 * OK, I have removed quite a few entries that I don't think have a clearly-established association with Black Power. I'd have preferred to discuss the intended scope of the template before gutting it. Huon (talk) 02:24, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

Okay lets just discuss it here instead of on my page. Good edits by the way, but we do need more content...

Terrible original research violations
This template is a mess! I know templates don't generally have footnotes, but there is no connection between most of the items in the template and Black Power.

Malcolm X? He was killed more than a year before Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., widely credited with coining the phrase, first used the expression. So why is Malcolm X in the template, and why is Powell missing? Malcolm X's obscure diary is included, but his hugely influential autobiography is missing?

This template would probably benefit from the application of some TNT. 107.10.236.42 (talk) 04:12, 20 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Malcolm X is influential in the development of the thought and movement. Im fine with gutting it, maybe remake it as a navbar?Mangokeylime (talk) 00:53, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

Black Supremacism link added in Ideologies section
Malcolm X, a remembered figure and hero for most of those who advocacy a black power in America, teached this:
 * that black people are the original people of the world[93]
 * that white people are "devils"[94]
 * that blacks are superior to whites, and
 * that the demise of the white race is imminent.

Martin Luther King Jr. himself criticized the movement as Black supremacist (see Black Power article), any other proofs i can add.

Thats why I added the Black supremacism link in 'Ideologies' section of the template.--BrugesFR (talk) 16:05, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
