'''White Power''' is a [[White nationalism|white nationalist]] [[political slogan]], and a name for the associated [[ideology]].

As a political phrase, ''White Power'' was coined by [[American Nazi Party]] leader [[George Lincoln Rockwell]]. He used the term in a debate with [[Stokely Carmichael]] of the [[Black Panther Party]], after Carmichael issued a call for "[[Black Power]]". ''White Power'' became the name of the American Nazi Party's newspaper, and the title of a book by Rockwell. Many white nationalists, including [[White supremacy|white supremacists]] and certain [[Neo-Nazism|neo-Nazis]], have since used the phrase ''White Power'' to describe their political goal.

''White Power'' as an ideology has become closely associated with a [[Racism|racist]] faction of the [[skinhead]] [[subculture]]. When the skinhead scene first developed in the [[United Kingdom]] in the late 1960s, it was heavily influenced by [[Jamaica]]n [[rude boy]]s and British [[Mod (lifestyle)|mods]].<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20010219175613/ska.about.com/musicperform/ska/library/1999/aa081699a.htm Smiling Smash: An Interview with Cathal Smyth, a.k.a Chas Smash, of Madness]</ref><ref>http://www.reggaereggaereggae.com/Special%20Articles.htm</ref><ref name="skinheads">{{cite book |last=Old Skool Jim |first= |title=Trojan Skinhead Reggae Box Set liner notes |publisher=Trojan Records |date= |location=London |id=TJETD169}}</ref> However, by the 1980s,
a sizable and vocal [[white power skinhead]] faction had formed; partly influenced by [[Ian Stuart Donaldson]] and his [[Rock Against Communism]] band, [[Skrewdriver]]. The band's 1983 [[Vinyl record|EP]] ''White Power'' was the first white power [[rock music]] recording printed by the White Noise [[record label]].
