White Power is racist; the movement seeks to gain and maintain supremacy, not equality.
Black Power and other non-white power movements are striving for equality.
Non-white Americans can be bigoted or hateful but NEVER racist for they do not have the historical power/pretext..
NOTE: Black Americans, Asian-Americans, Indian-Americans, Latino-Americans and any non-white American cannot be racist; no matter what they do, they do not have the power to remove freedoms from white Americans or disadvantage white Americans socially, economically, politically, etc..

A racist is a person that adheres to a system in which a dominant race believe they are superior and implements systems that privilege the dominant race at every conceivable social, political and economical opportunity. A racist in essence, wants to benefit from the oppression of other races.
We don't live in a society where every racial group has equal power, status and opportunity.
Yes, white people all over the world throughout history have experienced slavery and persecution but have not been enslaved, colonised or forced to segregate on the scale that black people have. They do not face housing or job discrimination, police brutality, poverty or incarceration at the levels that black people do. This is not to say that they do not experience things like poverty and police brutality at all but again, not on the same scale - not even close.
Racists also discriminate across religious and cultural boundaries. Islamophobia is anti-moslem racism mixed with cultural intolerance. Anti-moslems are racists that target markers of moslem identity. Perpetrators of anti-moslem hate crime disproportionately target visibly moslem women, in the very same way racists target people for the colour of their skin. Anti-moslem racists often target Sikhs because Sikhs wear turbans, wrongly believing only moslems wear turbans.
Racists imposed a system where black people were and still are rejected from obtaining loans, thus blacks could not build wealth for future generations. When they are refused home loans to move into white neighbourhoods, they remain in poor neighbourhoods with depressed infrastructure, their kids go to underfunded overcrowded schools, drop out and with no job prospects due to racist employers not willing to hire them, they commit crime to survive and racist judges will give them longer prison sentences than they do to white folk. Racist police also target blacks more than white folk and charge them for crimes they didn't commit.
Upon release they cannot get decent paying jobs, they remain in poor areas, their kids go to underfunded overcrowded schools, the cycle of poverty continues generation after generation.
That is the reality of racist oppression and racism.

people who treat other races differently (usually in a hateful way) only because of something as ignorant and default as their race. they don't take time to actually get to know the person, they discriminate or automatically judge by how that person looks like. there are, however, reasons for people to be racists, and racism will always exist as long as there is more than one race, and as long as we as humans are only humans. despite how racists recieve a lot of negative feedback in society today, there are still many. an infamous racist organization is the K.K.K. a popular reason for racism, and why the 'white man' is stereotyped as racist, is because of white supremacy, whom also believe that people who are not white should not be in America. what these people don't realize is that being a true American isn't about your skin colour, it is about how you are brought up in America. just because you are Asian does not mean that you go "A CHING CHING GONG CHONG!", just like how not all whites are racists. but despite what people try to do to eliminate racism in a free country like America, there will always be arrogance that funds racism. whoo hooo! fantastic.
W.A.R. white aryan resistance is also a racist organization, bent on bringing 'justice to the aryan race'. the leader, Tom Metzger, is the cause of many hate crimes against non aryans. but understanding is what people need most. but just because racists in general have views that are considered arrogant by popular definition, doesn't mean that they're crazy white men holding up signs and saying that if you're not white, you're going straight to Hell. we should take time to understand WHY exactly they are racist, because most have had very bad experiences with people of other races, and find race a rational reason.

A wide spead but mercifully shrinking illness. those who do have this nasty sickness try to convience themselves that everyone has it . If fact the majority of people may be fearful of diffrent people due to lack of knowledge , most just need the chance to know someone to realize that all people are basiclly the same .
I have not a racist bone in my body . Ask my asian grandmother , my black mother or my white husband .
