But then if they advertised for someone that upheld the "white spirit"....what exactly would that be? Basically the only reason they have "black spirit" is because of whites oppression.


So if they said......we want someone that will uphld the spirit of "Whites" it would be a group of people that oppressed black people.

Basically all i want to do is make it clear why it is fundamentally ok for black people to talk about "black power" and "black spirit" when you have had to fight for every last wee bit. But not ok to talk about "white spirit" or "white power" when our society is based on people who are white having more power. In fact not just in the UK but in the World.

In the World white people are the ethnic minority but they hold the most power.
