My objection to your post has nothing to do with the comment. My objection is that you object to the man saying “white power”. Where are his equal rights?
To paraphrase a quote...I do not support what he said but I will defend to the death his right to say it.
After all....it is the 4th of July.
Have a good one.
Not absolutely sure, but I don't think angry whites started saying "white power" until those American Olympic medalists in 1968 raised their fists and the media described it as a "black power salute."
