POWER TO THE PEOPLE by Colin Mulholland

There has been quite a lot of talk coming out of the white community lately in response to the current "Black Lives Matter" movement. A lot of it questioning the phrase "Black Power". Some people go as far to say "They (right off the bat they use that word "they") have the right to say 'Black Power' but yet if a white person says 'white power' it's racist!" The stimuli of racist thought has grown so drastically in white people since the protests and riots over Freddie Gray's murder had begun. And what the white community fail to understand is of coarse it's fucking racist! Historically speaking that phrase started with the introduction of the Ku Klux Klan when the racist idiots who's ancestors brought the African Americans to this country were fed up with them being here so they started lynching blacks, our countries racism problem was founded by dumb white men! The solution to this problem is very simple, instead of focusing on the aspect of white pride: which is the most negative pride of all, do some research into your family history and see where your family came from. For me I am Irish and I celebrate my Irish heritage. If you're looking for pride, that's a good place to start, but leave race out of the equation! Because even Malcolm X said "Notice white people never say they're American. They always say they're Italian American, or Irish American. Well if they're Italian American and Irish American, than I am African American!" (NOTE: Mind you that is me paraphrasing what he actually said. I don't have my copy of "By Any Means Necessary" handy at the moment to actually list his actual quote but it's along that line.)
