I am no expert on the matter but assume that the 'black power' raising of the fist does not necessarily mean that person stands for or even understands the original Black Power movement philosophies. In the same way that Churchill didn't mean to offend the French with his V for Victory sign - a symbol of English archers showing defiance to the French armies from the 15th Century.

You have taken a symbol that is widely used and assumed that the person doing that, which includes many footballers on a regular basis, is an advocate of using violent means to overthrow the oppressors. I think that you are being led down a path by people with agendas to paint this in a much more sinister manner by linking a symbol of peaceful protest to a similar violent movement. By giving this airtime you are promoting this belief.

By the way the French weren't offended by Churchill, and I don't feel that white people should be offended or even concerned by this protest sign.
