What's the issue with "White Power"?

[Aldebaran]

I think the argument that the rioters didn't kill anyone solely because they didn't have the financial means to buy better weaponry is one of the silliest I've read in a while.

Looks like you missed/ignored the link.

Ah, sorry, was too busy laughing.

51 is less than "nearly a dozen".

What I'm reading here is a complete failure to defend "white power" chants.

The tactic is: "but its just like these other outrageous and violent chants"... which is pretty much a total capitulation.

It didn't know there was a need to defend a "white power" chant. My original question was "What's the issue"?

All lives matter, whether it's a dozen or fifty. You can continue laughing about them if you like.

Yeah, thats your OP title.

But your OP post is plainly a defense of the chant.

Thank you, will do.

What I posted was my own viewpoint which is shared by others. If other people with different viewpoints want to chime in with their own, they are welcome to do so.

But you seem to have abandoned that viewpoint when you started saying "white power!" is like these other chants you find abhorrent.

Thats fine. I actually respect the capacity to have one's opinion changed in a discussion. Most people are too proud to admit they were wrong online. Its not easy for me, for sure.

We’re six pages in now and there’s been several good answers.

Have you learned anything new since you posed your original question?

It actually is like those other chants, which is why I ask what the issue is with it if those are ok, but "white power" is not.
