White Power is a political phrase coined by American Nazi Party leader George Lincoln Rockwell in a debate with Black Panther Stokley Carmichael , who issued a call for Black Power . ''White Power'' become the name of the party's newspaper and the title of a book by Rockwell. Today, many Racist ideological factions, such as White Supremacist s, White Separatists , White Nationalist s, White Christian s and Neo-Nazis , use the term ''White Power.'' This article specifically deals with a racist usage of "white power" and does not preclude that the phrase can certainly be used with a non-racist meaning as well. SKINHEADS ''White Power'' as an ideology is associated with a racist faction of the Skinhead Subculture that developed in the United Kingdom in the late 1970s. It emerged in a time when the UK was experiencing the second wave of Punk Rock . The Left Wing created an image of punks as leftist, and the revival of the skinhead style was taken advantage of by the far right, even though the original skinhead subculture of the 1960s had ties to the Jamaican Rude Boy s, in terms of music and style. Media sensationalism encouraged the popular conception of the whole skinhead subculture as being synonymous with white power ideology. One source of this misconception is the words and actions of the singer Ian Stuart , who was a member of the punk band Skrewdriver . Skrewdriver's 1983 LP ''White Power'' was the first White Power LP , printed by the White Noise record label. CONTEMPORARY ISSUES The white power scene continued to grow through the 1990s, and may be still expanding. This is partly due to large sums of money being used to promote the music, style, and culture to youth. This business has changed strategies and targets several times. SEE ALSO ''Main'' ''General''
