• Support since the usage in sources was about half lowercase until after WP adopted this capitalized title; the fraction of lowercase is still pretty significant, so per MOS:CAPS we should use lowercase. Dicklyon (talk) 22:37, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
• Support per nom. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 00:52, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

I don't care

This is racist.

Black Power is a racist slogan used by black supremacist to advocate for the total control of institutions and government positions. It's equally as bad as White Power, and you can't prove otherwise. So why paint it as a peaceful ideology when White Power is the same thing but treated differently?

It's two sides of the same coin. Stop sugarcoating it because you believe black supremacy and white supremacy is different. IT ISN'T 500problems (talk) 15:47, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

I agree, but unfortunately Wikipedia is bound to follow reliable sources published by universities who conduct studies on race, civil rights and political science. Until universities change their biased stance on the matter we as Wikipedia editors cannot write what you're suggesting, simply because we don't have the reliable sources to back it up. Just accept the bitter truth and move on. Every politically charged article on Wikipedia is biased anyway, so it's not even worth debating about it. Jonipoon (talk) 17:48, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

The Universities weren’t biased until the 60’s when American Marxists started to hate the working class and moved towards using young people (mostly College students) for their Revolution. At first the Ivy League and Berkeley were affected. Nowadays name a University that doesn’t have a Marxist Professor, basically none. Qutlooker (talk) 04:48, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

lol, universities weren't biased back when they had KKK chapters? Stupid nonsense. Get out of here. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 05:03, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

With that attitude I’m surprised you aren’t Blocked, but I digress.

I’m talking about the professors, not the Extracurriculars. Every school has some wired Fraternities. Qutlooker (talk) 20:30, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

Why would I be blocked? For stating that you wrote BS? lol. Yes, I'm sure no professors were racist or biased prior to the 1960s. If you write stupid stuff, don't get surprised if someone states that it's stupid. Feel free to appeal to whomever you think would block me for calling out your nonsense. Also, talk pages are for working on articles, not ignorant political screeds. Go away. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:56, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

You have also said some pretty stupid things in this Discussion (I,e: Black Power is not Equal as White Power). I bet you pretend like George Lincoln Rockwell wasn’t friends with Black Power leaders (Malcom X and Elijah Muhammad). Along with the fact that the term “White Power” comes from Black Power (Rockwell coined it). Qutlooker (talk) 22:19, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

Please stop writing your irrelevant, ignorant nonsense. This talk page is about this article, not your rambling. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:32, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

You’ve also rambled. Qutlooker (talk) 22:50, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

"talk pages are for working on articles, not ignorant political screeds" ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:58, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

It is not "equally as bad as White Power" and the suggestion is ridiculous. Do you have anything to add to actually improving this article or just a rant that you found from someone's uncle on Facebook? ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 11:45, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

The above comment is rather vague, as it does not criticize or suggest improvements of any particular statements in the article. It seems related to this edit and this edit, both of which were reverted. The commentary and edits seem unsourced and POV, and the expressed perspective seems to overlap with the discussion in the "Criticism" section of the article, where somewhat similar opinions are expressed and discussed in a more objective manner. It may simply be WP:TROLLING. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 15:51, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
