comparing it to the idea of disabled people, which somehow, someway end up as one of the +++ on the silly lgbtq to infinity bandwagon; yet what disabled person signed on for that.... pride through an acronym with +++ and power attached lol.
The world sure seems like a meat grinder a lot.
