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.
