One, I don't know of any white power sign. But as I posted above, I would not think a photo of white southern cadets with a confederate flag would be a big deal either. So there you go

If you are referring to the Nazi salute, that is in no way, shape, or form on the same playing field as the black power salute.

Is that not a white power sign?

frick you assholes who have shite standards and expect nothing from them cause they is colored girls who don't know no better.

Who the frick cares!? God y'all are such whiny bitches.
The OT complains that SJWs always find innocuous things to be offended by but crys just as much.
So several black women graduated from a place that historically many blacks have not been accepted. And with a raised fist they show soidarity and referece the past and present struggle of civil rights. Now a bunch of redneck mouth breathers have their panties in a bunch.

What about a poster that said White Power? That simple. That way it can be an exact 1 to 1 comparison. A group of 16 cadets pose with a poster that says White Power. You are anyone else would be a liar if they say that would go unpunished

He'd be the one to start the thread. "Typical white cadets prove racism still alive and well at West Point."

People love being offended.
This is the world we live in.

I really can't believe people are actually equating a raised closed fist to KKK symbols lol. Let me break it down for you morons.
The fact that the term "Black Power" and the symbol has no negative connotations is basically because it wasn't used to segregate not demean any person non black. It was a self-affirmation tool used at a time when the very idea of being black was demeaned and looked at with disgust. It was a symbol of pride of our self worth.
"White Power" is a slogan used by terrorist groups. Groups that held the belief that being white meant lording power over all. Whether you believe that is true or not, that's how it was used. so thank your ancestors or grannies and grandpas for that one

Wait, so I'm supposed to believe that this
is some sort of candid photo that wasn't pre-planned?
Is that what the black chicks at West Point look like when they're just hanging out?

Selective enforcement of the rules leads to selective respect for the rules.
But what could possibly go wrong if our service-PEOPLE stop respecting military conduct rules?
No big deal I'm sure.
Oh there is no issue there, a white guy would have their career ended if they tried to go out of line with this shite now. That's the fun of this lil old world. All the while people of other races cry... racism... FML
